Last week, Albert Einstein stepped ashore at San Pedro, Calif.; Auguste Piccard stepped ashore at Manhattan. While Professor Piccard allowed his twin brother to talk about left-handed twins (see p. 23), the balance of scientific attention tilted to Professor Einstein. For an hour before debarking he had been scowling through field glasses at U. S. warships in San Pedro Harbor. They annoyed him, made him exclaim: "More than ever before, I wish on this visit to promote international goodwill." German-American inter-relations is the subject of an international radio broadcast which he will make Jan. 23 for Philadelphia...
Before sailing Professor Piccard told the Press some new things about himself. He had been, the New York Times correspondent wirelessed, "Dr. Einstein's leading pupil when the latter taught at the University of Zurich, and at that time Dr. Einstein asked his collaboration in carrying on experiments in making instruments for measurements with precision of radio-activity and electromagnetism in liquids. The instruments which Professor Einstein used were invented by Professor Piccard, and Dr. Einstein has cabled seeking an appointment with him on the Pacific Coast. Professor Piccard [born 1884 at Basle, Switzerland] was also...
After hearing of the despatch Professor Piccard check-reined Pegasus, said that he merely hoped to meet Dr. Einstein, among other eminent scientists...
Laureate Millikan: "No controversy!" Pulsating Universe. While cheerful Professor Albert Einstein steamed through the Panama Canal last week on his way to California Institute of Technology, Caltech's optimistic cosmologists were at Atlantic City-Dr. Millikan fighting for his cosmic ray theory (see above). Dr. Richard Chace Tolman presenting a reasonable picture of a pulsating universe. It is true, reasoned Dr. Tolman, that the stars are blazing into heat & light, that as far as we can see the universe is expanding, and some eon may become dull chaos, as the Cambridge physicists reason. But, if we use Einsteinian concepts...

Reason why so many parents name their sons "Mary" is of course that by this means they place him under the spiritual protection of the Virgin. From Bremerhaven sailed Professor Albert Einstein & wife, bound for California's Institute of Technology. Said he, leaving Berlin: "That insignificant, irritable visa incident will not spoil the pleasure of the voyage. . . . It's all forgotten. The trouble with hearings of that kind is that you don't realize until some time has passed...
