Russian Author
Awarded Nobel
Prize For Work
STOCKHOLM, UPI — Boris Pas
ternak, the Russian poet and
author of the anti-Communist
novel “Doctor Zhivage,” yesterday
was awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize
in literature.
The award was the most dra
matic in years. The 68-year-old
author still lives just outside Mos
cow. Tfie Soviet government has
not permitted publication in Rus
sia of his monumental novel about
what Communism has done to
freedom, and tried to prevent its
publication abroad.
The award, worth $41,420, was
certain to be interpreted by many
as a slap in the face for the Soviet
government. There was specula
tion that the Soviet authorities
would not allow Pasternak to re
ceive his prize.
Known as the greatest living
poet writing in the Russian lan
guage, Pasternak despaired of
publishing creative writing of his
own under Stalin and for years
devoted himself to translations of
such foreign classics as Goethe
and Shakespeare.
“Doctor Zhivage”—upon which
he has been working quietly for
10 years — was completed in
1956 during the de-Stalinization
period of comparative freedom
for writers. But to make certain
>t was published, he sent it abroad
by a friend.
The monumental novel first
appeared in Italy in Italian last
year and was published in the
United States last month.
The -700-page book has for its
hero Yuri Andreyevish Zhivage,
a wealthy doctor and writer who
tells, through literary bits he left
behind, of the tragedy of Russia
in this century.
It obviously expressed Paster
nak’s reaction to the Russian
Revolution.

Hospital Headache
They haven t proved anything yet, but some medical researchers
are investigating the theory that headaches, especially the migraine
variety are caused by a virus.
Right now hospitals in general have a headache caused by another
member of the germ family, a tough microbe called Staphylococcus
aureus, inese siapns are noton- .
ous for causing boils, abscesses -
and other ugly infections. With
the advent of penicillin and other
antibiotics, the war against the*
staphs seemed to be won. Now,
however, a stubborn strain of
staphs is emerging and causing
serious infections in hospitals
especially among newborn, ma
ternity and post-operative pa
tients. Unlike their ancestors, the
resistant micro-organisms sur
vive attacks by penicillin.
Doctors have two theories about
the origin of resistant staphs.
One is that they have always ex
isted but are coming to light now
only because antibiotics kill off
most other disease germs, leaving
more room and food for the hard
ier staph to grow and multiply.
The other theory is that this is a
new variety of disease germ, still
recognizable as staphs but with a
built-in, acquired immunity to
penicillin. They have learned to
coexist with most antibiotics in
general use.
Come-Uppanc*
While hospitals have re-written
rules and revised procedures in
an attempt to squelch the stub
born staph, pharmaceutical re
search scientists have been bysy
in the laboratory, looking for a
new drug to help the hospitals in
their fight. The search is proving
fruitful. A new antibiotic called
Tao (to rhyme with kayo) snuffs
out most of these resistant germs.
Working with 40 strains of
tough staph germs from hospital
patients, laboratory scientists'
tested a variety of antibiotics
for effectiveness. The new Tao
worked against 24 of the 40. In
comparison, another antibiotic,
erythromycin, worked against
only ten and penicillin against
only two.
More good news. While Tao
combats common infections, it
does not cause the kind of aller
gic reaction sometimes encount
ered when penicillin is given.
Studies like those which produced
Tao are costly—the pharmaceu
tical industry spent $125 million
on research alone last year. Yet
the life-saving results of such re
search proves the expenditure of
time and money is well worth
while.
