RUHS IM BACK OF HIS DIGGINGS Oregon Doctor Discloses Newest Theory on Cause of Cancer Cells Portland (U.R) A new theory which suggests a universal cause of all cancer has been disclosed by Dr. Edwin E. Osgood, head of the division of experimental medicine at the University of Oregon medical school. The theory suggests that can cer is caused by the absence of regulating chemicals which nor mally control the growth of bil lions of individual cells in the human body. Dr. Osgood's the ory also suggests a universal cause for absence of these chem icals the untimely death of the cells which ordinarily produce them. Produced by Mature Celli Dr. Osgood, writing in the CHARLES D. HOLBROOK TAX SERVICE Jjckion Hotel Building PHONE 2-5969 Evning by Appointment Prion 2-8840 Eves. T February Journal of the National Cancer Institute, concluded from experiments conducted here that the absent chemicals are normal ly produced by the mature cells of the body which make up skin, bone and tissue. The missing chemicals are called "inhibitors" by scientists. Dr. Osgood said these inhib itors exert control on immature parent cells that in- the course of growth hold back and fail to develop mature characteristics. The parent cells replace the ma ture cells of bone and sinew as the lattergrow old and die a continuous process necessary for health. His theory is that to be able to do this they retain their primi tive capacity of unlimited growth, and are held in check only by secretions of the mature cells which they produce. The theory indicates that contrary to popular scientific belief the mature cells cannot become can cerous. In maturing they lose the capacity to reproduce, an ability they cannot later regain. Parent Cell Responsible Each parent cell is said to be responsible for maintaining a certain population of mature cells.

Dr. Osgood suggests that in cancer the delicate genetic ma terial of a parent cell becomes injured. The damaged cell starts turning out defective daughter cells. Lacking strength of nor mal cells, they die young, never reach the age at which they would have started to secrete growth regulating "inhibitor." Without the inhibitor to check it, the parent cell does not know when to stop reproducing itself, the theory says. Therefore it grows wild, reverting to the un-. inhibited growth pattern of all primitive cells, trying futilely to reestablish its normal colony of progeny. The result is cancer. Should Study Healthy Cells Dr. Osgood said present re search concerns itself too much with cancerous cells. Instead, he said, experimentors should work with healthy, normal cells, try ing to isolate the inhibitors miss ing in cancer. He said that when cures come they will have to be tailored to fit the individual. The reason for the shortened life of the daugh ter cell must be found, he said. It is likely these cells will be found to be missing one of their enzymes, the super chemicals which regulate their life pro cesses. He said that if the theory proves correct, a cure can be achieved only by supplying the missing enzyme. A total of 894,575 persons vis ited Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota in 1956. Is That So? By Eugene Burnt Ranger-Naturalist Elephants, camels, horses, mules, oxen, dogs, pigeons, fal cons, and canaries have been used for warfare in the past but it took World War II to use bats in a very hush-hush maneuver aimed to burn down the enemy's industrial centers with incen diaries. The bats were enlisted in a most dangerous branch of war fare a bat suicide squad, design ed to carry incendiary bombs into enemy territory for the pur pose of setting fire to industrial centers and ammunition dumps. Free-tailed bats, such as fre quent Carlsbad caverns, were used and there are some 100, 000,000 of such free-tailed bats in the southern U.S. Each bat proved capable of carrying a bomb-load three times its own weight that would be a one- ounce time-bomb. This was strap ped on the bat's chest and it was actually larger than the mammal itself. When exploded, the bomb produced a 22-inch flame that burned intensely for eight min utes, enough to set fire to almost any wooden structure. In tests, the bats were packed individually with their bomb- load into refrigerated crates, much the way eggs are packed. Kept below 40 degrees, the bats remained dormant and required no food. These crates were then carried in planes and dropped by parachutes which gave the bats time to warm up and be ready to fly at 1,000 feet. When the crates were opened with an auto matic mechanism, it spread up to 5,000 one-ounce bomb-carrying bats over an area of some 125 square miles! Bomb Left To Do Work In tests, when released these little bats would crawl into a nar row crevice of some building, chew off their harness, and con tinue on their way, leaving the bomb to do its deadly work. In one test, near Carlsbad, N.M., a model village was burned to the ground and a cou ple of bomb-happy incendiary bats which escaped burned up the auxiliary air base nearby. At about this time, the Navy took over the bat brigade, states Rod erick Drimmer, editor-in-chief, of The Animal Kingdom (Grey- stone Press, N.YJ and dubbed it "Project X-ray." When the atom bomb was nearing completion in 1944, Project X-ray, costing $2,000,000 was suddenly dropped either be fore or soon after it was put into operation in Japan. Since then nothing but mystery has shroud ed its end.

Chou Declares U.S. Aggravating Tension Tokyo ;U.R) Communist Chi n e s e Premier Chou en-Lai claimed today the United States is installing guided missiles on Formosa to "aggrevate tension" in the Far East. He caller' on Chinase every where to join the Red cause and "crush U.S. imperialist plots." The Red leader, recently re turned from a tour bf 11 Asian and eastern European satellite nations, made a 15,000-word ma jor foreign policy speech in which he labeled the Eisenhower Doctrine a "new American Colonialism" that endangers peace in the Middle East. He said he was willing to ne gotiate international disputes with the United States peace fully, but insisted the United States is expanding bases on Formosa and installing guided missiles there to "aggravate tension." Leon R. Sally is selfish, she should come home. Sally R. I don't want to sacrifice my ambitions. Leon R. I am 23 years old and I have been working in my father's business for the past three years. A few months ago my father died and now I am in full charge. I have a sister who has been living in the city for the past two years. She is two years old er than I. I feel that she should come back home to be a comfort to my mother and to help in the business. Sally hates our town and the business, but I think she is very selfish to do just as she pleases and give no considera tion to me or our mother. Sally receives a regular, in come from the business and it has supported her all her life. She believes she has talent as a singer, but she has been study ing for five years and I don't see anything coming out of it. I am not doing exactly as I please by remaining in this business, but I feel there is such a thing as duty. Sally doesn't seem to recognize this. Sally H. My family has nev er believed that I have any ab ility or should expect anything in life except to settle down in our town, which I have always hated, and raise a family. My teachers, however, have a dif ferent idea and have given me much encouragement. I feel that I have a wonderful career ahead of me. I don't tell Leon what to do. If he wants to sell the business and do something else, it's okay with me. If the money is prop erly invested, it would give my mother an adequate income for life. Leon could do anything he likes. He has always acted as though I am getting away with something while he is chained to the business, but the truth is that he likes money too much to part with the good income he is now getting. I am willing to do without the money the business now gives me and give my share to mother. I feel sorry about my mother. Maybe I am selfish, but I don't want to sacrifice my ambitions. The Council: Selfishness and The Atlantic is the saltiest of the great oceans. Have You Heard About . . . SNIDER'S P. C. PLAN! duty are not always clear-cut is sues. The question of the quant ity and quality of each enters the picture. According to the facts given, Sally is not being overly selfish. She is not leav ing a destitute mother out in the cold while leading an extrav agant, futile existence. She is working for something she wants very much. i am not doing exactly as 1 please," says Leon. This is the real crux of the problem. Leon begrudges his sister the freedom he feels he doesn't have and he wants to see Sally to make a sacrifice too. But Sally points out that other possibilities are open to him if he is willing to make the same economic sac rifice she is ready to make. Leon should consider Sally's offer of her share of the income if he believes it will compensate their mother in some measure for the lack of Sally's presence. ; Sally may perhaps be a little less highhanded in disposing of this income if she sees that Leon is serious about either cutting off her share or selling the bus iness in order to do something he prefers to do. If that is the case, Sally may find that she must make a real sacrifice of either the money or her ambi tions. In any case, Leon should de cide what he wants to do for himself If he wants to stick to the business and its good in come, he will know he is doing it because he really wants to and will not resent his sister's efforts to achieve what she wants.
