said, comforting, courageous

Two Americans and West German

STOCKHOLM, ,NoV. Q. CAP).
The Nobel Prize for physics
was awarded Jointly today to
two atomic scientists, one an
American, the other a West
German. The prize for chemis-

his research in photosynthesis,
a basic life process. All three
men are working in California.
Sharing the physics prize are
DR.. Robert Hofstadter of Stan

chemistry prize went to DR..
Melvin Calvin of the University

The prizes are worth 250,OO0
Swedish crowns ($48,300). The
atomic scientists will split that
amount. The awards complete
the list of prizes for 1861.
DR.. Hofstadter worked as a
physicist with the National Bu-

Mr.. Rodericks said. He added
that these shelters are not
stocked with food, water or
other supplies.
ANY shelter protection is
better than nothing, but you
can escape fatal radiation and
still die of hunger or thirst if
you don't have supplies" the
civil defense director said.
15-Minute Notice
Mr.. Rodericks said notice of
an enemy nuclear attack may
be as short as Is minutes.
Many persons who work in
downtown offices might not
have time, to get home. Even
if they have built their own
private fallout shelters, they
may not be able to reach them

Mr.. Rodericks said his office
will be happy to furnish in
formation on what minimum
supplies should be kept handy
by every individual for use in
a shelter.
The civil defense director
said he keeps his own canned
food and other supplies avail
able at his office. He added
that many other Washington
residents concerned about the
possibility Of nuclear attack
have been doing the same
thing.
Easements MAY Serve
Mr.. Rodericks suggested that
the managers of large build
Iings here could have fact
sheets mimeographed advising
their tenants that shelter space
is available in the basement;
or other locations in these
buildings.
A considerable number o.

The Soviet delegate repeated
earlier assertions that the
Kremlin had resumed testing

of what he called warlike
activities of the Western powers

"It could not fail to take these
steps without jeopardizing the
vital security of the Soviet
Union and the other Socialist

The committee was expected
to vote tomorrow, when it
seemed likely the proposed
moratorium would win approval
despite United States and
Soviet opposition. It has re-

.JFK-MacMiIlan Search Way to Strengthen NATO

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy and British Prime Min ister Harold MacMillan agreed today that the Western Powers need to close ranks in the face of Soviet threats and pressures. They began search for ways of strengthening political consulta- ton within the North Atlantic Alliance.
 The 67-year-old Prime Minister and the 43-year-old President met for two hours at the White House on the first of a series of con- ferences which Kennedy hopes, over the next several months, will reinforce allied unity for dealing with new cold war crisis.
 Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Kennedy adviser on NATO problems, participated in today's discussion. The talk cover ed the creation of a nuclear striking force under the NATO command, made up of U. S.-sup- piled, submarine-based Polaris missiles. But informants said that was not discussed in detail.
 American and British officials agreed, in separate talks with re- porters after the meeting, that the President and Prime Minister were in accord on the need for greater consultation. Indications were that they might reach some conclusions on how to remedy this weakness in allied -mak- ing before their meeting here winds up on Saturday.

 About g U. s. citizens are re- ported to be in Cuban prisons under various sentences.
 The jails are already over crowded with Cubans imprisoned by the pro-Communist Castro government.
 State Department press officer Joseph Reap said he does not know whether the Americans are getting worse treatment than the others, or whether their food SUD- ply had been cut to the point of starvation.
