The statement was made as a mass of evidence on the curabili ty of many types of malignancy was presented before the Amer ican College of Surgeons. This evidence gives the latest figures on the chances of a person with cancer to survive for five years or more. Three Surgeons The three surgeons, leaders In the fight against the second most deadly disease of Americans, are Dr. Frank E. Adair, of Memorial Hospital, New York City; Dr. Grentley W. Taylor, professor of surgery at Harvard University, and Dr. Ernest M. Daland, Har vard surgery instructor and chief of staff of the Fondville, Mass., State Cancer Hospital. They were asked separately in press conferences how many peo ple could be cured if all of them sought treatment promptly and received the best care that medi cal science now can give. Each answered 50 per cent. Doubles Rate This is about double the present rate of cure. Dr. Adair, in a report to the College of Surgeons, cited reports showing nearly 100 per cent im provement in the last 20 years in the curability rate for moderately advanced breast cancer. Two dec ades ago only 21 per cent of the patients live five years or more after their operations. Today, Dr. Adair said, the number of five, year survivals is 39.1 per cent. Similar improvement has taken place In other forms of malig nancy, he said. 'Massive Surgery' The main reason for the im provement, he added, is "massive surgery." Or operations in which large sections of disease tissue can be removed without greatly en dangering the life of the patient. Massive surgery, he added, has been made possible by the liberal use of blood injections to offset hemorrhage, and penicillin to pre vent post-operative Infections. A gallon of blood now is pumped rapidly into a patient during ma jor operations, he said. MM (Republican) FOR GOVERNOR OREGON can trust the leadership of man whose war buddies picked him as commander of their Legion Post, whose business associates made him president of the Chamber of Commerce, whose competitors picked him for state presi dent of their trade association, whose neighbors elected him mayor of his home town. Continuously, since 1933, he has lop ped the ticket for Senator from Marion County in every primary and general election ... has never been defeated for any office ... has always won his home precinct, his home town, his home county.

Reclamation bureau officials would not discuss the matter. A half-billion dollar program would be about $200,000,000 larg er than the bureau was voted for this fiscal year, ending June 30. Bureaus usually ask the budget office for more money than it ap proves in its recommendations to Congress. The requested program, to be come a reality, would have to be approved by the Budget Bureau and then by Congress. The budget office's recommendations are those of the President. U. of 0.

So says Viola Theman, associate professor of education at North western University. Parents should give teachers the information on their children, she said, so that the "whole boy or girl" is educated. Otherwise, she said, the child Is "pulled in op posite directions." "Teachers have virtually no way of knowing what influences gov. em a child when he Is in the home," she said, "and parents do not have sufficient knowledge of all the factors affecting the young ster during his hours in the schoolroom." The longest straight-line dis tance, north and south, in the United States run 1598 miles, from Canada along the 49th par allel of latitude to the southern most point of Texas.

Builders Break ' Safety Rules CHICAGO W5) Many builders of new homes are "setting the stage for a mass of broken legs, arms, necks and heads," the Na tional, Safety Congress was told this week. Tyler S. Rogers, of the Owens Corning Fiberglass Corp., Toledo, O. told the annual convention of the National Safety Council that too many safety rules are Being broken in the rush to build new homes. "The pressure of cost is making small houses smaller," he asserted. "The stairs are being squeezed down, inch by inch, to make space for other rooms. We are, I fear, building broken legs and arms, necks and heads into altogether too many new houses.' ' Rogers said hazards being built into new homes include poorly constructed stairways, inadequate lightning, unsafe floors, improp erly constructed cupboards and cabinets, doors that swing the wrong way and poor traffic ar rangements. Rogers advocated stricter en forcement of "adequate" building codes to govern the designer or builder "who plans more with an eye to low cost or high profit than to the safety of the house he creates." CURB THAT URGE ENDICOTT, N. Y. (U.R) Alois Seinekovic, 27, said he had an urge to squirt a policeman with a hose. He was arrested by dripping Patrolman Charles Garland, and ordered to pay $25 or sorve 25 days in jail. ' Oldtime Western Peace Officer Protests His Retirement Orders LOS ANGELES (U.R) An old- time western peace officer doesn t retire; he dies with his boots on, today snid 72-year-old U.S. Mar shal Robert E. Clark in protest against orders to give up his ob Oct. 29. The hard-riding marshal re fused to accept an edict from the federal civil service commission that employes or appointees over the age of 70 must retire. Can't Do This "By gosh, I'll take this up with the President," he said. "They can't put me out to pasture. I can still ride and shoot with the best of them." Clark points back at a colorful career that includes cowpunching, driving a stagecoach, special rang er under President Theodore Roosevelt, sheriff of Ventura Countv in California for 12 years and U.S. marshal for the southern district of California since 1933. The noted peace officer has spent 69 of his 72 years in South ern camornia, naving Been brought here from Fairplay, Wis., as a child. His boyhood was spent at Ojai, Calif., now a resort town, Early Days During his youth the marshal rode the range in Southern Cali fornia and in those free-and-easy days was known as a fair man and a hard fighter. "I got Into peace officer work in 1905," Clark recalled. "They were having a devil of time In the back country settling a feud between cattlemen and squatters around Castalc. "Somehow President Roosevelt, I mean Teddy Roosevelt, heard about me and first thing I knew I was a U.S. ranger. Well, we settl ed that feud, arrested a lot of men and things" quieted down atfer 21 persons were killed." Clark then became a stage driver on the old Los Angeles to San Francisco route.
