HELD BENEFICIAL AS CANCER CURE Cyclotron Rays Are Latest Hope In Treating Disease Three-Year Test Made i San Francisco. Cl. OJ.O After being used three yean In experi mentation on 153 cancer patlenti with radiation created by the cyclotron of the University of California the atom-smasher has been established as definite beneficial agent in the treatment of that disease. This announcement was made before the Radiological society of America by Drs. Robert S. Stone and John C. Larkln, who have been conducting the experiments ever since it was first felt the neutron rays generated by the cyclotron might have a therapeu tic value. i Experiments first were tried on rats and other cancer-inflicted rodents until it was known de finitely that the rays did break down cancer cells. . Then the experiments began on humans. Only patients ac cepted were those already re garded as incurable, or those who were not responding to the usual treatments by X-rays, radium, surgery-and other meth ods. ; Many Apparently Cured Of the 153 patients who were given the new treatment to date, 24 received the therapy from the original 83-ton cyclotron In vented by Prof. O. Lawrence, Nobel prize winner. They were not included In the final report on the 129 others whose treatment was given by the more powerful 223-ton cyclo tron that was built later. Of these 129, BO died, but the other 61 are still living and many of them apparently free of the disease. No Curt-All . The two scientists emphasized that the treatment is not to be regarded as a rure-all for cancer, but that there is every reason to hope that it will prove more beneficial than the X-ray, the most powerful, anti-cancer weap on to date. Sorrowful Clark Gable 1 OL V.' f ' -V- V. Clark Gable presented this picture of sorrow as he left a hotel at Las Vegas, Ner., for an auto ride as plans for the funeral of Bis wixe, tno mm acirm, t,aroi bgrnoBin, wng w jcuiva ten? with 21 other persons in the crash oi a TWA air transport near the Nevada city, were made. The treatment consists of sub jecting the patient to radiation that penetrates diseased tissues. This consists of a neutron ray or beam of atomic particles that are generated when the cyclotron is smashing up other atoms. This ray produces a marked shrinking of the tumor and eventually kills the diseased cells. It is also capable of killing other cells that are not diseased.

UP)- Clark Gable, turned from swash-buckling, carefree prank ster into a depressed, grief stricken recluse by the tragic death of Carole Lombard, will seek solace in work. The fun-loving screen star was so anguished by loss of his beautiful blonde wife that he wanted only to be alone. Friends became worried over his de pressed brooding. He has left a friend's home only twice since he brought Miss Lombard's body home Wednesday morning to attend funeral services for her and her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth K. Pet era, that afternoon, and services for his friend and publicity man, Otto Winkler, yesterday. "You've got to find something to occupy your time; something to do with your mind besides brood," friends told him. So Gable agreed to go ahead with the picture on which he had done one day's work "Somewhere I'll Find You." He didn't set the date and the studio didn't ask him to. "We will wait until Gable feels that he is mentally and physically able," a spokesman said. There is no parallel case of any star losing an equally fam ous wife or husband so tragical ly and soon going, back to the lots. Crash Victims SALMON BITES FISHERMAN Nehalem, Wash.
