Wonder Drug
Put to Work in
Cancer Cases
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
AP Scieace Reporter
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. i A
new job of helping cancer patients
was reported recently for a
itrange "wonder drug" which
seems to be a jack-of-many-trades.
The drug is chlorpromazine, a
distant relative of anti-histamines
which combat allergies.
Medical reports find it useful in
Inducing a kind of chemical hi
bernation, similar to "frozen
sleep" hibernation, to permit saf
er or easier heart and brain op
erations. The drug reduces body
temperature and blood pressure,
slows the heart rate and breath
ing rate, like the slow-down in a
hibernating animal.
It's also reported helpful in com
batting the shakes and hallucina
tions of D.T's or delirium trem
ens, in controlling nausea of preg
nancy, fighting shock, and calm
ing some mentally ill persons.
Four George Washington Uni
versity scientists said Saturday
they find chlorpromazine helps
combat bad effects of X-rays given
to cancer patients in attempts to
knock out or slow down cancer
growths.
It prevented nausea and loss of
appetite in patients who had to
take X-rays for cancer which had
spread to their livers, they said.
The patients could eat three meals
a day, felt more comfortable.
Other cancer patients report
ed relief of pain, less restlessness,
more strength, and less need for
narcotics, Drs. John Lucas, Solo
mon N. Albert, Jeanne C. Bate
man and Calvin T. Klopp told the
American Association for Cancer
Research. The association began
a three - day meeting here
Saturday.
A new drug, thioguanine, shows
promise of acting against leukemia
or cancer of the blood, said re
searchers from Sloan-Kettering In
stitute and the Wellcome Research
Labor a tores. Tuck ah oe, N.Y.
Tests with it on humans are just
beginning now.
State Surplus '
Spuds Due for
U.S. Purchase
PORTLAND iff) The govern
ment purchase of surplus potatoes
in Oregon will total 11 carloads,
Arnold N. Bodtker. federal agri
culture official, announced here
Monday.
He said Oregon growers already
had offered to supply 50 times that
amount.Their offer was made be
fore the site of the government
purchase was known.
Bodtker said six carloads would
be bought from the Klamath Falls
area, three from Jefferson County
and two from Deschutes. The gov
ernment price will be $1.90 a
hundredweight.
Respect for ,
Geneva Rules
Of War Asked
SAIGON, Indochina UP The In
ternational Retl Cross appealed
here to the belligerents in the
battle of Dien Bien Phu to respect
the Geneva convention.
In messages addressed to French
Commissioner General Maurice de
Jean. French commander Gen.
Henri Navarre and Vietminh lead
er Ho Chi Minn and his command
er ,Vo Nguyen Giap. the interna
tional organization said it was "ex
tremely alarmed" by news that
French - Viet Nam airplanes bear
ing the Red Cross and similar
Vietminh motor convoys had been
fired upon.
i U
Policy Makers
Business Lull
I And they say the administration's
j "natural, economic climate" poli
. cies can be depended upon to halt
1 the downturn and "lay the founda-
tion for a new advance" without
government stimulation such as
further income tax cuts or in
creased spending
But. they say. it seems probable
the decline in defense spending will
make for unemployment higher
than the nation has been ac
customed to in recent years until
new civilian jobs are created by
the pressures of rapidly increasing
population, marketing of new pro
ducts and a "return to vigorous
salesmanship by businessmen used
to a seller's market."
The conviction the Eisenhower
administration brought to Washing
ton that the economy was danger
ously over-extended, in need of a
period of rest, consolidation, re
assessment and transition to a new
economic basis, seems as strong
now as 15 months ago.
And. administration leaders say.
the economy has been going
through such a period, not a de
pression, recession or other form
of economic sickness.
These are the highlights of what
you would hear if you made a
round now of economic policymak
ers like Federal Reserve Board
Chairman William McChesney
Martin Jr . Secretary of the Treas
ury Humphrey, Secretary of Com
merce Weeks, LTnder - Secretary of
Commerce Walter Williams: Hum
phrey's deputy. W. Randolph Bur
gess, and others.
Crisis Pastes
A month or six weeks ago you
would not have had to look very
far to find uneasiness about the
business outlook in some admini
stration quarters. But the air of
crisis passed as March and early
April economic reports rolled in. It
has been replaced by an air of
buoyancy, although economic re
ports still get critical daily study.
Policy makers interviewed in re
cent days appeared convinced that
the business dip is at. or about at,
its bottom, and that business is
about to bestir itself, probably
slowly at first, for a climb to new
economic records.
Evidence for Confidence
Secretary Humphrey ticked off,
before the Senate Finance Commit
tee, last Wednesday the main sta
tistical businss indicators admin
istration spokesman cite as evi
dence for confidence. They are:
There are 3,700,000 people unem
ployed, according to the March
count by the Census Bureau, but
there are also 60,000,000 people em
ployed. In January and February,
there were more people employed
than ever before at that time of
year except in 1953.
The index of industrial produc
tion is off I per cent from a year
ago (it was down 10. J per cent in
February from the peak of last
July), but the gross national pro
duct 1 total output of all kinds of
goods and services 1 is down only
1 per cent from a year ago.
Construction set a new record
from January through March this
year.
Income Higher
Personal income is running a lit
tle higher than a year ago, mean
ing that the public's purchasing
power is stul strong.
The general price level has been
fairly stable for many months (in
large part a reflection of Treasury
and Federal Reserve easymoney
policies put into effect as business
turned downward). This has helped
prevent distress liquidation of
stocks.
Interest rates are down, bank
reserves are plentiful.
The population is increasing at
over two million persons a year.
-Tax cuts amounting to six billion
dollars have gone into effect since
the first of the year. Another re
duction of nearly 14 billions is
contained in the House-passed tax
revision bill now before the Senate.
That will make the single biggest
one-year tax cut in the nation's his
tory if the Senate passes the House
bill.
Humphrey said last Thursday
that about 5 billions of this would
go to individuals. Put together
with the 24 billion dollars tax re
lief for business, he said, the tax
program "will have a tremendous
ly helpful effect upon the econo
my." OLD TIME RELIGION
WAYLAND, N. Y. LH The 116-year-old
St, Peter's Evangelical
Church in this western New York
community never has been re
modeled or modernized in any
way. It is not eyen wired for
electricity. Its sanctuary is light
ed by a huge chandelier with
double oil burner lamps, fluted
chimneys and crystal globes.

Trust Estate
Left Germans
MOSCOW. Idaho & The United
States asked Monday that a $62,717
: trust estate left to 14 Germans be
I turned over to the government un
j der the old 1 trading with the ene
my act.
Federal Judge Chase A. Clark
ordered attorneys for both sides
to prepare a stipulation of the
facts that he could study.
The case involves the estate of
the late Fred Nagle, a Genesee,
Idaho, farmer, who willed his
estate to eight nephews and six
nieces who now live in West
Germany.
The trust agreement, filed March
30, 1946, named Frieda Herrmann
of Genesee as a trustee.
The federal complaint said she
has purchased many CARE pack-
i ages with funds from the estate
and sent them to the beneficiaries
in Germany, technically still an
enemy country.
The defense has filed motion for
dismissal, contending the old act
isn't applicable and that the bene
ficiaries reside in the friendly zone
of Germany.
Marion Callister of Boise, an
assistant U.S. attorney, is repre
senting the plaintiff, Atty. Gen.
Herbert Brownell, in the case.
