Adm. Nimitz Says H-BOmb Won't Be Made in Lifetime

LAKE SUCCESS. (H) - U. S. Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz told 85 visiting West Point cadets Friday he doesn't think the hy- drogen bomb can be developed in his lifetime.
 He added: I hope I don't live to see it."
 Nimitz, who is engaged by the United Nations to administer plebiscite for Kashmir, spoke to the cadets for 30 minutes.
 His opinion that man would not produce hydrogen bomb in the near future was concurred in by pr. Robert Millikan, chairman of the California Institute of Tech nology.
 Millikan. one of the nations top scientists said the stumbling block to the hydrogen bomb is that man can't produce 25,0O0,00O degree centigrade temperatures to . transform helium into energy, like the sun does.
 He told reporters here the world does not have to fear that Russia will have stockpile of atom bombs very soon. He said Russia is getting most of its uran- ium from the Poachimstahl fields in northern Czechoslovakia and !. Saxony and added that he doesn't think there is much uranium there.

Committee Suggest Nome For Alaska
 Psychiatric Unit

 It is the newest and most mod ern hospital and there appears to be space on the ground floor level which could be adapted without excessive expenditure.
 Under a well-developed mental health program this space could be developed for use as a mental health clinic for in-patients and out-patients where prevent e and curative services could be of fered on a short term basis. It could also be used as psychiatric receiving center, i.e.: detention hospital for patients under ob- servation or awaiting transporta- ton to a hospital for long term care.
 No other general hospital vis- tied by your committee appeared to have space currently available for such service.
 All other hospitals are either too overloaded Gas the Providence Hospital in Anchorage) or of in adequate construction, or both.
 1t would also be necessary to overcome a certain resistance for psychiatric patients on the part of teh heads of some private general hospitals if additional facilities were to be added.

Tass Says Soviets Will Not Halt Downing Planes
(BY Eddie Gilmore)

MOSCOW, (P)-Moscow news papers Saturday published Tass news agency dispatches under foreign datelines indicating a be- lief abroad that Russian fighters may have shot down the U. s. Navy Privateer plane missing since April 8.
 Under a London dateline, TaSs quoted the News Chronicle as saying that: "Incidents such as the present one in which a. plane was downed will be repeated in the future as the Russians will not halt at anything to preserve mili- tary secrets"
 TaSs said the missing plane was equipped with exploratory ra- dar" and aerial photographic equipment and had on board "3 specialists in electronics."
 The American press was ac- cused of distorting the facts of the case and of minimizing the "real purpose" of the planes trip.
 The agency dispatch also said the widespread search for the missing plane during the past week was a mask for air intelli- gence exploration in the Baltic.
 It quoted the New York Times as saying in a Frankfurt story that the Baltic shore is very in teresting place for aerial observa- tionS.
 It is becoming clearer all the time that if the missing plane ac- tually was shot down, the Rus sians regard this as just punish ment for violation of international law. Likewise it is very apparent that the Soviets would deal out similar treatment to any other foreign military planes which show up on this side of the iron tier.
 The Soviet press has maintain ed from the first that this has been a "crude violation" of inter- national rights and sovereignty and the plane got "what was com ing to it."

erally demoralizing as the pres ent building maintained as a fed eral jail in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.
 "The use of this fabulous ob- scenity as a place to house mental patients is nothing short of bar barrie. despite the effort of the U. $. marshal and his staff to render decently humane treatment.
 Ut must also be said that this facility is fully as unsuitable for prisoners as it is for the mentally ill.,"
 The committee recommended federal construction of a 350-bed hospital in the Anchorage area, for central Alaska, and 50-bed center at Mt. Edgecumbe, Sitka, for Southeastern Alaska. Alaskan mental patients now are housed at Morningside Hospital, Port land, Ore.
 The committee said that of pres ent general hospitals in Alaska, the Maynard-McDougal Memorial Hospital at Nome would lend it. self most readily to the addition of a psychiatric unit.
 All other general hospitals in the Territory are either overload ed as is Providence Hospital at Anchorage, or are of inadequate construction, or both, it said.
 The committee urged that the Catholic order which operates St. JoSeph's Hospital at Fairbanks in- clude psychiatric unit in the hospital addition it is planning.
 Urging the immediate abolition of the jury system and jury-de- tention in sanity hearings, the committee said:
 "The stigma of being charged with a crime, the public docket filed with the court and the pub licity of having to appear before a panel of six neighbors are humil- iating in the extreme and are cer- tainly not recommended treat ment for a person who might be mentally ill."
 Dr. Wilfred Overholser, super intendent of St. Elizabeth's hos pital, Washington. D. C., headed the committee on a three-week tour of Alaskan hospitals.
 The other committee members were pr. Dale C. Cameron of the National Institute of Mental Health, Territorial Health Com missioner C. Earl Albrecht, pr. James Googe, medical director of the Alaska Native Service, and M. w. Goding, assistant chief of interiors Alaska branch.

bolic that she died standing be-

We were family of ''assimil-

band felt himself to be 100
percent German, and tried to
rear his two daughters in the
same spirit. 1 myself, until 1888,
was relatively Indifferent to
the complex problem of being
a German Jew.
This is the atmosphere IN
which Berbel, as we called her,
began her life.
Berbel, lovely and gifted, was
spoiled by everyone and idol
lied by her father. But some
how she herself was never at
peace.
Her restless ambition and her
marked talents drove her to use
all her powers-even in her pre-
school years-to compensate for
the handicap of having been
born second child. Thus, while
her little friends played with
dolls, Berbel sat for hours at her
sisters desk, struggling to copy
the letters in the alphabet book.
One day we found her reading
and writing printed letters. The
child never admitted it had been
hard. Instead she shrugged her
shoulders and with the arro-
gance of childhood said, whats

BerbelS drive to be in the

never did learn the truth. His
death was the first great shock
of her short life. ''It is good
that the dear God took him this
way" she said through her
tears. Daddy loved Germany
so, he would never have left.
And he would have been so
disillusioned."
From that day on she had a
strong anti-Hitlerite feeling,
but she still had no strong con-

six months she went to an En-
glish boarding school, where
she was very unhappy. l per-
suaded her to come to Palestine
with me only by telling her that
it would be temporary, and Ia
ter we would both go to the
United States to be with Petra.
She was then twelve years old.
But within two years afer we
arrived in Palestine, Berbel was
completely acclimated and felt
herself to be a Palestinian. Ber-
bel became Bracha.
We sat together quietly, dis
cussing her future, after her
graduation from high school,
Bracha could not decide. Of
course, she had to give her year
of national service first.
''But what do you really want
to do, Berbel?" "I don't know

But I have no real talent. That's
why l don't know What l want

Morse Influence on Alfred Nobel

the famous Swedish Engineer and
Inventor John Ericsson.
Nobel made a fortune from his
inventions of dynamite and smoke
less gunpowder. First commercial
success of dynamite came in blast
ing tunnel through the Rocky
Mountains for the first Pacific
Railroad. Altogether Nobel had pa

lished factories in most European
countries and North America.
Concerned over the consequences
of his invention of dynamite, he
bequeathed his entire fortune of
81 million crowns (about IS MILL
for establishment of five annual
prizes to those who serve humanity
best.
Nobel prizes are awarded for
physics, chemistry, physiology or
medicine. literature and peace. The
first awards were given in 1901.
Up to 194S a total of 1877 prizes
amounting to 27,529,OOO crowns or
over 81 million had been distribut-
ed. The value of the prizes varies
according to the annual interest
earned.
Nobel did not spend his life in
Norway, and of course he didn't
die in Norway. but in San Reno,
Italy. December 10. 1896.
The recipients of the Nobel Priz-
es for physics and chemistry are
selected by the Royal Swedish
Academy of Science, for medicine
by the Carolinian Medco-Surgical
Institute in Stockholm, for litera-
ture by the Swedish Academy. The
Peace Prize, in accordance with
the donator's will. is annually
awarded by a five-rlan committee
appointed by the Norwegian Stort-
inget. At the time when Alfred
Nobel established the foundation
that bears his name, Sweden and
Norway constituted a monarchiC
union which was subsequently dis
solved. Nobel. himself, regarded
the decision to let Norway award
the Peace Prize as a good will
gesture toward the Norwegian
government and people.
