A fnrther review of the file reflected that contained therein
there were letters of recommendation written in answer to requests sent
by the Ferscnnel Department of the California Institute of Technology
from the following individuals. RAY T. BIRGE, Chairman of the Department , .
of Physics, University of California at Berkeley; a letter on a Naval ,Jaj~ A .,
form from Captain LEONARD B. LOEB. It was noted on this form it was I;
stated "would rehire? Yes." "In personal loyalty to superiors only fair." '
Inclined to act on own initiative and assume responsibilities on his own
even though ho could get it by asking permission." Dr. NICHOLAS A.
FEHZFTTI, on this letter it was noted that REHZBTTI highly recommended
DAYTQ? and stated that he had been previously recommended to the U. S.
Zhvy by Br. H. H. HATT-SMITH of the University of California.t .' g _ .92. x 3'...Contained also in DAYTOH's file was a letter from the Revy...9 , ,,3§;1i
Department, Qgrry Building in San Francisco, California, which was " "H
of Technology. This letter in substance highly praised DAYTON as being
n cnyoblc Physicist and loyal worker. The letter went on to*state that
it was HAYTQE's desire to leave the ihvy Project in that the Degaussing
troject had passed out of the research stage and that he felt that his
talents as a Physicist could be more adequately used elsewhere.I
_ Dr. HILLIAJ R. SUYT1? of the ?hySiCS Department, California
Institvbo of Technology, was interviewed at his office on the campus.
SUYTHB related the following infon4ation.with regard to DAYTON. DAYTOR .
92 was omylo;ed on an OSRD Project which was then known as Physics lmmber 3.
A segment of this Project was concerned with research in the field of
spinner r»clots and was hooded by STWTHE.

the time when the Project was making rapid advancements in the research. _ ;

having an extremely keen sense of physical insight. This was typified
by the fact that in the course of his work on the Project he was largely
instrumental in solving particularly large research problems. One of these _
entailed a type of formula with regard to the trajectory behavior of p
spinner rockets and another problem of this nature was the design and
fabrication of a dynamic balanoer which was a very critical part of the
launching technique for this missile. 92
During the time that DAYTON was employed on this Project because
of his integral part of the research, all the then knowledge of the research "
being done in the field of spinner rockets was known tohim. The information
accumulated in the course of this research has since been declassified,
according to SMYTHE. -
As part of the same Physics Project Number 3, there was taking
place at the same time some very highly confidential work in the field of
atomic fission. The department in which DAYTON was employed was considerably
isolated from that in which the atomic research was taking place. YSMYTHE
advised that he personally had a good deal of more latitude to move from _
department to department and that during this time he learned only in -'3
a general way as to what was taking place in the atomic section. According
to SMYTHE, it is highly unlikely that DAYTON would have come into possession
of any information concerning the atomic research and that he 92had never
noted any indication that DAYTON was concerned with amrthing other than
his own research problem on spinner rockets.
SMYTHE described DAYTON as a "conservative individual. Be
said, that he had nothing particular to base this statement on other than :
the fact that he believed that DAYTON was a man of means. »He said that
as a matter of actual fact he did not recall ever having had any political
discussions with DAYTON, nor did he note that DAYTON ever engaged in
them with others at the laboratory. "' 7
" SMYTI-IE stated that he knew that DAYTON was an ardent admirer
of Dr. J. ROBERT OPPEHHEIMER, who prior to the war had headed the Physics
Department at the University of California at Berkeley. He stated that
-DAYTO192"s admiration for 0PPE3II£EI;-AER was almost an obsession and stated
that in his opinion DAYTON decided not to return to the University of
California after the war because he felt that inasmuch as OPPENHEILIER
was no longer there that he did not wish to further pursue his studies at
that institute. "
srmlm stated that ho has long regarded _J. mBEKP?5P1"EMIEIMBR
and his brother, 1-" ma, as being Ypinldh station. h°'"='"- W" h° W1nothing very specfc to base this on. SMYTHE stated that he had no
knowledge of nAY10N's associates while he was at the University of California,_ _l

a pinkish group. SMYTHE stated that the foregoing was entirely

entirely that oi Professor and student and as such he had no knowledge
concerning him other than an appraisal of technical ability. BAOHER
stated further that it was impossible for him to assess any possible
political ideologies on the part of DAYTON inasmuch as their relationship
was such that he was never given aw insight into DAY'lON's beliefs. .
