EINSTEIN WAS NOT ALONE AMONG I Atomic Experts By ARTHUR LEWIS Among the scientists who are advising the Secretary General on the corning International Confer ence on Atomic Energy, there are two Jews. They are: Dr. Isidor Isaac Rabi, the American represen tative, who is a Nobel Prize win ner in physics, and Dr. Bertrand Goldschmidt who is the French delegate and is one of the young est men to have such a responsible position for he has only just turned forty. Both of them are members of the advisory committee which has already drawn up the conference’s agenda and set its date and place (August and Geneva . The com mittee's task now is to screen the papers which will be presented at this historic scientific meeting. A small grey man whose eyes have a slighly quizzical, slightly humorous look, behind their glasses Dr. Rabi is one of the lead ing atomic scientists in the United States. Although his name may not be as well known as those of others, he has played an important a role as anybody in the develop ment of the atomic bomb and the maintenance of American superi ority in the nuclear field. Dr. Rabi is a member of the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission at the present time, and is a trustee of the Brookhaven National Labora tory. A lecturer and professor in physics at Columbia University since the twenties, he was named to the "Vacuum Tube Develop ment." one of the cover organiza tions of the National Defense Re search Council for the develop ment of the atomic bomb, when it was formed. He was the chairman of this committee from 1942 to 1945, and a consultant at the great atomic bomb manufacturing plant of Los Alamos from 1943 to 1945. Besides winning the Nobel Prize in 1944, Dr. Rabi was awarded the Elliot Cresson Medal of the Frank lin Institute in 1941, and the prize of the American Association for Advancement of Science in 1939. He gained all these honors for his work in the field of nuclear phys ics, quantum mechanics and mole cular beams. Despite his job as professor at Columbia University and the work he was doing for the government on the atomic bomb, Dr. Rabi found time to be an associate director of the Radiation Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Ballis tics Research Laboratory in Aber deen, Scotland. The American representative, who is 57 years old, regards him self as a New Yorker; he lives on Riverside Drive overlooking the Hudson River and close to his be loved Columbia University. He has not only taught at that great insti tution of learning; he was educated t here. After graduation, Dr. Rabi won an International Education Board Fellowship which took him to uni versities in Munich, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Leipzig and Zurich. Thus he has an international background for his work on the advisory com mittee. The youthful looking Dr. Gold schmidt is just as much a Parisian as Dr. Rabi is a New Yorker; he was born in Paris, was educated there, and has his home there now. From the time that he received an engineering degree at the age of 21 to the Fall of France, he was en gaged in research at the Curie La boratory. In 1941, he escaped to Great Brit ain and joined the Free French Forces. From 1942 until 1946, Dr. Goldschmidt was placed at the dis posal of the Department of Scien tific and Industrial Research of Great Britain, and worked on the development of the atomic bomb. He was first at the Metallurgical Laboratory in Chicago and then subsequently, with the British-Ca- nadian Atomic Group in Montreal and at Chalk River, Canada. Shortly after the war, Dr. Gold schmidt returned to France where he lectured in chemistry at the Sorbonne in Paris. He joined France’s Atomic Energy Commis sion when it was formed and work ed on the production of plutonium; he is now the director of the chem istry division in the commission. Dr. Goldschmidt represented France at the Atomic bomb tests carried out by the United States at Bikini Atoll in 1946. He was also a technical adviser for the French delegation to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commis sion in 1946, 1947 and 1948, so that he is no stranger here.
