Har vey's desk grew lurger today and he said they were "enough to break a man's heart." The letters, from all over the country, were from the families of cancer patients. Each one im plored the University of Illinois to treat a mother, a father, or some other loved one with its 26,C00,000-volt betatron. The powerful atom smashing and X-ray producing machine is the only one of its kind in the country designed for cancer treat ments. But Harvey, chief radiologist at the university's medical school, said that each of the requests must be turned down. The beta tron is limited in what it can do, and the university has more than enough charity patients on its lists already. ; "It's really pitiful," he said, picking a Handful of letters from the pile. They read like this: "Mother is dying" of cancer," . . . "The doctors have given up hope for our son," , . . "There isn't much time Call at Home "They even call me at my home," Harvey said. "They beg and plead, and some even cry." Harvey said he had tried to prevent it from happening. When the betatron first was used on a human being last August, the university announced that only a ' selected few charity cases in Illi nois could be treated. But the frlst results were so dramatic they apparently raised hope1 of cancer patients across the nation. The first patient, a 72---year-old man suffering from an inoperable cancer of the throat, was reported "healed" last month. "Healed," Harvey said. "Not cured. There's a difference." The cancer might recur, he said. ' "I wish people could under stand," Harvey said, "that the betatron still is in the experi mental stage." Patients selected, he. said, are volunteers who cannot be treated by any other means. Harvey said the betatron Is "ex tremely limited." It is designed to treat only deep-seated tumors which cannot be reached any other way. It also is designed for treat ment of only the head, neck, and upper chest. He said it cannot be used on widespread cancers or those which have progressed too far. "And you must remember," he said, "a goodly number of cases which could be treated are sim ply insensitive to X-rays." Thus.Harvey said, the Unlver sity of Illinois betatron can be used effectively in only about 10 per cent oi cancer cases. New Method Used In Silk Printing Tallahassee, Fla. (Ill An ex. perlment by William Boughton, Florida State university oro fea sor, points to a better and cheap er method of silk-screen printing. Boughton experimented with the old Chinese art for eight or nine years. He found thp an swer in a small bottle of "Mas- kold, a commercial product on the market for years. Maskoid. which costs less thnn $1 a bottle, is much like rubber cement. It is used In art work much as masking tape is used in automoDlle painting. The professor said that in hours he produced a full color picture which under the old tech' nlque would have taken days. ChVB HOLDS DANCE Redmond, Jan. 16 Undismayed by weather conditions the Seven ty and Five dancing club held ;ts scheduled dance Saturday night at the VFW hall at the airhaso.

Giant paper candles provid ed a background for each table at the cabaret-type dance. Mrs. Ber nice Willis and Mrs. Grace Lines were in charge of the snack bar. Shoplifting Now Declining, Report By Detective Chicago, Jan., 16 'tl'i Shoplift ing is one type of crime that is on the downgrade, a veteran store detective said today. . Arrests are on the increase but the 'take" in stolen items is on the decrease, said Detective Oren Ed wards, head of the house protec tion bureau of one of the coun try's largest department stores (Marshall Field & Co.) Fear of arrest is the chief fac tor in the decrease, he said. "All the large stores now have protection services that work di rectly with the police depart ment," he said, 'and most people know that." Many potential "amateur" shop lifters as a result probably are discouraged before they get in volved, he said. Most of the "pro fessionals" or "repeaters" are so well known they're watched from the moment they enter the store. l ew Kleptomaniacs Edwards said he "very rarely" runs into a case of "true klepto mania, although many women claim to be kleptomaniacs and say they take things because they can't help it. Most all shoplifters are women, he estimated. They fall into sev eral classes. "There is no 'shoplifting type' any more than there is a special criminal type," Edwards said. They look Just like you and me." Few ever take anything they need or even can use, he said. The juveniles are an exception. They sometimes take articles that they want but their parents have refused to.buy for them. Juveniles often work In groups or two or three, he said. Adults more often work alone. 'The juveniles frequently act as if they think they've done some thing smart," ne said, " i ney don t seem to know they've done any thing , wrong, because they say their friends do it. They come from nice homes, too." Women Confused Women usually take things they would never use, he said often "with no apparent motive. Edwards said they seem often to be "emotionally dlsturoea or 'confused." Others steal because they need or want money. Very few first of fenders fall in this category, he said. Mostly it's the "profession als' and sometimes drug addicts who can't get jobs and need the money for more drugs. Edwards said the bureau offi cials use their "judgment and ex perience" in deciding what to do with a first offender, n tne indl vldual seems likely to become a repeater, they have him arrested and booked. Hi he seems honest and apparently has learned his lesson, he may bo freed with a warning. The system works pretty well, Edwards said. Not many of those who are warned come back. Edwards said the number of ar rests for shoplifting has gone up, but he said the increase Is because more offenders are being appre hended. He said the drop in the amount of shoplifting being done these days is Indicated by a "consider able decrease in shrinkage, or the amount of store goods lost through theft In recent years.

The notice is chiefly for the benefit of prospective new set tlers from the mainland. It's not that the islands want to be snob bish, but they have 33,700 of their own to find jobs for first. Labor director E. B. Peterson figures the chances are 50 to 1 against newcomers walking right into jobs in skilled or unskilled trades today, While he hesitates to call the situation "hopeless" for fear it will demoralize islanders looking for work, he admits he finds it hard to sleep some nights fret ting over the situation. Aitwer sought "I don't see the way out right now," he said. "But we're work ing on it. There must be some answer." Hawaii's unemployed ranks have soared at a phenomenal rate since year's end punctured the boom created by its role as the warehouse for Pacific troops. Thousands of war workers were stranded by shutdowns in military installations. They don't want to leave. Sunny Hawaii is a wonderful place to stretch out under palm trees, swim on Christ mas day, and carry on in a care free tropical manner, Some Leaving Added to those were workers dropped during the recent long shore strike. Most of them are being absorbed again, but it's tak ing time. Peterson said some people are leaving the Islands and easing the situation a bit But he says on a long-range basis, it's not good. "Most of them are people who know they can get jobs some where else," toe says. "In other words, we're .losing our above average workers."
