Harvard, British Professors Share Nobel Medicine Prize
Stockholm—(U.P.)—A Harvard university professor, Fritz A. Lipmann, and Dr. Hans Adolf Krebs of Sheffield university in England, won jointly the 1953 Nobel prize in medicine today for their work on the body's basic organism—the human cell.
Both scientists are German-born They will divide the price of $33,840.
Lipmann discovered a working substance in the cell called "oenzym A," which was known to exist but never had been isolated and investigated.
Krebs is credited with collecting many scattered findings regarding the cell and formulating them into a single theory. He was mentioned as a leading candidate for the prize last year, but lost out to another British scientist.
Lipmann's discoveries solved a group of problems connected with the fat and carbohydrate metabolism of the human body.
The two were named today by the faculty of the Caroline institute, Sweden's medical academy, to share this year's award.
Lipman has been professor of biological chemistry at the Harvard University Medical school since 1949.
Born at Koenigsberg, Germany, in 1899. Lipmann received his medical degree in 1922 and a Ph.D. in 1927 from Berlin university. He went to the United States in 1939 and was naturalized in 1944.
Krebs, professor of biochemistry at Sheffield, was born at Hildesheim, Germany, in 1900 but now is a British subject.
AmericanDies In DC-3 Crash
Monterrey, Mexico —(UP)— Two newspapermen who reached the isolated scene where a Mexican government plane crashed Monday said today they tentatively identified 13 of at least 15 victims.
They were unable to identify J. Clifford Safley, editor of the San Diego (Calif.) Union, the only American believed to be aboard the plane, or Carlos Vilantez of the newspaper El Universal of Mexico City.
Gregorio Salazar and Alberto Benavides, employed by a Monterrey newspaper, said they made identifications of 13 bodies through credentials, wrist bands and plane tickets.
At least two and possibly more bodies or parts of bodies were strewn around a 1300-foot area on the outside 20 miles north on Monterrey.
Gen, Alejo Gonzales, who directed the search by nearly 500 men, said helicopters may be needed to retrieve items from the wild, inaccessible area.
The DC-3 was en route from Mexico City to the dedication of Falcon Dam on the Rio Grande which was dedicated Monday by President Eisenhower and President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines of Mexico. It crashed shortly after taking off from a stop at Monterrey.
E. J. Rogers, American Airlines operations manager, said he personally helped Safley aboard when the plane took off after a stop at Monterrey.
