Developers of
Transistor Win
Nobel Award
STOCKHOLM, lift—The devel
opment of the tiny transistor as a
substitute for bulky vacuum
tubes won the 1956 Nobel Prize
in physics yesterday for three
U.S. scientists.
One of them was Dr. Walter H.
Brattain, 54, of Murray Hill, N.J.,
a former Seattle man who re
ceived his master’s degree from
the University of Oregon after
being graduated from Whitman
College at Walla Walla, Wash.
The other two were Dr. John
Bardeen, 48, of Urbana, 111., jnd
William Shockley, 46, of Pasa
dena, Calif.
Bell Telephone Laboratories
All did their work in the labor
atories of the Bell Telephone Co.
They will divide the $38,633
physics award.
The micro-amplifiers known as
transistors perform virtually ev
ery function of vacuum tubes in
electronics and communications
but need only a fraction of the
current and space of the old vac
uum tubes.
A Russian and an Englishman
were awarded the 1956 Nobel
Prize in chemistry for discovering
the rules of conduct when mole
cules blow up in chain reactions
or combine smoothly.
Their work laid the foundation
for the development of plastics
and was a factor in later atomic
research.
First Russian Winner
I The winner of the first Nobel
award ever given a Soviet citizen
is Nikolai N. Semyonov, bearded
60-year-old Moscow professor of
physical chemistry and the organ
izer of much of Russia’s chemical
science.
Sharing the $38,633 award is
j Sir Cyril Hinshelwood, 59, of Ox
ford University. He and Semyo
nov worked independently, but
have been friends and correspon
dents for some 25 years.

Arab Rioting
Reported on
Oil-Rich Island
WASHINGTON, <*>—American
oil men report Arab rioting
around the oil installations on
Bahrein Islar\d in the Persian
Gulf.
A brief message to the State
Department yesterday said British
troops had gone ashore to put
down the uprising and 30 Ameri
cans had taken refuge in the big
British oil refinery there.
There was no detail, but Arab
workers were believed here to
have been acting in response to
an appeal by the International
Federation of Arab Workers for
sabotage against Western inter
ests in the Middle East.
The oil-rich island of Bahrein
is an independent Arab state
ruled by sheiks under British
protection.
Standard Oil of California and
the Texas Co. are among Ameri
can interests which have a share
in the oil development on Bah
rein.
