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.

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.

GRIEVING GABLE
TO SEEK SOLACE
Hollywood, Jan. 23. 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.
