.EINSTEIN PRESIDES
AT FETE IN BERLIN
Delivers Address at Formal Open
ing of Combined German Radio
and Gramophone Exposition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 23.-Or. Albert
Einstein, famous mathematician and
scientist, yesterday opened formally the
combined German radio and gramo-
phone exposition.
Prof. Einstein declared In his formal
address:
radio has the unique function OF
reconciling nations. Until now, what
nations knew of each other has been
almost invariably derived from distort-
ing mirrors Of their respective press
organs.
"The radio shows the way people
really live and in most cases their best
sides. The radio thus helps in remov-
ing mutual misunderstanding which so
often turn into active distrust and hos
tility."
The exposition authorities cabled their
greetings to Thomas Alva Edison, pro-
claiming him the foremost pioneer of
science. The message said: May your
great achievements continue to be
blessing to all nations and help imbue
the world with faith in the invincible
powers of the human mind"

WET POLL TO GUIDE
RUTH MCCORMICK
Stands Ready to Obey Mandate in
Triple Referendum ~on
Prohibition.
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. August 23.--Tht
prohibition issue in the Illinois sena.
torial campaign was clearly defined to.
day, with Ruth Hanna Mccormick, the
Republican nominee, pledged to abide
by the voters decision in O referendum
and James Hamilton Lewis, the Demo
cratic candidate standing on an out
and-out wet" platform.
Mrs. Mccormick, who had always
been considered dry, announced at the
Republican State Convention here yes
terday that she stands ready to obey
the mandate of the voters In the triple
referendum on prohibition to be de-
cided on November 4, the same day as
the senatorial election.
Her speech followed the announce
ment OF the State @. O. p. platform,
containing prohibition plank. almost
identical with Mrs. McCormick's stand.
The Plank, which pledged Republican
Representatives in Congress TO carry
out the win of their districts, was con-
sidered q compromise. between the wet
and dry factions In the party.
The Democrats, meeting Wednesday,
followed the lead of their standard
bearer. former Senator Lewis. in favor
ing repeal of all prohibition legislation.
In the first statement she has made
on prohibition since announcing her
candidacy for the Senate, MRS. Nc
Cormick reaffirmed that she was per-
sonally dry. She said. however. that
she was q member of the Republican
party which pledges itself to be re-
sponsive to the win of the people," and
she outlined specifically what course she
would take II the various referendums
are carried.
If the voters favor repeal Of the
amendment. she said she
would vote to, submit the question to
the States. If the people decide for
modification Of the Volstead act, she
said her course would be "in sympathy
with the principle so approved, but the
definite course to be pursued would be
dependent. of course, upon the nature
of the modification demanded"
Concerning the third referendum re-
lating to repeal Of the Illinois search
and seizure act. she said 1t was State
law which shall not now discuss"
Mrs. Mccormick added that until
the constitutional amendment Is re-
pealed or until the Volstead act Is re-
pealed or amended, stand squarely for
enforcement of both measures"
