I Gide Gets Nobel Literary Award ‘ STOCKHOLM~-(By wireless Dr-— i ’Andre Gide. regarded as the fore- i lmost contemporary French author. 1 today was awarded the 1947 Nobel i ‘Prize for Literature. The choice? was widely applauded in Swedishi literary circles. Mr. Gide. the ‘I eighth French writer to win thisi award, was honored by the Swed- I ish Academy "for his extensive and artistically important author ship. in which he has exposed the problems and conditions of human kind with fearless love of truth and psychological perception." ! Sir Edward Appleton, a pioneer ' in radar. received this year's No- i be] Prize in Physics. He was cited i for “his contributions in exploring ‘ ionosphere, i. e.' electrically con-1 ductive strata. in the upper atmos- l phere of the earth."

I The 1947 Nozel Prize in Chemis- I try went to Sir Robert Robinson. ‘ an organic chemist for "his re search regarding biological signifi cant substances from the vegetable kingdom, especially alkaloids." He is Professor at Oxford University. SWedish Press Halls Award To Andre Gide “Although the Swedish Academy { has not forsaken its habit of pref erably giving the literary prize to already greying and honored au thors." writes Ivan Pauli in Morg- ' on-Tidningen. ”M Gide is well I worth the award, because of hisI literary skill and the honest, un-‘ dogmatic idealism that character izes his production—which is not lalways easy to understand.” Sten Selander, noted poet and essayist, g ‘states in Svcnska Dagblndct that 1 this year's choice shows "a free-i idarn from narrow prejudices andL lproves that the Academy has been ! inble to look behind the surface; 'and reach the essential. Right or} wrong. this is a characteristic not ? always associated with academics." E ws * gu'V‘fi“ ‘ *‘W‘m Greetings F. Bragg 8: Go. ORNAMEN'I‘A L IRON “'ORKS Stvilavoqnyfllvd. qtlljpkins Rd.
