...echo of new rumblings about disarmament negotiations, U.S. Physicist Edward Teller, "the father of the H-bomb." this week came forward with some well-chosen words of scientific caution. Writing in the January Foreign Affairs, Teller (TIME, Nov. 18) looks with knowing doubt on proposals to start disarmament by agreeing to halt tests of nuclear bombs. "It has been claimed that a nuclear test can be noticed around the world and that a ban on tests would therefore appear to be self-policing,"writes Teller. "Actually, a nuclear test is easily noticed only if it is performed in the most...
...past two years Stanford Physicist Robert Hofstadter, 42, has been probing the neutron by firing electrons down Stanford's 220-ft. accelerator at target nuclei of gaseous hydrogen and other elements. The electrons bounced off, said Hofstadter, "like tennis balls thrown at a target...
...Physicist Hofstadter did turn up some fundamental knowledge about the neutron that could only please his audience: the radius of the neutron is about 7 X 10 -14 centimeters, or roughly one 40,000,000,000,000th of an inch. Cried Columbia's Nobel Prizewinner Dr. I. I. Rabi: "Hofstadter has found the size of the primary building block of ourselves and our environment, the primordial particle. It is a finding of immense interest, importance, and even beauty...
...Johnson subcommittee got a dour estimate of U.S. strength from its first witness. In four hours of testimony, shaggy-browed, often emotional Dr. Edward Teller (TIME, Nov. 18) ran off a grim morning line on U.S. chances in the race for survival. The University of California physicist estimated that Russia is closing the gap in nuclear weapons, is about equal to the U.S. in aircraft and radar development, is ahead in ballistic missiles. Said Teller: "I would not say that the Russians caught up with us because they stole our secrets. They caught up with us because they worked harder...
