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!

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.

of school at the Unity Head

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.

A recent birthday party was

evening the group went to the
Taylor picnic grounds on Rogue
River for a wiener roast.
Recent visitors at the Guy Nel

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

sity of Illinois. The substance is
called "Krebiozen."
His contentions are:

hundreds of cancer patients and

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.

-i-For"the sake of humanity,
Krebiozen must now be
thoroughly and scientifically
tested on a large scale so its
beneficial effects may be proven
beyond quibble or doubt.
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.

Hearings Sought on
Drinking on Planes
Washington (IP) Sen.
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

which this is the first. 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.

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
