THEY thought? when Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) arose
that he was going to talk about the McCarthy case,
which is the occasion, of the present session.
- But the Republican floor leader,, the man responsible
for putting through administration legislative proposals,
took off on foreign policy
" It was just before Wednes
day's conference with leaders of

KnoWiand said he thought
Congress should hold hearings
for State and Defense Depart
ment officials who could tell it
where the present policy was
, going. ' j i v, ; ! :
If it is merely allowing-the
Russians to approach a period
when there will be a stalemate
n atomic strength, which would
produce a period of "coexist
ence," then it is dangerous, said
Knowland. f t i
Perhaps, he amplified, it is, time
to tell the Kremlin, with regard
".o the previously ! announced
massive retaliation policy, that
heUnited States considers "nib
bling aggression" in the same
jght, as armed aggression,' and
vill not stand idly by while it

Secretary Dulles moved quick-

3. Will it lead to a new and
more : bitter conflict between
those who are satisfied with the
administration's efforts to main
tain a balance between military
and economic security and those
who believe the "leveling off"
of military preparedness has
been carried beyond the safety
zone? This was something which
was bound to come up again
anyway with the consideration
of new military, appropriations.-
The spectacle of the Republi

movement even partially oppos

for the White House to take in

statement Tuesday that ! the

Business
Outlook Brighter
Some 2,000 U.S. - businessmen
met at New York's Waldorf
Astoria Hotel ,this week for a
three-day round of conferences,
lectures and discussions on the
outlook for foreign trade. They
came away with the conviction
that things should be getting
better soon. i h
U.S. exporters facing tough
foreign competition saw a ray
of hope in a new loan policy
undertaken , by , the Export
Import Bank. Hawthorne Arey,
director of the big, government-
backed lendmg agency. " x
plained it to the . convention this
way
The bank, he said, has decided
to make credit available to U.S.
exporters to help . finance the
sale of certain U.S. goods
abroad. Aim of the new policy,
he explained, is to meet "the
recent shift in conditions of in
ternational trade from a 'sellers'
to a 'buyers market"
Armed with this government
credit, U.S. exporters can offer
attractive easy-payment terms
to their overseas customers
something that foreign export
ers have been doing for some
time. , . j j

MEDICINE: A
Bright Beacon
A technique" which may be a
great breakthrough in the fight
against cancer was described
by a medical team at the con
vention of the American College
of Surgeons at Atlantic City this
week. .
i It involves a way In which
human cancers can be made to
shine with a bright red light for
easy detection. It could lead to
i
a pretty sure way of telling
i whether a person has cancer,
whether it has spread in his
body, where all the cancer is lo
cated.' It might also create a
new way of carrying radioactive
atoms to cancers to destroy
them.
As described by Drs. D. S.
Rasmussen-Taxdal, Grant , E.
Ward and Frank H. J. Figge, the
technique works this way:
The chemical porphyrin, ob
tained from human blood, is in
jected into a person's veins. It
seeks - out cancer tissue and
lodges there. Then when body
tissues are examined under ul
traviolet or invisible black light,
the porphyrin shines with a red
light as-bright as a woman s lip
stick. U ,
; There is hope that the por
phyrin can be combined with

Enter Torpedo Boats
! A new element appeared in
the warfare between Nationalist
Chinese and their Communist
foes on the mainland this week
when four Red torpedo boats
swiftly attacked and sent to the
bottom a Nationalist destroyer
escort.
News, of the sinking of the
Taiping came as a jolt to Chiang
Kai-shek s Nationalists. The first
use of powerfully-armed naval
craft by the Communists was re
garded in Taipeh as introducing
a new and dangerous element
into the fight. Up to now it had
been confined to artillery duels
between Nationalist Quemoy and
the Reds' island of Amoy, and
sporadic air raids.
The attack took place while
the Taiping was convoying
motorized junk from the Tachen
Islands, an , outpost 215 miles
north of Formosa and 30 miles
off the coast, to nearby Tushan
Island. Although the phospor
escent wake of the first of four
torpedos was the first signal of
danger,1 Nationalist officials said
they knew the Communists had
such units In operation.
The vessel sunk was the for
mer U.S.S. Decker, transferred
to the Nationalists in 1946.
Twenty-eight of her 180-man
crew Were lost. '? ', J
1 Nationalist reaction was strone.
The official Central Dally News
described the attack as "another
Communist outrage instigated
by the Russians. ... It is only a
prelude to an offensive against
Formosa.
i Acting Foreign Minister Sen;
Chang -huan said the sinking j
served as a stark warning to
those who persist in believing!
that the Chinese Reds want ;
peace and do not intend to in-'
fade Formosa. 1

GOP Has
Trouble Ahead
Out of the angry speeches
echoing across the floor of the
Senate this week on the Mc
Carthy censure case one fact
became plain: Senate Repub
lican leaders had a political bear
by the tail with little chance of
escaping a mauling after they
let go.
And the bear whose tail they
tugged had quite a bit of fight
left in him
Here are the factors which
committed the Republican lead-
Discovery
iodine so that it would show up
under X-rays. That would mean
a .person could have the injec
tion, then be X-rayed or fluoro-
scoped to see if he has cancer,
ana wnere it is.
The porphyrin-iodine nresum-
ably would go any places where
the cancer had spread in the
body and reveal those areas for
removal. The spreading action
ox cancer is one reason -why
many people, die of the disease.
Surgeons remove the original
cancer, but its seed already have
spread, take root and grow
again.
Another possibility is that
radioactive atoms could be at'
tached to porphyrin and be car
ried to the sites of cancer to
root them out with lethal radia
tion. '
Porphyrin is one chemical part
of hemoglobin which contains
iron and carries oxygen in the
blood. It long has been, known
the element has an affinity for
cancer cells. But for 40 years it
was thought that porphyrin by
itself was poisonous. This idea
was based upon the experience
o' one scientist who took a fair
ly heavy dose, then swelled up
and turned red for months.
According to Dr. Rasmussen-
Taxdal who spoke for the team
from Johns Hopkins University
fand the University of Maryland
headed by Dr. Figge the reason
was simply that this scientist
happened to be allergic to por
phyrin. Apparently only about
three persons, out of a hundred
have the allergy. A skin test can
detect sensitivity.

ATOMIC: Some Headway

offer this week which could

The Lodge speech
was the big-
gest step forward in debate of
the U.N.'s 60-nation Political
Committee since President Ei

viewed the offer, Which would
virtually double the number of

Curtain, as a momentous step
toward placing atomic discover
ies at the service of man. i

What did Moscow mean by

Danger of War
They apparently wanted . to -
bring it home clearly to the
people of Western Europe that
there is a real danger of war on

The Russians blocked a Ger

didn't want to give up 'their

Evidently they will not now set-'

far as the political impact of -Germany
is concerned. Thus,
the Kremlin rulers seem nore
than a little nervous. (
Such nervousness can lead to '
another human catastrophe. It
may not be In the immediate fu
ture, but the seeds of a fright

The Soviet threats implicit in f
their note and in the blast by
