I The News-Review, Rosoburg, Oro.Thurs., Dm. 29, 194 Discovery Of Fungi Growth In Cancers Told At Meeting . By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE AnocUUd rnu SctanM Editor NEW YORK IM Discovery of fungi, tiny Invisible pltnts, growing In cancen wu announced to the American Association tor the Advancement of Science. The diicovery It one of the most startling of this amtury. The cancer fungi are the same that grow all around us, In soil, food, plants and trees. They have been found In every cancer tested. The tests embraced 20 human cancers, Including four different kinds, and iuu mice cancers. The fungi never have been found in any healthy tissue, with one exception. They show In breasts of those species of female mice which are susceptible- to breast cancer. The discovery was reported by Dr. Irene Corey Diller of the In stitute for Cancer . Research, Philadelphia. She is one of the major research contributors to the American Cancer society. Dr. Diller showed enlarged pic tures of the fungi. One Is a black fungus, common in soil and milk products, named altenarla. An other is grey, common in the tropics known as syncephalas trum racomosum. Dr. Diller said that how this tropical form got into Philadelphia cancers is . a mystery.. There are also some common yeast fungi not yet identified. Dr. Diller cautioned against accepting results so far as proof that fungi cause cancer. "A great deal more work must , - DRESSMAKING ALTERATIONS Zot Newman 925 Cobb St. ., . Phone 387-R be done," she said. "A single re search group could spend years exhausting the Implications of these findings.' To millions of Americans, cancer research Is a matter of tragic urgency." Kills Animals Quickly One queer fact has developed. The tropical fungus, when taken from cancers and injected into cancer-susceptblie strains of mice, kills the animals in a few days. It doesn't cause cancer when so injected, but poisons the mice. After the same fungus has been cultivated outside the bodies of animals for some generations It gradually loses Its power to cause death. In mouse leukemia, which Is like the blood cancer of humans, all the body organs except the heart contained a yeast-like fungus. Dr. Diller reported that just be fore this century Began many in vestigators reported they had dis covered fungi in cancers. But these reDorts were not verified. She said the fungi have escaped notice since then Because oi aim- culties in detection. They have been mistaken, she said, : for broken-down blood vessels. Use of new stains revealed the fungi. Dr. Diller said that fila ments from these growths can be seen running from one cancer cell to another. Sometimes the fila ments push Into a tissue cell, and wind around the cell's nucleus.

THE TIME: 10:30 a.m. THE DATE: FRIDAY, JANUARY 6th THE PLACE: At the RoMtburg Interstate Start I h i L fli I I fls m J CLT i i dascas GEE) I Compensation Hike Mailing To Occur January 1 Increases in disability and death compensation for veterans and their dependents, voted by the 81st Congress, in most cases will be received in checks issued for the month of December, ac cording to the Veterans admin istration. Checks will be mailed the first of January. Following is a brief summarv of the changes in disability and death compensation payments re sulting from new legislation: Largest group to get Increases is composed of veterans with service-connected disabilities rat ed from 10 percent to 100 percent in degree, including the service disabled of World Wars I and II and veterans disabled as the re sult of peacetime service subse quent to July 13, ltfua. Average increase Is 8.7 percent. Widows receiving compensation because of the service-conneceu death of a veteran, and who have one or more children, also will get Increases. Dependency allowances, previ ously allowed only for veterans drawing compensation for serv ice connected disabilities rated 60 percent or more, have now been extended under the new law to those veterans rated 50 to 60 per cent disabled. New legislation also grants an Increase in disability compensa tion payable to World War I vet erans whose disabiltles are clas sified under law as "presumed" to be due to service. These vet erans formerly were entitled to only 75 percent of the rates pay able for direct service-connected disabilities. They are now restor ed to the full rate. More liberal, statutory disabil ity ratings have been provided in cases of service-connected, ar rested tuberculosis. i The law also liberalizes "line-of-duty" requirements as they ap ply to service personnel whose disease, injury or death was in curred (not due to willful mis conduct) while in confinement under sentence of court martial or civil court Such cases will be adjudged llne-of-duty, provid ed the court martial sentence did not involve an unremitted dishon orable discharge, or a civil court sentence not involving a felony.
