Nobel Prize for Medicine
Awarded to 3 Americans
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (PP)
The 1958 Nobel Prize in Medi
cine and Physiology was awarded
yesterday to three American sci
entists for their work on problems
of heredity.
The work could have strong
bearing on the future of cancer
research.
One half of the $41,420 prize
goes to Dr. Joshua Lederberg, 33,
of the University of Wisconsin and
the other half to Drs. E. L. Tatum,
49, of New York's Rockefeller In
stitute, and George Wells Beadle,
55, of the California Institute of
Technology.
The award was the fourth
Nobel Prize for this year. The
only other Nobel Prize remain
ing to be awarded—for Peace—
will be announced later.
In awarding half of the medi
cal prize to Lederberg the com
mittee said it was "for his discov
eries concerning genetic recom
bination and the organization of
the genetic material of bacteria."
The term genetic recombination
means sexual life in the world of
bacteria.
Lederberg discovered that from

Despite Russia's attitude, giv
en in a statement broadcast by
Radio Moscow a few hours ear
lier, the State Department said
the U.S. definitely intends to
stop testing beginning today.
Press officer Lincoln White
noted that Secretary of State
Dulles has given
,notice the Uni
ted States will resume planning
for tests if Russia sets off nuclear
blasts during the 12-month per
iod.
Russia's new denunciation of
the American-B ritish proposal
came at about the same time the
Soviet Foreign Office handed
notes to Britain and the United
States.
The State Department said
the Soviet note contained noth
ing new on the test ban prob
lem.
White said only: "It indicates
the U.S.S.R. does not insist on the
presence of the foreign ministers
at the Geneva meeting."
At Geneva, American-British
scientists are reported ready to
negotiate with a Soviet team on a
worldwide inspection system to
police any ban agreed upon.
the geneticists' viewpoint "this
corresponds exactly to the nor
mal sexual fertilization in the
higher organisms."
Prof. Torbjorn Casperson of
the awarding group, an expert
on genetics, said this discovery
had "offered the first chance to
understand the mode of action
of the genes" and is one of the
foundations of modern genetics.
The research of the two Ameri
cans was based largely on a red
bread mold called neurospora
crassa.

12 Rescued
After 6 Days
In Coal Mine
SPRINGHILL, Nova Scotia (W)
—Twelve sturdy miners emerged
from a wrecked coal mine yester
day with a story of hunger,
thirst, prayer, and despair dur
ing six black days of entombment.
The 12, rescued at dawn, said
they had left dead comrades be
hind them •in their tunnel. But
rescue workers dug on, hoping for
' another near-miracle and that
some of the 55 still missing might
be alive.
The ordeal for the 12 began last '
Thursday night when a massive:
shift of the earth—caused by pres-;
sures deep in the mine—trappedi
174 men, killing at least 26.
The known death toll rose last'
night to 31, however. One mole
body was brought up. Rescue
workers said they had sighted;
four more.
That reduced to 50 the men to'
be accounted for. Frank Doxey,
;assistant to rescue director Har-;
old Gordon, said the answer to:
their fate was at the end of abouti
420 feet more of the kind of dig-
Ting, scrabbling and clawing that
accomplished yesterday's rescue.'
