Moore Appeals To President
To Clear Name Of Physicist
An appeal to "clear the name"
of atomic physicist J. Robert
Oppenheimer has been written
to President Eisenhower by Dr.
D. C. Moore, acting director of
the University department of
physics.
Dr. Moore commended Prof.
Oppenheimer, who has been de
clared a security rislc by the
"Atomic Energy Commission se
curity board, saying that Oppen
heimer has served "in a way few
men were willing or able to
serve, and most surely the debt
this country owes him is be
yond repayment."
NU Sociologist
Publishes Book
J. O. Hertzler, professor of
Sociology at the University for 31
years, has recently published his,
seventh book.
The book, "Society in Action,"
is an analysis of human society
as a "going concern." Hertzler
said, "I have tried to describe
society not only in terms of its
structures, but especially in
terms of its operational aspects."
HERTZLER, WHO has been
gathering material for the book
for seven years, explained that
special emphasis is on social
processes. "As every science
has discovered, people must
understand processes if they are
to manipulate or control them in
the interests of human welfare.
And in this case the processes of
sociology, or social engineering,
is the end of all scientific
endeavor."
After obtaining his A.B. degree
from Baldwin-Wallace College in
Ohio, Hertzler did graduate work
ti. Harvard. He taught at the
University of Wisconsin for four
years before coming to Nebraska.
He was chairman of the social
science department here for
more than 20 years.
Hertzler said that his eighth
book is now in preparation.
THE THREE-man AEC-ap-pointed
security board voted 2-1
that Oppenheimer was a "loyal
citizen" but too much a security
risk to be cleared for secrets. Dr.
Moore called talk of keeping sec
rets from Oppenheimer "ridicu
lous." Continuing, he said, "For the
welfare of our beloved country
and in the interests of decency
I hope that you will see fit to
clear the name of Prof. Oppen
heimer." MOORE STATED that Oppen
heimer's political views have
"never been a secret . . . When
the. German Third Reich finally
made the decision to keep sci
entists from working because of
their political views or of their
race, history has shown that they
committed one of their great
mistakes. I hope we do not re
peat their mistakes."
Dr. Moore expressed the opin
ion that "if a curtain is to be
dropped between Prof. Oppen
heimer and the Atomic Energy
Commission, the secrets for the
most part are on the side of
Prof. Oppenheimer."

In other actions at the annual
board meeting, which was held
in conjunction with a three-day
Alumni Round-Up, a resolution
was passed concurring with the
recommendation that the Board

"concurs with the basic princi
ple that the Director of Inter
collegiate Athletics, the Chan
cellor and the Board of Regents

plete responsibility for adminis
tration of the athletic depart
