Surgeons Hear Reports on Speedy
Medical Care of Cancer Patients
LOS ANGELES () Half of
tli 5,000,000 people in the United
States who now have cancer
could be cured by existing meth
ods of treatment if they would
get proper medical care without
delay, three distinguished sur
geons asserted this week.
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.

Bureau Asks
500 Million
WASHINGTON W The
Reclamation Bureau was reported
Wednesday to have asked the
Budget Bureau to approve a $500,
000,000 outlay for next year.
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.

Home and School Unity
Urged in education
CHICAGO (U.B Schools and
parents should team up to educate
children instead of teaching them
in shifts.
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

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. His boldness
apparently was not limited to
