PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON MONDAY, JUNE 21. 1948 Uranium Hunt j In Alaska Rivals j Gold-Rush Days , Anchorage, Alaska, June 21 IP A 510,000 bonus oriered by me atomic energy commission to any i prospeciur luutumg u aicuuit; up posit of uranium . has started Alaska's biggest "stampede' ! since the gold rush days of '98. Grizzled prospectors combing Alaska s wilderness nave aiscara ed their gold pans and sluice box , es. They're scouring the hills for t signs or pitchblende, gumite, car- notite and other uranium-bearing , minerals. B. D. Stewart, territorial com missioner of mines, said here his offices have been besieged by , jruspet:iurs seening iiuui inaiiun on uranium. He said pamphlets prepared by the AEC giving methods of locating and recog- nizmg minerals containing uran- . lum are being distributed. Not After Gold i "The prospectoors are hitating the hills in great numbers, but ., they aren't looking for gold," he saiu. -witn tne price fixed and y liiuuuuuuii i-usu soaring, yuu can't make gold mining pay." J "But a uranium strike would ; certainly pay," he added. "In ad- dition to the bonus, the govern- ment is guaranteeing minimum ; prices ana even paying transpor- tation costs of the mineral in some cases." Stewart said he expected the . "rush" to hit full swing next summer when all prospectors will J have assembled the necessary i, c hhu siuuiea up on metn- ods of locataing uranium. -"We know there are uranium I "earing minerals In the territory, , but we don't know how large the deposits are,!' he said. ' ' If uranium is found in large . quantites, future generations of . Alaskans may reminisce on the uranium rush days of '49."

The Jury , was selected yester day at the opening of the first treason trial ever held west of the Mississippi. The government ' expects to spend $500,000 in its attempt to prove that the stocky, 26-year-old American-born Japanese brutally mistreated Americans when he was a guard at a Japanese war prison camp. He Is the first Japanese-American to be tried for treason. The trial will resume again Tuesday before Federal Judge William C. Mathes, U.S. Atty. Jameg M.

"There is no cure for cancer now." one of them explained. "We are Just beginning to understand some of the phenomena relating to cancer, and we hope our stu dies will bring answers to some of the puzzling questions about uncontrolled growth, which is characteristic of cancer." One of the eight scientists. Dr. Maurice Sullivan, believes the root of the may apple may hold one of the keys to cancer control Makes Warts Vanish - Sullivan discovered that the root, chemically known as "po dophyllum," will cause certain warts to disappear . in two or tnree days, nut the substance, ne said, is highly toxic and can not be used on cancer without endangering the health and com. fort ol patients. Sullivan pointed out. however, that the drug does inhibit cell di vision and tissue growth, two outstanding characteristics of cancer. Consequently, he wants to develop a substance with the same effect on tumors but one wmcn Is less toxic to the human system. Dr. Perrin Lone and his asso ciate, Dr. Emanuel Schoenfeld, are attacking cancer from a dif ferent angle. Scores of cancer kllllng substances are tested in their laboratory In an effort to find one which will not damage normal tissues. So far. several have caused temporary regressions in various types ol tumors, but all are so toxic that only small dosages can oe usea. Results Uncertain But they warn against over- optimism in connection with their research. They say: - "The fact that some chemicals show remarkable effects in ani mals is no reason to believe thev will be effective In humans." , Animal tissues are being crown n the laboratory of Dr. M.

As part of his equipment, Dr. Rosenfeld uses an ultra-centrifuge capable of 1,000 revolutions per second to separate molecules by exert ing a pressure of 250,000 times the normal force of gravity. Cells, one of the smallest sub divisions of living matter, occupy the attention of Dr. M. M. Mayer. His research is concerned chiefly with the finding of a mechanism in cells through which antibodies are produced to destroy dissase causing agents. . Wilklns Studies Glands If antibodies are produced against cancer cells, Dr. Mayer said, perhaps they could be used to detect the disease in time for effective treatment. Because glands may have some relationship to cancerous growth,. Dr. Lawson Wilkins is studying the relationship of various glands to growth during childhood and adolescence. The adrenal gland Is of particular interest to him. Dr. I. B. Klexner of the Car negie Institution of Washington, who also is attached to Johns Hopkins; has made photographs under the microscope of ihc growth of the liver and brain of guinea pigs to find out what factors are concerned with nor mal growth. The pictures show there is a critical period during the growth of tissue marked by the generation of energy. Flex ner is seeking what causes this energy to be generated, how it is stored, and what enzymes arc responsible for its release to cause growth.

Scott is seeking a simple test to detect cancer before it spreads from the Drostate to other areas. Certain parts of the body are constantly growing, even in adults. The huir, nails and skin, for example. The cornea of the eye also constantly Is, being re newed. Dr. Jonas S. Friedenwald has been studying the rate of growth and influence of different condi-, tions on this growth rate. He has found that X-ray and ultra violet rays, certain chemicals, and dietary deficiencies, especially lack of vitamin A,, retard cor neal growth. He Is now trying to trace the mechanism of these actions to the enzymes of the cells. N. W.
