Erikson, a psychoanalyst and psychology professor at Harvard University, is known for his introduction of the con-' cept of "identity crisis." His prize-winning book is a psycho-historical inquiry into the origins of Gandhi's theory of militant nonviolence. Erikson was born in 1902, in Germany, of Danish parents and came to the United States at the age of 32. He completed his education and clinical training at the Vienna Psychoanalyt-; ic Institute. The author of many books, he received an honorary degree from Harvard in 1960.

He was born April 11, 1893 in Middletown, Conn. i Acheson recalled that King Alphonso of Spain said if he; had been present at the Creation, he would have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the Universe. This was! the source of the title for his prize-winning book. Williams, born May 19, 1909 in Vinegar Hill, 111., is a history professor at Louisiana State University and the author; of many books dealing with the Civil War. He took his Ph.

Wuorinen received the prize for the work he composed on' the RCA Mark II Synthesizer. After its world premier last year, leading music critics called the work a major statement in its field.

Wuorinen, composer of more than 75 works, was born in New York City in 1938. He was graduated from Columbia' University, where he is now an assistant professor of music. He has won awards from the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, among "I was a reporter, photographer and I believe I even helped sweep out on occasion," he recalled. The diminutive Kinney, whose five-foot-five frame puts him close to jockey size, was named "Photographer of the Year" by the Iowa Press Association in 1968 for his work with the Dubuque Telegraph Herald. In the same year, the National Press Photographer's Association judged Kinney's photographs of the Martin Luther King Assassination the best taken.

He was awarded the association's monthly News Award for his work. Kinney moved to Florida in February 1969 and worked briefly for the Miami Herald before coming to work for The Post in August.

Kinney said the photographer's task be as true to the individual as you possibly can under a very unnatural attempt not to destroy their natural reaction. "A photographer must be secondary, a piece of furniture, he must not intrude," Kinney emphasized. "News photography provides the intimacy and the immediacy that very few other mediums provide in relation to the environment being used," he said. Kinney said his first reaction upon learning he had won the Pulitzer was fright. "There is tremendous responsibility that goes with this.

A photographer, or anyone else in journalism, often feels that he is never as good as his next project. "I can only hope the recognition given to the migrant project will do something to help. Their lives are truly blood, sweatand tears." Robert W. Sherman, president of The Post, and Cecil B. Kelley Post publisher, also had words of praise for the Pulitzer winner.

"It's a tremendous thing for both Kinney and The Post," Sherman said. "It's the type of story that a modern up-to-date newspaper must concern itself with." "I think it's wonderful, A great honor," Kelley said. "We're real proud of the honor." In the field of letters, the drama pr'ze went to Charles Gordone, a Negro playwright, for "No Place to Be Somebody," an off-Broadway play described as "black-black comedy." He tried for three years before he was able to place the drama. Dean Acheson, secretary of state in the Truman administration, won the citation in the field of history for his book, "Present at the Creation; My Years in the State Department."

Erikson became the Pulitzer prize winner in general nonaction with "Gandhi's Truth," an inquiry into the origins of Gandhi's theory of militant nonviolence. Charles Wuorinen's "Time's Encomium" was selected for the music prize. Its world premier was at the Berkshire Festival Aug.

16, 1969. Each of the individual prizes in journalism and the arts carries a $1,000 cash award. Newsday receives a gold medal for the public service prize. The awards were provided for in the will of the late Joseph Pulitzer, founder of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and publisher of the old New York World.

They are made each year by the trustees of Columbia University, upon recommendation of the Advisory Board on Pulitzer prizes. As in the past, the 54th annual Pulitzer prizes were to have been announced at the Columbia School of Journalism which Pulitzer helped found. However, the school was shut down by a student strike over American involvement in Cambodia. As a result, names of the winners were made public in the Columbia Men's Faculty Club, heavily guarded by campus and city police. Outside, about a dozen students displayed a petition against making the award announcements on a day that the strike was on.

Continued from Page Al and The Post accomplishment," Favre said. "Add this to the three national awards won by Kent Pollock and Dallas, and the state and regional awards won by several members of The Post staff and it adds up to quite a collection for a newspaper. "And it is our hope that it all adds up to a great newspaper for our community," the editor emphasized. "We will work even harder to live up to this tribute paid by our peers." Kinney had words of praise for Favre and Post Managing Editor David Lawrence Jr. "The most important fact is two editors who allowed us to do this series," Kinney said.

"I think this is somewhat miraculous i this day a nd age. "At the time the migrant series ran, Dallas' pictures, which dealt with a very controversial subject, received a great deal of reaction," Lawrence said. "But this is the job of a good newspaper to be involved in the stories that deal with human emotions and human existence. "The Pulitzer judges thought so and we thought so," the managing editor said. "We're very happy and proud of Dallas and everybody who works at The Post.

It shows we're on our way to becoming a great newspaper." Kinney, who studied dramatic arts at the University of Iowa for three years, entered photography as a profession in a roundabout way. He was a professional dancer and did a song and dance routine for two years in Chicago and then moved to New York to try his luck in the big He became involved in photography through a Chicago free-lancer who did the publicity shots for his act. Becoming interested in photography, shooting and dark room techniques, Kinney gave up show business and moved to Carmel, where he worked as a public relations photographer for a year and a half. Kinney's first photo-journalism came in 1965 when he became something of a utility man for the Washington (Iowa) Evening Journal. AFL-CIO Backs Blackmun Glenn, Wallace On Firing Line Senate confirmation seems swift and certain.

Meany also said the AFL-CIO was concerned that Blackmun had heard cases involving companies in which he owned stock. But Meany noted Blackmun "subsequently decided that his action was unwise and informed the Judiciary Committee of his intention to dispose of his stock holdings. It is our view that in light of all the circumstances, this error does not disqualify him. Meany announced his support for Blackmun's nomination in a letter to Sen. James Eastland (D-Miss), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The AFL-CIO, whose opposition was instrumental in helping defeat the Supreme Court nominations of Clement F. Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell, yesterday endorsed Judge Harry A. Blackmun for the job. AFL-CIO President George Meany made it clear the labor federation was not completely happy with Blackmun's record on labor cases, but said President Nixon "has, on balance, made a responsible choice" in selecting the 61-year-old judge from the 8th Circuit Court -of Appeal.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to approve Blackmun's nomination unanimously this morning and full By The Associated Press Two names that became household words in the 1960s George C. Wallace and John Glenn command attention again today as the 1970 political season gets into high gear with important primaries in Alabama and Ohio. Wallace seeks a return to the governorship of Alabama in an effort to keep his name alive for an expected 1972 repeat of his 1968 third-party presidential bid. Opinion polls show him trailing his former protege, incumbent Gov. Albert Brewer, in a contest that may hinge on the state's 300,000 registered black voters.

In Ohio, John Glenn, first American to orbit the earth, tries to convert the national hero's image into votes as he contests a wealthy Cleveland industrialist, Howard Metzenbaum, for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate. And the bearer of one of the most illustrious names in American politics, Rep. Robert A. Taft battles Ohio Gov.

James A. Rhodes for the Republican senatorial nomination. Killings yesterday in a Guardsmen student confrontation on the campus of Kent State University added a last-minute, complicating factor to this contest. The races in both states could have far-reaching national impact and all are rated tossups at this point. A Wallace defeat in Alabama would considerably tarnish his national importance as he looks forward to another run for the presidency.

The results in Ohio will decide a general election lineup that will be a bellwether in the fight for control of the Senate. The GOP counted its blessings Saturday in Texas when liberal Democratic Sen. Ralph Yarborough lost to a conservative challenger, former Rep. Lloyd Bentsen whom the Republicans claim they will have an easier time defeating in November with Rep. George Bush.
