Stomach Cancer Detection Made By New Process NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (lf)-A prac tical method for detecting "silent cancerous growths in the stomach was described at the annual meet ing of the American Cancer Soci ety today. . Dr. Russell Wigh of the Colum bia University Presbyterian Hos pital Medical Center, New York, said the method, called "PhotolU' orography,' , could, when put into widespread use, save thousands of lives. Ovei- 25,000 persons die of stom ach cancer every year because their condition was discovered only after the cancer stopped being "si lent," too late for surgical Inter vention, he added. "Skilled Radiologists ('There arb enough skilled radi ologists in the country to permit - large-scale application of his pro . cedure," he. said. "It can be hoped that ultimately photofluorography lor gastric cancer will be employed much as tho now familiar tuber culosis X-ray examinations. "FYom the individual's stand' point, the need for early diagnosis of gastric cancer is certainly ns great as the need for early diag nosis in pulmonary tuberculosis. The death rates for the two diseas es currently are about the same.'1 The method is the taking of a scries of photographs of the func tioning stomach. When interpreted by radiologists, these photographs . Indicate the presence or absence of gastric growths with a high de gree of accuracy, he said. He said it costs less per test than the Pa panicolaou smear test for Uterine cancer, which is in widespread use and is credited with saving the lives of thousands of women. Great Virtue' ' ' "" . And Its great virtue, he added, was that it makes possible the ex amination of large 'numbers of per sons. The. comparatively few with suspicious stomach abnormalities could bo given a more comprehen sive checking. '. "The great danger of gastric can cer is that many people are walk ing the streets with latent cases and no Bymptoms that would 'take them to a doctor'," Wigh said. "If the cancer is not discovered until , it becomes symptomatic, the chances of cure are slim, However, the widespread use of phototluoro- graph, as a test for non-symptomatic people, would reveal cancer in a stage when its curahlllty rate is comparatively high. Chiang Requests U. S. Permission To Invade China TAPIEH, Formosa, Oct. 21 IP) --Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek asked the United Slates Tuesday to let Ills troops Invade the Chin ese Communist mainland. . The Nationalist President made the request at a press conference, his first since he came to Formo sa In 1949. At the outbreak of the Korean war in June 1950, President Tru man directed the U. S. 7th fleet to see that the Nationalists did not attack the mainland and to prevent any Communist invasion or r ormosa. Chiang endorsed a proclama tlon issued Monday by the Kuo mlntang, the Nationalist govern' mcnt party, contending that only the liberation of mainland China could stop Communist aggression In Asia. He urged formation of a Pa cific anti-Communist front. .1 VOTE WHILE tW Pinay's Regime In France Totters PARIS, Oct. 21 IIP) -Premier Ahtoine PInay's government Xac- eu possible collapse Tuesday un less It throws its full weight be hind the European army plan a keystone of U.

Constructed primarily a s emergency landing field, the La- Pine air strip, just south of the Junction of tho Fremont and The Dalles-California Highways, is now available for cross-country airmen seeking a safe landing spot, It has been announced by the Oregon State Board of Aero nautics. "This emergency landing field Is located In one of the most hazard ous areas of the state, and in a section where we have had more aircraft searches than any other part of the state", the OSBA an nouncement states. "It is extreme ly advantageous to the private flier in making cross-country flights. through this urea to have the assurance that there Is an emergency landing strip avail able," the announcement adds. A chart of the LaPine flight strips appears In the current Is sue of the Oregon Air News, OSBA publication. The strip is 2500 feet long and about 200 feet wide In an area cleared of Jack pines.

Some GI's Won't Be Hdme So Soon As They Expected WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 tin war broke 'out in 1950 are now GI's who were due to be rotated winding up tneir two-year terms home from Korea this month ce-,,ln.ey e repiac- have been given the bad news rsi; rotation gets second pri mal mey ii nave to sweat ii out a while longer, The Army said a manpower squeezo, which has bean develop ing for months-, made lt necessary to raise the October "rotation- score" from 36 points to 38 points. That means that enlisted men must put In from two weeks to two months more time overseas to become eligible for a return to the United States. Under the ro tation program, a GI' gets four points a month for front-line com bat service, three points a month for service In forward areas, two points a month in other parts of Korea, and one point a month in Japan. ., ' , : The squeeze was caused by an Increasing number of expiring en listments.

But he emphasized that "we want to keep up and .will keep up the rotation .policy in Korea." An Army spokesman said today the-Army does not contemplate even a temporary suspension of rotation. It will be up to Clark to decide wnetner the .November rotation score will remain at 38 points, be lowered to 36 again; or even rais ed higher. Officials do not expect the latter. orlty. "Gen. Mark W. Clark, far east ern commander, made the tied sion to increase rotution' points. He based it on figures showing how many men he must have to quell renewed enemy thrusts and how many replaeements are avail? able., - . ."'...:-i.'''. Even if enough replacements were available for all expiring en listments and for all men with 36 points, officials here said, Clark can't afford to have his units become top-heavy with green men. . : The Army wants every replace ment going into battle to have combat experienced veterans, at his side. x Gen.

Fonliod, Oftcoa, TOMORROW'S TELEPHONE How we're thinking and planning ahead to bring you still better, more useful service Tho telephone service you enjoy today would bo almost unrecognizable to telephone men even a generation ago. For, whilo we obviously can't put out a new "model" of service every year, changes and improvements in telephone equipment, facil ities and service come steadily. Even the beat is never good enough to those who create it for you. Your telephone it one of today's best bargains The many new telephone developments In re cent years have both improved service and have helped us grow to meet tremendous de mand for service. We've grown to fast, in fact, that we now have over 10,000 more telephone opera tort than were on the job tea year tgo. This new telephone handset allows us to use smaller wires to link telephones with the central office which means a saving for defense needs of some 3,000 tons of copper in the Bell System dur ing 1952 alone. Another new development automatic mes sage accounting equipment will keep tab on out-of-town calls dialed direct by telephone users. This will reduce our costs of providing service... a saving which is passed along to you as it helps us hold down the rates we must charge for service. The new handset, simplified auto matic accounting and customer dialing of long distance calls are just three examples of how we're planning and building today to keep your telephone service the best in the world. ) Pacific Telephone CARE ENOUSH TO SHAKE ENOUGH-COMMUNITY CHEST Lodge Official Sets Visit Here Jared W.
