The Public Health Service today set in mo tion a vast program to test thous ands of chemicals in a search for a drug to cure cancer. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele announced the award of contracts for the work to five laboratories. He said they will begin work at once. At present the only cancer cures come from surgery or rad iation. Some forms of cancer, such as acute leukemia cannot be treated at all in this way. Other forms may be diagnosed only after they have spread throughout the body, too late to be benefited by either surgery or radiation. Chemical treatment appears to offer the greatest hope in such cases. Compounds now in use have successfully prolonged the use ful life of patients suffering from some non-operable cancers. But these compounds are not cura tive. The laboratories awarded the contracts include the Stanford Research Institute, Menlo Park, Calif.

Rakosi said Rajk and his as Communist Hungarv admitted j sociates were tried on "false today that former Foreign Min-1 P r s e n t e d against T , ., j . ,u them by Gen. Gabor Peter, the ister Lazlo Rajk and four other , toTmeT chief of Hungary's secur. Red leaders were "innocently i jty police. tried and executed" in 1949 in ! The "show trial" of Rajk and one of the last of the great Stal-1 his fur associates was one of in era purges. Rajk, the onetime police boss in Hungary , who rose to even greater prestige as foreign min ister in 1948, was executed in 1949 with four other Hungarian Communists as a traitor. Until today Hungary had held him up as one of its worst examples. Radio Budapest announced today the Supreme Court of the Communist nation had re-examined his trial and "rehabilitat ed" him and the other four vic tims of the purge. The Com munists have used the term to mean restoring someone's good name. Quotes Rakosi Speech The radio quoted a speech by Matyas Rakosi, the Communist boss of Hungary and first secre tary of the Hungarian Workers (Communist) party at a party meeting at Eger. He admitted they had been wrongly tried and executed as state enemies. Rajk was the first major Com munist leader in a satellite state to be "rehabilitated" since the recent Communist Party con gress in Moscow started its cam paign to downgrade Josef Stalin and to repair some of the "en ormous" harm he did. Rajk "confessed" during his trial that he and his compan ions were conspiring with Yugo slavia to overthrow the Com munist regime in Hungary. Ra kosi's speech broadcast today strongly indicated the alleged confession was a forgery. Falling in Line The speech, also published in today's "Szabad Nep," the cen tral organ of the Communist Party of Hungary, showed Hun gary was falling in line with Russia in confessing the errors of Stalin's "cult of personality." O&C limber Salvage Speed-up Announced Washington U.P.) Interior Secretary Douglas McKay to day announced an amendment to Oregon and California lands reg ulations designed to encourage speedier salvaging of damaged and dead timber in OC lands. The amendment gives Edward Woozley, director of the Bureau of Land Management, discretion ary authority to waive market ing restrictions governing the sale of O&C salvage timber whenever good forest manage ment requires it. McKay said "the bureau now has full authority to proceed with the lifting of any or all area marketing restrictions with out holding a public . hearing, where the effect on the economy of a timber-dependent commun ity would be negligible or in cases of emergency where speed would be the governing factor." Packaged Poultry Weight Errors Found Salem . (U.P,). The State Agriculture department said to day a number of weight and labeling violations had been turned up in checking cut - up poultry sold in Willamette val ley stores. The check was made in 22 plants from south of Portland to Eugene which pack poultry for retail channels and in 64 retail stores. Weight and label violations were found in 12 plants and label violations in one additional plant. In the retail stores, 59 were found selling packages of poultry which did not weigh as much as the label said, or which were not labeled to show the entire weight. Only one store was entirely free of violations on either count, and in four stores no weight labels were found on pre-packaged poultry.

Planting was started by a small crew last Monday on the Applegate ranger district and additional men will.be added to the project as snow recedes from the higher country, Wood said. In another three weeks the Ashland, Butte Falls and Union Creek ranger districts expect to begin planting. Heavy snow pack has delayed the work. Douglas fire, Shasta red fir, ponderosa pine, Jeffery pine and sugar pine are being planted with nursery grown stock. Large numbers of the trees were carried over to this spring after last fall's early snows stopped planting. Both regular forest service employees and contractors are doing the work. , , Creswell Farmer in Korea for Orphans Seoul, Korea 4J.P.) '. Harry Holt, the Creswell, Ore., farmer who last year adopted eight Ko rean war orphans, said today he returned to Korea to set in mo tion an "orphans assembly line" that will put more than 1,000 more homeless waifs in new American homes. Holt said he hopes to place the Korean-American children in homes in 46 states before the end of the year. Interrupting spring planting on his 350-acre farm, Holt re turned to Korea this week as adopting agent for American families requesting war orphans. Under the national refugee act of 1953, U.S. citizens are permitted to adopt by proxy one or two war orphans if an Ameri can resident of Korea acts as their intermediary. The act ex pires this year.
