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.

U. S. Tanks Worthless
Because Of No Fan Belts

sergeant who fled Red - captured

tanks badly needed for defense of
the city sat on a railway siding
for four days because they lacked
fan belts.
"The anks never got into action
or fired a shot," he declared,
"and when I left Chinju 15 crew
men were waiting in hopes flat
cars would arrive on which they
could get the tanks out. They wete
under orders to destroy the tanks
if a train didn't arrive."
A general officer later confirmed
that orders had been given to de
stroy the tanks rather than let them
be captured, and said he felt sure
the order had been obeyed.

ICVA Necessary
Now For Defense,
Davidson Says
PENDLETON. Ore.. -i.V) -C.
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." Locals
