Einstein Leaves
Brain to Science
N.J. API )r.
4 I
Albert Einstein, whose ruirh for
knowledge led him to become the
greatest scientist of his age,
died Monday and, in death,
nought to further medical sci
ence.
The 70-year-old physicist, who
revolutionized scientific think- 1
Ing, left his brilliant brain and
lus major body organ* to re- j
search. His body waa cremated,
without funeral service*.
The organ* will be studied by
Princeton hospital, where he
died at 1:15 a m. of a ruptured
aorta the main artery of the
body and hardening of the ar-;
teries.
The brain was left, in accord
ance with Einstein's wishes, to
r>r Harry Zimmerman of the
Monteflore hospital in New York. I
Even in his death wishes, the
gentle, wispy-haired scientist
showed the qualities that lifted
him to the peak of th-* scientific
world a devotion to research
and a disregard for convention.
Mental (Hunt
Einstein, one of history's men
tal giants, hart won acclaim an
the author of the theory of rela
tivity and a leader in the fields
of nuclear fission and electron
ics. His discoveries made the
atom bomb and the electronics
industry possible.
In ill health for a year, he
became sick Wednesday and was
hospitalized two days later. Kven
as his condition grew worse, he
opposed surgery and an autop
sy later proved him correct.
The hospital pathologist, Dr.
Thomas 8. Harvey, said surgery
would not have helped.
A deluge of sympathetic mes
sages poured in from throughout
the world.
President Elsenhower said in
a statement:
"No other man contributed so
much to the vast expansion of
20th Century knowledge. Yet no
other man was more modest in
the possession of the power that
Is knowledge, more sure that
power without wisdom is dead
ly '•
The messages poured in to the
giay .clapboard house which the
little, unpretentious mathemati
cal genius loved to think of as
his haven from the outside world.
Published Field Theory
One of Kinstein.’s last contribu
tions to science came in 15150
when he published the unified
field theory, a monumental math
ematical treatise that stirred
thinkers as few works before it
have done.
It was described as daring and
provocative because it sought to
describe under one cover all the
forces of the universe in a set of
equations.
Einstein, who abhorred vio
lence and lived in a peace of se
clusion, gave science the theoret
ical knowledge from which the
atom bomb w^s developed.
The knowledge traced from his
theory of relativity and held that
matter, regardless of size, is en
ergy. The world received jolting
proof of this in the atomic blasts
over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Einstein’s political views in
later years sent him far afield
of theoretical physics.
He advised witnesses called be
fore congressional investigative
committees that they need not
answer the questions of probers.
He was quick to lend his voice
and pen to causes he considered
righteous. He asked President
Eisenhower to commute the
death sentences of atom spies
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg he-1
cause of "my passionate sense of
aoclal justice and aoclal respon
sibilities.”
Was Professor Emeritus
At. the time of hia d«-ath, the
Nohel Prize-winning scientist
waa professor emeritus at the
Institute for Advanced Study,
meeting place for many famous
scholars.
Einstein was born in Ulm,
Germany, of middle class Jewish
parents.
Einstein’s contributions to the
development of the atomic bomb
were twofold.
Dr. Henry D. Smyth, chairman
of Princeton university's depart
ment of physics and author of
the War Department report on
"Atomic Energy for Military
Purposes" listed them as:
1. "The fundamental idea of
the atom bomb was his . . .”
2. He was among a group of
scientists who requested Alex
ander Bach's, an economist, to
act as liaison man between them
and the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt in 1939 in urging
that research into nuclear fission
be pushed.
