In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS A few days back, Boris Paster nak, a Soviet writer living in Rus sia, was awarded the Nobel liter ature prize, the most distinguished award that can come to a writing person. Was his government proud of him? : It was not. The Moscow Liter ary Gazette (communist dominat ed) denounced the award as a "provocative attempt of interna tional reaction to heat up the cold war." It said his best-selling nov el, Dr. Zhivago, is an artistically squalid, malicious work, hypocriti cal and imbued with mendacity." The Union of Soviet Writers 'communist dominated) expelled him for "conduct unbecoming the calling of a Soviet Writer" and asserted that he had betrayed the Soviet people." Hmmmmmmmm. One can't help wondering how the government of the Soviet Un ion (which is composed of com munists) feels this morning about the unprecedented award of a SEC OND Nobel prize to three Russian physicists who discovered and de veloped what is known as the "Cherenkov effect," which is be lieved to have been put to prac tical use in Russia's Sputniks. I think we know. Moscow will be prouder than , Punch of it. Moscow ballyhoos whatever is GOOD for commu nism. It belabors and bedevils whatever seems to be BAD for communism. That gets us back to Pasternak. His prize-winning Dr. Zhivago is a novel describing approximately four decades of Russian life with particular emphasis on the four decades that have elapsed since the Russian revolution, as a result of which the communists took over. In the book, he wrote of commu nist Russia realistically and re flectively, describing the bad along with the good. His offense lies in writing a book that discloses communism for what it is not what the commu nists CLAIM IT IS. How did Dr. Zhivago get pub lished? It was published by an Italian. It has since been published in 18 countries but NOT in Russia. There is considerable doubt as to (Continued on Page 4) 3 Red Scientists Win Nobel Prize STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -Three Soviet scientists won the 1958 Nobel Prize in Physics today for building a better atomic mousetrap. One of their traps a cosmic ray counter is now circling the globe in Sputnik I. Others are in nuclear laboratories around the world. The winners are P. A. Cheren kov, I. M. Frank and Igor E. Tamm, all Moscow professors. They were cited jointly by the Royal Swedish Academy "for the discovery and interpretation of the Cherenkov effect," the basis of a novel cosmic ray counter. The 1958 chemistry prize was awarded to Dr. Frederick Sanger, 40-year-old British biochemist, for pioneer work on the molecular Pupils Varn KU Student City police reported that a KUHS student was beaten up in a school hallway Monday afternoon by a fellow student who accused him of "squealing to the cops." The victim received a vicious punch in the nose, cut lips, and bruises. In addition, four other stu dents threatened him with further violence, police said. The assailant had accused his victim of reporting acts of vandal ism to police during the Friday night football game. The police bulletin revealed no such reports. The beating occurred at 1:10 p.m. Monday in the school, offi cers said. Police also reported a short lived escape engineered by Wilbur Eggsman Jr., 27, Chfloquin, who 'fled the Chiloquin jail Friday night but was arrested on a down town street in Klamath Falls at 1:30 p.m. Monday. These thefts were reported: A diamond ring, valued at $600, which Harold F. Fredericksen, 325 South Eleventh Street, thought was stolen Sunday; a wallet containing $110, which Roy McGuire of The Dalles said was stolen from his hotel room Saturday afternoon; two 30-30 rifles, one stolen from a car owned by Clifford Kenyon, 703 Mitchell Street, parked near Swan Lake, and the other stolen from Schubert's Gun Service, 719 Klam ath Avenue, and four hubcaps stol en from two cars. Dulles Claims Red Chinese Kill Civilians WASHINGTON (AP) - Secre tary of State Dulles today ac cused Red China of "promiscuous killing," primarily of civilians, with its sporadic shelling of Quemoy. Dulles also told a news confer ence that Russia's sudden rejec tion of a proposed one-year sus pension of atomic tests may be due to discovery by Moscow that it is considerably behind the Unit ed States in nuclear weapons techniques. Russia's attitude, he said, "dims the chances of success" of test ban negotiations opening at Gene va Friday. The United States, however, is willing to go through with the sus pension of testing if the Russians do not explode nuclear devices after Friday. Dulles pictured the every-other- day style of Red Chinese attack on Quemoy as a formula invented by the Chinese Communists to save face since their failure to blockade the island. The Communists found out dur ing seven weeks of intensive shell ing, he said, that they were un able to halt delivery of supplies. Therefore, he said, in order to save face the Communists said they would let the Nationalists send in supplies everyother day and thereby created the appear ance of allowing something which was going to happen anyway.

(AP) One miner was rescued alive Tuesday from a blast-shattered coal mine where 17 men were trapped and officials said they were confident at least six others were alive. Officials said three other men, alive and safe, had been located by rescuers but had not been brought from the mine. They added that they had rea son to believe at least three oth ers were safe, but the rescuers had not reached them, Artie Humphryes of Craigsville was led from the workings, ap parently unharmed, shortly be fore 4 p.m. (EST).

Remaining to De awarded this year are the prizes for medicine and physiology and the Nobel Peace Prize. The awards are made from a fund set up under the will of Sweden's Al fred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. The award to the Russian sci entists posed a dilemma for So viet leaders angered by the award last week of the 1958 Nobel Prize in Literature to another Russian, poet-novelist Boris Pasternak. The dilemma is this: Pasternak is the author of "Doc tor Zhivago," a novel critical of communism. Never published in the Soviet Union, it is a best-seller in the West. The Soviet press has demanded that Pasternak reject the award and his $41,420 cash prize. The Red line is that Nobel authorities were motivated by pol itics and named him "in the inter ests of fanning the cold war." Only today, the Russians announced ex pulsion of Pasternak from the So viet Writers Union. On the other hand, Cherenkov, Frank and Tamm have long been rated among the elite of Russian atomic science. They are the first Soviet nuclear scientists ever to receive a Nobel citation. And the Kremlin likes recognition of So viet scientific achievements. A cry of politics in this case would be out of character. But could the scientists go to Stockholm to col lect their $41,420 Dec. 12 if Pas ternak is kept at home? In layman's language, the cos mic ray counter developed from the Cherenkov effect amounts to a highly efficient trap for elusive subatomic particles. The Royal Swedish Academy said that "without the use of Cherenkov detectors, the discov ery of the antiproton which was made in Berkeley (Calif.) in 1955 would scarcely have been possi ble." Atomic counters based on the Cherenkov effect are used today in laboratories all over the world to check on the behavior of high energy particles. They supply precise lniormation on the particles' charges, velocity and direction. That is Just what the counter does in Sputnik III. Three American scientists were reported to be top candidates for the 1958 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology. Reports circulating in scientific circles said the prospective win ners are Drs. George W. Beadle, Edward L. Tatum and Joshua Lederberg. All are geneticists of world fame. They would be awarded the $41,420 prize jointly for pioneer re search into the fundamental basis of heredity. Beadle heads the California In stitute of Technology Division of Biology, Pasadena, Calif. Tatum works at' the Rockefeller Institute in New York. Lederberg heads the Department of Genetics and Medi cal Genetics at the University of Wisconsin. Beadle and Tatum are famed for their joint work on a red bread mold called neurospora which has yielded new clues te the basic problems of heredity. Lederberg is rated as a world leader in the genetics of viruses. The Royal Caroline institute ot Medicine meets to take the final decision on the Nobel medicine award Thursday.

(AP) Western diplomats at the U.N. grew increasingly fearful today that the Soviet Union plans to cuttle Big Three negotiations mr n inspection system to enforce a ban on nuclear weapons tests. The apprehension stemmed from the Soviet Union's latest flat rejection of the U.S.-British call for a one-year suspension of nu clear weapons tests, beginning with the opening of the Big Three talks in Geneva Friday Soviet Dputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zoiln told tne u.n. i nation Political Committee Mon day night that the Soviet Union was prepared to contribute "in every possible way" to success of the talks. He made plain, how ever, that the Kremlin would stick to its Insistence on an uncondition al agreement to suspend tests "immediately and forever." The Western nuclear powers de mand an inspection system to de tect violations before agreeing to any permanent suspension of tests. Zorin served notice once again that the Soviet Union intends to keep on with its nuclear weapon tests until their number equals the total the United Stales and Brit ain have set off since last March 31. On that date the Soviet Union announced it was suspending tests then resumed them Sept. 30. Zorin s statement was the first public Soviet reply to President Eisenhower's challenge Saturday to the Soviet Union to join the United States and Britain in a one-year suspension of all atomic- hydrogen weapon tests. The two Western powers first proposed the one-year suspension last August, Later they proposed alternatively that tests be suspended during the Genera talks. form's statement brought Quick reaction from the United States ana Britain. U.S. Delegate James W. Barco declared tne soviet reply ap peared to justify "every fear that has been expressed in this com mittee concerning the Soviet Un ion s real intentions. British Minister of State Allan Nobel asserted that the Soviet Un ion was persisting "in a position of extreme rigidity that is hardly calculated to bring about an agreed solution. A source close to the U.S. dele gation predicted that the Soviets were building up a case for tor pedoing the Geneva talks. "The Russians are right back where they were 12 years ago," the imformant said. "They are calling for an unconditional ban on the bomb and refusing to listen to any suggestion for enforcing that ban."

On the 12th ballot, the cardinals elected Angelo Cardinal Roncalli, patriarch of Venice to become the 262nd supreme ruler of the Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal Roncalli will become Pope John XXIII. Investigators Probe Blast Cause BISHOP, Va. (AP) Investiga tors descended 300 feet into an ex plosion-racked tunnel at the Pocahontas Fuel Co. coal mine to day, probing for. the cause of the second disastrous blast at the site within 21 months. Twenty-two miners were killed Monday, in the same section where 37 miners met death in a gas explosion Feb. 4, 1957. Crawtord Wilson, chief of tne West Virginia Bureau of Mines called it a shocking disaster, and said: We will uncover the cause." A formal public hearing will get under way Wednesday. borne 5,000 persons milled near the mine shaft entrance in this southwest Virginia mountain com munity while four rescue teams worked in relays to reach the missing men.

A Nationalist Defense Ministry spokesman declined to say wheth er any shells hit the beaches, air strips or wharves in violation of the Communist pledge. However, military sources said no sea convoys were en route to Quemoy. Stormy weather in the Formosa Strait again kept them from putting to the test Commu nist Defense Minister Peng Teh huai's broadcast invitation to re supply the islands without artil lery hazard on even-numbered days. The Defense Ministry an nounced Red coastal batteries opened up at 9 a.m. after a nine hour lull in the slackened but still deadly offshore war. It said 103 shells hit the islands up to noon, Detroit Reports New Death Case DETROIT (AP) Eight new cases and one more death were reported in the Detroit area polio epidemic Monday.

Roncalli, patriarch of Venice, becomes the 262nd supreme ruler of the Roman Catholic Church and its half billion followers. He is 76 years old. Chosen in secret conclave by the College of Cardinals, the new pon tiff chose the name John XX11I (23rd). He succeeds Pope Pius XII, who died after a reign of 19 years and seven months, ene of the longest reigns in the history of the church. .The new Italian pope, in the Roman Catholic view, is in direct succession to St. Peter. His titles, as officially listed by the church, are: "Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Province of Rome and Sov ereign of the State of Vatican City. The new pope, bald-headed and benign looking, has been one of the most popular prelates in Italy. He also has many friends abroad, particularly in France where he spent eight years as Papal Nun cion. He has a sturdy health and is I untiring worker. His affable manners and quick-witted conver sation have made him a well known figure at many diplomatic receptions He was born as the' son of a farmhand in a small village in the province of Bergamo. The peo pie ot tnis region, the Bergamas- chi, are known to be good-hu mored and easy going and young Roncalli lived up to this reputation. After graduating from the Ro-! man Pontifical Seminary in 1904, he became personal secretary of the Bishop of Bergamo, Msgr. Ra- dini-Tedeschi. In this - post, which he held until the bishop's death in 1914, he acquired an early knowledge of the administrative Youth Gives Ohio Motto CINCINNATI (AP) - Jimmy Mastronardo learned at school last year that Ohio has no slate motto. Jimmy, an 11-year-old fig ured this gap should be filled. When he learned he needed peti tions to get state legislators to in troduce a motto proposal, he went into action. Most of his snare time went for gathering signatures, mostly door- to-door. He got aunts in Lima and Oxford to help. He wane led a spot or a radio show to ask lor signers and even set up a booth at a food show here. It was hard work. "You'd be surnrised how many people just don t want to sign their names to anything," he said. Ana a lot of them are afraid it would cost them something." Then he tried to get an Intro duction to Gov. C. William O'Neill State Sen. William Dcddens of fered to help when O'Neill came here Monday to open a new thoroughfare.

Forecasters Predict Rain United Press International Forecasters predicted more rain Tuesday for the already drenched Eastern Seaboard and warned of fresh snowfalls in the New Eng land area. Snow accompanied the rain in the New England area Monday night and early Tuesday, piling up to a depth of five inches at Mount Washington, N.H. Elsewhere, snowfall amounts wt;e generally light. Rain during the night pelted the nortneast from the Virginias north through Maine with amounts ranging from one-tenth of an inch to as much as one-fourth of an inch in parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Rain also continued in southern Texas and northward through cen tral New Mexico and along the eastern slopes of the Central Rockies, with snow at higher ele vations in Colorado. Cool weather invaded the Upper Mississippi Valley and parts of the Great Lakes Region during the night. Cooling also was noted along the western Gulf Coast and portions of the southern states. the square and from adjoining streets, crowded to overflowing. Thousands and thousands had sped into the area on word that white smoke had come from the Sistine Chapel, indicating the car dinals had elected a pope on what apparently was the 12th ballot of a conclave that started Saturday.

Pius XI. who succeeded Bene dict in 1922, also took a strong interest in tne missionary work and Roncalli kept his post for four years, traveling to many foreign centers. His diplomatic career began in 1925 when he was sent to Bulgaria as apostolic visitator. Early in 1935 he moved to Turkey as anos- tolic delegate for Turkey and Greece. Late in 1944 he became Nuncio to the Fourth French Re- public. A week later, he handed his credentials to Gen. Charles de Gaulle.

Pvt. Jimmy Cope, Mountain Creek, Ala., testified that Moman threatened to hang him. He said a tent rope was placed around his neck and thrown over a tree limb. ""I didn't know exactly what he was going to do," Cope said, "but I knew he wouldn't hang me." : He said the incident occurred after he had fallen asleep on a firing range and the mock hang ing ended with Moman lecturing him about the dangers of going to sleep in combat. .

Eisenhower Wheels In Siege Guns For Fresh Attacks On Democrats NEW YORK (AP) - President Eisenhower wheeled up his cam paign siege guns for fresh attacks on the Democrats today after as sailing them as reckless spend thrifts and promoters of hare brained schemes. The President mflvea onto the New York state political battle ground from Pennsylvania where Monday night he called again for election of a Republican Congress a week from today to assure sound, sane and progressive gov ernment. In a Pittsburgh speech at a par ty rally, Eisenhower said his ad ministration has won spectacular gains for America since he took office, and added: "These are the finest six years of progress in our country s history. The President said lurther that under Republican direction "the promiso of American life .has no limit." He said "sensible Republican policies have brought the working man more dollars than all 'he boondoggles ever conceived oy spenders" and without "flogging the economy into inflation." In advance of the Pittsburgh talk, which was carried on televi sion and radio over an IB-state Eastern and Midwestern network Eisenhower told a cheering air port crowd at Charleston, W.Va., in a swat at the Democrats: The voters should "repudiate with our whole strength, with our whole souls, these phony doctrines that would merely put the private citizen In a wheel chair (urnlshed him by the federal government." Eisenhower came to New York to boost the slate GOP ticket led by Nelson A. Rockefeller, the can didate for governor, and Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, biddinf for the U.S. Senate. Rockefeller and Keating rode from the airport with the Presi dent and shared the midnight wel come he got from Times Square crowds on the way to his Astor Hotel suite. The two candidates then con ferred with Eisenhower about 25 minutes and arranged to accom pany mm tnis aiternoon to a cou ple of party worker rallies. The President planned informal talks at each of the rallies. He scheduled conferences later in the day with Rep. Robert Kean, New Jersey GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate, and Fred R.
