Einstein Comments on Celebration. Berlin, Apr. 16 (AP) Albert Einstein today expressed through the Associated Pres his pleasure over the mass meet- ing held in his honor tonight in New York, by the following message to the audience: You meet to celebrate a myth bearing my name. This proves, however, that in our times, amid all the ill-omened striving after power and luxury, there still lives an appreciation for the eternal aims of the human spirit. That makes me happy.
