Lme ench growth, called “security in

can scientist from accepting an invitation to
represent this eountry in a Eurofiean meet
ing of the Committee on Science and its So
cial Relations of the International Council
of Scientific Uttidha. Dr. Bart J. Bok, as
sistant director of the Harvard College Ob
servatory, was to present an official state
ment of the Uj S. Atomic Energy Qommis-
■ion on security regulations at the London
conference. He was unable to obtain a pass
port. after weeks of litigation, in time to at-
tps meeting.
Lufit-minute attempts to get the passfcort
included a wire to Secretary of Slate Mar-

When the passport application was filed,
the astronomer was assured it would be is
sued within a week. When he later was told
that security investigation was delaying is
suance, Dr. Rok wired the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
KR l chief J. Edgar Hoover replied that
the passport matter was wholly in the hands
of the State Department.
In Washington, state department pass
port officials confirm Dr. Bok’s version of
the incident, but they refuse to offer any
further explanation.
Our prestige on the subject of mterna-

As listed by the "New Republic" (Aug

rather impressive. He voted for the confirm

BOnSgsee. He voted for the Greek-Turirish
Aid Bill, by which the United States agrees
to send $400 million abroad without the
sanction of the United Natons.
Senator McGrath demonstrated hie sym-
pathy for labor by casting ballots both
against the Taft-Hartley Bill as originally
