MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, October 39, 19S8 I In the Day's News 1 By FRANK JENKINS A few days back, Boris Pas ternak, a Soviet writer living in Russia, was awarded the Nobel literature prize, the most distinguished award that can come to a writing person. Was his government proud of him? It was not. The Moscow Literary Gazette (communist dominated) denounced the award as a "provocative at tempt of international reac tion to heat up the cold war." It said his best-selling novel, Dr. Zhivago, is an "artisti cally squalid, malicious work, hypocritical and imbued with mendacity." The Union of Soviet Writ ers (communist dominated) expelled him for "conduct unbecoming the calling of a Soviet Writer" and asserted that he had betrayed the So viet people." Hmmmmmmmm. One can't help wonder ing how the government of the Soviet Union (which is composed of communists) feels about the unprecedent ed award of a SECOND No bel prize to three Russian physicists who discovered and developed what is known as the "C h e r e n k o v effect," which is believed to have been put to practical use in Russia's Sputniks. I think we know. Moscow will be prouder than Punch of it. Moscow ballyhoos whatever is GOOD for communism. It belabors and bedevils whatever seems to be BAD for communism. THAT gets us back to Paster nak. His prize-winning Dr. Zhi vago is a novel describing approximately four decades of Russian life-with particu lar emphasis on the years that have elapsed since the Rus sian revolution, as a result of which the communists took over. In his book he wrote of communist Russia realisti . cally and reflectively, de scribing the bad along with the good. His offense lies in writing book that discloses commu nism for what it is-not what the communists CLAIM IT IS. A WORD in conclusion. What are the Nobel prizes? There are five of them: 1. For the most important discovery or invention in the field of physics. 2. In the field of chemistry. 3. In physiology or medi cine. 4. For the most distinguish ed literary work of an ideal istic nature. 5. For the most effective work in the interest of inter national peace. The average value of the prizes is about $40,000. Those for physics and chemistry are awarded by the Royal Acad emy of Science in Stockholm, the prize for medicine by the Caroline Institute", which is the faculty of medicine in Stockholm and the peace prize by a committee of five elected by the Norwegian parliament. rpHE moiey, which comes from the interest on an en dowment of about 89,000,000, was provided by a Swede, Alfred Bernhardt Nobel, who invented dynamite, among other things. He lived and worked in the last century, and his inventions and the factories he set up to produce them made him one of the richest men in the world in day.
