Hc works directly under Dr. LUIS who heads a physics! group at the Laboratory. His specialty is high energy physics, a field in which has been considerable exchange of informa- tion between the united States and the USSR.during the past several years. There have also been several international conferences and scientific meetings in thin field, which have boon?attended by scientists from the USSR, as well no fron.thio 601.1111 born June 22, 1926, at Birmingham, Alabama, of native-born.porcnta.

He received his Eh.D.chrce from the university'of Chicago in 1954, after attending that university since 1946. Ho served in the united States Navy.fran 1944 to 1946, and was employed in research at the university of Ghicago from 1954 to 195$, Just prior to oncoming his prcnant position. In hin AEG Parsonncl Security Questionnaire, listed affiliation with an unutunlly long list of organizations, among which.nore American_Fricndo Service Committee; United Fodcralists; Southside (Chicago) Community-Conference on Paths to Peace; Peace, Inc.3 Atomic Scionticto of Chicago; Consumers union and Concum?rs Research; and the American Civil liberties union. in addition he listed nonbcrohip inother academic, welfare, and service organizations, the entire list totaling 23 organizationo. 1371?. 2 Bureau (Reg.) San Francisco :2 Kg? or?l?b XQJX b7C b3 SF b7E Investigation of ROSENFEIB as an revealed that the "Chicago Daily New" for September 5, 1952; listed him as one of a group of Univeraity of Chicago aoientiato who lahaled the apoearanoo of Dr. E. U. GONDGN before the HGUA as a ?vz-xitoh hunt. It was aetomined that on September 12, 1952, ROSENFELD allegedly wrote a note on the hack: of a table mat . in the Cornell Lounge, Chioago, his view concerning a state- moat on the face of the mat in praise of tho capitalistic {system and criticising the system. In his comments, ROSENFEIJ) stated he was disturbed by this statement, and queotionoa omethor it did any good to imply that we are perfect and that tho Russians are completely evil. He the: hope that this country could coexist with Russia, and abated that the coment on the mat was the sort of thingo that starts wars . A confioontial tour-co advised that 30833me was one of several apeakora at a omposium hold on December 18 1952, sponsored by the American Peace Crusade on the "Vioma Peace. congress. In a indicated support 3? the Vienna Peace and was oritioal of the United ta ea. The investigation revealed that ROSENFELD and his - family were widely lookoa upon as sincere and active humanitariana, and that his motivation for making Speeches and associating; himself with various organizations appeared to be his great oonoern over the dangers of an atomic way. No specific interest for Communism on the part of ROSENFEIB woo developed in the: investigation. a to ROSENFEID was interviewed. by AEG ropresontativoo on January 5, 3.956.. he advised that ho had resided in Egypt booause his father, a sugar cane technologist: had been callaai to that to in aolving problem affecting; tho augaz? cane production. Ho stated that ha and hia family had. boon evacuated from Egypt by the United Stataa Air Foroo, when the German Army had threatened to occupy that country. ROSENFEIB advioed that although his Job at the was in the field of experimental physios, he would havo no objection to working on atomic weapons, and believed that their #7 9? . k: .1- 45 ?7 a: a was necessary for this country to keep up with the He expressed the belief that Russia wants to bring; as muohof the world under its influence as is possible, and probably wishes to do this without starting a war. He believed it was evident that was is really no longer a reasonable instnuuent of foreign policy, in View or atomic-arms! development . He thought that the United States should stay strong enough to have sufficient deterrent power to assure that Russia does not grab more territory. He felt, however, that this. country should try to live peacefully with the Russians, while remaining strong enough to deter further agrefssion. I He expressed the hope that war was no longer a way to solve problems, and that tension between the United States and the USSR could be held at a low pitch so that in a period of years some sort of arms' limitation agreement could be reached. ROSENFELD said he agreed with the action of the United States in Korea, and that in the event of another Korea, we would have to stand firm and resist by force. He hoped that continued coexistence, however, would demonstrate to the nations of the world the possibility of their getting along with each other; that they would get in the habit of doing this, and that this would create a mutual desire to continue the practice. Lair 4 He also believed that while coexisting with the USSR, 1 1 we must win the of free nations that the Soviets are also trying to win over. ROSENFEIB expressed the belief that the Communist Party is dangerous, because of its potential for committing espionage and sabotage, a danger which could not be ignored. He believed that the goverment is security program against Communists is necessary, and that Comunists and persons, who could be influenced by them, should not be in sensitive positions. He stated he had no objection if the security system does not clear a person, but that he did ohject to political ?interference in the security system for political seasons. He believed that such interference was present in the CONDON case. b3 va .ROSENFEIJ) stated that while he was in Chic-ago, he had frequently made talks, handled preoo releases and. had written letters to newspapers in connection with his convictions, as exyreasod above. He ?air}. that acme of these activities wow-2 conducted in connection with organizationo to which he belongea at the time. He related that he was aware in conducting campaigns for peace that his views might often coincide with thoae of the Communistsi Ho believed that this was unavoidable, and he stated that ho had always tried to avoid making speeches ?boi'oro commist?front groups, and had attempted to restrict his: talks to things before ?th oughtful groups, which were not Strictly inflaamnatory in character. He said in exception to this: was his appearance before the symposimn sponsored by the American Poaoo Crusade, He realized later that this: was not what he would describe as a reoponsiblo group, and that this incident was later source of considerable mbmaosment to him. Concerning his oomento on tho table mat in the Cornell. Lounge, ROSENFEID mid he believed in principle with the statement on the mat; to the effect that Capitalism is 1 superior to Commiom, but thought the statement was inflammatory l? and woula provoke overly antiw?ussian i?ooiingo, which mat to controlled if we are to get along peacefully with the USSR. He stated he realized this note was poorly worded and written in haste. )E-ag ROSENFELB's Security File at the local Office of Am: reflects: that he was in Europe between september 11%, 1959, and November 7, 1959,, to preoent a pope? at the Corn Conforonoo in Geneva on accelerators and instrumentation.
