TIME should hang its head in shame for the smearing article on Dr. Albert Einstein in its Nov. 22 issue. I feel sure there are millions of Americans who agree with me in objecting to your interpretation of his statement "I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances." A man who so keenly feels his responsibility to mankind is certainly not to be condemned for his desire for more independence...
TIME seems to imply that because Dr. Einstein is allowed to criticize the Government, enjoy independence, and (horror of horrors) work with a security risk, he should show his gratitude by not denouncing something which he thinks is wrong. Just what does freedom mean...
...Albert Einstein, physicist, mathematician, cosmologist and grandfather of atomic energy, deplores the security system that the U.S. Government has established to cope with the atomic age. Last week, in a letter to the Reporter magazine, Professor Einstein wrote: "If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances...
Since he came to the U.S. in 1933 as a voluntary exile from Nazi Germany, Albert Einstein has enjoyed independence and freedom of inquiry at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study.

Robert Oppenheimer, who was recently elected to a new term as head of the institute despite the fact that the U.S. Government reluctantly removed his clearance to classified atomic energy documents. In his statement last week (which was promptly used for Communist propaganda), Scientist Einstein...

Mathematician Von Neumann,* a Budapest-born naturalized American, has been a professor at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study for 21 years, and is a close friend of Drs. Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. He and his unique theories and formulas are the talk of economists and mathematicians the world over...
