Washburn Faculty Asks U.S.
To Subsidize Atomic Study

Dr. Bryan S. Stoffer said the faculty believed also that fundamental research in nuclear physics and in other scientific fields should be free and untrammeled and that the manufacturing processes used in developing the atomic bomb should be kept secret "until such time as we can set up a world organization sufficiently powerful and effective to control any attempted misuse of such discoveries for aggressive purposes."
Those three points were included as amendments to a resolution being sponsored by the independent citizens committees on Arts, Science and Professions, Inc. and were written by Washburn faculty members to avoid their stand being interpreted as a recommendation for immediate release of the atomic bomb secrets.
