Hollywood and the romance
magazines will be unhappy to
learn that secretaries are not
interested In having oflice ro
. mances with their bosses. This
is the word that came out ot
the convention of the National
Secretaries Association in
Washington, D. C. One young
lady said, "Most secretaries
are glad to leave their bosses,
after eight hours." . This is a
nasty blow to the modern Cin
derella story. If it is taken .
seriously it will ruin more
movies than loud popcorn bags
do. Can you imagine crowds
enjoying . a show where the
gal's idea is to get through
work and rush home to curl up
with a good book?

Cancer Operation
On Color Video
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK UP) Watching a
surgeon rescue a dying woman
from the tentacles of cancer Is
an unforgettable sight
I had this e?3erience over the
weekend along with a number of
newsmen and 1,000 doctors in
vited to the demonstration by the
American Cancer society.
It was done by television, us
ing a color process developed by
the Columbia Broadcasting sys
tem. And it proved whatever
the immediate commercial fu
ture of color television may be
that this form of video already
is of value in teaching surgical
techniques.
The viewing screens were set
up in the Blltmore hotel. The
television camera- itself was 23
blocks away, trained on an op-
erating table in Memorial hos
pital. The surgeon was Dr. Alexan
der Brunschwig,, a famous can
cer expert The woman, about
51, was unidentified. She had
agreed in advance to allow the
operation to be televised, hoping
It would be of value to the as
sembled doctors.
"This Is in no sense a cure,"
explained Dr. Brunschwig. "Her
case is nopeiess. Kadiation nas
failed. She is in pain, and this
operation will relieve that"
He spoke through a microphone
attached to his throat. The cam
era showed only his hands and
the patient's abdomen as he
swiftly made his incision.
Huge Mass Removed
Opening the body cavity, he
discovered the malignant tumor
had spread through most of the
woman's lower organs. The tis
sues stood out in clear relief un
der color television. But when
ever the camera switched back
to black-and-white, they came al
most indistinguishable.
Quickly, cutting here, putting
clamps there, he freed the ma
lignant mass. Its size drew a gasp
from the audience. To remove it
the surgeon had to take out the
cervix, bladder, and part of the
colon and intestine.
"Now we have taken out all the
tumerous tissue visible to the
naked eye," said Dr. Brun
schwig. His Inference was clear
there were other malignant ar
eas impossible to reach with the
knife. The blue-black cancer
spots on the excised organs show
ed clearly on the screen.
"There is some question as to
whether radical operations of this
nature are worthwhile," the sur
geon said, calmly, as he sewed
up the severed blood vessels.
"But we learned something
from them. And some patients
have lived more than two years
are still alive after such oper
ations.
"The patient Is relieved of pain
and restored to usefulness for a
time at least In any case we
don't philosophize about it too
much. We do for each individual
what we can."
And the picture faded from the
screen as the 3urgeon went about
the routine task of sewing up his
patient
Later that day I sat before an
other TV set and watched Notre
Dame sink the Navy at footbal,
40 to 0. It's an eerie thing tele
vision, catching. a life and death
drama in the morning, football
In the afternoon.
All through the same I kent
thinking of the unknown lady in
the hospital, who can't live very
long but at least won't hurt for
a while. I wonder what she will
do with the time she has left?
