Drs. Werner Heim, David Ap pleman and H. T. Pyfrom of the University of California discov ered that weed-killing amiiio triazole has the same effects as cancer on an important but lit tle understood body anzyme. The enzyme is known as cata- lase and occurs in red blood cells, the liver and kidneys. Its role in body chemistry is not known. The scientists found that when amino-triazole was given to experimental animals that catalase levels dropped in the liver and kidneys, but re mained the same in the blood, This is the same effect on the enzyme as that produced by can cer growing anywhere in the body. This identical action promises new clues to the biochemistry of cancer, the scientists believe. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK Portland Wholesale hay prices ISO. 2 green alfalfa, baled, f.o.b.
