Rand III, president of Rand Development Corp., said Monday night an anticancer se rum developed by a Cleveland scientist and reported effective in animals has been used on human patients within the last three years. He denied reports that the se rum had proved effective on can cer patients at Doctors Hospital here, saying that no such conclu sions could be drawn from tests so far. Rand said that in the last three years between 40 and 50 patients not all in Doctors 'Hospital but throughout the country have re ceived the serum, but emphasized that it was "much too early" to appraise the results. "We hope to have another 150 patients in the next six months," he said. "We don't know what the results will be." Dr. Sergio de Carvalho, who de veloped the serum at the Rand laboratory and at Doctors Hospi tal, would not confirm that it bad been used on human patients. "I have nothing to report, noth ing to say about this," he said. "There are no cures, no nothing. I wish I had (a cure)." In discussing electron micro scope techniques used in his re search, Dr. de Carvalho said at a scientific convention in Pittsburgh last Thursday that his serum had proved effective in fighting cancer in animals. He said on returning to Cleveland that it would be at least a year before the serum's effect on humans could be tested and evaluated.

ARTHUR SELBY The North Umpqua District (Steamboat) of the Umpqua Na tional Forest has completed an outstanding project, a road to con nect the Umpqua National Forest and the Willamette National For est. The Steamboat Road extension to the divide was started from Horse Heaven Creek last fall. Dis trict Ranger Gene W. Carlson stat ed this is a well-designed road with good grades and curves and is a lane and one-half in width. This was built in connection with a timber sale to U. S. Plywood Corp. and operated by the L. L. Burr Logging Co., all on the North Umpqua Hanger District. This five miles of construction completes the Steamboat Road con struction, which now totals 24 miles in length. The major use of most of this road will, of course, be for timber hauling. However, the road was built to better width, etc., so as to accommodate the increasing recreational traffic. Travel Restricted The new road will not be open to public travel until sometime next year as safety measures are needed during the logging phase of of this operation The road on the Willamette side I tile dlVldp hflK boon in faf emn. years but was built to a lower sianaara man is desirable.

Tucson Truckers Break With Local TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)-A band of Tucson truck drivers has rebelled against James R. Hoffa's Team sters Union, accusing their local officers of strongarm tactics. "We'll live with it until they're out." said Wayne Hobson about officers in Local 310. There was no immediate com ment from local officers. Hobson is one of 170 members who broke with the local in a Sunday night meeting. He said the split had nothing to do with earlier Teamsters rebellions in Cincinnati, Ohio, and St. Louis, Mo. "No, this things been brewing about three years. We don't even know if we have any money. They won't even show us the books. We're determined to get loose," Hobson said. George Patterson, another of the group, added: "Hoffa's strong arm tactics have been passed down to the local level where we can no longer accept such dom ination. We want to be independ ent or join the AFL-CIO." Hoffa is president of the union. Hobson said that one member of the dissident group had re ceived an anonymous telephone call, threatening "We are going to knock you off unless you get in line." Hobson said he had received many calls pledging support to the rebels but hat1 not received any threatening calls. President Frank A. Williams of the 1,200-membcr local is in San Francisco for negotiations on a freight industry contract ami could not be reached for comment. Thornton Would Cancel Veterans' Bonus Checks SALEM (AP) Two veterans' bonus warrants should be canceled because they were not presented until after more than seven years from the date of issue, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton Monday ad vised state Veterans' Director H. C. Saalfeld. Both warrants were issued to parents of deceased veterans. Thornton pointed out that law requires that warrants over seven WASHINGTON' (AP) Presi dent Kennedy's administiation, alt er playing a key role in helping settle a series of lesser labor dis putes, apparently has decided to keep out of the auto industry con tract talks. Kennedy's chief adviser in this field, Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, is reported to feel the auto negotiators are experi enced and inventive enough to carve out settlement terms of their own without outside help. Goldberg is said to believe an auto settlement short of a strike is quite likely. But time is grow ing short. The major auto con tracts expire at midnight Thurs day. It could be expected, however, that if a strike develops Friday and extends for some time, Gold berg might well hop in to give it the college try that has worked so well on most of the bothersome labor troubles since Kennedy took office. Goldberg chalked up his latest labor settlement Monday this one between the Mtropolitair Opera Association and its orchestra, whose members had worked up considerable dissonance over their wages. When the Met announced it was canceling its season because of the dispute Kennedy ordered Goldberg in to save the opera as a national cultural institution. This was ac complished when both sides agreed to accept whatever Goldberg, an arbitrator, may recommend as fair. Kennedy, saying that "a great cultural resource of the United States" had been saved, added: "the Metropolitan Opera is im portant to the nation. I am glad we have all found a way for it to continue." From Kennedy's inauguration day on, Goldberg has been busily settling labor troubles. First he forestalled a tugboat strike in New York harbor. Then he succeeded in squelching several bad airline strikes. This was followed by successful avoidance of a strike at atomic energy works at Hanford, Wash. Then the big maritime strike was stopped by a Taft-Hartley law in junction to ive more time for settlement efforts that have now about been completed.
