   >>>>>>First I have to tell you the background   
   >>>>>>of how Einstein and I became acquainted.   
   >>>>>>At the time of Pearl Harbor, I was a re-   
   >>>>>>search chemist in the U. S. Department   
   >>>>>>of Agriculture. Soon after that, I applied   
   >>>>>>for a commission in the Navy. After a   
   >>>>>>long drawn-out fight with the Navy,

   >>>>>>fight, and received my commission as a   
   >>>>>>full lieutenant (equivalent to a captain   
   >>>>>>in the Army) on September 2, 1942.   
   >>>>>>After that it took more than a month until   
   >>>>>>I located a billet in the Bureau of Ord-   
   >>>>>>nance and was called in for active duty.   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>Mr. Clark, following Gamow’s book,   
   >>>>>>wrote about the “Division of High Ex-   
   >>>>>>plosives” in the Bureau of Ordnance,   
   >>>>>>but there was no such thing. The Bureau   
   >>>>>>had a “Research and Development Divi-   
   >>>>>>sion (Re),"" the ision had a section   
   >>>>>>called “Ammunition and Explosives   
   >>>>>>(Re2)", and the section had a subsec-   
   >>>>>>tion called “High Explosives and Propel-   
   >>>>>>lants (Re2c)."” I was assigned to Re2c.   
   >>>>>>It had two other reserve officers in it   
   >>>>>>when I joined, and we divided the work   
   >>>>>>among ourselves. One became head of   
   >>>>>>propellant research, I became head of   
   >>>>>>high explosives research, and the third,   
   >>>>>>who was a lieutenant j.g., became my   
   >>>>>>assistant and deputy. I was, on the basis   
   >>>>>>of my broad experience in the field, ex-   
   >>>>>>cellently qualified for my assignment. I   
   >>>>>>knew the names of two high explosives:   
   >>>>>>TNT and dynamite. With that knowl-   
   >>>>>>edge, I became head of high explosives   
   >>>>>>research and development for the world’s   
   >>>>>>largest Navy!   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>But I was young and learned fast;   
   >>>>>>furthermore, the staff kept on growing as.   
   >>>>>>the war progressed. I acquired two   
   >>>>>>groups of civilian scientists; one headed   
   >>>>>>by one of the speakers at this meeting,   
   >>>>>>Raymond J. Seeger; another of tonight's   
   >>>>>>speakers, Harry Polachek, was in this   
   >>>>>>group; the other group was headed by   
   >>>>>>Gregory Hartmann, who eventually be-   
   >>>>>>came Technical Director of the post-   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>permission to visit him in Princeton. The   
   >>>>>>gracious consent came by return mail.   
   >>>>>>The visit took place on May 16. After   
   >>>>>>the pleasant preliminaries, I asked Ein-   
   >>>>>>stein whether he would be willing to be-   
   >>>>>>come a consultant for the Navy in general,   
   >>>>>>and for me, in the field of high explo-   
   >>>>>>sives research, in particular. Einstein was   
   >>>>>>tremendously pleased about the offer,   
   >>>>>>and very happily gave his consent. He   
   >>>>>>felt very bad about being neglected. He   
   >>>>>>had not been approached by anyone to   
   >>>>>>do any war work since the United States   
   >>>>>>entered the war. He said to me, “People   
   >>>>>>think that I am interested only in theory,   
   >>>>>>and not in anything practical. This is not   
   >>>>>>true. I was working in the Patent Office   
   >>>>>>in Zurich, and I participated in the de-   
   >>>>>>velopment of many inventions. The gyro-   
   >>>>>>scope too.”’ I said, “That's fine. You are   
   >>>>>>hired.”   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>Here is a short explaination of why they hired Albert Einstein:   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>" Calvert served on the Jack under Lt. Comdr. Tommy Dykers, and here   
   >>>>>is how he describes his sub’s first experience with the Mark 6   
   >>>>>exploder: “We worked into an excellent position and fired three   
   >>>>>torpedoes—the Jack ’s first war shots of her career. Short of the   
   >>>>>predicted torpedo run time, we heard a tremendous explosion. That   
   >>>>>should finish him, I thought.   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>“‘ Damn those exploders … damn them all to hell! ’ said Dykers as he   
   >>>>>looked through the scope.   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>“‘The first torpedo prematured … just before it got to the MOT [middle   
   >>>>>of the target] … and I don’t know whether the other two passed under   
   >>>>>without exploding, or missed. Son of a bitch from Baghdad !’ came the   
   >>>>>bitter exclamation from the skipper.” (Despite continuing torpedo   
   >>>>>trouble, Jack ’s later forays were considerably more successful.)"

   >>>>>Einstein soved the problem...   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>   
   >>>>>"If I were asked to state what specific   
   >>>>>contributions were made by Einstein to   
   >>>>>our high explosives research, I would   
   >>>>>have to say this. New and more effec-   
   >>>>>tive high explosives were developed dur-   
   >>>>>ing the war, and they were used by the   
   >>>>>Navy and the Army (which then included   
   >>>>>the Air Force) against Germany, Japan   
   >>>>>and their allies. (I found out later that at   
   >>>>>least the underwater explosives, possibly   
   >>>>>others, were also used in the Korean and   
   >>>>>the Vietnam War.) But these develop-   
   >>>>>ments were the results of the efforts of
