Eaton writes concerning Senator Thomas J. Dodd's appearance on a Cleveland television station the previous night, denouncing the Pugwash movement. "He reiterated his charges that the Soviet scientists were all political tools of an international conspiracy, and that Americans who met with them were deceived and misled."

Eaton encloses photographs from Life magazine as he comments, "When one looks at the striking photographs of the brilliant Soviet scientists in the June 16 issue of Life, one feels a new sense of shock that such an inaccurate and false report could be sued under the imprimatur of the powerful Senate of the United States." He comments that some of the depicted Soviet scientists have participated in Pugwash Conferences.
