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

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

discovery of a cure for cancer is
going on in tne lanoraiories oi
the Johns Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore,
Eight scientists, attacking the
problem from a diuerent ap
oroach. are working in their
laboratories tracing down leads,
any one of which they think may
result In a cure, or at least the
discovery of some treatment
which may halt the progress of
the dread disease.
"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

cancer may lie in chemicals made
available to body tissue. 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. '

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.
