EARLY SPOTTING OF DISEASE NEEDED
Cancer Detection Problem:
Not Enough Doctors for Job
Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 13 ) It would take all the nation'i
oociors, doing notning else, jusi to check everyone each year
lor cancer.
Such checkups would find almost all cancers, and find them
early enough when most could be cured. But our doctors wouldn't
have time to treat anyone for
cancer or anything else
This is the dilemma of can
ter detection as presented to 60
national experts today by the
American Cancer society.
The experts today are attend
ting a three-day conference to
determine the most effective
methods of finding cancer early
and surely.
It is estimated that 22,000.000
Americans now alive will die of
cancer unless present detection
methods are improved or new
treatments for cancer discovered.
The biggest need now is for
some simple test to spot cancer
early, even in hidden, hard-to-find
sites. This conference open
ing today will discuss the value
of many proposed or possible
methods of doing this.
Right now detection centers
can't be anything more than
part of the answer of finding
cancer early; society officials
said. A thorough examination of
one person takes about an hour's
.time.
nave a checkup once a year.
Men and women over 45 should
have two a year.
But twice-a-year checkups for
everyone would take the full
working days of 195,000 doctors.
The nation has about 160,000
practicing physicians.
There are about 240 cancer
detection centers now, the soc
iety reported. Most are booked
up weeks or months in advance.
Of all the people who come.

Boy, 12, Asks Question of
Interest to Star Gazers
By J. HI GH PRl'ETT
Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System
A 12-year-old boy who reads astronomy avidly asks if the
newly-announced asteroid which gets nearer the sun than Mercury
may not tbe the recovery of the planet Vulcan, supposedly dis
covered and lost during the latter part of last century, and about
which much was then written.'
Mercury had long been con
sidered the innermost of the
solar retinue of worlds. In 1857
however, a mysterious black ob
ject somewhat unlike a real sun
spot was reported moving across
the sun's face by the French
amateur astronomer. Rev. Les
carbault. It was later decided
that a new planet inside Mer
cury's orbit had passed between
us and the solar disk. This was
a fascinating iaea, ana omers
soon thought they glimpsed the
same or similar bodies.

The problem was taken up by
the great French mathematician
Le Verrier of Neptune fame. He
concluded that a certain irregu
larity in the orbital motion of
Mercury required a planet still
nearer the sun for its explana
tion. Mercury encircles the sun
in 88 days. Le Verrier calculated
that the new planet must make
the round trip in 20 days, surely
a short year. Someone named it
Vulcan after the old Roman god
of devouring flame, for anything
so near the fiery sun was sub
jected to terrific heat.
Finally on July 29, 1878, while
the sun was completely blacked
out by an eclipse, the astromo
mers Watson, Paine and Swift
were sure they saw not far from
the darkened sun, a shining
body which was definitely not
any known star. It seemed that
Vulcan had been discovered inj
a position which removed it I
from the category of "mistaken
sunspots." In fact, they believed
they saw two Vulcans.
Many astronomers became cer
tain of Vulcan's existence. At
the various eclipse camps in
California for the total solar
event of January 1, 1889, at
tempts were made again to see
Vulcan, but without success.
Then the belief grew that the
earlier observers were mistaken
Finally Prof. Young of Princeton
wrote, "It seems practically cer
tain there is no Vulcan." It has
escaped detection during the
present century.
The recently discovereo aster
oid, known so far as Baade's ob
ject, or 1949 M A, moves not on
a circular orbit but on a long
narrow oval. From the calcula
tions of Dr. Leland E. Cunning
ham of the University of Calif
ornia, recognized the world over
as an expert computer of plane
tary and cometary paths, Baade's
object when nearest the sun is
only about 17,000,000 miles from
it. (Mercury never gets nearer
than 28,600,000 miles.) After
swinging around the sun,' it starts
outward, passing near the or
bits of Mercury, Venus, Earth
and Mars, and does not turn sun
ward again until well out be
yond Mars. This round trip re
quires 13 4 months.
Is this the Vulcan of last cen
tury rediscovered? To the pres
ent writer it does not seem at all
probable.
