Hope Of Cancer Cure Impels Scientist
To Disregard His Age Of Retirement
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE

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.

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.

Rats Used In Tt
Drugs are tested on rats, o n
cancers transplanted from other
rats, and on other animals having
cancer. 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.

The kida know Corn Pops are good, but you want to

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.
