Three Jews Among Nobel Winners,

in literature Physics , Medicine
,
Three of the Nobel Prize
winners this year are Jewish.
Boris Pasternak, the most
controversial of the recipients,
is still under fire in Moscow
for his "Dr. Zhivago," which
earned him the Nobel Prize for
literature. Pasternak's father,
the late Leonid Pasternak, was
well-known in early Zionist cir-
cles. Pasternak has declined the
prize money and his fate in the
Soviet Union is still uncertain.
In the field of medicine and
physiology, Dr. Joshua Leder-
berg received one-half of the
Nobel Prize of $41,250. The oth-
er half was split between two
other winners. All three were
engaged in research into the
nature of genes and enzymes
in the hereditary system. Dr.
Lederberg, 33, of the University
of Wisconsin, received the prize
for "his discoveries concerning
the genetic recombination and
the organization of the genetic
material of bacteria." He dis-
covered that genetic recombin-
ation in bacteria "corresponds
exactly to the normal sexual
fertilization in the higher or-
ganisms." The discovery is ex-
pected to have a great impact
on cancer research.
Dr. Lederberg is the son of
an Orthodox rabbi, who is still
living in Philadelphia. His

Catholic Paper Asks
Jewish Immigration
UNITED NATIONS (AJP)—
The Catholic Worker, organ of
the Catholic Worker Movement,
urges in its November issue
that more Jews come to
America and build up the
country here as the Israelis
have built up Israel.
Citing a lengthy poem on
Jews, written by the late Peter
Maurin, the paper quotes the
following:
"America can produce more
than it can consume. What
America needs is more con-
sumers. More Jews in America
means more consumers for
America. It is said Jews flock
to the cities and become
middle men in America. But
in Palestine the Jews are build-
ing both cities and country.
What the Jews are doing in
Palestine they can do also in
America."
