下午科普常委会开会。
晨六点半起。八点至院。上午郑作新来谈动物标本整理委员会。余告以限于人力财力,明年度不能希望有很多之预算,只能维持现状。目前郑作新出三分之一时间,外有李世忠一人及新聘雨农之子为技正。关于科学名词工作,已有天文与化学命名两种付印,预期明年有11种可以出版。现惟工学名词以技术局要参加,遂致停顿,因技术局从未开始。
九点开计划局局务会议,谈1951年计划,计划局、联络局与办公厅如何合力办公问题,尉盛勋去东北后事务由张君代。午后二点半至干面胡同卅一号开科普常会,通过1951年预算,自二百万斤小米减至一百万斤以下。讨论组织科联、科普宣传委员会及各地分会筹备委员人选。五点, 余先离席。晚读俄文。
Blackett:p.137, Nonnan Cousins & T.K.Finletters article say, “Why then did we drop it (原子弹)? Whatever the answer, one thing seems likely: there w出notenough time between July16, when we knew at (New) mexico that the bomb wouldwork , and Aug。8 , the Russian deadline date , for us to have set up the veηcomplicatedmachiriery of a test atomic bombing involving time-consuming problems of area preparat10ns,etc。。。.It may be argued that this decis10n was justified;that it was a legitimateexercise of power politics in a rough & tumble world;由at we avoided a strugglefor authority in Japan similar to 阳t we have experienced in Germany & Italy。”
