WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ak) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today accused the White House of suppressing foreign policy documents which might hurt the election chances of Vice President Richard M. Nixon.

Fulbright charged that the administration was deliberately withholding two major groups of documents: the text of Nixon's conversations with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in Russia last year and evaluation reports by the U.S. Information Agency on American prestige abroad.
FULBRIGHT accused the administration of violating bipartisanship in foreign policy. He warned at a news conference that if Nixon won the election, Democrats in Congress would not forget the "deception."
Two Scientists Gain Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM — (UPI) — Two scientists from England and Australia won the 1960 Nobel prize for medicine and physiology today for their work in breaking an "immunity barrier" so human organs may be transplanted from one person to another.
The scientists are Prof. Peter Brian Medawar of London and Sir Frank MacFarlane Burnet of Melbourne. They will share prize money of $43,625.
Both are specialists in immunology. They were honored for their discovery of immunological patterns in the human body and the method by which these patterns may be overcome to permit transplant operations.
The prizewinners were announced after a two-hour meeting of the teachers college of the Caroline Medico Cirurgical Institute.
Burnet and Medawar were invited to ceremonies Dec. 10—the birth date of prize donor Alfred Nobel—to receive their awards from King Gustaf Adolf of Sweden.
Burnet and Medawar are the discoverers of acquired immunological tolerance, considered one of the most remarkable feats in the history of immunology.
Panda's Sex Baffles Zoo
LONDON — (UPI) — The London zoo would like to mate Chi-chi's giant panda — one of the rarest and most valuable animals in the world — but it has run into one little problem.
No one seems to be able to tell whether five-year-old Chi-chi is a boy or a girl.
TODAY IN its special concrete pen, as befits the star of the biggest zoo of them all. Chi-chi loped around like a cuddly, black and white toy teddy bear, for all its 200 pounds, under the keen eyes of veterinarians and keepers.
They were trying to decide, without risking a swipe from the giant panda's three-inch long claws, to what sex it belonged.
"Looks like a male," said the veterinarians.
"Definitely a female," said the keepers.
Chi-chi, who cost the zoo $33,500,
is one of only five giant pandas in
captivity. There are two each in
the Peiping zoo and the Moscow
zoo.
THERE ARE probably not more than 100 other giant pandas living in the wild state in their native habitat, the remote, chilly mountains of Northern Chirica.
Officials of the London zoo are pinning their hopes on blood samples for a clue to the sex of Chi-chi. But in the meantime they have written Peiping asking whether anyone there knows an easy method of telling the difference between a lady and a gentleman giant panda.
Fulbright's charge came as a member of a hush-hush presidential committee confirmed that an effort was underway to measure U.S. prestige abroad. One report on the study said it showed a loss of standing.
Confirmation of the committee's existence and investigation came from C. D. Jackson, publisher of Life magazine and a member of the group. This came after the Washington Post and Times-Herald reported that the panel had found that U.S. prestige "has been unquestionably on the decline" since Russia launched Sputnik in 1957.
JACKSON, while confirming that a "prestige" report existed, said it had not yet been submitted to the President.
He said "it would be premature to comment on the report until it has been submitted" by Mansfield D. Sprague, vice president of American Machine & Foundry Co., who heads the committee appointed by the President last December.

The Post and Times-Herald said in a front-page story that the committee had already concluded that U.S. prestige had declined and that charts to that effect had been submitted to the White House. But a source close to the Sprague group said the report was not finished.
