From Wissenschaftliches Korrespondenzbüro “Akademia” [Heidelberg,] 5 November 1928 Their service supplies information on science to the public media from scientists them- selves, and not by way of professional journalists. Solicits news on scientific results and on works that may interest the public. TLS. [45 371]. 738. From Otto Blumenthal Berlin, 6 November 1928 Informs the editors and the publisher that he only accidentally learned about Brouwer’s message to them (Doc. 303). Requests that they not reply to Brouwer before first receiv- ing Blumenthal’s report on these developments, which will be sent in a few days. TLS. [13 151]. 739. From K. Böhm Klotzsche-Königswald, 6 November 1928 Asks about the observed redshift of extragalactic star systems, which may be caused by other factors than the Doppler effect: curvature of space or gravitational redshift. To have a decisive proof of general relativity, proposes experiments with a flywheel to show the relative character of rotation. ALS. [25 034]. 740. From Martha Lasker [Berlin,] 6 November 1928 Requests AE’s opinion on Emanuel Lasker. A. Moszkowski has already replied. Intends to give the answers to Lasker for his sixtieth birthday, to demonstrate to him that he has not become an orphan after losing his brother and best friend. ALS. [47 355]. 741. From Georg Schubert Berlin, 6 November 1928 On behalf of the scientific section of Pathé-News, New York, asks for permission to take film shots of AE.

From Robert Weltsch Berlin-Grunewald, 8 November 1928 Hugo Bergmann sent him a sixty-page single-spaced manuscript of Bergmann 1929 for possible publication. De Gruyter declined, Springer considered it too short for a book, and forwarded it to A. Berliner to be published in Die Naturwissenschaften. Publication is important to Bergmann because he starts his first semester at Hebrew University. Pro- poses that AE recommend it to Springer or Berliner. TLS. [45 546]. 747.
