Council Hits Him.

While his friends and foes here re-
vived discussion of the proposal to bar
him from America yesterday, DR.. Albert
Einstein chuckled to himself in Berlin
and delved into ancient history fer a
jibe at the members Of the Woman
Patriot Cooperation, authors CT the
charge that he is an anarchist.
With a twinkle in his eye, the famous
scientist, according to the Associated
Press. urged the patriotic dear ladies'
to give heed, therefore, to the sage, and
remember that the capitol of mighty
Rome was at one time saved by the
cackling of her faithful geese"
The dispute which arose when the
women's organization early last week
asked the State Department to keep
more heated yesterday as the National
Patriotic Council described him as
German bolshevik."
Relatively Theory Hit.
The council, however, went step
further and asserted that his original
theory of relativity was of no scientldc
value or purpose, and was not under
standable because there was nothing
there to understand"
The. Executive Board of the council
said all patriotic organizations shoulu
make strong representations 10 the
State Department to prevent the en- en-
trance into the United States OF the
noted scientist. Albert Einstein; also
Leon Trotsky and George Bernard
Shaw" The latter two were termed
radicals and Communists and unit TO
enter the United States or to engage In
teaching, lecturing or public prcpa-
ganda."
A resolution to be presented to the
State Department was signed by MAJ.
Cen. Amos A. Fries, U. S. A., retired:
Mrs. Noble Newport Potts, president OF
the council: Col Cortland Nixon, MISS
Helen Norris Cummings, waiter Steele
and ReXord L. Holmes.
Rabbi j. T. Loeb of the Adas Israel
ccngregation criticized both the State
Department and the council when he
learned of the second attempt to par
Dr.. Einsteir..
The State Department forwarded to
its consular agents abroad copies OF the
original charges filed against the Sclen-
tist. and DR.. Loeb expressed his sur
prise and INDICATION" that the depart
ment should place itself in the "unfor-
tunate position OF even considering
such charges against Prof. Einsteln.
DR.. Loeb expressed the belief that
the two organizations Were opposed to
Einstein primarily because he is Jew.
prof. Einstein, being Jewish. must OF
necessity be an internationalist and
liberal"
He asserted it will not be good
omen for America if the "jingoism OF
these so-called patriotic imperialists
should prevail"
The scales for and against the
scientist were balanced, numerically at
least, when the American Civil Liberties
Union issued a statement in New York
protesting against the action Of the
State Department in forwarding the
charges against DR. Einstein to Amerl-
can embassies in Europe. The union
also said the charges of the two pa
triotic groups are false.
Action Held Unwise.
"Such a procedure seems to us
wholly unwarranted," the union in
formed Secretary Stimson. Prof.
Einstein's standing, not only in the
world of science, but in politics. is well
known. He is q paciflst and Socialist.
If the State Department keeps record,
as We presume it does, OF foreign
visitors to this country your own rec
ords would show that these charges
are unfounded We are amazed that
the department did not check up the
facts from its own files before dignity
ing such a demand by sending it to
consuls abroad"
Meanwhile, DR.. Einstein, who had ex-
pected to accept a professional post at
Princeton University, admitted he had
never before met such an energetic
rebuff from the beautiful sex"
But aren't they perfectly right.

"Why should one admit to ones pres

oppose every war, except the inevitable
one with his own wife?"
