Mr. Alfred S Black
Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Dear Mr. Black:
A couple of months ago you dropped in to see me, and as the
result of our meeting I wrote a column asking for suggestions on
how to best spend the $2,000,000 left by your brother to the Black-
Stevenson foundation to provide “preventive and remedial tre a t­
ment for cancer sufferers.”
And I was plenty happy when you phoned a week after the piece
appeared and told me you had received 4,000 letters, many from out­
standing medical men and research organizations.
Well, this is letter No. 4001, and

And since there’s a 50-50 chance
of curing cancer in its baby stages,
it figures that some 50,000 lives
could be saved annually—either by
local medicos or by specialists and
hospitals equipped to deal with the
malady.

Trygve Lie and Truman
Here Is the inside story of what
happened when U. N. Secretary
General Trygve Lie met with Pre­
sident Truman and Secretary
Acheson following Lie’s return
from Moscow.
Lie first reported on the strong
di sire for peace which he found
everywhere from Moscow to Wash­
ington; then asked the President
to consider sending Acheson to a
pccial meeting of the United Na-
t a ns security council In Geneva
this summer, a meeting which he
said was Imperative to keep the
United Nations from collapsing
Mr. Truman's reaction was im­
mediate. He promptly said he
could do no such thing; that it
would be a cruel hoax to play on
the American people when there is
absolutely no chance of agreement
with Russia.
The only thing Russia under­
stands, the President argued.
Is force, and the West Is going
to build up its own force until
Russia realizes the democra­
cies mean business. After that,
perhaps a meeting with Russia
might produce some good.
As it is now, Truman told the U.
N. secretary general. Russia is
boycotting the United Nation* be­
cause it won't seat Communist
China—just like a little boy who
says he won’t play In the game un­
less he can be captain of the team.
