OF new YORK
Einstein Is Offered
Big Sums For
Names Use

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-tPp-w h a :
Albert Einstein fears most about
his approaching visit TO the United
States is his arrival in New York.
he told the Associated Press today.
With an expression OF pain and
bewilderment on his face. he said
the dread OF having a fuss made
over him had cast a shadow yer
his entire journey. This was plan
ned as a quiet and private pleasure
trip TO New York. Cuba and the
Panama Canal. followed by a period
of concentrated study and an inter-
change of ideas and information
with American Savants at Pasad-
ens California.
Facing the cameramen and sub
hitting 70 the cross-fire Of the
newspapermen's questions are
enough Of an ordeal. but that will
be over in a few minutes" said
the father Of the relatively theory.
Then the real difficulties will
begin. It's the crowds. the invita-
tons. the speeches that I abhor.
For that reason 7 am seriously
thinking of remaining aboard the
Belgenland until We leave for Cuba
Money Offered
With a puzzled air he revealed
that tens Of thousands OF dollars
had been offered him bv American
firms dealing in d~isinfectants.
toilet waters, haberdashery. musical
instruments. clothing and what
not. II he would consent to sign
his name to statements that he
had used the articles and found
them satisfactory.
rs IL not a sad commentary upon
the co~mmercialism and. I must
add, the corruption of our time
that business firms make these Of
fers with no thought OF wanting
to insult me?" he asked with a
shake OF his head. 1T evidently
means that this form OF corrup-
tion-for corruption it ISIS a
widespread one"
The wizard OF the fourth dhmen-
sion cannot understand why the
news OF his impending voyage
should have evoked the response 1t
has in the United States.
Times Deplored
1T Is simply terrible" he said
several times.
Mass psychology is a difficult
thing to fathom. I fear historians
never have taken the factor Of
mass psychology into account suf-
ficiently In writing history. They
look uDon events in retrospect with
the idea that thev can define
exactly the causes that led up to
this or that outstanding event. In
behind these apparent
there are indefinable fac
tors Of mass psychology about
which We know little or nothing.
Pasadena and Mount wilson
Observatory have the most perfect
equipment in the world of the
kind I use in my work" he said.
Not that / expect TO undertake
experiments In California which 7
could not make here. As far as
that goes. I can Just as well do my
work in my little study in the
garrett.
But 7 do want TO exchange in
