A fund which will make it possible for Prof. Albert Einstein to maintain a competent collaborator in his scientific research was voted on Wednesday by the directors of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation at a meeting in the home of Dave Hennen Morris, chairman of the board. The foundation, for which an initial endowment of $5,000,000 was left by Mrs. Walter Graeme Ladd of Far Hills, N. J., was created last April for the purpose of furthering the study of biology, sociology and other sciences.
Last summer while on a visit to Germany, Mr. Morris spent two hours with Dr. Einstein, who told him of the difficulty of financing the research in which he was engaged. The exact sum that was voted by the board for this purpose on Wednesday was not disclosed.
