part, an Intensive cancer re
search program is being inaugu
rated under direction of eminent
medical and scientific men of
the country. Oregon will par
ticipate in this and also in the
nation-wide educational pro
gram, to make every person fa
miliar with the early symptoms
that might mean cancer, and
with the urgency of having im
mediate diagnosis and treatment,
should such symptoms be noted.
The Oregon division of the
society, in addition to carrying
on this intensive educational
campaign throughout the state,
is making a number of special
gifts for the benefit of cancer
patients. These include a special
X-ray tube for deep therapy
treatment of the disease to tlic
University of Oregon Cancer
cliujc, which treats indigent pa
tients from all parts of the state.
This is especially adapted for
the treatment of cancer in young
children. The Oregon division
' will also pay for the rctubing
and recalibrating of the radium
owned by the clinic.

Berkeley, Calif., Aug. 15
(U.R The University of Califor
nia Cyclotron, where studies of
the utilization of atomic power
led to the awesome atomic bomb,
will be used to open vast fields
in the post-war treatment of di
sease by means of artificial ra
dioactivity. Dr. John H. Lawrence, physi
cian brother of famed Physicist
Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, in
a statement outlininng medical
development In the field of nuc
lear physics, said today contri
butions to human welfare whicn
will come from the research
"have implications for the future
which may be more important
even than the atomic bomb.
Bomb Not Goal
When Dr. Ernest Orlando Law
rence began his studies of the
structure of matter that led to
the Invention of the cyclotron
and a Noble prize, he was think
ing neither of production of
bombs nor treatment of disease.
Physicists under the leader
ship of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheim
cr turned their attention to the
atomic bomb when war came
and medical men too, were en
gaged in wartime problems.
But the Lawrence brother
team already, had found the cy
clotron to be a perfect instru
ment for the production of arti
ficial radio-activity. And Dr.
John Lawrence now heads the
newly creajed division of medi
cal physics for the university, to
engage in research leading to the
conservation of life.
To Attack Problems
Medical and biological prob
lems now may be attacked by
teams of physicists and medical
scientists. Dr. Lawrence said.
Radioactivity has opened the
study of human disease from a
basic viewpoint the fundamen
tal process of plant and animal
life and the chemical processes
of the human body.
Specific diseases mentioned
by the physician were cancer,
leukemia and polycythemia vera,
a rare disease of the blood. Ra
dioactive chemicals are already
an established treatment for the
latter malady.
Experimental neutrol therapy
in the treatment of cancer will
be extended, he said.

VET
Washineton. Aug. 15 U.R)-
In the reconversion job scramble
veterans were guaranteed prior
ity of referral today but the
ticklish question of job seniority
went unanswered.
The veterans placement ser
vice board directed that wher
ever there is an office of the
United States employment ser
vice there must be a division re
sponsible for veterans' prefer
ence.
Rule Binding
'In filling orders for workers
any qualified veteran shall be
given priority over all non-veterans,"
the board said. "On all
orders specifying veterans no
non-veterans shnll be referred.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Mines,
board chairman and retiring
veterans administrator, said the
order for veterans' preference
was binding on all offices and
may not be altered in the field.
Other board members, created
under the GI Bill of Rights, are
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di
rector of selective service; and
Paul V. McNutt, war manpower
commissioner.
llines did not mention the
problem of super-seniority,
preferred status demanded by
some veterans' organizations as
a guarantee that where unem
ployment exists it will not be
veterans who go without Jobs.
Seniority Unsettled
Prospects that an official
policy will be laid down on
seniority were dwindling. Only
selective service has touched the
question formally and its edict
has been questioned.
Other phases of the board's
order on veterans' preference by
the U.S.E.S.:
1. When veterans are avail
able for whom no order is on
hand the veterans representative
shall try to develop on opening
in the industry in which the ap
plicant is qualified.
2. Veterans needing employ
ment counseling should be serv
ed by a specially "trained coun
selor who should be a veteran.
3. Special preferential ser
vice shall be accorded a disabled
veteran by all personnel and for
all jobs for which they arc
qualified.
4. The veterans representa
tive shall serve any veterans
having unusual problems and
every veteran shall have the
right to see the representative.
This service may include advice
on hospitalization, loans and
other benefits.
5. Where the office has more
than one station for reception of
applicants, one or more shall be
designated for veterans and shall
preferably be attended by a vet
eran. In a recent directive to local
boards selective service said the
right of a veteran to his old job
was strong enough to displace
any non-veteran, regardless of
length of service of the non
veterans. That set off a conflict
over super-seniority.

The Man
You
Seldom
See
Up In the locomotive cab of your train sits a
man you seldom see. Perhaps you never catch
a glimpse of him although he is responsible
for taking you to your destination.
-i
Union Pacific, like other railroads, has certain
exacting requirements for an engineer. The
man who pilots a passenger or freight loco
motive has served years as a fireman . . ;
knows the function of a locomotive's many
pads ... is thoroughly familiar with operat
ing rules . . . has passed a rigid physical exam
ination and been periodically re-examined. In
short, he is well qualified, both mentally and
physically, to handle his Job.
Care in selecting and training employes has
been a big factor in establishing the enviable
Union Pacific record for safe and dependable
transportation over the Strategic Middle Route,
uniting the East with the mid-West and the
Pacific Coast.
Another "man you seldom see" is many miles
away, doing his part to speed total victory.
Let's bring him home and quickly. You can
help by buying bonds saving them and then
buying more.
