STOCKHOLM, Oct. Is (AP) i.
John Steinbeck won the 1862
Nobel Prize for Literature to-
day.
The 60-year-old California
born author, who rose to fame
with his novel 1.-THE Grapes of
Wrath" is the sixth American

award-this year worth
$49,656.
For 80 years Mr.. Steihbeck
has been turning out best SELL

ming stage plays and films
and gained a reputation as a
chronicler of social justice in
the United States.
His writings in recent years
showed a versatility that
emerged in his latest book,
Travels with Charley" an oft
whimsical story Of U. S. travels
with his dog Charley.
Mr.. Steinbeck, author of 81
books, was cited by the Nobel
Prize committee "for his at

President Kennedy reacted SC
strongly to Russia's missile
buildup in Cuba because the
rocket bases threaten the abil-
ity of the United States to
retaliate in case of a nuclear
attack from the Soviet Union.
Qualified American sources
said today that if Russia had
been able to continue setting up
missile bases in Cuba, it could
have built a force large enough
to send sufficient warheads to
destroy all the Strategic Air
Commands complex of bomberS
and missiles in this country
before they could strike back.
Expansion of Communist in
fluence in the Caribbean and
South America, or addition OF
a few United States cities to
Russia's first-strike target list
= these were minor detectives
compared to the main prize
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
sought, in the judgment OF
these informants.
If the American retaliatory
force could be destroyed in a
first attack by Russia. there
would be no deterrent to keep
the Kremlin from first devaS-
tating the United States and
then taking over the rest of
the world at its leisure.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (AP)
The stock market gave up
part of yesterdays stable gains
in fairly heavy trading today
Prices were lower from the
start in direct contrast to the

yesterdays session. Brokers
said the renewed selling was
partly due to profit taking and
to the non-conciliatory tone OF
Premier Khrushchev's latest
message to President Kennedy
Yesterdays rise was consid-
cred a response to an indirect
report that the Soviet leader
would be willing to talk over
the Cuban situation with the
President.

More important. however, il
was not the added threat Of
nuclear devastation for Amer

President Kennedy's sharp re-
Spouse to the Soviet buildup in
Cuba. 1t was the swiftly-devel-
oping threat to the one nuclear
force that stays the Kremlin's
hand and protects the whole
free world from Communist
conquest.
American officials gave this
oversimplified picture of the
world strategic picture:
At present the Soviet Union

continental ballistic missiles

Union could not now possibly
hope to wipe out enough OF
these forces in a first strike

counterattack.

This version of the real
stakes in the Soviet rocket
buildup in Cuba was laid out
in a deliberate attempt to head
off a rising chorus of jeers
from Europe.
Friendly sources across the
Atlantic repeatedly believe the
President over-reacted to the
Cuban buildup because the

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Oct. Is (AP) Diplomats held
little hope today that Acting
Secretary General U Thant's
call for a freeze in the Cuban
crisis would succeed. The
Soviet Union was expected to
turn it down and the United
States was reported ready to
accept only under certain con-
ditions.
Mr.. Thant told the Security
Council last night he had sent
an appeal to President Kennedy
to suspend the United States
naval blockade and to Premier
KhruShchev to hold up arms
shipments to Cuba for two or
three weeks while the disputants
meet and try to settle their
differences.

Officials Report

The District Commissioners
today announced plans for a
swift buildup' of emergency pro-
visions in hundreds of city
fallout shelters.
District government officials
who attended a special meeting
with Civil Defense aides this
morning released lists of shelter
areas capable of providing fall
out protection for 1.6 million
persons.
Three lists of shelter sites
in Washington were released
by city heads. The first was
the overall list of some 1893
shelter locations-in Federal
and District buildings, schools
and private structures. These
are buildings found by a sur
vey to be suitable for shelter
and could be used in case of
attack.
Schools Included
A second list noted 100 shelter
spots (also included in the
overall list) which have been
licensed and approved for use.
Included in this total were So
school shelters. The Commits
sioners have agreements with
owners of these buildings to use
and stock them.
The third list was Of five
shelter sites which have been
both licensed for use and
stocked with emergency provi-
Sions.
City officials indicated that
the program to stock all 100
licensed shelters will be &C.

would be licensed and stocked
eventually.

collision between the United
States and Russia.
In an effort to break an all
most-certain deadlock over OPP
posing United States and Soviet
resolutions before the Security
Council, two neutral members
of the Council proposed in an
other resolution that Mr.. Thant
confer with the principal par
ties" in the dispute in an at
tempt to ease the crisis.
Both Sides Object
The resolution, put in by
Ghana and the United Arab
Republic, was said to have en-
countered objections from both
the United States and the So
Wet Union.
An informant said the United
States turned down a key
clause calling on both sides to
refrain from any action that
might aggravate the situation.
The United States was said
to feel this could be interpreted
as a Council appeal to lift its
blockade.
The Soviets repeatedly said
they would not approve the
resolution unless they had a
guarantee that the United
States would accept it.

They also have a couple Of

strong defensively.
Nugent's thinking now Is
that when his quarterback
comes out on defense, he'll
wild-card Hrezo or Burton as

his offensive fullback to an
other spot, maybe defensive
end. If this sounds confusing,

The collapse of the NIBL

of the old NIBL powers, like

That means top-rated Denver,
Bartlesville and Akron, Ohio,
