Fascinating mirror of the atom spy hysteria of the period, summarized in the opening lines: "History's darkest pages contain
no more violent and explosive passages than those now being written in the intense struggles of foreign powers to learn the
secret of the Atom Bomb. Only the eternal vigilance of our own undercover agents keeps this deadly information from the evil
hands that would turn this powderkeg of desperate hates and vicious emotions into a world-wide cataclysm. . . ."

Acerbic rebuttal of the "fantastic renewal of the attempts to discredit the scientists who worked on the atomic bomb. . .
It is significant that the question of reappointment or replacement of the present members of the Atomic Energy Commission
comes up this August. I wonder if a certain clique of the military is working closely with the chairman of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities, [i.e. Joseph McCarthy] in an effort to so discredit civilian control that the army will be handed
back the atomic energy project on a platter appropriately stained with the sacrificial blood of the lopped-off heads of our
scientists who advocated civilian control."
