Honored for Atomic
Measurement Plan
BY the Assoeiated Pres.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. CT W o
United States scientists were
awarded the 1852 Nobel Prize in
physics today for their develop
ment of new refined method to
measure magnetic fields in atomic
nuclei.
The winners are DR.. Felix Bloch,
A., of Stanford University. Calf. ;.
and Harvard University physi-
cist, DR.. Edward Mills Purcell, 40,
who helped develop radar during
World War II.
Francois Mauriac, noted French
Catholic author, was announced
earlier today as the winner of the
annual prize for literature.
Previously, the committee for
the peace prize had announced
that none would be given this
year.
Prizes Are $33,037.
Another American, DR.. Selman
A. Waksman, was named last
month to receive the prize in med
icine 70: his work in the discovery
of streptomycin and its effects
against tuberculosis.
The winner of the 1852 award

10.
Developed independently.
DR.. Bloch and DR.. Purcell de-
veloped their prize-winning meth
cd of measuring magnetic fields in
atomic nuclei independently Of
each other. The technique en-
abled atomic scientists to increase
a thousand-fold the precision Of
measurements of fundamental i'm
portance to the study Of the struc-
ture of atomic nuclei.
To illustrate one of the practical
uses of the bloch-Purcell method.
it is fully possible, for instance, by
nuclear induction to trace and
analyze all the atoms and isotopes
in a lump Of sugar. without chang
ing the sugar itself.
Mr.. Mauriac, 81, internationally
known for such novels as THE
Desert Of Love" and "Vipers'
Tangle." also is a poet. playwright,

As Signal 10 Clean House
BY the Assoeioied Press

RENO. New, Nov. 6.-Demo-
cratic Senator McCarran de-
clared yesterday Gen. Eisen-
hower's election is signal to the
Democratic Party to clean house
Of what he calls "Subversive ele-
ments."
Senator McCarran, who is now
chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee. said in a statement:
Gov. Stevenson lost the Presi-
dency because Of his close as
sociation with group that has
gone so far to the left as to
threaten the setting UP of social
ism in America"
The Senator continued:
This is q definite verdict by the
American people that the Demo-
cratic Party must rid itself of GER
tain elements subversive in ac-
tivity that have, crept into the
American Government by reason
Of the laxity of vigilance by the
party that had this country in
hand,

country ! q militant group of

g. 0. ?. Committee
Increased by Sweep
BY the Associated Press

s ta ~
Under the new party rule giving
a bonus member to States with
good voting records. the Repubii-
can National Committee stands to
pick up seven and possibly eight
new members as a result Of the
party's election sweep.
The State chairmen of Florida,
Montana. Oklahoma, Rhode Is
land, Tennessee. Texas and Vir-
ginia automatically become ma
tional committee members since
those States gave their electoral
majority to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
If Gen. Eisenhower maintains
his lead in Missouri to the end
of the counting. the State chair
man of that State also will go on
the committee.
The Republicans at their ma
tionaa convention last July voted
to give a third national committee
member to each State giving q
popular majority to the party s
candidate for President, electine
a Republican Governor, or elect
ing a majority of its combined
Senate and House membership.
This was an inducement to
States to put an extra push into
their election drives. It auto
matically added 70 the committee
the State chairinen from 81 States
and Hawaii, on the basis Of the
1948 and 1850 elections.
All these States went Republi-
can Tuesday and Hawaii re-elect-
ed Joseph r. harrington. Repub-
lican it's delegate to Congress
Thus they retained their bonus
members
The seven new States getting
the bonus raises the committee
membership to 145.

Election Bet Loser
Solves Problem Of
Eotinq Front Page
By the A,,oeiafed Pros,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. g.
Results of the presidential cleo
ton were hard to swallow for
Carolyn Howard.
The vivacious brunei had to
pay of an election bet by eating
the front page of the pro-Eisen-
hover Montgomery Advertiser at
high noon yesterday.
Mrs. Howard, who does publicity
for the Montgomery Chamber Of
Commerce, had her chips on Gov.
Adlai Stevenson in q friendly
wager with one Of the news
papers reporters.
She tackled the problem shrewd-
|ly, though. She burned the page
first. crumpled the ashes In a cup
Of coffee and followed it with ap-
lple pie.

One New Cuse of Polio
Listed in Fuirfux County

One case of polio in Fairfax
County today, raised the Metro
politan Area total to 438. There
were 200 at this time last year.
The Fairfax County Health De-
partment reported l3-year-old
boy has been admitted to Chill
dren's Hospital for treatment. He
is the county's 73d victim, COM

nearby sections have reported any

cede to any employe group de-
mandS just to be popular with
the various employe unions.
In this regard. he is not much
different from the current chair
man, Representative Murray,
Democrat. Of Tennessee. Both
men have conservative records
and have generally seen eye to
eye on employe matters.
Most Federal employees will find
Mr.. Rees fair man to deal with.
Certainly, there is no member Of
Congress who knows more about
civil service than Mr.. Rees. The
Kansan can be expected to delve
into many civil service situations
he has criticized. Among them
are personal and political patron
age in appointments and promo
tions, lack of adequate training
programs and faults in the classi-
f1cation and nanpower utilization
programs.
The situation is not quite as
clear in the Senate Civil Service
Committee. Senator LANCER, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, one
OF the greatest champions Federal
employees ever have had in Con-
gress, is in line for the chairman
ship. He held that post during the
80th Congress.
However. Senator LANCER may
have first crack at the Senate
judiciary Committee. If he chooses
that post. Senator Carlson of
Kansas would be the next choice
for chairman. However, Senator
Carlson is being mentioned for
a cabinet post in the Eisenhower
administration.
The next ranking Republican is
Senator Butler of Maryland. SEN
ator Butler has not shown much
interest In civil service matters
during his two years on the COM
mittee. but he might change If
the Craftsmanship were given to
him.
Most Federal workers hope SEN
ator LANCER will accept the chair
manShip Of the civil service group.
II not, Senator Carlson, who has
made a fine liberal record as a
member Of the committee, would
be second choice of employe
groups.
IMPORTANT COMMITTEES
There are two more committee
|chairmanships of vital interest to
Government workers.
One is the Senate Committee
ION Government Operations, which
will be headed by the controver-
sial Senator Mccarthy of Wis
consin. Intensive investigations of
|reputed Communist and Red
favored activities in Federal
agencies may be expected under
Senator McCarthy's chairman
ship. 0 Kos
The Senate groups counterpart,
the House Executive Expenditures
Committee, will be headed by
Representative Hoffman of Mich
|igan. a longtime critic of the
Governments executive branch
and its employees. A lot Of lively
Investigations can also be ex-
|pected from the House group.
Evening star., 1952-11-06

senhower will appoint at least two
new Civil Service Commission
members. It's practically certain
that Chairman Robert RamSpeck
and Commissioner Frances Per-
|kins will go. Republican Member
James Mitchell may stay.
The civil service system is in
great need of modernization, and
most employees will welcome any
effort to remove the red tape and
confusion that has proven so ex-
Iasperating on occasions.
CONGRESSIONAL SETUP-So
far as Congress is concerned, Fed
eral employees may have some
cause for apprehension.
The key committee chairman
ships involving Federal workers
will, for the most part, be filled
by extremely conservative Re-
lpublicans.
The all-important House Ap-
preparations Committee will be
headed by economy minded Rep
resentative Taber of New York.
Mr.. Taber welded a terrific econ
onay ak when he headed the COM
mittee during the 80th Republi-
can Congress. Nearly 100000
Federal jobs were abolished during
1947-48 when all Government en-
ployes had q terrific case of job
jitters.
So, in the final analysis, it may
be up to Congress and not Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower as to
whether there is to be a large
reduction in Federal jobs. OF
course, the situation is a little diff
|ferent this time. With the Repub-
licans in control of the executive
branch, the Republican-controlled
Congress may not WELD the econ
omy ak so heavily. But that re-
mains to be seen.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, becomes chair
man Of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. Senator Bridges Is
more of a moderate than Mr..
|Taber, although he. too, is greatly
concerned with increased economy
lin Government.

they would fight to bring the issue
to voters again in 1854.

Good Government in the county
blamed Tuesdays election defeat
on an "unholy coalition of ma

statement further claimed that the
low vote total-little more than
half the number cast in the presi-
dential election-resulted from
public misunderstanding of the
charter issue.
Because of this, the committee
said it would spend the next two
years explaining the need for re-

The members of the Ladies Aux

pany offered to help and have been
put in charge of a mailing cam
paign. Due to loss of revenue
from inability to hold carnival,
the fire company is forced to seek
other means to continue their work
during the emergency, and they
are asking the people for a share
of the money they have saved in
past years in fire insurance prem
iums, which would have been two
and one-half times greater if not
for the efficient work of the local
fire company. They point out also
that support of the firemen will re-
suit in future savings if the same
good protection is assured. The

liens who have volunteered to
work in this campaign, and will
appreciate the help of all who real
ize the Importance of fire protec-

NEW AID CAMPAIGN STARTS
National Bank Sponsoring Inform
ative and Historical Series

In this issue of the Smyrna
Times the first of long series of
ads based on the theme: Know
Your Smyrna" appears. Sponsor
ed by the National Bank of Smyr-
ma, the series will include not only
pictures and stories of places of
business, but also facts about
many old buildings in Smyrna and
vicinity. The town is rich in old
houses which are filed with the
charm of earlier days, particularly
of the Revolutionary period, and in
which one senses the quality of the
continuity of life. The walls seem
to speak of the events of the past
which they witnessed, and a close
tie is felt with those who lived in
the early days Of, this country's
life. The purpose Of the series will
be to bring to the public facts
which will be both informative and
historical. Not only will newcom-
ers to Smyrna learn a great deal,
but many who have lived here for
years will read interesting facts
which they never knew. In pre-
senting the commercial ads the
style will depart from the usual ad-
vertising, and it is hoped that all
the readers of the Smyrna Times
will enjoy the stories and pictures,
and will look forward to them each
week. Anyone interested in the

WOMEN'S CLUB
CONFERENCE
Mrs. John L. Whitehurst Ad.
dresses 200 Representatives
of Clubs on Americanism
MEET AT SCHOOL

In an impassioned plea for
Americans to stir out of their
apathy and to begin to fight for
their religion and democracy, Mrs.
John L. Whitehurst, Schairman of
Americanism, General Federation
of Women's Clubs, said that the
whole world is looking at us. She
urged women to instill more patri-
otism and fervor, to know what
the philosophy of communism
means and stands for, the better to
combat it, and she particularly
urged them to vote, and recon-
mended that they do bipartisan
job in their organization, getting
rid of bad practices. "You may
have anything if you have the
will", she told the two hundred
representatives of the women's
clubs of Delaware at the confer
ence held here on Saturday. Wom-
en- have more votes than men, but
they need leadership, she stated.
1--WE are facing more than a fight
for survival, she continued, 1--WE
are fighting for our religion and
way of life." She saw religion in
a practical sense as developing a
moral code. Mrs. Whitehurst call
ed her effort at impressing women
with the threat of communism to
our heritage crusade, seeing the
people as confused, and urging peo-
pie to talk over the issues, as in
town meetings and forums. Touch
ing on the teaching of what COM
