L. T. OLDS, FISHER: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1963 Good Evening Everybody: The Nobel Prizes annoMxced today in Stocklaolm - show the prevaili,ag trends ht pl,ysics and cllemislry. The physicists are especially concerned with - tlae s true lure of the atom. TIie cllemisls lend to co,acenlrate on those larger building-bloclts of ,,.alter - the molecules. So its not sr,rprisi,ag that all three Nobel t,laysicists have been experimenth,g - witlt sub-atomic particles. Maria Goet,pert-Mayer of 1 ; . e University of Califor,aia, specializing i,a - the shell struct ■ re of tlle a tom ic ,auc l eus. Her partner, Hans Je,asen of Heidelberg sharing the Nobel Prize for tlte same work . As for Professor Eugene Wigner of Pri,rceton - Stockholm cites leis theor y of the forces that hold the atom together . LEAD - 2 The Nobel Prize for chemistry goes to Professor Karl Ziegler of Muhlheim, West Germa,ry - a,ad Giulio Natta of Milan, both molecr,le me,r. Instead of P-ro bi,rg down in to the atom, these ch em is ts have bew,a sl,owiJtg 1,ow atoms congregate - to form molecules, a,ad molecules - to form the objects we see arou,r.d 11•. PLAGUE From Dacca, East Pakistan - word of a cholera epidemic. Six hundred deaths - in the past month. And the toll 1s growing - because the Pakistanis have run out or vaccine. Hardest hit - Bogra, far to the northeast or Dacca. They say•~ the people or Bogra - are desperate, and even resorting t o - . ancient methods or containing an epidemic. Those who are well - attempting to cordon themselves orr tr011 the stricken. The primeval rear - or contamination. Cholera - ln Pakistan. That age-old scolll'ge or Hindustan - the plague. RED CHINA The harraasment or Red China by Nationalist China has become so intense - that Peking is beginning to complain. Not so long ago, Mao Tse Tung scoffed at the idea - of the mainland being attacked by Chiang Kai-Shek's commandos. How the strong man of Red China is warning neighboring states- not to let those commandos operate from their soil. Apparently this means the nations around the Chin••• border - from South Korea to Burma - but Taipeh denies that , d v , ~ ~ have been involved - in any nationalist military operation. The commandos, all setting sail - from Formosa. IDEOLOGY In the ideological dispute betieen Russia and Red China - the Russians are now adopting a patronizing attitude. Moscow, saying magnanimously - that Peking can have another chance. Khrushchev, ready to welcome Mao Tse- Tung - back into the Leninist fold. As soon as Mao recants - and asks to be a restored to the Communist movement as a member in good standing. Pravda said all this~ today. The tone ot the editorial indicating - that Mao la in real trouble at home. Hence - no threat to Soviet Communism. From which follows - lal the patronizing tone that we haven't heard before. ~- What 1f Mao - doesn't recant? '~olation tor him" - according to Pravda. "Isolation - from the other Communist parties of the world." WEST BERLIN The fear in the ca/)itals of the /re• a,orld tonight - is tllal the so-called "Spirit of Mosco•'' May be com i,1g to an end. Killed by Soviet /)rovocations - over West Berlin. Tl,e "St,irit of Mosco•" refers to tl,e bett•r cll•ate of o/)lnlon - ca.,sed by tl,e signheg of tl,e NMcl••r Test Ban Treaty.

Direction of the flight - over the Alps to Switzerland. Italian businessmen, afr a id of a swing to the left - in the Rome government. Moving their money to Swiss banka - juat in case. Thia "Flight of ' the Lira 11 - weakening the national economy. Forcing today's - resignation - by Premier Leone, who aaya that the first job facing hla successor wlll be - an emergency budget. The problem ls - to get a successor. The Soc1al1ata are setting stiff tel'IIIIS for their support a coalition government. MADAME MHU FOLLOW LOOOE ~ . lhe widow of the late President or South Vietnam - la preparing to leave America. Madame Nhu, on her way to Rome - and a reunion with her three youngest children. They having been flown t'rom Saigon to the Eternal City - following the coup that overturned the Diem regime. Where next - fn tor Madame lfhu? She expects to ret - to America. And then go on - to South Viet Ham. The redoubt- able Lady or Vietnamese politics, vowing that she won't be exiled - from her homeland in Southern Asia. LODGE Here's a story that seems to have an obvious headline. 11 Brahmin from Boston - meets Brahmins of Saigon." Ah, but there's a catch. Henry Cabot Lodge is indeed• a Boston Brahm1n. But the Buddhist monks he met today ln the Saigon temple - they're not Brahmins.at.1alt:~ Brahmins are -- Hindus. Devotees of the older religion of Hindustan that refused to accept the creed of Buddha - the Indian prince a who became the Ught of Asia. You don't find many Hindus - in South Viet Nam. You do find - a lot or Buddhists. And the monks or the Yellow Robe today gave the American Ambassador an enthusiastic reception - when he visited their temple in Saigon. VOTING Perhaps the most interesting developmertt ao far in today's voting is that a former President of Ill• United States - managed to get ltimself disfraacltised. Dwigllt D.
