Cancer Incidence Geographical Location, Medic Says By Alton L. OXFORD, Ens., UP) Some keyi our noses, just waiting to be grasped meonidis says and these keys are graphic. They are the many peculiar differences in various countries of said. Liver cancer hits one nation harder than another. Breast can cer is common in some countries but rare in others. "If we can learn why these dif-1 ferences occur, then we snail nave clues to human cancer, and could find ways to prevent it," said Dr. Symeonidis, special advisor of the geographical pathology unit, Nat ional Cancer institute, Bethesda, Md., ' He is one of 20 experts from nine countries meeting here to plan a new attack on cancer, using these geographican keys. The sym posium was intiated by the council for coordination of international conferences of medical sciences. It is sponsored by the United Na tions Economic and Social council and the World Health organiza tion. i "Nature has set up the experi ment for us," Dr. Symeonidis said. "These Striking differences in the body locations of cancer occur na turally. It is like laboratory exper iments with animals, in which we produce cancer in some animals, and learn the reason why. "But nature gives us the chance "for a new and direct attack on human cancer, for her 'guinea pigs' are humans themselves. "Cancer of the liver is frequent in Greece, but rare in Germany. Cancer of the cervix (neck of the womb) is rare in Jewish women, frequent in non-Jewish women. "Cancer of the spleen often oc curs in North Africa, but is rare in the United States and Europe. Cancer of the breast is rare in China, Japan and North Africa, but is one of the most common types of cancer in Europe and the United States." Accurate Data Needed. "We hope to organize interna tional teams of scientists to study some of these differences. We must learn what the facts are, and why the differences occur. Know ing that, wc shall probably find some causes of cancer, or clues to them, and can prevent much cancer. "We need good statistics o n cancer and its types. We need careful investigations, and animal experiments to try to duplicate the human findings. We also need microscopic studies of any differ ences in the cancers of the breast or liver in one country as com pared with another." A few such studies already are underway. The geographical path ology unit at Bethesda, the first of its kind in the world, is cooper ating with hospitals in New York and in Israel in studies of cancer of the cervis in Jewish and non Jewish women, be said. Officer Retired As Cancer Victim May Regain Duty WASHINGTON P) A 30-year-old navy officer who was re tired three years ago after being told he would shortly die of can cer would be restored to active duty under a bill passed by the Senate. The bill, approved yesterday, doesn't tell much of the story. It says only that its purpose is to restore Lt. Comdr. Edwin M. Rosenberg to the active rolls of the navy. An accompanying committee report says that Rosenberg was re- urea in 1947 "due to a physical disability which was presumed to be permanent and fatal within a relatively short time." Rosenberg, who watched from the Senate gallery while his bill was approved unanimously and sent on to the House, filled in the gaps: After serving on baby aircraft . carriers in the Pacific, he was sent to the Boston naval hospital for examination in 1946. Doctors told him he had cancer, might not live , more than two weeks. He was given radiation treat ments and in a couple of months was out of the hospital and ap parently all right. Retirement board doctors examined, found an other cancerous spot. He was re tired, over his protest. ' The cancer licked, he got a iob teaching seamanship at the naval academy at Annapolis. But he wanted sea duty again in Uie navy. He persuaded Senator Hicken looper (R-Iowa) to introduce a bill, the only way he could be restored to active duty. If the House goes along, he said, he has been promised shipboard duty, probably in the Far East.

Girard Davidson, assistant secre tary of the interior, declared here that the Columbia Valley author ity is needed now to meet de fense needs and the northwest's industrial expansion. The cabinet officer, who fre quently speaks in support of ad ministration programs, addressed i cnamDer ot commerce lorum. "Our industrial machine is now running at top speed and still it cannot meet current civilian de mands. ... it is not merely i military emergency that forces us to expand industrial production, We shall continue to need this new industrial capacity after the emergency is over," Davidson de clared. The necessary production can be achieved, but only by team- won., ne saio. "Faced with such pressing pro blems, we shall have no time for foolishness, he continued. "This is not the time for private wars which divide and dissipate our energies." Davidson said grouping Pacific Northwest river development pro jects under the CVA would speed their construction and more quickly provide the power needed, not only for the defense effort, but for the region's rapidly ex panding economy. Without this speedy construc tion, he declared, "the alternat ives are grim." One is to cut the civilian use of electric power. An other is to use high cost power. Davidson described a recent na tional magazine article (in Read ers' Digest) by Leslie A. Miller, former Wyoming governor, as part of "current propaganda campaign of the private power companies." "All of the facts on the CVA question should be widely dissem inated so that the people can make up their own minds as to its merits and demerits." Davidson said. "Unfortunately, this magaz ine overlooked this opportunity for performing a useful public ser vice."
