Einstein Silent on Bomb
For Political Reasons
Ry the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
SARANAC LAKE, N. Y. Aug. B.
Prof. Albert Einstein. father of the
theory of relativity, refused to dis
cuss the atomic bomb because OF
military expediency" and possible
political Implications" his secretary
said yesterday.
Miss Helen Dukas said the profess
sor was giving the subject of atom
ism thorough study" but preferred
to "bide his time" fearing that q
statement now might have political
implications, She did not amplify
the term political implications"
Although it can be said that the
professor thoroughly understands
the fundamental science of the
atomic bomb" Miss Dukas stated
military expediency demands that
he remain uncommunicative on the
subject until authorities release de-

ing on an atomic bomb, was de-
stroyed by Allied bombs last March
The disclosure was made at a
news conference which followed the
dropping of the first atomic bomb
by American flyers on Hiroshima,
Japan.
The Allies learned of the exist
ence of the German laboratory just
outside Berlin while the danger of
atomic bombing by the Nazis still
hung over England and perhaps
America as well.
Gen. Marshall and Gen. Arnold
sent a courier from Washington
with oral orders to Gen. Carl A.,

to destroy the laboratory.

Unemployment Total
3O9b Below Estimates,
VINO Official Admits
Ey the Associated Press.


Government predictions around
We day that 100000 persons
would be jobless by now were
high of the mark by at least 80
per cent.
Stating this today, an official Of
the War Manpower Commission said
the agency's estimates made three
months ago for early August had
been "far too pessimistic."
Currently, no more than 1.40O 900
persons who want jobs are without
them, said this official who asked
that his name not be used.
This compares with 100000 un-
employed in June and 100000 in
March.
Despite these increases, the whole
employment picture is much brighter
than we had dared hope it would
be at this time" he said. =
He cited two principal reasons
why WINGS original estimate over
shot the actual August total by
10000:
/. While munitions cutbacks have
been in line with predictions. their
full impact on industry has been
delayed beyond expectations.
2. Labor starved activities such as
agriculture, trade and service in
dustries have absorbed workers re-
leased from war plants to much
greater extent than anticipated.
The delayed effect of cutbacks is
illustrated, the official said, by the
fact that munitions employment has
fallen off by only about 100000
workers since spring. 1t had been
expected to be down about l 400 ,000
The prediction that 10000 per-
sons would be unemployed three
months after We day was made be-
fore Senate committee May IA by
VINO Chairman McNutt.
Mr.. McNutt also predicted at that
time that the number of job seekers
would drop to 100000 by December
as civilian production increased.
But he said this number would climb
to 100000 by next May as result
of deep munitions cutbacks during
the six-month interval.
Despite the change in the August
picture. VINO has not revised its
December and May, 1916, estimates.

added:
I'VE hope the Japanese will listen

If they did so it would allow the

all these armies would have meant

out the area were surrendering by
