Professor Albert Einstein has refused to accept a gift from the West Berlin City Assembly, the Daily Express reports here today from Berlin.

Asserting that the world famous scientist “has made it clear that he wants nothing more to do with Berlin, where he was born 76 years ago,” the Daily Express says that the parcel was returned with the words “not accepted” written across it.
