leagues, tneSe are sparks LOT any
ones fire, and any one of them
may start steady flame which
will bring the Nobel prize to him
who fans the spark.
He still cherishes as one of
"the three good ideas" he's ever had
a paper published more than three
years ago regarding the unified
field theory Of distant parallelism
(can two things happening at
distance from each other happen
simultaneously, two parallels ever
meet, etc., although it was shown
to be improbable.
More recently he published a
paper on quantum mechanics at
the suggestion Of a friend, but he
considers this paper unimportant.
He is working on an important
theory now, not yet complete.
He works, So" said Frau Elm
stein, Sitting in the sun or walk
ing. Not in an off1ce-no."
Time is not important to Elm
stein, except in physics. His life,
according to his closest friends, is
all of piece. 1t does not matter
to him where he lives.
He has the same old friends,
many of whom he has known in
Berlin, Zurich, Cambridge, as well
as in America, and a few we'll
tested new ones. He is the same
Einstein, untouched by fame and
prosperity and glory, as always.
His health is better; that is the
only change. For years he had to
maintain strict diet, but now he
is we'll.
I'VE is in lovely health" says
l. Il Frau Einstein. He never
has felt so lovely as now"
He has not succumbed to air.
planes nor movies nor any bland
ishments of the machine age. 1t
seems to him that in America ma
chimes now control men, but that
machines, once they get control of
them, can set men free.
Society does not tempt him. The
nabobs Of the country have sought
his presence, but he politely has
evaded all but those who interest
him from the standpoint of mind,
not money.
One local society woman vainly
exhausted her powers of persua-
sion. Could Einstein come to din
ner on Monday No he was en-
gagged Could he come then on
Tuesday. No, then, too, he was
sorry to be busy.
Well, surely then Thursday. No,
on Thursday he was going to Mt.
Wilson observatory to look
through the telescope.
But" said she, still hopeful,
perhaps it will rain on Thurs
day. then you can come"
oh, no." said Einstein blitdely.
ut won't rain. Millikan has ar
ranged everything"
AS he sits in the sun he pom
ders many problems beside ply
sizes.
Economics, always a great in
terest, increasingly concern him.
He believes the depression will
end, but not according to the Or
thodox hope.
1t will end. in his opinion, With
the end of capitalism and the es-
adjustment of a better. more So
cialistic order. He hopes the
change will come peacefully.
n
LIE reads the old German econ
L L omists. He finds no con-
temporary economist great, be-
cause each is bound too closely to
his organization.
He follows the political prog
ress of his fatherland infinitely.
Long an anti-Hitlerite, he is not
depressed by Hitler's rise to power.
AS chancellor, he believes that
Hitler will destroy himself that
much sooner.
The recent flareIp over tech
nocracy left him unimpressed, and
he concluded that the technocrats
weren't sure what they were talk
ing about.
His increasing wealth has not
affected Einstein for, his friends
say, he has given it all away. His
life with Frau EinStein is simple,
almost frugal.
He finds the simple life the
good one" says his friend, DR.. P.
S. Epstein.
Except for the Zionist move
ment, to which he contributes
heavily, his giving is individual
and personal.
He supports a number of rela-
tives. He responds to the plight
of the unfortunate to the point
of gullibility.
Even if his heart were not so
soft, EinStein would not be a man
of possessions" said Nine. Lii
PetSchnikoff, with whom he plays
violin duets. He of all peo-
pie I have known is most free"
Therefore, he sits like a god
above u.s.
