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

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.

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.
Drs. LlndtR Prepare) To
Occupy Clinic Building
The offices of Drs. E. E. and
Nels Lindell will be closed, ex
cept for emergencies, the re
mainder of this week.
The closure is being made
while medical and office equip
ment is being transferred from
their former offices in the Medi
cal Arts building to their new
clinio building, located at the
southeast corner of Douglas and
Washington streets.
The doctors announce they will
reopen for business Tuesday,
Jan. 3. The new building has just
been completed by the Todd
Building company.

breakfast at his home here, lunch
in Chicago and dinner in Sprinst

home again in time for a mid
night snack.
He uses one of the university's

speaking appointments on sched

without he air service it would
require three equally qualified
men to do the same job.
