Harold C. Urey (1893-1981) writes on behalf of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists to appeal for donations to fund public education on atomic energy. The need for public education was spurned by the refusal of the United States' proposal of international control of atomic energy by several republics of the Soviet Union.
