July 15. 19S Unseen Substance Creates Controversy Among Scientists in Cure of Cancer By DELOS SMITH United Presi Science Editor Copyright 1957 by United Press New York W According to one recognized cancer expert, a substance he has never seen caused some cancers to disap pear and pulled their victims back from the brink of the grave. Ai you scarcely need to be told, that is what hundreds of scientists at a cost of many mil lions of dollars have been look First Blood In late fall, 1916, I came down from a season as a logging team ster for the McCloud River Lum ber company, packing a sheaf of poetic scribblings in my bedroll. Four of the items seemed fit to send to magazines. The Saturday Evening Post was first on the list. And there all four met a welcome two sonnets, a 12-line lyric, and an ode of 48 lines. They brought a personal note from the great editor, George Horace Lorimer, and a check for $55. Two were published in the Nov. 11, 1916. issue of The Post, the others! flrJIII STEVENS tST Ip: later. Here's one: "A world for each! A world for all! It seems to be the mystic plan That each man's soul shall be a world. The common world around a man. "Alack! The world's a piteous thing. And gets new ills as years unroll; And millions bring astounding cures. But no one brings perfect O soul. "Now here's motto for the good. Who want all flags of evil furled: First, mend the world within yourself, Then doctor up the common world. . . As my 90-year-old mother still says, "What a business for a grown man!" ' Cow Tale It had begun on a July day of 1907 when 1 took pen in hand and wrote 'a piece' to send to the editor of Hoard's Dairyman at Fort Atkinson, Wis. No word came from the effort until the Sept. 13, 1907, issue arrived in Weiser, Idaho, where I was in a school called the Idaho Indus trial Institute. And it carried my story. I was in print. In a few days the editor sent me ONE dollar. The story was a plain news report. Its title was, "Dairying at the Idaho Industrial Institute." TABLE ROCK Mosquito Spray Effective Br R- E. NEALON Table Rock From reports we get from many parts off the community, it seems that the mosquito epidemic has subsided at least for the present. The county control rig has made several trips through here, and a large part of the west and north ends, including Sny der creek, were douse with dust from an aeroplane, which, those who favor this method claim, did the trick, Later, Charley Hoover of For est Acres added his weight to the battle bringing over a gadget which looked like a cross be tween a blacksmith's forge and a hand organ. Out of sympathy for his Table Rock friends, Charley brought the dingus along to show them how they could rid their yards of 'the pests, and keep 'them out, with a small investment. As Charley went around the yard demonstrating the machine it reminded one of the pied piper, only in reverse, as the insects were in a mad scramble to get away, while perspiring Charley was rushing along try ing to get close enough to sprin kle their tail ends with the dead ly dust, which came out in dense clouds with each turn of the crank, An application for a license to serve beer with meals has been applied for by the pro prietor of the newly-opened cafe located in the Forest Acres subdivision. There seem to be many people in the vicinity who are opposed to this son oi dusi ness in their midst. The sixteen members of the Ray Doran clan gathered at the Ray Doran home July 1 to cele brate the 26th birthday of David C and the second birthday of his son, David Shane. A buffet dinner was served outdoors, with Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smith as other guests. Mrs. Ray Bosworth returned recently from Lee Schmidt. Mo., where she attended a term of school at the Unity Head quarters school for teachers and received her diploma, which en titles her to teach unity. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hull have ing for these many years. But according to almost all if not all other recognized cancer experts, this substance has done and will do no such thing and is, in fact, worthless. There you have the heart of a bitter fight which has been rag ing inside cancer research science for almost six years a fight of one cancer scientist against almost all if not all his colleagues. The fight now is being taken It began, "The Institute is not a reform school, as the name might indicate, but an industrial school where any trade may be learned among others, dairy ing. "The herd is composed of 44 cows. The dairyman is a gradu ate of Cornell Dairy school and runs the dairy at a monthly profit of from S5 to $25 per cow, thus making the dairy one of the chief sources of revenue for the school. . . ." The magazine survived, is still leading its field. Some time ago Editor W. D. Knox had the Sept. 13, 1907, number dug up and my first professional piece of literary endeavor was copied for me. It had been a long haul, from age 14 to age 64. "The Five-Dollar Piker . . Another well - remembered piece of writing was done in 1910. That summer I did a hitch with a mule team, swamping in the clearing of railroad right-of-way through big timber at Linnton, Ore. Hayden Brothers was the contracting firm, an outfit that let poker games run on Saturday nights and Sundays. A team-hand could "drag" time checks from wages due at the camp comissary. The man who would "set in" at a game with only five dollars worth of chips was termed "five dollar piker." I tried it twice, and failed. And then was moved to write a ballad. . . . "When the sun sets behind the fir trees In camp on a Saturday night. There's music that seems to be calling And you forget it ain't right. . . ." And so on, through the sad story of a grading -camp lad whose mother was mourning at home alone for him, keeping a light in her window, while her boy lost his wages at draw-poker. I recited the ballad to the men in the big game, and one who was "flush" "staked" me to a five-dollar stack of chips. I instantly lost it, but I had made another step on the way to be coming a professional writer. returned ' from a motor trip to Glacier National park, in Mont., and through the orchard sec tions of Washington and north ern Oregon. A recent birthday party was given at the Croxton home in the Duggan subdivision honor ing the 15th anniversary of Miss Alice Croxton. Attending from here were Bill and Don Ryan Linda Doran, Richard Morris, Carl Vanderpool, Wayne Wyatt, Linda Pirkey and Penny Taylor. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Ferrin of Logan, Utah, visited last week at the Elmo Stallings home. Mrs. Ferrin is Mrs. Stallings sister. Several of the Table Rock younger set went to Sams Valley Saturday and took part in - a baseball game with Sams Val ley ball players. Later in the evening the group went to the Taylor picnic grounds on Rogue River for a wiener roast. Recent visitors at the Guy Nel son home were their son, Jack Nelson and his wife and two children of Astoria, Ore., who spent the past week there. Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Don Long and three children of As toria, Ore., who were recent overnight guests. Long is Mrs. Nelson's brother. Miss Janet Hultin, a niece, whose home is in Bandon, Ore., has been a fre quent visitor at the Nelson home. Pear thinning in the Table Rock and Hodoc Orchards here will be finished this week. News of the birth of a baby boy, Mark Alfred, to Mr. and Mrs. James Lewis of Forest Grove, on June 30. was received by Mr. and Mrs. Orville Hamil ton, who are leaving Saturday with son, Ernest, for a brief visit at the Lewis home. A cablegram from London. England, with the words, "ar rived safe and well." was re ceived by the J. S. Richardsons Sunday. The wire was signed by Donald Richardson. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Dunn and their baby. Karen, are spending a few days visiting at the home of Mrs. Dunn's sister, Mrs. Dean Inglis, in San Francisco. into the arena of the general public where there are no recog nized cancer experts but only people who long for something anything which works against cancer and through taxes and contributions pay. gladly, most of the high costs of cancer research. Reader Becomes Judge Whether or not you feel up to it, as a non-expert, you're going to be asked to judge the merits of the fight and influence the outcome if you haven't been asked already. The askers are the one embattled scientist and an organized group of earnest, convinced non-experts led by Gloria Swanson,sthe film star. The scientist is Dr. Andrew Conway Ivy, professor of phy siology and head of the depart ment of clinical science, Univer sity of Illinois. The substance is called "Krebiozen." His contentions are: Krebiozen has been tried in hundreds of cancer patients and demonstrated to he "biologically For a Wide Variety of Mason Jars" ncjji Mli Kerr Jars Jelly GIassess;Voz! 89c Cerlo Liquid Pec,i" ' 29c Freeze Bags Kordite Qts.

The studies of the activity of Krebiozen in cancer patients made in 1951 and 1952 under the auspices of the American Medical association and the Uni versity of Illinois (which found Krebiozen to be more or less worthless) were contaminated by bias, ignorance, and down right dishonesty. Therefore, they proved nothing. Enterprise Man Killed in Tractor Accident Enterprise (IB J. E. Cam eron, about 60, was killed Satur day when the tractor he was driving turned over on a steep hill and the left rear wheel ran over him. The accident occurred on Wood Butte Lookout, on the for mer ranch of a Fred Herring, which Cameron had just bought. He is survived by a wife and two sons. Canning Needs . . .

Opponents' Contentions The contention of his scien tific opponents are: K"-r e b i o z e n has been thoroughly and scientifically tested already, and has been found to be worthless against cancer beyond quibble or doubt. They rely upon the two studies which Ivy challenges; Ivy himself is honest and sincere but he has been "de luded" or "duped" by persons seeking to exploit cancer pa tients and their relatives. It is unspeakably cruel to hold out a "worthless" ' sub stance whose existence even has to be in doubt, as a "magic cure" and thus deflect cancer patients from the two things which might really cure them surgery or radiation.

Strom Thurmond asserted Satur day the scheduled airlines' vol untary program for limiting of drinking on commercial air liners "appears to have broken down." The South Carolina Democrat said he would press for early hearings on his bill to ban the serving of liquor on transport planes. The voluntary program, which limits each passenger to not more than two drinks, went into effect a year ago. Thurmond said he has been getting "numerous reports the program is not work ing out."

At the outset, you are warned to hold onto your hat. This controversy has generated a searing heat, and the dead cats hurled by both sides obscure scientific horizons. For example, the president of the University of Illinois got fired he was the most notable of Krebiozen's casualties. Two of these dead cats will be buried decently now, at the beginning. Suppression Charge False One is the charge, made re peatedly from the Krebiozen side, that the medical profession, through the American Medical association has conspired, to sup press an effective weapon against cancer. Imagine yourself a doctor, deeply enmeshed in the agonies of the dying and their loved ones. Would you withhold the treatment any treatment you had even a slight reason to think might work? As one famous cancer expert told this reporter, his eyes moist with anger and his Safeway peaches are unmatched for flavor ... perfect for canning. Per Pound 15c Grown . . .

The other dead cat, which baa been tossed repeatedly from the anti-Krebiozen side, is classify ing Ivy among the "cancer quacks" who have and are be deviling hapless cancer victims with hopes which cannot pos sibly be realized. Again imagine yourself a doctor, and you'll ap preciate the grossness of the in sult. It is true that the Krebio zen side has resemblances to the usual pattern of cancer quack ery, that being a chemical com pound of unknown composition which is said to be a magic po tion and a discoverer promot er who frankly wants to make money with it. But Ivy's most uncompromising opponents con cede that no matter how mis taken he may or not be, he is a completely honest physician, scientist, and man. And Ivy vouches for the integrity of Kre biozen's discoverer promoter. Tomorrow: Andrew Conway Ivy, a two-way doctor. ELBERTA FREESTONE 21 to !b.
