SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuesday. July IB. 1957
Bloodhounds Used in
Search for Little Boy
Bridgeport, Calif. W
Searchers using bloodhounds
hoped today to pick up the trail
of little David Scott, who has
been lost in the rugged Mono
Lake county since Saturday.
Mono County Sheriff Cecil
Thorington said the hounds,
owned by Russell Cone of Los
Gatos, Calif., found the 3-year-old
boy's trail just before the
230 volunteer searchers were
forced to Rive up last night.
The sheriff said he now dis
counted the possibility of kid
naping since the boy's trail has
been found.
David wandered off from the
campsite of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Scott of San Diego,
early Saturday. The search has
centered in the mountainous
area around Mono lake. More
than 250 persons, 100 of them
marines, took part.

PILGRIM'S HOUSE
Plymouth. Mass. W In 1627,
just seven years after the Pil
grims landed here, one of their
number, Edward Doty, built a
Uhome on Leyden street. The
house still stands.

New York W If there
hadn't been an Andrew Conway
Iw there would have been no
Krebiozen controversy. Only an
"J Ivy could have
in d i ii ui i lieu
himself against
the scientific
community for
almost s ix
years and
only an Ivy
would have in
vestigated the
stuff in the
Deioi Smim first place.
He is a two-way doctor, a
Ph.D. as well as an M.D. In his
youth he enjoyed nothing more
than putting on boxing gloves.
In 1949 when Krebiozen first
came to his attention, he was
vice-president of the University
of 1 1 1 i n o i s in administrative
charge of the Medical. Dental,
and Pharmacological Colleges,
and he was head of the Depart
ment of Clinical Science and
professor of physiology.
Nor was that the full measure
of his eminence. He was univer
sally recognized as a cancer ex
pert, a director of the American
Cancer Society, an influential
figure in the councils of the
American Medical Association
which had honored him with
medals and scientific appoint
ments, chairman or member of
many scientific committees, fre
quent advisor of the federal and
state governments on scientific
matters, recipient of six honor
ary doctorates and many other
recognitions.
Top of Heap
As he sat in his Chicago of
fice on a summer day in 1949,
he was most definitely at the
top of the heap. His secretary
said a man wanted to see him.
and he said, let the man come
in. Being Ivy, his door is always
open to anyone at any time. For
years he had thought that the
day might come when someone
would walk through that open
door with the answer to cancer.
The man spoke no English
and was accompanied by a
French-speaking American bus
inessman. Through this interpre
ter, he said his name was Steven
Durovic and he was a Yugoslav
emigre living in Buenos Aires
and engaged there la a pharma
ceutical business with ni broth
er, Marko. He was a doctor of
medicine, D u r o vie continued,
having gotten his degree from
the University of Belgrade
where he had been a professor
of medicine until forced into ex
ile by the post-war revolution
which overthrew his monarchy.
His only credentials were his
own say-so. He was a scientific
unknown he had never con
tributed a word to "the litera
ture." But he made sense at
once to Dr. Ivy. He said he had
obtained from the blood of hor
ses, a substance -which he be
lieved horse body chemistry had
produced for the purpose of pro
tecting horses from the over
growth of new body tissues, Un
controlled growth is the essential
mechanism of cancer.
Agrees To Test
What .Durovic wanted to
know, would this substance pro
tect other animals, particularly
man, and would Ivy test it and
find out? Ivy said he would. Be
ing Ivy, he had tested anything
which made even a little sense
theoretically; indeed, his major
scientific reputation was for be
ing an utterly tireless investigator.
Naturally, he asked Durovic
for the details. Durovic said he
would not disclose the precise
methods he had used in obtain
ing the material; nor would he
provide the pure substance for
chemical analysis. He was the
discoverer and he expected to
profit from it, he said, and he
was afraid other pharmaceutical
interests would pirate it. He ad
ded that he had already put well
over $1 million into his experi
ments his family's money and
the money of investors.
To any other scientific inves
tigator, Durovic's secrecy would
have closed the door. The secret
remedy, the unknown chemical
compound, the magic potion ar
oused blinding suspicion in prac
tically all scientific minds, and
you can see why because the
secret remedy is the essence of
medical quackery. Scientific eth
ics enjoin very strictly against
secrecy. But Ivy had always
been unorthodox.
Entitled To Profit
Being Ivy, the mere possibili
ty of Durovic's material being
"biologically active" against can
cer in man was the paramount
consideration. Believing in "the
American system of free enter
prise," he believed the discov-
it.

A GOOD BREAK
Middletown, Conn. Wl The
breaking of a mirror in the home
of Miss Belle R. Margolis of
Longmeadow, . Mass., proved
lucky for Wesleyan university.
Beneath the glass was a rare
print of the university of the
1908 period.
erer of such a substance was , happened you couldn't believe
entitled to profit from his dis
covery, he explained to this re
porter, adding that, anyway, he
was concerned with the scientif
ic aspects, not the commercial
ones.
So Durovic supplied the ma
terial, which he had named Kre
biozen. It was dissolved in vege
table oil in ampules. Ivy had
only Durovic's word that it was
a white powder even to this
day he has never seen the sub
stance in its pure form. Nor has
anyone else, aside from Durovic
and his brother. That is the basis
for opposition charges that per
haps it doesn't exist.
Ivy injected ampule contents
first in animals, then into him
self. In that way, he found out
it was, at least, harmless. His
animal experiments, so dearly
prized by orthodox scientists,
were sketchy but indicated the
material was active. He proceed
ed to two human beings with
far advanced and hopless
cancer. Their tumors shrank.
Thus Ivy began an investigation
which continues to this day.
However, all incredible hell
soon broke loose. If it hadn't
Suspect Questioned
In Portland Holdups
Portland HP Authorities to
day questioned a suspect in the
recent "lover's lane" holdups of
two couples on Northwest Sky
line boulevard here.
The suspect was identified as
Albert McBee, 25, an airman
stationed at the Portland air
force base. He was arrested
Monday by deputy sheriffs.
In the most recent holdup, a
woman said a bandit forced her
to kiss him before taking $4
and a wrist watch from her companion.
