5 Senators Each
As Native Sons
By Warren Duffec

Washington Mi Massachu
setts and South Dakota rate only
two senators each, just as every
other state, but each can claim
five as native sons.
Besides the pair representing
each, the two states are the birth
place of three other senators.
Alabama, Iowa and West Vir
ginia run Massachusetts and
South Dakota a close second with
four native sons each sitting in
the senate.
But this moving around Isn't as
unusual as it sounds. A survey
. shows that only (!6 of the 9G sen
ators were born in the states
they represent.
Bay State Rates High
Virginia and Ohio both claim
to be the "mother of presidents.1
but Massachusetts and South Da
kota leave them behind on sen
ators. Besides its own two senators,
Republicans Leverett Saltonstall
and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., Mas
sachuetts natives in the senate
are Sens. Paul H. Douglas, D.,
111.; Joseph C. O'Wahoney, D.,
Wyo., and Charles W. Tobev. R.,
N. H. ,
In addition to its own republi
cans, Sens. Chan Gurney and
Karl E. Mundt, South Dakota also
is the birthplace of Sens. Edward
J. Thye, R., Minn.; Hubert H.
Humphrey, D., Minn., and Clin
ton P. Anderson, D., N.M.
Minnesota is not the only state
to have both senators born in
. the same outside, state.
Born In Same Town
Both of Virginia's members,
Democrats Harry F. Byrd and A.
Willis Robertson, were born not
tfnly in the same state, but the
same town Martinsburg, W.Va.
and only two weeks apart.
Nine states can claim three
senators each as natives Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Missouri,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and
Wisconsin.
The combined total of senators
born in Massachusetts, South Da
kota, Alabama, Iowa and West
Virginia is 22, almost one-fourth
of the senate membership.
That bunching up also means
that six can claim none as an
original son. They are Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, New Hampshire,
Virginia and Washington.
Alabama's four are its own
democratic Sens. Lister' Hill and
John J. Sparkman as well as
isens. Kenneth McKellar, D
Tennn., and Claude Pepper, D
Fla. . ,
Iowa Challenges
Besides Byrd and Robertson,
West Virginia is the birthplace of
Democrats Harley M. Kilgore and
Matthew M. Neely. ,
Iowa challenges with Its own
two, Sens. Bourke B. Hlcken
looper, R., and Guy M. Gillette, D.,
as well as Sens. Hugh Butler, R.,
Neb., and Zales- N. Ecton, R.,
Mont.
Only one of the current mem
bers was born outside the United
States Sen. James E. Murray, D.,
Mont., a native of Canada. The
session started with another
former Sen. Robert F. Wagner.
D., N.Y., a native of Germany but
he resigned because of poor
health.
One was born in the District of

Too Many Workers
Mitchell also declared that the
importation nf Mpvi c;in nnliftnul-d
and the utilization of displaced
persons In farm work is "partly
responsible" for agricultural un
employment. He charged that displaced per
sons are being used "to break
down the agricultural wage struc
ture" and urged that displaced
persons' skills and professions be
utilized In other fields than agri
cultural work.
In other action yesterday, the

Veteran Glass
Blowing Vigorously at 82
Ithaca, N.Y. ili'i A veteran of
65 years in the glassbiowing art
is still blowing strong at Cornell
university.
Henry M. Banta, possibly the
c o u n t r y's oldest active glass
Diower, entered the profession
when even common window glass
was mown Dy nana.
A vigorous 02, he continues to
practice his craft on a part-time
basis at the U.S. plant, soil and
nutrition Juboratory on the cam
pus here.
Recalling his early days in the
profession, Banta tells of Ger
man master blowers who were
brought to America to train ap
prentices in the industry.
tnese men were so jealous of
their art that they used to work
In stalls, Just like horse stalls, so
their neighbors couldn t learn
their trade secrets," he said.
Machines Not Perfect
The machines of today can re
produce many of tho operations
of the artisan, but even so they
cannot uupucaie tn? precise,, In
tricate work of the skilled blow
er, according to Banta.
lianta became a glass blower
In 1884 when he Joined the Edi
son company in Menlo Park, N.J..
as a dollar-a-week apprentice. He
quickly became proficient in the
new skills.
One of the most difficult Jobs
B:inla undertook for Edison in
volved the creation of miniature
lamp bulbs less than a quarts!'
of an inch long.
buch bulbs are used today by
doctors to locate foreign objects
in tne windpipe or stomach, but
at the time that Banta helped de
velop them they wer mainly
employed for probing open
wounds and for locating dental
cavities.
Worked in Europe
Bnnta Joined the Moore Light
company in 1912 and was sent
abroad to Install lighting fixtures
in European stores and theaters.
He put up the first modern mar
quee lights at the famous Savoy
mentor in London.
He relates that no sooner had
he finished installing tho 173 feet
of glass tubing than a group of
nign-spinien young woods pranc
ed up to the then tor on horse
back, cracking and snapping their
whins in the air. One nf the!

Cancer Victims
t
Get Some Hope ;
Chicago 1111 A cancer special
ist reports that accessible cancers
such as those of the skin and
mouth are still the most curablp,
i, Ho said the cure rate in inac
ccssible cancer is still low, being
less tnnn JO per cent in a five
year clinical treatment.
Dr. L. Henry Garland, San
Francisco, published his findings
in tne American Journal of Koent
genology and Radium TheraDV.
Garland said the most common.
ly curable cancers are "tlios of;
ine sum, moutn, breast, uterus
and rectum." He continued:
"The cure rate in early acces
sible cancer is encouragingly high
from 65 per cent to 95 per cent
of treated cases, depending on the
site and type of tumor. The abso
lute cllnicul cure rate, all cases
and stages considered, is estimat
ed to be about 40 per cent in this
accessible group.
"The cure rate in Inaccessible
cancer is still low. Tumors of the
stomach, colon, prostate or lung
give a five-year absolute clinical
cure rate of less than 10 per
cent."
He recommended increasing at
tention to the curable cancers
which can be detected by simpl"
examination early and often
cured.
"Proper heed . to tns group
should double our present over all
cure rate." he said.

Two Americans
Slain by Natives
Philippines
By Ralph Teatsorth
'United Prom Staff Cormponilcnt)
Manila, P. I., Jan. 1G Ui'i- Barrel-chested
Ifugao natives in the
northern Philippines murdered
two American college professors
by plunging seven-foot, metal-
tipped spears into them, it was
disclosed today.
The victims were Marvin Pitt
man, 29, and Dr. Robert J. Conk
lin, 59, both of whom conducted
classes at the University of the
rmlippmes. Conklln was a Ful
bright exchange professor from
Springfield (Mass.) college and
I'lttman's ratner, Dr. Marvin S.
Pittman of Statesboro, is a widely-known
Georgia educator.
Pittman and Conklin hjd been
missing since Christmas in the
wild country north of Baguio, the
Philippines summer capital in
Mountain province on the Island
of Luzon. They entered the hills
on a hiking trip.
Bodies Found
The U. S. embassy announced
that their bodies were found yes
terday in a densely-wooded area
seven miles east of Tokukan,
where the spear-carrying, sturdy,
almost-naked Ifugaos roam.
Parties seeking the educators
by land and air for three weeks
reported Pittman and Conklin ap
parently had been slain Dec. 25
or Dec. 26.
They said robbery apparently
was the motive and that three of
their slayers had confessed and
three more were being hunted. All
will be tried by Philippines au
thorities.
The bodies were discovered by
members of a search party com
posed of American embassy offi
cials and Philippine constabulary
troopers. Mrs. Pittman, who went
to Baguio when her husband fail
ed to return to Manila on Jan. 1,
planned to return to Manila with
her four-month-old child immedi
ately. Will Be Removed
The embassy said a ground unit
from the 13th U. S. air force
would remove the bodies.
The murders of Pittman and
Conklin raised to four the num
ber of Americans reported slain
by natives in wild Luzon territory
this week.
Last Monday the Zambales
(province) constabulary said the
headless torsoes of two American
ex-servicemen had been found in
Oguic, a village in Zambales.
The former servicemen. Paul H.
Sarles and Frank Jirgl, were' be
lieved to have been the victims of
moutnain headhunters along the
west coast of Luzon. The Ameri
cans, missing since mid-Novenv
ber, conducted a fruit-growing en
terprise in the region.
Sarles' wife and brother-in-law
were believed to have been taken
captive by the headhunters.

Rubber Springs
Used on Tractors
New York LP Rubber springs
which take the jerks and bumps
out of riding a tractor have been
developed by United States Rub
ber.
The springs operate on a tor
sional shear principle. They con

sandwiched between two metal
plates. The rubber is fastened to
metal by a special brass plating
process.
The snrinps are mountpd in
pairs ori a new tractor seat now
being produced. As the tractor
rides over rough ground, the rub
ber twists and turns with each
bump and jolt, cushioning the ini
tial shock and leveling out the
sharp rebound which normally
occurs with the use of a heavy
steel spring.
