Nobel Prize for 1961 Presented to Two American Jewish Scientists

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.
