Sugar Treatment Said to Keep
Some Cancer Victims Alive
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Preu Bclenc, Editor)
New York, Jan. 24 ) The American Cancer society announced
today a drug treatment for cancer which it said has kept a few
persons comfortable and productive for four years. All had been
given only a few months to live.
The treatment is a polysaccharide, a complex form of sugar,
Woman's Love
Wins Freedom
Cleveland, O., Jan. 24 W3)
Love of a woman for a near-
blind veteran of the battle of
the Bulge won her freedom from
a mail theft charge yesterday
In federal court.
Mrs. Elaine H. Hanley, 27,
was placed on probation after
Federal Judge Emerich B. Freed
heard this story:
Aloysius Hanley, 29, almost
blind from war wounds, started
making leather goods so he
wouldn't be a burden to any
one. His fiance now Mrs. Han
ley took them and told him she
sold them at the hotel where
she worked as cashier.
Al's morale went up. He pro
posed. She accepted but four
weeks after their marriage she
was arrested and charged with
theft of S395 in checks from
mail addressed to the hotel's res
idents. Tearfully she told the court
the money she stole went to Al
for the leather goods except for
a little she kept "to buy some
clothes and other things we'd
need when we were married."
Announcing he was placing
her on probation, Judge Freed
said I'll take the risk involved
1n setting you free but I don't
think the risk amounts to much."
Ore., Tuesday, January 2i, 1950
obtained from germs known as
I bacillus prodigiosus. The an
nouncement was credited to Dr,
Hugh J. Creech, of the Institute
for Cancer Research, Phil a del
phia, which has been working
for four years on this cancer
sugar.
"More than 130 far-advanced
cancej- patients have been treat
ed," said today's announcement.
"None is considered permanent
ly cured. Most of them seemed
to receive at least slight benefit."
"Between 20 and 30 per cent
were helped in one or more of
several ways tumors shrank,
pain disappeared, weight in
creased, appetite returned, more
or less normal activity was re
sumed and there was a sense of
well-being."
What this sugar treatment
will lead to was not predicted,
but Dr. Creech said there is
enough encouragement to work
on these sugars for at least 10
years.
Similar sugars we're at the
base of the famous Coley's fluid
which years ago was said to
have caused some sensational
cancer cures. The fluid was
abandoned when the medical '
profession was unable to get !
consistent good results." 1
The bacteria sugars are very
poisonous. They require a big
dose to kill cancer cells. Thoy
seem usually to kill cancer cells
faster than healthy tissue cells.
Examples are mouse cancer,
in which big doses cure 30 to
40 percent of the animals, help
another third, and kill the rest.

Tax Message
Hits at Movies
Washington, Jan. 24 (U.B)
Some of the top money-makers
of Hollywood, Broadway and
radio row will have to give the
tax collector a bigger share of
their earnings if President Tru
man's tax reforms are enacted
The President singled out the
entertainment world in his tax
message as one place where the
government's revenues could be
improved simply by plugging up
existing tax loopholes.
He suggested also that life in
surance companies and oil and
mining interests be made to pay
more taxes.
Mr. Truman said that motion
picture producers and their star
performers, for example, can
take "unfair advantage" of the
difference between regular in
come taxes and capital gains tax
rates by incorporating them'
selves temporarily. By that de
vice, their income from making
a single film is taxed at the lower
capital gains rate, which might
run to only one-third of their
regular income tax.
A capital gain is profit result
ing from sale of property. The
property sold in this case is the
completed movie. The capital
gains tax is limited to 25 per
cent, while the top bracket per
sonal income tax is 77 per cent.
Many prominent motion pic
ture, stage and radio stars have
used the incorporation device to
save money on their taxes.

Cheap Way to Turn Sea Water
Into Fresh Water Long Way off
By WILLIAM B. HATCH ,
Washington, Jan. 24 U.R) Engineers said today it may be pos
sible to find a cheap way to transform sea water into fresh water
on a big scale. But, they added, it will take a long time.
Government officials, from President Truman on down, hope
the engineers are right about being able to do the lob cheaply
because they look to sea watery
as an answer to future water
shortages. In fact, Mr. Truman
asked congress in his 1951 fis
cal budget for $500,000 for such
research.
It long has been possible to
convert sea water into drinking
water. But, engineers said, the
initial cost of doing it on a big
scale is almost prohibitive
about $1 a gallon.
For example, the engineers
said, it would cost more than
SI. 000, 000, 000 to build plants
and pipes to handle New York
City's requirements of about
920,000,000 gallons a day.
Greatly increased use of wa
ter for home, industrial and ir
rigation uses has underlined the
necessity of finding new sources
of fresh water.
Mr. Truman emphasized that
point in his budget message.
And Secretary of Interior Os
car L. Chapman wrote reoently
that California will have reached
the limits of its normal water
supply by 1975. By then, Chap
man said, California will be us
ing more than one trillion gal
lons of water a year for indus
trial and drinking purposes. He
said this means that new sources
of supply will have to be found.
So far, the navy has done all
of the government's experiment
al work with sea water. It has
installed distilling units on ships
and on some Pacific islands.

known as ion exchange through
chemistry. This method was used
during the war on life rafts for
shipwrecked sailors and downed
airmen. Through this method,
survivors could produce a few
quarts of drinkable water from
the sea with a distilling kit. But
it was expensive.
Griscom - Russell Co., New
York, has done most of the work
for the navy. Engineers for that
company estimate that they
could produce distillation units
which would produce between
60,000.000 and 120.000.000 gal
lons of water daily for New
York.
"The cost would be very
high," Kenneth Ris, president of
the company, said. "But it could
be done with our present equip
ment. The original cost would I
be in excess of 560,000,000 fori
such plants, but the fuel costs1
wouldn't be too high once the
plant got under way."

Los Angeles, Jan. 24 'P) "I

I want to eat whatever I want,

She made the statement yes

Lora Lee claims she was pun

many other veterans, Chuck also wanted a business

more. Harold Kohlmeier and Gil Mever of the

Teamwork with 7,200 independent
businesses makes Ford's business
possible -and vice versa
Henry Ford II, President of Ford Motor Company,
recently said, "One of our greatest assets can be a
large group of supplying organizations that is alert, pro
gressive and money-making."
It's easy to see why. Each year Ford Motor Company
buys $700,000,000 worth of products from 7,200 indepen
dent manufacturers and dealers in 43 states. Producing
everything from asbestos to carburetors, these suppliers
make possible Ford's annual production of over a million
Ford, Mercury and Lincoln cars and Ford trucks and
tractors. That's why it's a basic Ford policy to help each
supplier become a sound, profitable business.
Ford is a big customer, and a good one, too. Certainly
Ford is cost conscious. You have to be when a difference
of li on a part makes a difference of $10,000 a year. How
ever, Ford pays fair prices. Ford wants its suppliers to be
profitable businesses and is always ready to help them
improve operations. Ford facilities and experience pur
chasing, engineering, manufacturing and management
are available to all suppliers to help make their businesses
better.
After all, Ford Motor Company is not just a collection
of buildings and machines. It is an organization which
enables many men to work together to create products
they could not create alone. Essentially, Ford itself is
organized cooperation. Ford has found it good good busi
ness and good citizenship to extend that cooperation to
the suppliers whose products are so vital to its operation.
The prosperity of these suppliers and that of their hundreds
of thousands of employees is equally important to Ford
and to the nation.
It's part of the Ford idea of good business . . . making
the best possible products in the best possible way ...for the
benefit of all.
6. MANAGEMENT MEETING today finds the company growing. It
has 30 employees, makes 150,000 washers a year for Ford, has other
customers, and is developing new products. President Neufeld
works on those; Vice President Bachrach works on sales, and Tyty
takes care of Chuck's home and baby girl. The Delman Corporation,
of Des Moines, Iowa, is doing all right as one of Ford's 7,200 inde
pendent suppliers. It's part of the Ford idea of good business . . .
making the best possible products at the lowest possible cost.
