6 Th Newi-Rtview, Roteburg, Ore Thur, Apr. 1, 1954 j pr jee SuppOrt Cllt New Methods Being Used In Treatment Of Leukemia By RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Prtss Scianct Rtporttr PORTLAND I A method of almost doubling the survival time of people with chronic leukemia was reported Tuesday by a physi cian widely known for his research on blood. The procedure for staying death and giving added months of com fortable existence for victims of this form of malignancy involves the use of constant small doses of radiation over the entire body. Usually leukemia patients are treated only as long as they are outwardly ailing, men sent nome. The new way is to keep on treat ing them even though they don' appear sick. This method was described to science writers by Dr. E. E. Os good of the University of Oregon medical school, me science writ' ers are touring research centers under the sponsorship ol the Amor- Small Girl Dies In Fire, At Aumsville Tuesday AUMSVILLE, Ore. Un A fire of undetermined origin swept through a two-room house here Tuesday, fatally burning a little girl wh was alone inside. The fire was discovered by a passerby, Maurice More. He rush ed into the flaming building and brought the child outside. She died from burns a few hours later at a Stayton hospital. She was Delores Lorraine Rob erts, 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ansel Roberts. The fath er was away at work at the time of the fire. The mother had gone into a nearby apartment house minutes before the fire vas dis covered. OPPOSE MRS. LUCE ROME (fl Italian Communists and their fellow-travelers have pushed their campaign against U. S. Ambassador Clare Booths Luce with a formal demand in the Sen ate that the American woman en voy be declared persona non gra tanot welcome in Italy. A group of senators made the request in a written interpolation ican Cancer Society, which sup ports the work of Dr. Osgood and many other medical scientists. For chronic leukemias the aver age survival time between the onset of disease and death has been listed in medical statistics as 36 to 42 months. Dr. Osgood reported on 163 pa tients who have been treated as a group since 1941. At the end of 1953, 48 of these patients still were alive. The average survival time as of that date was 57 months. Since 48 still are living, the cal culated survival time for all 163 will be 4 years and 9 months. Since treatment methods are im proved from time to time ,Dr. Os good figured that by the time these remaining 48 are dead, the aver age survival period will be between seven and eight years. Since leukemia is a disease of the blood and extends to all parts of the body, the entire system is irradiated' This is done with small doses of X-rays and with radio active phosphorus, which is inject ed into the blood stream. The pnos. pnorus gives on rays which at tack the malignant white blood cells in much the same way as X-rays. Another research project which gives hope for added life to victims of breast and prostate cancer was reported by two other researchers of the school, Dr. Clarence V. Hodges and Dr. Clare G. Peterson. Removal of the adrenal glands is one type of treatment used. This has prolonged life and banished pain for some patients but Hodges and Peterson said tney were get ting away from adrenal surgery and using sex hormones instead. By varying the use of cortisone and sex hormones it is possible in many cases to ease pain and pro long life. Dr. Peterson cited the case of a woman 30 years old who in 1952 appeared to be near death from breast cancer. Malignancy had spread widely In her body. The dootors sent her home to die but gave her cortisone. In a few months she was on her feet and doing housework. She is still alive, after having been described re peatedly as a "terminal case." Among Dr. Hodges' patients are 27 women who have lived 10 to for the Senate record.

Launches Butter Rush To Market WASHINGTON W) Secretary of Agriculture Benson said Mon day some retail outlets have re. ported they will offer butter for as low as 59 cents a pound Thursday when the government's dairy price support program shifts to a lower basis. Benson said, however, that most ot the retail prices lor butter are expected to be in the "mid and upper 60'i." Retail prices are now generally above 75 cents a pound, mostly around 80 cents. The government's support rate will decline about 8V cents a pound from about 65 to 57 cents The dairy support program, now at 90 per cent of parity, will be re' duced to 75 per cent for the new marketing year beginning April 1 Benson told a news conference that many wholesalers and retail ers including food chains have informed him that they are will ing to forego a part of their normal price markups in an effort to help the dairy industry solve its surplus situation. Surplus Ditpesal Plan Waits The secretary estimated his de partment wU own about 350 mil lion pounds of butter, 420 million pounds of cheese and 550 million pounds of non-fat dried milk by April 1, acquired under dairy price support commitments. Benson said he was not yet ready to announce plans for dis posing of the government surplus stocks. He said the 18-member Na tional Agricultural Commission, appointed by President Eisenhow er, will go into this matter at meetines to be held here Monday. Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Teachers Lack Of Blamed For Music Interest CHICAGO I Teachers are to blame because most high school students don't care for serious music, Karl D. Ernst, of Portland, said Monday. He told a meeting of the Music Educators National Conference that students "feel insecure and decide that music is for the ex pert." That is due to improper teaching, he said. home now we must lead our students to the expressive core of music as an intense ncrsonal thing," he said. He suggested that music teacners "begin more often with the music itself instead of elaborate explanations." .
