World Honors Memory of Dr. Einstein

Dr. Einstein, the Jewish genius
whose settlement in this country,
away from the Nazis, brought the
world's greatest scientist to our
shore, assured the development of
the atomic and nuclear energies in
the United States. He first brought
the facts about the atomic bomb to
President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
developed it with a sick heart, always
having been a pacifist. The informa-
tion he gave to the late President
Roosevelt set off activities for atomic
and nuclear research and develop-.
ments in this country.

He lived in a modest home off the
campus of Princeton University,
Princeton, N. J. He is shown here:
