Nikola Tesla FBI Files - Page 47

(bruce Though in Alaska temporarily working on a military contract, I still consider myself(" resident, hence it is to you that I wil les a 1 During days at College, I became interepperi in a fascinating Ongth physicisty Nicolai Tesla, Proffessor Tesla emigratoi pq this country in the trentine, I Welieve, and did some of his most originellere. Tosla had a peculiar bent of mind,' in his younger days he was often called had selcubist, and did not publish extensively when he came to the US. Most of the oxtant felnury raterial is in untranslated Czech. Tesla was, however, an extensive note saker. Itx thought it strange that upon his death, none of his notes fr ais American perlod eng Bear Senator 20 Jun 1973 anbeared. Upon discussing this with a frient, I wa: informed that all of r. Tesla's rates were confiscated by the FRI. I canrot conceive how these nobes on physics and electricity can in any way endanger the national safety. It seems that Mr. Hoover in his zeal, had confiscated material whose only sin was a radical approach to science. There is indication that mue el bofessor Tesla's later work concerned very novel approach to time theory. Needless to say, it has been radical approaches to physics that have been our greatest scientific advances ir modern times, viz. Eingbein, Heisenberg, et al. was wondering if your office might be able to determine if these papers are still extant, and if so, see to it that the public has access to them, It would be a shame to see all of Nicolai. Teslas work to have been in vain. Please excuse my typire, in all the thousands of words I typed trying to get a liberal education, I never did master the typewriter.
