EINSTEIN MOVED BY WARMTH OF 0. $. WELCOME Famous Professor’s Eyes Are Misty as He Greets Waiting Crowds. BY DUAYE HENNESSY tatted Pre* Staff Correspondent SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Jan. I.—The eyes of Professor Albert Einstein were misty as the meek mannered little man whose theories have intrigued the world stood on an open Ur stage Wednesday and praised the present age for giving recognition to the men who think. There were few in the crowd of 8.000 who understood his soft spoken German, but the human appeal of the man carried his sentiments to • hem and won their hearts. His words were not interpreted. “I am a simple man,” Dr. Einstein began. He paused and shifted nervously from one foot to the other ‘Such a wecome as you give to a man who has only originated a thought to my mind illustrates one *hing, that is, that never before in history has the world so honored a man ” Have Busy Day It was a busy day for Dr and Frau Einstein. Just at dawn newspaper reporters boarded the Belgenland, on which the Einsteins came here from Germany, enroute to the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, Calif There Dr.j Einstein will confer with scientists working out the theories he originated. He himself cares only for the mathematical ride of the work. The Herr Professor was still in bed when, the newspapermen arrived, but he obligingly hurried to makean appearance in the ship’s loungs. The battle between reporters and cameramen started immediately. rn he professor sat in an arm chair while his. wife, ever smiling and making friends, got the interview started, sorting a question from the many asked in quick succession, "Do you think man ever can reach another planet?” "Explain relativity in a few words.” ‘ls Europe approaching war?” In a*side remark to his wife in German, Dr. Einstein smiled and raid: It would take a whole library to answer these fellows.” But here are some of his views: Not a Politician Is Europe approaching war?” Einstein was asked The pacifist replied: “This is a time for action, not for waiting.” "How are you feeling?” "Fine, until now,” he grinned. "Have you any new announcements to make?” "I am not a politician I can not say something new every day.” "Are you going to engage in any new work?” was another question. "Do you mean work already born or yet to be born?” he countered. "Will man be able to travel to another planet?” “I do not know who is on the other planet.” # Before speaking. Dr. Einstein was greeted by Mayor Harry C. Clark and two local rabbis, one of whom spoke in German. The Associated Jewish Societies of San Diego presented the professor with a gold medal

BLIZZARD ADDS DIN , TO CHICAGO FROLIC

Hilarious Welcome as Ever Extended by City Given to New Year. By United Frets CHICAGO, Jan. I.—A shrieking ing wind that carried in a blizzard from the western prairies swirled between Chicago's skyscrapers today, adding to the din, and the discomfort, of thousands who gave 1931 as hilarious a welcome as the city ever extended to anew year. Old 1930, the year of depression, was forgotten entirely by the optimistic citizens who thronged the loop in bu ness and formal dress; by the thousands who paid from $5 to S3O a plate for midnight dinners in fashionable hotels; by the hundreds who knelt in prayer in the city’s churches; by everyone, perhaps, except the jobless, who warmed themselves with newspapers on the lower street levels or begged dimes from the merrymakers. At midnight a deafening din was raised throughout the city. State street was packed with shouting humanity. Some of the merrymakers staggered. Little attention was paid to the fact that it was 10 above zero and getting colder. Some, in fact, did not appear even to realize that it was cold at all. Few Dry Arrests Prohibition agents were stationed in all hotel dining rooms and made unannounced visits to the better known night clubs, but in few instances did they interfere with the celebration. When they did interfere, it was to give warnings and few arrests, none important, were made. In the hotels, guests were warned to keep bottles out of sight and managers reported they had no difficulties either with officers or customers. One hotel refused to serve “setups,” but delivered ice cold ginger ale to the table of any guest who asked for it. While the din was at its height, with people shouting, auto sirens blowing, and steamboats in the Chicago river adding to the noise, a comparatively small group of 300 persons knelt in prayer in the First Methodist church, which is located on the main floor of a skyscraper m the heart of the loop. “Need we care for the frantic mirth going on outside tonight,” said the Rev. John Thompson to his congregation. "We, gathered here in the peaceful atmosphere of this house oi prayer can pity those frenzied worldlings who in their lolly, doubtless pity us.” Drowns Depression in Gin Although the depression of the passing year was forgotten in most places, it was recalled, humorously, at the Turkish village, a famous Clark street restaurant where two years ago a double murder was committed. As the clock struck 12, one reveler there produced a rag doll labeled Old Man Depression, and, with much solemnity, drowned it in a tub of gin. Traffic, throughout the city, was heavy. Many accidents were reported. most of them minor. Shortly before midnight an automobile plowed into a group of pedestrians waiting for a street car. Two men were killed, two others injured. The two deaths brought the total automobile fatalities in Cook county in 1930 to 1,335, a record of 114 more than in 1929. A policeman saved the driver of

! the death car from mob violence. A ; woman and a 12-year-old boy were ■ run down and killed by motorists 1 earlier in the evening. CLASH ON AUTO TAGS Kentucky and Indiana Feud Flares Again. Upon request of Secretary of i State Frank Mayr Jr. and James Carpenter, chief of the automobile : license plate division of Mayr’s office, Governor Harry G. Leslie has taken a hand in trying to settle the Indiana-Kentucky license plate feud, which has flared anew. Wednesday, following a conference in his office with Mayr and Carpenter, Governor Leslie tele- , phoned Governor Flem D. Sampson of Kentucky regarding the matter. | Governor Sampson promised to I take up the question with Walter Glenn, Kentucky tax commisioner, ! and see if reciprocal relations can not be re-established. Terre Haute truckmen have complained to Carpenter that they are being harassed and threatened by officers on Kentucky highways, who declare they must purchase Kenj tucky truck plates to travel there.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FRANCE, ITALY NAVAL BUILDING RACEFORESEEN Expiration of Truce on Arms May Result In Warlike Activities. BY RALPH HE IN ZEN. CnitH Pres* Staff Correspondent PARIS. Jan 1. Expiration Wednesday of the brief FrancoItalian naval construction trace was regarded as the beginning of an armaments race between these two powers, long at loggerheads over sea power. The ministry of marine announced the truce now is definitely considered expired, and that France had regained complete liberty of •action, The government intends laying keels of warships early in the new year, in accordance with credits already voted. Truce Has Expired This will mean that some 40,000 tons of warships will be started almost forthwith. As soon as parliament reconvenes, the ministry will present a project to proceed with further portion of France’s building program, including the much discussed “pocket” battleship to be built in answer to Germany’s electrically welded cruiser. The Franco-Italian naval truce dating from September automatically expired Wednesday unless the government made representatives to have it prolonged. Neither did. New Warships Planned Advices from a neutral source indicated that Italy desired to continue the building holiday, but the Italian government failed to make overtures, and allowed the truce to lapse. Meanwhile, the ministry of marine here declared that France could not delay construction further without a vote of parliament, since the law granting the naval credits called for construction to start within a year. j AMUSEMENTS
