United Press Drama Editor New York iU.P.i The theater, ticket menace is getting more menacing? . Practically everyone with even the faintest connection with the Broadway "show business has had a headache since last Alarcli as a result of requests irom rela tives, friends, acquaintances, strangers and gypsies from outer space for aid in buying tickets for "My Fair Lady." ' The pressure for that is' still on, and now there are three mot such sleep-robbers in view. One of these, "Auntie Mame," starring Rosalind Russell opened Thursday night at the Broad hurst theater. It arrived with an advance sale of close to SI million most of which was rep resented by the pr-sale of com plete or half houses to charity organizations which raise money by selling tickets at a premium, with everything over the box of fice price going to good works. Mail Order Sales The rest of the advahce was represented by sale of tickets by mail order to the ever-growing Orphans Hame Shook By Explosion Friday Great Falls. Mont (UP.) St. Thomas Orphans Home was rocked by a violet e plosion here Friday, but 25 Roman Cath olic nuns evacuated the 284 chil dren in the building without injury. Three men, two employes and a bystander, were injure!. Eighty-five of the children live in the(!ome arPd the others were attending classes wher the blast rocked the four-story brick struc ture at 2:20 p.m. The nuns organized the chil dren and the grip filed out of the buildirj Firemen, who quickly controlled a'small fire in a corridor. aid the" children were "standing out there" just like a bunch of little soldiers" when the fire equjnent arriv ed. The expTosion rocked houses in t',1 area, blw out all the windows of the home and 'three big drunks of" wood and glass for 60 to 70 yards. . Fire department officials said the blast was apparently caused when a digging, machine, work inf nessby, broae a natural gas line. O number of persons taking advan tage of this purchasing method w'hen they scent that something is going to be so popular it will be hard to get into by going to the box office. This means that for the first four months at least, most of the eight weekly performances of "Auntie Mame" already are sold out. Only Friday and Saturday performances escape the unit sales to organizations. In the case of such hits, the press agent usually gets two pairs, of seats for each perform ance that-he -can sell to contacts on newspapers and periodicals who need to keep some of their own contacts happy, by enabling them to buy tickets at the box- Dulles Undergoes Major Operation Washington (U.P.) Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles underwent a major operation Saturday for removal of a per forated section of his intestines. Doctors reported him in "satis factory" condition last night. State Department spokesman Lincoln White said tissue remov ed from Dulles' colon was be ing subjected to "routine" labor atory tests to determine wheth er cancer was involved. A medical bulletin, issued shortly after 9 p.m. (EST), said: "The condition of the Secre tary of State in the immediate post-operative period has be come stabilized and is satisfac tory. The 68-year-old cabinet officer was rushed to Walter Reed Army medical center early to day for a suspected acute ap pendicitis. The operation re vealed, however, that he actu ally had a perforated colon, a portion of the intestines. . Dulles was wheeled into the operating room at 1:35 p.m. (EST) and was on the operating table for 2 1 i hours. HOW OTHER HALT LIVES Danville, Va !U.R) Assist ant Prosecuting Attorney James Ferguson got a brief look at the other side of the coin when an accusing finger was pointed at him in court.

In the case of "Auntie Mame," how ever, the press agent has these pairs only for Friday and Satur day nights no matinee tickets at all for the first four or five months. The season's second headache of this nature will be the Ethel Merman musical comedy, "Hap py Hunting." The advance here already is well on the way to the $1,500,000 mark, thanks to theater parties and mail orders. This will be a new record, and, of course, there will be precious few seats available at the box office for any performances be fore next spring. The show opens on Dec. 6. Judy Holliday Starring The third candidate is "The Bells Are Ringing," a musical due Nov. 29. This one has Judy Holliday as the star and she, like Russell and Merman, is a sure fire attraction and has drawn the ticket bids of the theater party brokers and mail order customers in hearty fashion. If it is any consolation to the ordinary ticket buyer, the regu lar ticket brokers who charge about a dollar per ticket over the box office price for service and who periodically come un der attack as "villains" of the theater, have almost as much trouble getting tickets for such hits as he does. Some weeks they get no allotments at all in the early months of such shows. The scalper, of course, is al ways present in such cases with the ability to come up with tick ets for S25 or S30 or S50 a pair for those who want them badly enough to pay. Growth of Animal Tissue Cells Seen as Closer Cancer Victory New York. N.Y. Animal tis sue cells can now be grown al most completely in chemical so lutions compounded in the labo ratory, a development which promises to bring closer the final victory over cancer, it was stated this week by Dr. John J. Biesele. professor of biology at the Cornell University Grad uate School of Medical Science. "Techniques of tissue culture have advanced remarkably in recent. decades, said Dr. Biesele. "as compared with the methods in use half a century ago when Dr. Ross G. Harrison, then a young biologist at Yai- Universi ty, succeeded for the first time in growing animal cells outside the living body. When Harrison began his work, it was possible only to keep tissues of a lower animal embryo alive for a few days. Today many kinds of cells can be cultured and multiplied indefinitely. Cells of mammals, including the human, are culti vated in the test tube in much the same way as colonies of bac teria. Progress is being made to ward the goal of growing them in completely synthetic media, so that the effects of t y ingredi ent can be measured precisely. Two living Needs "We can describe these im provements," Dr. Biesele ex plained, "as meeting more ef fectively two living needs: shel ter and food. The first covers the mechanics of the abode in which the cells grow. Pioneer scientists sheltered the colonies in clotted blood plasma. This method had two drawbacks: the composition of the ph.sma varies. U. $. Warns About Use of Weapons Washington i'U.R) The Unit ed States Saturday warned Brit ain and France against using American aid weapons in their attack on Egypt. The warning was delivered in London and Paris after Britain admitted that some U.S. military equipment already had been used in the Anglo-French air as sault on Egyptian bases. The state department announc ed that it also has sent "remind ers" to other nations in the em battled Middle East that U. S; military air was furnished for "defensive purposes only" and must not be used in the conflict. The United States Friday cut off military air shipments to Is rael because of its attack on Egypt. Earlier, it had cut off mil itary aid for Egypt because of its arms deals with the Communists. Colorado is meaning red. a Spanish word NO PAVING West Mifflin, Pa. (UP) The borough council, usually be sieged by citizens seeking paved streets, was pleasantly surprised when Percale Todd requested that the council promise that it wouldn't pave the street in front of his new home. Todd explain ed that he couldn't get financing for his house unless the council made the promise. WARD ONE VOTER? DIAL 3-5113 DO IT NOW! Pd. Adv.

The Mail Tribune issue of October 28, 1956, page 9, reports that District Attorney Nunley had on October 26 filed motion for dismissal of two assault and battery charges filed by a wife and daughter against their husband and father. The complaints were dismissed because Nunley "felt the case was a matter for the domestic relations courts and it would not be in public interest for him or his deputies to take action." Aren't a married woman and her daughter entitled to the same protection of the laws as other persons? VOTE 120-X Thomas J. Reeder DEMOCRAT FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY for EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS Democratic Party of Jackson County, Larry Sheehan, Chairman and it is difficult to cut the clot into absolutely uniform pieces when the population of cells is needed for further experiments. Many institutions have con tributed to the problem's solu tion. Dr. Wilton R. Earle and his co-workers at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, for example, developed a most valu able technique for growing tis sue on perforated cellophane or even on the walls of the glass vessel itself. Some are now cul tured in agitated suspension in the nutrient fluid. Equal prog ress has been made in the mat ter of feeding. Dr. Harry Eagle of the National Microbiological Institute in Bethesda has grown various cell strains in a nutrient mixture supplemented by no more than 10 per cent of serum I taken from living animals. In the case of one strain of mouse j cells the nutrient is completely j synthetic! j Means of Comparing "A principal aim of tissue cul-: turists is to find a reliable means of comparing the re sponses of normal and cancerous cells to various chemical agents i under conditions outside the body. One drawback inherent in this method of testing is that ' the investigator cannot be sure ; whether the cells in a given tis sue culture are the same as the normal or tumorous cells orig inally taken from the animal j body. Despite the technique's j imperfections, however, it prom- j ises to become a very valuable ; help. After all, cancer patients do not come in triplicate, and a test of an anticancer agent has little meaning unless it can be repeated in a number of iden tical situations. Moreover, tis sue cultures grown in synthetic media, and hence subject to pre cise experimental control, should be valuable simply for identify ing substances capable of attack ing cancer cells. Chemicals above a certain level of potency can then be tested further in animals to determine whether they are toxic to normal cells. "Even this limited use of tis sue cultures for screening," Dr. Biesele concluded, "would great ly increase the number of com pounds that could be investigat ed and might bring closer the final victory over cancer."
