Oppenheimer Plea Over Turn in Security Case
The Atomic Energy Commission weighs the Oppenheimer case after a three man security panel found him loyal but too risky to regain security clearance. The majority cited past associations with Communists and delayed hydrogen bomb work while a minority urged full reconsideration. Opposed by Gray and Morgan, the panel left the question unresolved pending further action by the commission.
