Man ager Find WPA Head in Sympathy With Plan for Widening Port Runway B. J. Griffith, northwest regional WPA administrator, and aviation of ficial In general recognize Medford as a key airport, It was stated to day by Mayor C. C. Furnas following an upstata conference. With A. H. Ban well, manager of the. Jackson County Chamber ot Commerce, Mayor Furnas conferred with Mr. Griffith over the week-end regarding WPA assistance to widen the main runway at the airport to bring It to present department of commerce standards. The runway, Mayor Furnas pointed out, must be widened by 60 feet to permit United Malnllnera to land at night. Most of Job Complete. Most of the work of widening the runway has been completed, Includ ing grading and the laying of tile drains, and now SI 2.000 is needed to gravel the extra area, the mayor explained. It was to procure WPA financial assistance that Mayor Fur nas and Mr. Banwell consulted Mr. Griffith. Mr. Griffith Is In sympathy with the project, but said he Is still re stricted by the. WPA regulation which provides that not more than $0 may be put Into materials for each man labor month, the mayor stated. Mr. Or! fflth suggested, how even, that the aid of Senator Chnrl I. McNary be sought and this, the mayor said, will be done. Aviation officials consulted tn , Portland by Mayor Furnas and Mr. j Banwell agreed that funds should be allocated to bring Med ford a air port up to standard, the mayor re lated. "As a result of the conferences I feel sure that Medford will not be left out of the aviation picture," sstd the mayor. Kill ftpeak Here. Mr. Griffith promised to address a luncheon or dinner fonim here In the near future. Mayor Furnas stated. The trip to Portland did not cost the city anything as both Mayor Furnas and Mr. Banwell were In the northern metropolis on other busi ness and 'itlllwd their presence there to seek aid for airport developments.

(AP) Tracing 10 years of experiments. Or. George SpertJ, Internationally-known scientist and director of the Inatl tutum Dlvl Thorn ae, published today In the Institution's Journal results of new researches showing that ft direct cause of cancer lies In secre tions given off by Injured body cells. "Quito definitely, we have no cure for cancer," said Dr. Spertl, '"but. of course, that la a goal toward whicn we and many other scientists are working. Dlsroery Is htep. "It may be a year, 10 years, or a century, before any cure for cancer Is found, although we believe our discovery Is a step toward thst end." Dr. Spertl, st 37, Is a member of the pontifical academy of sciences and has been recognized In the field of science since his early 30s. Dr, Spertl modestly credited the find to two members of his staff, Dr. John R. Loofbourow and Sister Cecelia Marie Dwyer. S. C. Dr. Loofbourow asserted the secre tlons given off by Injured cells hod been found to stimulate cell prolile ration such as occurs In healing and that "cancer resembles an over-en- thuslastlcally henllng Injury." Dead cells, he said, do not expel the 'cancer hormone. Wounds, such cuts or burns, kill mo.it of the Injured cells and malignancy does not result, but If large volumes of cells are Injured over long periods of time, the production of stimulat ing products may be sufficient to cnuse malignancy. Heetiliitltm Needed. Dr. loofbourow said secretions given off by the Injured cells caused nearby cells to multiply. Such growth, uncontrolled, he believes to result In cancer. He said the research would continue toward finding a means to regulate this "community cell life." Experiments In proving the find, the scientist said. Included the placing of healthy cells on one side of a thin layer of permeable mate rial and Injured cells, healthy cells. or nothing on the other side. "Invariably, the healthy cells op pout te the Injured rHls multiplied y ' j t;i E m a 5 " it 4 5- K. Iii'd, Li, L A CHINA'S RED HEAD.

(Rllht) GASOMETER TEST proves Plymouth's amazing economy. Sea It at dealers. Anffa r rl I I- HOLLYWOOD. Calif (Spl.) Pinto Colvig, and Pinto Colvlg's trade, are two of the most curious things Hol lywood has ever produced. The tools of Mr. Colvlg's trade consist of two old pie tins, a hand vacuum cleaner. two water buckets, two laundry plun gers, a battered old clarinet, a bat tered old set of drums, some 60 or 60 other miscellaneous musical In struments, Including Jew's-harp, hand organ and ocarina, and an array of penny whistles that might make a unit for a museum. But first, an Introduction to Pinto. He began on the vaudeville stage, was graduated to cartooning, went with a circus, and landed In films when he made one of the earliest animated cartoons, "Pinto's Prisma Comedies." He gave up d rawing car tons, however, when he discovered hts greater value to them. Without much effort, and without any out-, side aid. except perhaps one of his curious Instruments, Pinto could and did Imitate practically any natural sound and give It an added flllp that made it Immediately and Irresistibly funny. He has moved over now to the Metro studios to work on the new cartoon there, "The Captain and the Kids," from the famous comic strip, which this company will shortly re lease but he was for years with Dis ney, and was the originator and operator of all sounds made by the third little pig in the ttaga of that , triumvirate. He can imitate a fish. In or out of water: a fly. beetle, a frog, a bird, a wagon wheel, an old motor or al most anything else you can name that emits sound. Of coump. Mke all artists, be strives to avoid direct imitation and achieve something ap proximating an interpretation, and it la Just in this process that the fun emerges. Pinto Just "naturally" makes the sounds, and audiences Just "nat urally" laugh. Makes Sounds First His Job now has progressed to the point where he doesn't have to look at the drawings of the animators first to determine what sort of sounds he Is going to make. He makes his sounds first now. and the animators do their beat to draw something to fit them. But there was a time, of course, when the longer, harder method had to be employed. He remembers his most difficult imitation as that of a very small bug which was to be ground under an auto tire In one of Disney's oar- toons. The bug was not to like the procedure, and was to protest with a loud bug noise. Pinto tried for days to create that bug's noise, but without success. Then one day, hav ing all but given up hope, he heard one of hla five children making a peculiar noise with a little paper whistle, and he realized In a flash that he bad his noise. The paper whistle had been obtained In pack age of confections: so Pinto bought up a number of boxes of the stuff, but found no whistles. He wrote to the factory he doesn't say, but there ia a suspicion here that he hadn't been very successful in his attempts j to get the whistle from his child and the president's secretary wrote back, to aay that the whistles weren't being made any more. She had. bow- ever, after searching over the whole plant, dlwovered three of them -In tbe adverts lslng manager's desk, and she sent them along. Today, they art Pinto's most prized possessions. Pinto writes bis score In over the regular staffs for tbe musical score on all cartoons. Over a prettily sen timental bit of music, for example, be may indicate the need for a "ka zoo grunt and a dull thump flam," or a "wet plop." or for Just a 'lightly squash and bit Iron thud." These words don't mean anything to any one else, but they are Pinto's lan gusge for bis sounds. He la, incidentally, only one of quite a number of people who earn comfortable living making sounds for the animated cartoons. They are the Commedla dell' Arte behind the scenes, hidden pagllaccl whose laughs and tears and other curious sounds are clothed In the little moving drawings on the screen. Metro's Cartoon Plant The new cartoon plant at Metro. of which Pinto is only a unit, la not uninteresting on Its own account. Here labor some 900 people of vari ous trades and arts whose only ob ject Is to give plessure. "Writers" draw thir "story" on some 150 or 60 squares of paper, under the supervi sion of a "director." who knows both drawing and dramatic and comic story values. Once the story Is ap proved. It is given to the animators, who draw the key figures and their key positions, then pass their draw ings to "in-between" men, who draw In all the action on many additional equares of paper. Qlrls Ink these drawings on celluloid, and paint the backs of the celluloid with opaque paints. When all this has been completed. the celluloids are given to the cam eraman, who palnstaklngtv shoot them one at a time. If each cellu loid were photographed once, it would take 25,000 to 45.000 drawings to make a 700-foot picture. But as many of them are used several times over, in different "repeat" combina tions, it usually takes a mere 10.000 to 18,000 drawings for a reel of picture. 4 Phone 642.
