...absurd and dangerous mockery of Communist Frédéric Joliot-Curie at the head of France's Atomic Research Commission (TIME, April 17) came to an end last week. Premier Georges Bidault announced, "with regret," the dismissal of the Red nuclear physicist. "Whatever the qualifications of this scientist," said the Premier, "his public statements and his unreserved acceptance of the [pro-Russian] resolutions . . . of the Communist Party make it impossible to maintain him in his functions of High Commissioner...
...Physicist Seitz wants to prostitute his scientific talents inventing weapons of destruction, that is an affair of his own conscience and he should be free to do so, but he is guilty of the very thing he most decries when he attempts to dictate to the consciences of his colleagues...

Although the April issue containing the article had already gone to press, AEC summarily "requested" the presses stopped-the first time it had taken such a drastic step. It burned 3,000 copies already run off, melted down the type and impounded every galley proof...
