Americans Again
Awarded Nobel
Medicine Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Ud —
Two American scientists were
awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in
medicine for pioneer research into
the basic mechanisms of heredity.
They are Dr. Severo Ochoa of
| the New York University College
of Medicine and Dr. Arthur Korn
berg of Stanford University, Cali
fornia.
The decision was taken by the
Swedish Royal Caroline Institute
of Medicne and Physiology yes
terday afternoon.
The reward signaled an explo
| sive biochemical advance in the
basic scientific level of heredity.
The pTze this year is worth
i 220,700 Swedish crowns—$42,000.
The money comes from trusts set
up under the will of Alfred Nobel.
Swedish inventor of dynamite. The
i prices are given for chemistry,
physics, literature, as well as in
the field of medicine and physio
I logy. In adition there is the Nobel
Peace Prize.
Americans also won the prize
j for medicine last year. They were
! George Beadle, Edward Tatum
and Joshua Lederberg, for their
work in genetics.
The work of Dr. Ochoa and Dr.
Kornberg centered on the chemi
cal structure pattern of heredity,
notably the key substances of
DNA — desoxyribonucleic acid;
and RNA — ribonucleic acid.
The Caroline Institute said in
its official citation that the two
Americans scientists were
awarded the prize “for their dis
coveries of the mechanisms in the
| biological synthesis of ribonucleic
; acid and desoxyribonucleic acid.”
Dr. Ochoa, 54, is a native of
| Luarca, Spain.
Kornberg, 41, was born in
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Caroline Institute, which
gave half the prize to each man,
said it was honoring “two of the
1 best biochemists of the present
time in their most active age.”
Herter Pledges U.S.
Efforts to Preserve
Antarctic Peace
WASHINGTON, UP) — Secre
tary of State Christian A. Herter
yesterday pledged America’s dedi
cation to the principle that Ant
arctica should be used for peace
ful purpose only — and not be
come an object of political con
flict.
Herter set out the U. S. position
at the opening of a 12-nation con
ference aimed at insuring peace
over the coast and still unsettled
regions of the South Pole.
This country hpes the 12 na
tions, the Soviet Union included,
will agree on a treaty banning mil
itary use of the vast sub-conti
nent. The aim is to dedicate it
to cooperative scientifc under
takings.
Agreements on an Antarctic
treaty, U. S. officals believe, could
improve the atmosphere for ne
gotiations on other East-West
issues.
The proposed inspection sys
tem to make sure there are no
Antarctic military violators could
serve as a pilot system for a fu
ture disarmament plan.
U. S. and Soviet scientists al
readj^ have cooperated in the joint
Antarctic programs of the Inter
national Geophysical Year, which
ended last January 1. So did sci
entists of many other countries.
“My government is dedicated
to the principle that the contin
uation of this cooperation should
be assured and that Antarctica
should be used for peaceful pur
poses only, should not become an
object of political conflict, and
should be open for the conduct
of scientific investigations,” Herter
said.
MOSCOW, W) — Chiefs of se
curity have been appointed in
three Soviet republics on the
southern border of the Soviet
Union.
The was no explanation for the
appointments.
