Hope Of Cancer Cure Impels Scientist To Disregard His Age Of Retirement BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE Associattd Prttt Scitnc Reparttr NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. At retirement age, Dr. Moses L. Cross ley had a choice: To loaf and go sailing, or to take on more new work. The choice was easy for a brilliant chemist who "can't imagine my self not working." So now he's doing a double jub in cancer research, of making and testing drugs that stop or kill cancers. NOI1D3S TWO r- Dr. Crossley, now 66, retired last fall as director of research of the American Cyanimid company and its subsidiary, Calco Chemi cal Co. His industrial career in cluded developing drugs for ar thritis, and some of the first real wonder drugs, the sulfa familv. It also covered a search for anti cancer drugs. Over the years Dr. Crossley and his staff made some 1,200 new chemicals that might carry a punch against cancer. He has taken on a new job, as an honorary research specialist at Rutgers university's bureau o f biological research, headed by Dr. James B. Allison. Dr. Crossley directs the bureau's experiments in testing new chemicals. One promising drug is TEM. nickname for triethyleniminostria line.

So far TEM shows ability to decrease the size of certain transplanted cancers. "Many compounds have shown some activity in retarding tumor growth in animals, but this must n't be taken to mean that a can cer cure is in sight," Dr. Crossley said. "It is possible that within the next 10 years we will know enough to. control some types of cancer but not necessarily all types. And whether, even then, we will be able to control cancr in all oV its life stages, is exceedingly doubt ful." The cancer work of the bureau ot biological research is supported by the American Cancer society, Damon Runyan Memorial fund, and American Cyanimid. TO NOTRE DAME ROME, P The Rev. Theo dore J.

(AP Wirephoto.) U. S. Official's Family Escapes Death In Crash LAKEVIEW, Ore. WP The wife and two sons of Dr. E. U. Condon, physicist and director of the federal bureau of standards, narrowly escaped death in a car crash in the desert north of here Monday. The two sons, Taiil, 17, and Jo seph, 15, were thrown free as the automobile rolled over three times. They emerged only with bruises. Mrs. Emily Condon was hospit alized here, but attendants said she would be able to leave in a few days. She suffered from shock, cuts and bruises. Paul, who was driving, said the car suddenly began whipping from side to side on the road, before slipping off the highway 70 miles north of Lakeview. They were enroute to this south central Oregon town to visit Mrs. Condon's sister, Mrs. J. Raymond Taylor. Dr. Condon had accom panied them as far as Denver, where he was called back to Wash ington, D. C. GROWS WITHOUT WATER . BERKELEY, Calif. - (ifi A pocket mouse which never drank water or other liquid has died here at the age of six years. That is a fabulous age for such a mouse which usually lives only about a year in its natural desert home. Dr. Seth B. Benson: who caught the mouse near San Diego, says it consumed only small amounts ot bird seed. Apparently it got all the water it needed from the dry seed. He says many desert animals have body processes which use very small amounts of water. AlympIA " Drro U b aW "It's the Waterl Orympi Briwinf Co, Olympli, Wh, U. 1 A.
