By SOL FOX United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Cancer ex perts speak optimistically of early detection as the means for a higher rate of cure, while at the same time deploring the diffi culty of getting people into the habit of regular medical check ups. The American Cancer Society is in the midst of a campaign to impress on people that the way to fight cancer is with a check up. Their figures are impressive. The ACS reports that last year 80,000 Americans who discover ed cancer in time were cured. Another 245,000 Americans died of the disease in 1955. This potential cancer victim had no particular reason for anx iety, but he hustled over to a local cancer detection clinic, one of msny established in American cities since World War II. These clinics cooperate with private physicians. They are available for those who, for one reason or another, haven't taken a med ical examination at their own doctor's office. The clinics for ward any findings to the pa tient's physician. This writer didn't expect any findings. He showed up as sched uled at the NYU-Bellevue Med ical Center's cancer detection clinic Vnd was greeted by Edith M. Ryan, the supervisor. A quick change from street clothes to a hospital gown and the pa tient was ready for the examin ation which takes about two hours and costs $20. It began with a chest X-ray and a blood sample, the first to search for possible lung cancer or other diseases, the other to hunt out possible signs of leuk emia or other blood disorders. Next came a general physical. At NYU-Bellevue, all the exam ining doctors are specialists in ther fields. An internist, a spec ialist in internal medicine, check ed the medical history, concen trating on possible hints of can cer, but covering the entire area of the circulatory system, glands, skin and organs. Next, an ear, nose and throat specialist checked those areas. Finally, a proctologist made an internal examination of the low er colon. For women, there is a final test by a gynecologist, specializing in forms of female cancer. Then, while the patient chang es back into street clothes, the specialists forward their reports to Dr. David Goldstein, head of the clinic. He analyzes the re ports and gives the patient a clear picture of his physical con dition as revealed by the tests. An intense, young-looking but veteran cancer-hunter. Dr. Gold stein explained that fewer than one in 100 patients at the clinic turns up with cancer. But, he added, in his lucid, rapid-fire deskside manner, the examina tions do more frequently turn up other ailments. In this case, Dr. Goldstein re ported some irritation of the nasal tract nothing serious, but it wpuld be advisable to cut down on smoking. Additionally, the proctologist had discovered a condition in the lower colon, pesky but -minor, which could use treatment by my own doctor. That, of course, was what the patient basically had come .to learn. He left happy and deter mined to follow the advice on the' nasal and colon matters. Also to get a checkup every year because, obviously, you can't fight what you don't know. On The Side by e. v. Durimg , (Distributed by Kinf Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Director , to theological schools of " all John Farrow begs that any men interested in playing Christ in his film will write him and not show up on his door step or tele phone at the crack of dawn. The mo vie m a k e r's an nounce m e n t he was launch- Aline Moeby ing an on-the- level talent search for an un known to portray the teacher has made him the most popular man in Hollywood. "I've been inundated with phone calls," Farrow said today. "One woman from South Dakota called me at home at 6 in the morning. She wanted her hus band to play the role of Christ because he is 'Christly by na ture.' " Tall Tale Told One man arrived at the direc tor's home and announced he was Christ. Another woman tel ephoned that, in the Bridey Mur phy manner, she had been at the foot of the cross in some previ ous life. But Farrow's qualifications rule out most applicants. He ad mits his search may be limited faiths. '"I could take a man from a monastery, say, and put him back in again," he said. "I even would like to. try to keep the man anonymous although that would not be possible." The role in "Son of Man," to be filmed in 1957, would not mean a screen career for the winner. Farrow will sign him to a 20-year contract for the one picture with the provision the man never act again. ' Explanation Given "I wouldn't want him playing a gangster or slapping Anita Ek berg around in some other mo vie," said Farrow. ' Farrow is one of the nation's experts on theology. He has been writing books on religion for 20 years. He's worked on the "Son of Man" script for three years. It has been approved, he said, by leaders of the Catholic, Protes tant, Jewish and Moslem reli gions. - "This is not the story of any one church," he said. "It is the story of Christ and his teachings. The film will have universal ap peal." Interested persons may write to Farrow at RKO Studio, Holly wood 38, Calif.
