French Author Albert Camus Wins
1957 Nobel Award for Literature
b i ULKHOLM, UP)—Albert Ca
mus, a French moralist and one
of the sharpest contemporary
critics of totalitarianism of ail
kinds, yesterday won the 1957
Nobel Prize for Literature.
The 43-year-old author of “The
Plague” and “The Fall” was cited
for his important literary pro
duction which with clear-sighted
earnestness illuminates the prob
lems of the human conscience in
our times.”
Second Youngest Winner
Camus was the second youngest
author selected by the Royal Swe
dish Academy of Literature for
the international prize. British
author Rudyard Kipling was 41
when he was tapped in 1907.
Lester B. Pearson, former Can
adian foreign secretary, was cho
sen Monday for the 1957 Nobel
Peace Prize. The prize in medi
cine will be announced next week
and the physics and chemistry
awards a week later.
Most Prize Money
Camus will receive more than
$42,000, the largest amount ever
given a Nobel Literature winner.
Size of the awards depends on
the income from the fund estab
lished by Alfred Nobel, Swedish
inventor of dynamite, who died in
1896.
The French writer told report
ers after learning of the award
that he hoped the prize money
would enable him to spend the
next few years on a big new “ed
ucational” novel.
"How to Become a Man" '
“It’s theme,” he said, “is sim
ply how to become a man.”
In a radio talk yesterday on
Camus and his works, Dr. Anders
Oesterling of the Swedish Acad
emy said the French writer illus
trates an idealistic aim in de
scribing life around him and,
above all, accents the positive by
showing an energetic demand for
revolt against futility.
This is the kind of knocking on
doors, Oesterling said, that repre
sents the very basis of the Nobel
Award.
Once a Communist
A Communist himself for one
year at the age of 21 in his native
Algeria, Camus in this book sums
up his later views thus:
“Every revolutionary ends as
an oppressor or a heretic . . .
revolt and revolution both wind
up at the same crossroads: the
police or folly.”
Camus himself advocates a
“Greek middle way” of reason,
modesty and classical restraint
between what he calls the physi
cal or moral “hangmen” of the
extreme left and right.

Peace River
Bridge Crashes
As 3,000 Watch
TAYLOR, B.C., <4*—Left with
out support when the shale crum
bled beneatiT'a. 25,000-ton anchor
block, the north span of the four
million dollar, 2,200-foot Alaska
Highway suspension bridge fell
with a crash into the Peace River
Wednesday.
No one was injured and 3,000
persons watched as the 465-foot
section buckled and dropped with
a tremendoits roar, seven hours
after engineers had noted the
northern anchor was sinking.
Ferry Takes Traffic '
The collapse cut the main high
way into Alaska but traffic—
amounting to some 200 to 300
vehicles a day—was quickly re
routed to a small ferry 10 miles
downstream.
It was feared the center span of
the bridge also would give way
as its only support were two 190
foot cable towers. Engineers said
th estructure was sagging and
might come down “pretty soon.”
The breakup severed telegraph
and telephone lines into the Yu
kon but new lines were strung
yesterday.
Largest of 133 Bridges
The bridge, largest of 133 on
the northern road, was built in
1942 by the U.S. Army when it
constructed the then militarily
vital Alaska Highway. The piers
were built by a Canadian firm,
but the superstructure consists of
the remains of a bridge hauled
here from Oakland, Calif.
The structure has given trouble
before. A 200-foot section washed
out in 1942, and weakened piers
had to be repaired in 1948.
The bridge’s collapse is regarded
as a sharp blow to the economy of
British Columbia’s northland.
Contrary to popular belief, it
never is too cold to snow. Sub
zero temperature, however, sel
dom holds enough moisture for
the snow to fall in flakes. Then
the fall is fine and dust-like.
