Palo Alto, Calif. -UPD- No
bel Prize winner Dr. Ernest
O. Lawrence, 57, inventor of
the atom-smashing cyclotron,
died in Palo Alto hospital
Wednesday night after an op
eration. He died after surgery for
ulcerative colitis, from which
he had been suffering for sev
eral weeks. He entered the
hospital Aug. 12. His condi
tion had not been believed
serious.
At the time of his death,
Lawrence was director of the
Radiation laboratory at the
University of California - at
Berkeley. He won the Nobel
Prize in 1939 for developing
the cyclotron.
Talked With Scientists
Earlier this year, Lawrence
had gone to Geneva for talks
with scientists from the East
and the West on means of de
tecting atomic tests. He had
to leave the talks and return
home because of a bronchial
condition.
Lawrence leaves his wife
Mary. They had six children,
John, Margaret, Mary, Rob
ert, Barbara and Susan.
Lawrence produced a "gad
get" he called the cyclotron
about 1930, when he was a 29-year-old
associate professor at
California.
This "gadget" was to be
come the machine which
sends two billion electron
volts into solid matter separ
ating the millions of minute
particles which form all mass.
During World War II, Law
rence used his million dollar
cyclotron and $350 million
to produce a cyclotron magnet
which separated uranium 235
used in the atom bomb, from
the heavier uranium found
in a natural state. He called
the device the Calutron.
In 1951, he developed a
new television tube capable
of receiving both color and
black and white pictures with
out the use of a converter.
He told friends he developed
the tube almost as a lark at
the prompting of his children.
Lawrence was born in Can
ton, S. D., Aug. 8, 1901.
Lawrence taught at .Yale
before going to the Univer
sity of California in 1928.
He had at least 11 awards
from science organizations all
over the world.
Palo Alto, Calif. (UPD Dr.
Albert M. Snell, physician to
Dr. Ernest O. Lawrence, said
today radiation was "defin
itely not" the cause of Law
rence's death.
"Dr. Lawrence led a very
strenuous life," Snell said.
"He traveled all over the
world in connection with his
atomic research and did as
much work in his lifetime as
five ordinary men."
Snell said Lawrence had
suffered from ulcerative col
itis for some time. It is a
relatively common disease
among overworked businessmen.

clogged with baggage, utensils
from the counter, and people.
I spotted a small fire outside
the plane under us, possibly a
gasoline fire. It looked small.
I and another passenger tried
to break the glass in a window
to get to the flame, but were
unable to do so.
Escape Hatches Opened
We started moving forward.
We got up front and found
two escape hatches had been
opened above our heads.
I saw a woman on the floor
picking up things and putting
them in her purse.
I said, "Lady, I don't know
what you are looking for, but
you had better get out of
here."
We shoved her up and out,
and also another woman. We
were virtually the last ones
out and found ourselves in a
corn field. We gathered about
100 feet away from the plane.
The flames then were shoot
ing about 100 feet into the air.
We sure didn't have much
time to spare.
The whole crowd behaved.
There was a great spirit of
helpfulness. The servicemen
were especially helpful and
there was one colored private
I'd like to thank personally.
Thankful To God
The pilot also did a good
job. We can all be thankful to
God that we survived. It was
really miraculous. I'm glad I
bought that insurance. I've got
five kids at home.
I was bruised a bit. I got
some contusions on both legs,
and am sore around the mid
dle apparently from the seat
belt and have a sore shoul
der.
I expect to leave this noon
for home on another plane.
