SCIENTIST DIES AT 76
Einstein Leaves Brain
For Medical Research
PRINCETON, N.J., April IB -
Dr. Albert Einstein, whose search
for knowledge led him to become
the greatest scientist of his age.
died today and, in death sought to
further medical science
The 76-year-old physicist, who
revolutionized scientific thinking,
left his brilliant brain and his
major body organs to research. His
body was cremated, without funeral
services.
The organs will be studied by
Princeton Hospital, where he died
at 1:15 am of a ruptured aorta-
the main artery of the body—and
hardening of the arteries.
The brain was left, in accordance
with Einstein’s wishes, to Dr Har-
ry Zimmerman of the Montefiore
Hospital in New York.
President Eisenhower said in a
statement:
“No other man contributed so
much to the vast expansion of
Twentieth Century knowledge. Yet
no other man was more modest in

The knowledge was traced from
his theory of relativity and held
that matter, regardless of size, is
energy. 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 theo-
retical physics.
He advised witnesses called be-
fore congressional investigative
committees that they need not an-
swer the questions of probers.
He was quick to lend his voice
and pen to causes he considered
righteous. He asked President Ei-
senhower to commute the death
sentences of atom spies Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg because of “my
passionate sense of social justice
and social responsibilities.''
Einstein spoke out against the
Nazi tyranny that engulfed Ger-

March 14, 1879, and forced him
to flee for his life in the 1930s.
