Two American Jews were among the 1961 Nobel Prize recipients, awarded here today. They are Dr. Melvin Calvin, professor of chemistry at the University of California, at Berkeley; and Dr. Robert Hofstadter, a Stanford University physicist, who shared his prize with a German scientiest, Dr. Rudolf Mossbauer. Dr. Calvin is the son of Jewish immigrants who came to the United States from Lithuania 60 years ago.
