Kier-Crooch PLUMBING CO. 311 Mill Street ' PHONE 1242 ft Use Of Isotopes Builds Hopes Of High Success In Treatment Of Cancer. Dr. Queen States The use of isotopes in the study and treatment of cancer poses grest hopes for the future, said Dr. Frank B. Queen, professor of oncology at the University of Oregon medical school, speaking to a group of state, district, county and local representatives of the American Cancer society Wednesdsy' noon in the Hotel Umpqua. Dr. Queen also addressed a pub lic gathering Wednesday night at the junior high school auditorium on the subject of "What Is Caa cer?" His appearance here is in connection with the forthcoming cancer fund campaign, which will open April 1. Mrs. L. G. Twohy, Douglss coun ty chapter commander, presided at the meeting Wednesday noon and introduced for short talks Dr B. R. Shoemaker, Ed Nolte, Rosj burg campaign chairman, and Mayor Albert G. Flegel. Introduced also was Mrs. William Kletzcr, commander of the Oregon division of the American Cancer I Society, who spoke briefly on the state s program. Cure at Source Sought While surgery has been very ef fective in curing certain types of cancer not previously curable, it is not the solution to the problem, said Dr. Queen. Medical science is searching for a cure which wi'l treat cancer at its source, he said. Dr. Queen, who has long been active in the study of cancer, brief ly reviewed the history of the fight to effect a cure and told of suc cessful methods now in use.

Time, however, is the essence ol cure, he said. Cancer is unique in that it spreads rapidly. Therefore treatment cannot be delayed. For example, he pointed out, one month delay in cancer of the breast may result in 15 percent more chances for death. Cures have increased 10 percent in the last 10 years, but 25 percent more cures are possible if the cases can be reported early enough. For that reason the importance of recognis ing cancer symptoms early is very important. Cancer research since 1933 has made possible cures of 27 percent of lung cancers, previously consid ered incurable, and 10 years ago pancreas cancers were fatal, but now may be cured with early rec ognition and care. Dr. Queen discussed medical cures being used for cancer, and gave a brief discourse on the use of isotopes. Already tried are io dine, cobalt, sodium and phos phorus isotopes, which attack the disease at the source, rather than from the outside as in the cae of X-ray. Also, they make possible greater study of cancer offering the opportunity to trace the course of the isotopes through the body. However, he explained, there are ipore than 500 types of cancers, and many types do not respond to treatment. Dr. Shoemaker, speaking briefly, said the longer life expectancy ot men, now placed at 65 years and for women at 69 years, increases the number of cancer cases. Cau cer is usually considered a disease of older persons. He listed the three known major cures as radi um. X-ray and surgery, and he stressed also that cancer, if taken in time, can be cured. Nolte discussed briefly the Rose burg campaign plans, and Mrs Kletzer discussed the state plans, emphasizing that the campaign lit erature, even if it doea not produce a contribution, serves to educate the general public on recognition of cancer. In attendance also were Mrs. :i E. Sigley, Portland, field represen ' tative of the Oregon division of the I American Cancer society; Mrs. ! John S. Day.

Deportation Of Frank Costello Is Requested Of U. S. NEW YORK, Feb. l--Rob-ert Montgomery, film actor and radio commentator, has asked the government to revoke the U.S. cit izenship of gambler Frank Costel lo, a native of Italy. Montgomery contenda Costello waa a bootlegger for years before he became a citiien in 1925. Montgomery declared in a fed eral court affidavit yesterday that Costello committed fraud when he swore during citiienship proceed ings thst he was a person "of good moral character." Costella, speaking through a law yer, aaid: "In obtaining citizenship In 1925, I committed no fraud. My natur alization proceedings were started in 192327 yeara ago. This report attack on me is a cheap, hammy stunt by a former movie actor turned bad radio commentator who is evidently desperately in need of publicity." Montgomery's sffidavit asked U.S. attorney Irving H. Saypol to begin proceedings to revoke Cos tello' citizenship. If the revocation is ordered, deportation proceedings could be started against the gam bler. Montgomery said he was acting "as a private citizen interested in the welfare of the U.S " He aaid that as a radio commentator he had attacked Costello. Crime investigators in several states have named the 58-year-old Costello as an American under world boss. He has replied that he operates gambling enterprises only where they are legal. Shortly after he became a citi zen, Costello was indicted on a bootlegging charge, but the govern- Idaho Youth Stnttnctd To Life For Sox-Killlna, BURLEY, Idaho, Feb. 15 (.TV-Teen-ager Neale Butterfield was sentenced to life imprisonment Tuesday for the aex-slaying of a seven-year-old Idaho girl. The 16-year-old youth admitted killing Glenda Joyce Brisbois last Nov. 16 to prevent her telling o! aexual liberties he ssid he had taken. District Judge Hugh A. Baker told the boy he waa being spared from death to serve aa a possible model for study by psychiatrists. The former Heyburn high school sthlete stood nervously as he awaited aentence. When he heard the life aentence pronouncement hia face reflected relief. There was no other visible emotion. Judge Baker called the killing "fiendish," but added: "Shall we kill this 16-year-old boy like we would kill a sheep killing dog? "The court regrets thst Glends was the victim of this wanton and merciless crime. Maybe she gave her life to the cause to make every community safe for little girls."

(Pi Two groups of senators were an gling today for some solid esti matea of thia nation's defense strength. They're puzzled, they said, over recent statements that appear to conflict. Their attitude was summed up by Senator Gurney (R-SD) who told a reporter: "I want to know if we are aa strong aa Secretary of Defense Johnson claimed or as week as Secretary of the Air Force Sy mington aaid we are." . Gurney, a former chairman of the Senate Armed Forcea com mittee, and 22 other senators were invited to a top secret session to day in the Pentagon building with military and civilian heada of the Armed services The hush-hush affair, called "a briefing" of the lawmakers, was expected to touch on such sub jects as: . Latest progress in hydrogen snd atomic bombs, new weapons of warfare and immediate needs and plans of the Army, Navy and Air Forces. 2. The relative strength of So viet Russia and tier progress in building submarines, air power and guided missiles. 3. Strategic plana for opposing Communism in Formosa, the Far East, Europe and elsewhere. ThiiM., Feb. U, HSft The News-Review, Roseburg, Or. 7 In a speech at Waco, Tex., Feb. , Symington aaid Ruasia now has the world's largest armies, air force and submarine fleet and added: "Behind the Iron Curtain is the air equipment capable of deliver ing a aurpriae atomic attack against any part of the United Statea. We have no sure defense against such an attack." Just one day later Johnson in an informal speech said if Russia should stage a aurpriae attack at 4 k m. thia country could defend itself wirhin an hour. He added that if Russia started a war the United Sutea was ready "to lick hell" out of her. In another speech yesterday Johnson said U.S. defenses "are in the opinion of the joint chiefs, the President and myself, suffi cient unto the needs of the hour." Earlier this week Senator Lyn don Johnson (D-lex), who accom panied Secretary Symington on his Texas speaking trip, said that Rus sia "is two years, or more ahead" of the U.S. in the development of guided missiles. "For push-button war we have neither the push, nor the button," Senator Johnson declared. ment dropped it after prohibition was repealed in 1933. Montgomery's petition said Cos tello was a big-time bootlegger from 1919 to 1932, and paid no in come taxes in those years on "a very substantial income."
