From Seitaro Suzuki Fukuoka, 11 May 1928 Sends his manuscript “The Existence of the Upper Limit of Temperature and a New Ra- diation Formula” for opinion and, if acceptable, for forwarding it to the Zeitschrift für Physik. Has earlier sent a manuscript “On the Thermo-Dissociation of Atom-Nuclei.” ALS. [25 294]. 543. From Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft Berlin, 12 May 1928 Diploma of honorary membership. DIPL. [65 047.1]. 544. From Albert Stein Berlin, 13 May 1928 Although a physician by profession, he had to change his career for financial reasons. Is a technical leader of a small metalware factory, but intends to return to science. Requests a conversation and advice. ALS. [48 488]. 545. To Emil J. Gumbel [Berlin,] 14 May 1928 The chosen track proved to be correct, but fears that Gumbel has passed the upper age limit for the stipend, and the responsible men take rules literally. TLSX. [46 512]. 546. To Carl B. Hess [Berlin,] 14 May 1928 In reply to Abs. 525, even though the institute in Jerusalem bears the name “university,” and may later indeed become one, a young man cannot now pursue his studies there. He should continue them in the United States. TLC. [46 678]. 547. From Leo Kohn London, 14 May 1928 Sends the agenda of sessions of academic council and BOGHU, as well as documents to be discussed there. Prepares German translations of most important documents. Will inform on the question of E. Landau, A. Fodor, and S. Brodetsky. ALS. [36 1025]. 548. From Werner Stephan Berlin, 14 May 1928 On behalf of O. Weigert, now on holiday and then participating in the Eleventh Interna- tional Labour Conference in Geneva, replies to AE’s letter (Abs. 507). The Committee for Intellectual Workers of the International Labour Office will be announced in October, so the nomination of a second representative is not urgent. After having returned from Geneva, Weigert will open new discussions and will keep AE informed. TLS. [46 407]. 549. From Leo Kohn London, 15 May 1928 Upon Ch. Weizmann’s request, sends copy and German translation of a letter by J. L. Magnes to Weizmann, together with a translation of an abstract of E. Landau’s letter to J. L. Magnes. TLS. [36 1026]. 550. From Johannes Otto Bleicherode, 15 May 1928 In Abs. 183, he predicted strong earthquakes between October 1927 and January 1928. Because his forecasts turned out to be correct, asks whether the letter reached AE. During the earthquake of December 1927 in Rome, a phenomenon was observed that confirms his assumption regarding the causes of earthquakes. Then he did not mention the connection with the daily rotation of the Earth, which is mostly of dynamo-electric and electromagnetic nature. ALS. [47 789]. 551. From Albert Dufour-Feronce Geneva, 16 May 1928 In reply to Abs. 538, repeats his good wishes for convalescence. Sorry to miss AE at the meetings of the ICIC because he appreciates AE not only as a scientist, but also as a man. H. A. Krüss may represent him of course in the meetings of IIIC steering committee and in the central commission, but this does not entail a permanent arrangement. TLS. [34 992].
