Oppenheimer Faces Possible Permanent Ban On Secrets
Princeton June 2. Close associates say Dr J Robert Oppenheimer is shocked and fighting mad at a recommendation that he be barred permanently from atomic secrets. He has not spoken publicly and studies at the Institute For Advanced Study as friends pledge to press his fight for vindication. The case centers on information from 12 years ago when he helped build the A bomb and the Atomic Energy Commission accuses him of security risk. Oppenheimer will remain silent until the AEC decision.
