I am a little perturbed by news or rumors regarding some rift in the ECAS, or something of that sort. Is there anything that can properly be told me---I am giving everything I have for the work of the Committee, and perhaps deserve to know a thing of such imprtance; hoiever, you are the best judge of that. The work out here is going very well, I would say, and it is all snow-balling (leave it to North Dakota to evoke such a figure of speech out of me). People are more and more interested, and not less and less. How I wish I could be of more help, somehow. What I think we need now throughout the nation is a determined drive for financial support, not merely by letter, but by personal appeal of thousands of scientists to thousands of people with real money. Personal visits on a grand scale. Surely, men like Urey could approach the big boys and get money from them... or am I ever so naive in this wilderness of snow. | I am a little perturbed by news or rumors regarding some rift in the ECAS, or something of that sort.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS NORTH DAKOTA STATE COLLEGE FARGO. NORTH DAKOTA

Miss Mary E. Ray Room 28, 90 Nassau St; Princeton, N.J.
Dear Miss Ray:
I had expected to see you late this month, and I am on the program at the Physical society Meeting; but am not going---I don't know, too far, and there are talks scheduled here; probably they are more important than a ten minute address before a bunch of big-shots---still I had wanted to see you and Dr. Einstein. Well. I have 13 talks awaiting me for the next 6 weeks. And I could use about 5000 more pamphlets.
I am a little perturbed by news or rumors regarding some rift in the ECAS, or something of that sort. Is there anything that can properly be told me---I am giving everything I have for the work of the Committee, and perhaps deserve to know a thing of such imprtance; hoiever, you are the best judge of that. The work out here is going very well, I would say, and it is all snow-balling (leave it to North Dakota to evoke such a figure of speech out of me).

What I think we need now throughout the nation is a determined drive for financial support, not merely by letter, but by personal appeal of thousands of scientists to thousands of people with real money.

Do you suppose there is somehwere a photograph for me signed by Dr. Einstein, and another, of you---do you suppose?
But be that as it may, I'll take all the pamphlets I can get.
