Powell reports on the meeting of the Pugwash Continuing Committee the previous week. They have received notice of the attendance of scientists of the highest standing from the United States, U.S.S.R. and Great Britain.

"Another indication of success of the Movement comes from the fact that we are receiving many letters from scientists in other disciplines who wish to take some part in the progress of the work, and who would like to see its scope broadened. We are, of course, sympathetic to their intentions, but wish to proceed with great caution as our resources are limited."
