Prof Takes Girl for Ride; Walks Home
J. Robert Oppenheimer, 30, associate professor of physics at the University of California, took Miss Melva [sic] Phillips, research assistant in physics living at 2730 Webster Street, for an automobile ride in the Berkeley Hills at 3 o’clock this morning.
He stopped his machine on Spruce Street at Alta Street and tucked a large robe about his passenger.
“Are you comfortable?” Prof. Oppenheimer asked.
Miss Phillips replied that she was.
“Mind if I get out and walk for a few minutes?” he queried.
