Committee of Jewish Refugees. For various reasons it was considered to be better to apply to this Committee rather than to the Academic Assistance Council. This explains why Adams has made no reference to the possibility of your coming to Manchester in his correspondence with you. Let us hope for the best, Yours sincerely, M Polanyi Dr. E. Orowan, Budapest XI, Lenke-ter 5. I was very interested to hear of your new work. I have been thinking a little about plasticity lately.

(Later, in the 1960s university lecturer in Rhodesia. Knighted in 1970.) Not long earlier, in 1933 Karl Mannheim and Leo Szilárd wrote a letter to Adams - in the interest of Michael Polanyi's brother, Karl Polanyi. [5.] January, 1936. Dear Orowan, I am sorry to say that Bragg knows nothing of any decision that might have been taken in your case. I fear that I will not be able to tell you what has happened before the end of this week. I feel sure that you will not have to wait any longer than that. Yours M Polanyi Autograph letter.
