way it did. It freed me, with one stroke, of a lot of unpaid administra
tive work which I have done for years for the Foundation. But it also
has cut off an income of about $3,000 per month, an amount badly
needed to keep the work going at Orgonon.
I assume you have understood why I did not go to court. In this
manner, I at least maintained my honor and intellectual independence.
I am not standing convicted. I did not concede any authority to anyone
who had nothing to do with the primordial Orgone Energy. You are, of
course, free to write whatever and wherever you please. You would not
damage me.
The in junction is being contested as unconstitutional and on many
other grounds. I do not think it will stand. If it stands, it has only killed
a little branch of the total body of my work. I am proceeding with
cosmic engineering, desert work and the cloudbuster which has been
televised both in Maine and in Arizona. I am not going under yet. One
does not do such big things as I do without the risk of breaking one's
neck, and should I ever break my neck, it would make quite a bit of
noise.
I am sorry not to be able to write too much about things, mainly
because I hate touching this stuff. The physicians in New York are
going to fight in court, and there are also powerful friends around who
are fighting the evil in chemistry and medicine on my side, though I
scarcely know who they are.

universal extermination, waiting to see if Ike will show himself a strong
man, if Malenkov is any real improvement on Stalin, if McCarthy is
finished or not. The world sure is a melting pot at the moment. The only
big question is : Will we destroy ourselves with H-and Cobalt bombs
BEFORE Reich's peaceful orgones are accepted? You ask what has
happened to Churchill? I don't know. His position must be most diffi-
