Authors Say
Pasternak Wants
Nobel Prize
Three Western Nobel prizewin
ning authors agreed Thursday
that Boris Pasternak turned doyn
his 1958 award because of press
ure from the Soviet government,
not because he agreed with the
Kremlin’s condemnation of his
work.
The 68-year-old Russian writer
was awarded the $41,420 pri£e a
week ago for his poetry, and his
novel, “Doctor Zhivago,” which
describes the loss of freedom in
Soviet society. The novel is a
best-seller in the West, but has
been suppressed in the Soviet
Union.
Wednesday, after a government
campaign of vilification in which
the Nobel committee was accused
of playing cold war politics, Pas
ternak cabled the Swedish Royal
Academy of Letters that he was
refusing the prize “because of the
meaning attributed to this award
in the society I live in.”
“Do not take my voluntary re
fusal with an ill will,” he added.
France’s Albert Camus, winner
of the 1957 Nobel Prize for Lit
erature, commented, “I don’t be
lieve Pasternak refused the Nobel
Prize of his own free will. . . .”
Earl Bertrand Russell, 86-year
old British philosopher who won
the 1950 prize, said he was “dis
gusted with the Russians’ attitude
to this from the start.”
He' joined another Nobel win
ner, poet T. S. Eliot, and several
other leading British writers in a
plea to the Soviet Writers Union
not to victimize Pasternak.

New Geophysical
Assessment Law
(From the Department of Mines
Bulletin)
According to information re
ceived at the time of writing the
last Bulletin, S. 3039 to allow for
geophysical assessment work had
not quite passed before Congress
adjourned. However, it somehow
did get passed in the final hours
of the 85th Congress and was
signed into law by the President.
It is now Public Law 85-876. This
new law permits geological, geo
physical, and geochemical work
to be considered as labor or im
provements on unpatented claims
to fulfill the yearly $100-per-claim
assessment work requirement.
Geophysical surveys to qualify
must be made on the ground
(aerial surveys not allowed) and
must be made toy qualified ex
perts using recognized standard
instruments and equipment. A de
tailed report will have to be filed
in the proper recording office
stating (1) the location of the
work in relation to the discovery
point and claim boundaries, (2)
rthe nature, extent, and cost, i3)
basic findings of survey, and (4)
name, address, and professional
background of person or persons
doing the work. Such surveys
may not be applied as labor for
more than two consecutive years
nor for mote than a total of five
years on any one claim. No sur
vey may ^be applied that is repe
titive of a previous allowed sur
vey, and radiation detection sur
veys will not be applicable.
This geophysical assessment
work law is a long-needed addi
tion to our mining law, recogniz
ing modem exploration methods.
We are happy to see it in effect.
However, we also see that ques
tions will be raised on some of
the definitions in the Act, and we
wonder who is to say as to who
are qualified experts and what are
standard methods and equipment.
It is logical to expect that the
next step in changing our mining
laws would be a provision for
geophysical discoveries. This step,
though needed, should be viewed
with caution, for it could prove
to be a means for large companies
to squeeze small operators and
prospectors out of new areas. We
should never forget to guard the
rights of the individual prospec
tors. There is a definite need for
an amendment to the General
Mining Laws which would pro
vide reasonable protection to one
who is working in good faith to
make a legal discovery, until he
makes that discovery.
