Nuclear physicist Edward Teller said Wednesday night that the United States should "unilaterally abandon secrecy" to help create "an open world without which a disarmed world is not possible...
Picked by the Kennedy Administration to receive the Atomic Energy Commission's $50,000 Fermi Award, given last year to Physicist Edward Teller, was J. Robert Oppenheimer, 58, director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. The announcement and a long biography detailed Oppenheimer's contributions to the development of nuclear energy, but did not mention the 1954 hearings, after which the AEC's five commissioners voted 4-1 to declare the physicist a security risk because of "fundamental defects in his character . . . close association with Communists . . . falsehoods, evasions and misrepresentations." After all the years...
...nuclear physics," says an American student at Germany's most notably nuclear university. Before Hitler, George August University in Goötingen harbored some of the world's great nuclear names-Born. Hahn, Heisenberg-and hatched a Who's Who of U.S. science -Fermi, Compton, Teller, Oppenheimer. After the war, as one of Germany's few relatively unbombed universities, Göttingen got quickly to work restoring its reputation, but its greatest days probably lie ahead. Last week surveyors slogged through spring mud to measure Göttingen for a mammoth expansion, at an eventual cost...
...about in lederhosen, and Italy's Enrico Fermi, future U.S. father of the Abomb. U.S. Physicist Robert Oppenheimer, winner last week of the AEC's Fermi Award (see PEOPLE), got his Ph.D. at Göttingen in 1927. Another Göttingen recruit: Hungary's Edward Teller, future U.S. father of the H-bomb...
...appointed for six years so that they will be above partisan influences. Most of the present committee members, he added, were appointed under the Eisenhower administration. Except for a few people, Ramsey said the committee was the same group which chose to present last year's prize to Edward Teller, one of the principal hostile witnesses in Oppenheimer's 1954 security review...
