Y., Sept. 24. (AP.) An important weap on combatting cancer was made ready for use today when the world's recognized authorities on the disease put into a single state ment all the basic knowledge they have on the subject. The statement, regarded as the most important pronouncement on cancer ever made, was adopted at the closing session of the four day symposium on cancer control, which was a:tended by more than 100 cancer specialists of the United Ptates and several Euro pean countries. Points concerning the disease on which the experts agree wen incorporated in the statenet. which is designed for the public and the medical profession alike. While the basic knowledge of can cer is admittedly incomplete, the summary is considered as a foun dation upon which to proceed in waging warfare against . the dis ease. "The control of cancer," the statement reads, "so far as this fuibject can be understood at the present time, depends upon the employment ot measures of per sonal hygiene and certain pre entp.tive and curative measures, the success of which depentis upon intelligent cooperation of patient and physician. "Persons who have cancer m' st apply to competent physicians a a sufficiently early stage of tho disease, in order to have a fair chance, of cure. This applies to all forms of cancer. In some frn.s early treatment affords the only possibility of cure. Cancer in most parts of the body can be dis covered in a very early stage, and if ihese cases are treated properly the prospect fer permanent cure is good.

BOULDERS TRAP. 4-lEflm Three in Mine Cage Thought Killed When Car Plunges Down Shaft DEBRIS FILLS ENTRANCE Rescuers Making Heroic Effort to Save Fellow Workers Believed Safe in Interior on the Eighth Level IRONWOOD, Mich., Sept. "24. (AP). Cut off by many tons of boulders which went on ram page in the G. Pabst iron mine today, 41 men were trapped hun dreds of feet below the streets of this city. At least, three, it is feared, are dead. Probably most of the others are safe, awaiting patiently the arriv al ot rescuers .who tonight were risking their lives in heroic ef forts to reach their comrades in the eighth level of the mine. Loosened by vibration, bould ers a short distance from the sur face shortly before noon broke through the concrete slabs which brace the surface of the 2600-foot inclined shaft of the mine. . The boulders tore out, snapping steel supporters, and bounded down the incline. As one plunged down another was loosened, to fall in a few moments on the pile of debris at the bottom of the shaft. The steel cage of the shaft was below the break in the shaft wall. The cage was caught by the first rush of boulders, it was torn from the cable, and it shot down the 45-degree incline with terrific speed. It crashed against the bottom, and a moment later many tons of rock fell upon it. The cage, it is thought, Was crushed. In the cage were three men, Thomas Rowell, underground electrician, and two of his assistant, Evar Gustafson and Gust Sell. LOGGERS MEET IN BEND JOINT CONVENTION OF TWO 4L DISTRICTS ENDS BEND.
