Causes Of Increase In Cancer . ..
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE .
AisocUtcd Prcu Scltnct Editor
NEW YORK UP) The kind of hoes people wear may be one
cause of the Increase in cancer, says Dr. S. J. Wikler, Baltimore
chiropodist. ' . . .. ',
He says the widespread increase in cancer is not more than 80
years pld, and that H coincides with the start of manufacture of
modern shoes. , , ,

Gov. Langlie Tells
Of State Deficit
OLYMPIA, UP) In a frank
discussion of the state's finan
cial situation Governor Langlie
told county welfare administra
tors that:
"For the first time in history
the state faces a really huge de
ceit.' He said the state had a deficit
of $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 once
before but it now seems small
because "this time we face a
$60,000,000 to $70,000,000 deficit."
Because of inadequate account
ing procedures, he said, it is dif
ficult to use definite figures but
this is known:
The key general fund had a
i surplus of $32,00,000 at the be
I ginning of this bionnium;
) Spending from that fund is ex
) ceeding income at the rate of
approximately $2,500,000 a mon
th. The surplus In the fund is rap
idly shrinking away.
Approximately 43 percent of
the money spent from the gener
al fund goes for the social secur
ity program.
To meet the situation, he call
ed upon the welfare administra
tors to "strengthen your ability
to cut off the SDieot of inflow
onto the public assistance rolls."
He cited abuses in the exlstinp
social security law and asked
the administrators to thoroughly
screen all applicants for assis
tance, weeding out those who can
take care of themselves and giv
ing maximum aid to those who
really need help.
"You can do a job and help
save the situation until we get a
new law under which we can
give an adequate public assis
tancee program to take care of
our aged, our blind and our de
pendent children within the abi
lity of the people to pay."
He Invited the administrators
to shoot answers at him.
. One by one he explained or re
peated, his previous-views on the
possibility of a special session of
the legislature, income taxes, or
unknown funds that might be
available for relief purposes.
None of the proposals carry
the answer to the immediate pro
blem, he said. .
Shoes,' he says, render, toes
puny and helpless. This In turn
atrophies a set of muscles con
nected with toe action down to
one-third or less their normal
size. Modern heels are elevated,
throwing the weight forward,
and this, he says, is unnatural.
Dr. Wlkler says 80 per cent of
Americons have foot disordeis.
Feet twist outward. Thigh bones
do likewise. So the pelvis dips
downward a bit, chests tend to
flatten and lungs, hearts and
stomachs and abdominal organs
are pulled down a little. '
In fact, he says, there is hardly
a square Inch of your body that
remains unaffected from faulty
feet. . '
The result is added stresses and
these In turn may cause irrita
tion of tissues. Irritation, long
continued, is one of the occepted
causes of cancer.
Supporting Evidence J
Dr. Wikler gives cancer death
rates to show that they are high
er wherever people wear shoes
most.
"The cancer death rate," ha
says, "in southern states like
North and South Carolina is 57
per 100,000 while in Massachu
setts It zooms to 168 per 100,000.
This difference can be explained
by the fact that southern chil
dren go barefooted a large part
of the year and so develop
strong, sturdy feet that ' even
wearing modern shoes as adults
connot distort to the extent of
northern experience.
"Switzerland has the highest
rate of 176 per 100,000. The Swiss
shoe industry is jilghy organized
and they make a shoe which gives
the foot a great deal of support
and consequently causes a great
deal of damage and deteriora
tion, i
"The United States has a can
cer death rate of 120.2 per .100,
000 while Hawaii has 67.2. The
cancer rate in Hawaii is as high
as it is only because American
shoes are used when' Hawaiian
children reach their middle teens
and adult life." .
'HONOR FOR LINDBERGH

cant public service of enduring

Ike Still Says,
'No Connection
With Polities'
HOUSTON. UP) General
Dwight Elsenhower said Wednes
day he wants no connection with
politics but wants to take an ac
tive part in public affairs.
He told a news conference:
"If I identified or affalllated
:r.;r?!f with any political 'party
I'd lose a lot of friends and I'm
not going to do ,that."
Eisenhower arrived from San
Antonio to speak before an. ex
pected crowd of 15,000 at the
Chamber of Commerce annual
meeting.
He said his speech will . be
"rambling observation of a sol
dier." The general touched on poll
tics when asked if a large
amount of his personal mail con
tained requests that he seek the
presidency.
Eisenhower replied that his
mail is heavy and that manv
people; without mention of politi
cal affiliation, write him about
particular problems.
"Many of them," he said,
"want sympathy toward these
problems." .
Then he added:
"I have no political connections,
no political ambitions and don't
want any connection with poli
tics," He emphasized, however, ho
will take an active interest In
public affairs in that he thinks
American people "should be talk
ing principles and not in gen
eralities. Asked to be more specific, he
said the public should be talking
about:
1. Where does deficit spending
lead us?
2. How should we look at the
Indian etiquette required that
when a tribal chief raised a tot
em pole he stage lavish cere
monies and bestow many gifts on
his guests. The ceremony was
called a potlatch.

Flshwheel Gold Strike Suspended By Wintry Blasts
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, UP)
Whatever became of the Fish
wheel Gold strike?
Howling Arctic winds and sub
zero temperatures have the ans
wer to that question clutched
closely to their frigid bosoms.
Oldtimer Sam Gamble and1 Ed
Farrell, who held hopes of a
genuine "strike" up until last
week, have returned to Fair
banks. They declared wryly that noth
ing can be determined until
spring, but "prospects look pret
ty bleak."
Drilling operations recent
ly stopped at 50 feet when warm
Chinook winds thawed the Yukon
river ice and backed water over
the drill holes.
The strike started back in Oc
tober when Clifton Carroll found
a few nuggets attached to the
muck on the axle of his flshwheel
some 30 miles south of Fort Yu.
