THE DETRO IT JEWISH NEWS—Friday, November 14, 1958-6 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.

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." HARRY ABRAM giving the best deals on the "All New" 1959 SHORE CHEVROLET 12240 Jos. Campau 8 Biks.
