Photosynthesis
Solution Seen
BY FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Reporter


GENEVA, Aug. 1l.-Sovie
scientists told the atoms-for'
peace conference today they be-
lieve they are on the verge o.
solving the mystery of photosy
ntheSis - natures ingenious
method of feeding the world.
A. L. Kursanov told the 70
nation parley that the Russians
using radioactive isotopes a:
tracers in plant studies, have
found out a number of things
about the process in which greer
plants under sunlight convert
carbon dioxide and water intt
the sugars and starches thai
men and animals eat.
Men of science have lone
sought the secret of this process
hoping to duplicate it artiflcially
as a help with the worlds fooc
problems. American scientists
also have reported progress TO-
ward working out the puzzle.
Mr.. Kursanov described the
Soviet findings as preliminary
to the decisive step in the direc-
ton of disclosing the mystery Of
photosynthesis and Of mastering
this process"
This probably will take place
in the near future" he added.
Color Influence Seen
Mr.. Kursanov reported that
the Russians have found that
proteins as we'll as carbohydrates
are direct products of photo
synthesis in plant leaves. He
said that carbohydrates are
formed under the influence Of
the red and yellow parts OF SUM-
light while proteins are formed
under the influence Of blue light
This latter finding, he said
could be used in dollhouse design
to influence the quality anc
quantity Of plants.

.AssuuIter Gets
5 to 15Yeur

A laborer yesterday was given
the maximum 5-to-15 years for
assaulting a 23-year-old woman
in rape attempt at the Dupont
Circle underpass last February
%.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia pronounced
the sentence upon Bruce Exum,
So, colored, shortly after the
guilty verdict was returned by a
jury.
The judge said it was needless
to delay sentence. as is done
ordinarily, pending a probation
Office report.
This was vicious act" the
judge declared. The streets of
the city must be made safe for
citizens"
Assistant United States At
torney Victor Caputy had called
to the stand eyewitnesses to the
assault. One of them was Will
liam o. Kendall. %, of 2l10
o street NV, who held Exum
after Mr.. Kendall's attention
was drawn by the girls screams.
EXum's defense was that he
was drunk and merely stumbled
againt the girl.
