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.

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. The parent cell stops re-

producing at a chemical signal
from the oldest members of its
colony, which is given when the
colony reaches a size predeter
mined by heredity.
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.

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.

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.
