ATOMIC RESEARCH
BRITISH SCIENTISTS AND ORGANISATION LONDON, May 28. “Eighty per cent, of the British scientists who worked oil atom bombs during the war refuse to join the Government atomic research organisation,” says the science writer of the Evening Standard. “About 100 scientists were engaged during the war on atomic research. They object to working under Civil Service rules which, they claim, are out of keeping with the requirements of any research body. Some scientists, if is reported, were not asked to join the Government body because they, made it clear during the war that they were not prepared to do so. Some returned to work under the lure of science, like Professor P. M. Blackett, who is working on cosmic rays.” The correspondent understands that work is being held up on the research station at Didcot for lack of materials and manpower.
