German Scientist Hopes to
Avoid Publicity of First
Visit to u. S.
BY the Associated prase

PASADENA, Calf, December 90
When Prof. Albert Einstein, the bushy-
nalred little man with the sagging suit
and complicated mathematical equa-
tons, arrives in California tomorrow,
he hopes he will be recognized only as
an ordinary scientist taking advantage
OF the research facilities Of the Califor-
MA Institute Of Technology and the
Mount Wilson Observatory.
In correspondence with the men at
the two institutions with whom he will
work, Prof. Einstein has requested he
be spared the publicity occasioned by
his first visit to the United States. He
IS desirous Of pursuing his studies with
all the time that will be available.
Avoided New York.
Prof. Einstein avoided New York so
that he might be spared the ordeal Of
interviews and receptions, coming d.
rect to California from his home in
Germany aboard a combination freight
and passenger ship.
Just what Prof. EinStein's plans are
Is not known to either the staff Of the
California Institute or the Mount Will
son Observatory. They expect, however,
he will avail himself Of a mass of data
gathered since last February, when he
returned to Germany, and test his uni
fled field theory" with 1t.
I'VE will endeavor to respect Dr. Elm
STEMS wishes, whatever they may be-"
said DR.. Robert A. Millikan, famous
physicist who Is head of the California
institute. "All the facilities Of the in
stitute win be at his command"
DR.. Edwin Hubble Of the Mount Will
son staff said he was hopeful that
Southern California would allow the
German scientist sufficient time to at
tend all the seminars held at the OBJ
servatory buildings.
Seeks Better Acquaintance.
I'VE of the Mount Wilson staff hope
to be able to get better acquainted with
DR. Einstein on this visit" said DR..
Hubble. I'VE would like to have as
much of his time as possible in the in
terest of science"
When he visited America last year,
Einstein was sought after for his auto
graph and bounded for interviews which
had no relation to his chosen field of
endeavor He was invited to many
functions, and rather than appear dis
courteous accepted.
On leaving the United States, he re-
marked philosophically, "Since hearing
some formal speeches I've got a new
idea Of infinity."

two men whom he did not recognize
and who did not say they were officers.
He said one flashed a light on him
and the other struck him on the head
with a pistol and that he fired his
pistol and fed. His head was bandaged.
The killing was the first serious
trouble since last August 81, when
two miners were killed and another
wounded in fight near here. There
had been no deaths up to that time
since last May S, when two deputies,
commissary clerk and miner were
killed in fight at Evarts which fol-
lowed by week another clash there
in which Deputy Jesse Pace was slain

quilted Of PAGES murder. William B.

The Favorite Argument.

The favorite argument adduced by the
proponents of the Smoot-Hawley tariff
during the long debates in Congress. was
that the higher rates were necessary to
maintain the wage scales for American
labor.
The bill itself bore that euphonism as
part Of its title.
In vain the opponents Of the measure
protested that the industries most sought
to be benefited showed no dminution Of
profits or production, and therefore did not
come within the rule laid down by the
President that tariff changes should be
limited TO those industries that showed
distress resulting in unemployment. They
merely replied that the American STANDARD
of living must be maintained and that
American working men must be assured
against wage reduction.
Still unforgotten are such prophecies as
that made by Senator Watson. of Indiana.
administration spokesman by virtue of his
majority leadership, that passage of the
Grundy bill-althoueh he, of course, did
not designate it that way-would be fol-
lowed within a month by an upturn in the
industrial situation and shortly thereafter
would place the United States back on the
plane Of prosperity.
And now we have the biggest industrial
group in the country cutting wages. despite
the tariff favors extended. The sequence
of events is obvious. The Smoot- Hawley
embargo rates resulted first in the imposi-
ton of reprisal duties by our best customers
among foreign nations. In order to escape
these. billions Of dollars worth of American
industries moved over the border to Canada,
and into other countries, where they not
only avoided the high import rates, but
were able to market their goods abroad,
notably in the various colonies. dependen-
cies and dominions of the British empire.
with full benefit of preferential tariff for
them. and reciprocity agreements, with
other nations. denied to the United States.
Tens, perhaps hundreds, Of thousands Of
Canadians, Belgians, Italion and British
workinemen are now engaged in the manu-
facture Of goods. which previous to the
threat Of the Smoot. Hawley bill. was being
done by factory hands in our own country.
Obviously this alienation Of business from
our total of commerce, involves the partial
idleness OF concerns that formerly supplied
all this export trade.
The diminution of business motivates
the decrease Of wages. so the net result of
the tariff bill which was to rehabilitate our
whole economic system, to domestic labor
has Leen to take ten per cent out of the pay
envelope of million American working
men.
