Described as an address of importance unprecedented in the Truman career, the speech will precede a Presidential review of the 47 dogs of war the Navy has assembled in New York in observance of the first peacetime Navy Day since Oct. 27, 1941.

Although White House spokesmen told reporters yesterday that the speech would deal with foreign policy and would be "the most important address since the President took office," they were silent on details. But from Sidnev Hillman, CIO- Theory: PAC chief, came more than a hint OJfiH.il V. S.

26 (U.R). Prof. Albert Einstein warned today that an atomic war might kill two-thirds of the earth's 2,000,000,000 inhabitants, and he urged strongly that the secret of the bomb be withheld from the United Nations Organization and especially from Russia, until a World Government can be established, Eleanor Roosevelt present in the New York Navy Yard in Brooklyn. On all sides there was cooperation to make today the most momentous Navy Day in history. Even the Weather Bureau did its bit, predicting a typical brisk autumn day.

That was the prospect as dusk settled last evening upon the Hudson and its brooding warship armada. Slicked up to meet their chief, the ships stretched from 60th where the heavy cruiser Macon swung at her anchor chains, up midstream seven miles jecture that Truman's 25-minute speech also will deal with the future of the atom bomb that he must speak against a background of atom bomb problems in any address dealing with foreign relations. But while Washington speculated, New York went jubilantly about its plans for today's triumphant climax of a week during which it has played host to units of the mightiest fighting sea force in the history of the world. To Be Full Day. It will be a full day, filled with spectacular features the Presi- Fleet to Stir Jersey Jam New York won't be observing Navy Day alone today.

Jersey police predicted last night that 500,000 persons will assemble along a four-mile Hudson shoreline, from Weehawken to North Bergen, to watch the review. For one thing, the Jerseyites won't have the sun in their eyes. The eminent physicist, in an article in the November issue of the Atlantic Monthly, advocated that control of atomic energy be guarded scupulously by the States until such time as it can be entrusted to a proposed world government. "I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atom bomb," Einstein said in an article written in collaboration with Raymond Swing. 'Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth might be killed, but enough men capable of thinking and enough books would be left to start again, and civilization could be restored."

The Nobel Prize winner, whose formula led to the concept that atomic energy could be utilized, said he did not consider himself the father of atomic science.
