From Robert Eisler Paris, 9 February 1926 The Austrian authorities have declared that they will not communicate with him in Paris and that they are lodging a complaint against him. An action by Bavarian scholars against him has also been mentioned, occasioned by an article in the Vossische Zeitung referring to AE’s declaration. Eisler’s position in Paris is untenable. Is seeking assis- tance from the Carnegie Peace Foundation or something similar, since he has moved permanently to Paris and needs financial support to continue his research. ALS. [43 616]. 308. From Walter Gropius [Dessau,] 9 February 1926 Has heard of AE’s lecture in Paris.

Gustav Mie requests half an assistant’s salary for Dr. Frankenberger, so that they may continue research on the anomalous dispersion of water waves of ca. 0.5 m wave length, and 1,000 M for an improved, shorter wavelength galvanometer. Christian Füchtbauer requests that he be allowed to use an existing diffu- sion pump made of quartz glass for investigation of absorption lines. Wilhelm Wien still needs 1,000 M for the new magnet and attachments. Laue informs that there is currently 2,500 M available, with an additional 250 M arriving in March. TLS. [40 157]. 310.
