BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEW HAVEN, Conn. (P) - Two pieces in the jigsaw puzzle of can cer are described Monday in pub lications of Dr. Leonell C. Strong of the Yale School of Medicine. Both are effects of heredity on caneer in mice. In one experiment mice developed resistance to can cer caused by one of the chemi cals most certain to produce this disease. The chemical is methyl cholanthrene. When the same pair of mice had successive litters, the later-born litters showed the resistance. The cancers did not grow as fast. Along with $his same jigsaw piece Dr. Strong1 found that as mouse mothers got older, their yooag had greater cancer resist ance. The cancers took longer to grow and twice as long to kill. Tbe other jigsaw piece is breed ing tor resistance to cancer. This was done because in human beings it Is thought some persons are more resistant to cancer than oth ers and the hrxnunity is attributed t heredity. The mice most resistant to can cer were mated to see whether their offspring inherited the re sistance. The young did so inherit, for several generations, but after many generations of continued breeding the resistance disap peared. Not only that but these remote mouse descendants became susceptible to cancer.

Justice Mat thew Hill of the Washington State Supreme Court told Salem Ro tarians at their Wednesday meet ing in the Marion Hotel. Justice Hill, a guest speaker in behalf of the National Boy Scout Week, Feb. 6 to 12, and the 42nd Anniversary of Scouting, flew to Salem from Olympia, to speak to the group. Hill stressed the need for build ing the right citizenship in youth today to keep them from juvenile courts tomorrow. Too often Da rents take the scoutmaster for granted and as nimo that th hnvs ar his nrob- lem, he cautioned. The attitude of, "mat s wnat nes oux mere ior, is too prevalent with parents of boys in scouting programs, he said. In conjunction with the next three year program's . theme of "Forward on Liberty's Team," Hill emphasized the importance of the Scouting program being "for" something in Americanism rather than "against this" or "against that." Two new members of the Ro tarians were introduced to the club. They were Frank Washburn, youth director of the YMCA, and Dr. F. G. Rankin, veterinarian.

Flood of Red Propaganda Said in U. S. WASHINGTON (JF-An uncon trolled flood of Communist propa ganda Is pouring Into the United States and finding its way into universities, labor unions and oth er institutions, a Senate subcom mittee reported Tuesday night. Chairman McCarran (D-Nev.) said the worst of it is smuggled Into the country. Some propagan da gets through in diplomatic pouches, he added, and tons of It comes in by boat freight. The traffic was the subject of an investigation made behind clos ed doors last fall by an Internal Security Subcommittee. This is a division of the Judiciary Com mittee which McCarran heads. "Efforts of Congress to control this flood are being thwarted in large measure by refusal of the State Department to require prop agandists in the embassies and legations to label their literature as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act," McCarran said. The registration act does not prohibit the distribution of Red propaganda in this country, but it requires the disclosure of agents of foreign governments engaged in the work, and the labeling of propaganda so that recipients may know the source of the material. Back-Dating Revenue Key To Tax Scandal SAN FRANCISCO (JP)-A special Treasury intelligence agent Tues day told congressional investigat ors that the major transgression in the scandal-shaken internal revenue office here was back dating tax returns so that personal and political friends could avoid penalties. "The majority" of other accusa tions leveled against the San Fran cisco office, William E. Frank con tinued in his testimony, are "un founded." Frank opened to the House Ways and Means Tax Sub-committee headed by Rep. King (D-Calif), the records of an investigation he began a few days after Collector James G. Smyth and several aides were suspended on allegations of misconduct. Smyth and seven aides later were fired by President Truman. Subsequently Smyth, two of his aides, and a San Francisco attor ney were indicted by a federal Grand Jury on charge"of conspir acy involving alleged back-dating of income tax returns. "There is no evidence of bribes," Fraand testified, ". . . and I don't think there were more than five, six, seven or eight cases of backdating."
