Ney York W What hap
pened in the Drake Hotel in Chi
cago r March 26, 1951, is utter
ly nelievable yet it happene-
r .... .m From that
day until this
one, life has
been anything
but the same
for the man
of science, An
drew C. Ivy,
and for the
whole of org
anized cancer
research.
B that day at the Drake, Dr.
held a private meeting to
which he invited scientifc col
leagues, some wealthy laymen
who were benefactors of science,
and office-holding politicians.
The 65-year-old scientist wanted
to tell them privately about
what he felt he had found out
concerning Krebiozen's biolog
ical activity against cancer in
men.
The colleagues he wished to
Interest in joing the research.
The rich laymen were to see a
promising scientific outlet for
benefactors. The politicans were
to be impressed with the import
ant role the Durovic brothers
were playing in cancer research,
for they were in the country on
visitor visas which were soon
to expire. I
If this meeting had been really
private, there probably would
have been no Krebiozen contro
versy, in Ivy's opinion.
Another Meeting Held
In the same hotel at the same
time, there was another meeting
"a Qpress conference" called
by the business man who had
been Dr. Durovic's interpreter
and guide in this country, and
a partner. Their interest was
legitimate if commerical. They
thought Durovic had "a miracle
drug" and were pressuring the
Durovics for the commercial
rights.
Somewhere Ivy's meeting and
this other meeting got merged.
All was confusion which resolv
ed into fiasco. The net result
was that news went out from
Chicago that day that the famous
Dr. Ivy had found a cure for
cancer. That word, "cure," in
relation to cancer, does to any
one who ki9ws anything about
cancer, what a red flag does to
a bull.
You may well be killing a
man if you tell him there is an
easy "cure" for his cancer and
divert him from the tried treat
ments which might save him.
Morally and ethically, whether
from the medical viewpoint or
any other, it is outrageous. Ivy
agrees whole-heartedly with this.
and he has proven conclusively
that he was in no way the author
of the "cure" report.
But the storm was unleashed
Cancer patients and their rela
tives and doctors were roused
to veritable frenzy they
thought the "cure" news was
backed by the eminent Dr. Ivy
There is question that the med
ical and scientific atmosphere
had been made hostile because
there was not the slightest evid
ence that Krebiozen was a
"cure" the evidence was that
it seemed to be "biologically ac
tive.
Take-Off Point
Ivy hadn't yet published any
thing. "I wasn't ready for publi
cation," he said. He was investi
gating from a theoretic take-off
point which his opponents
agree, is sound. That take-off
point is that the body seems to
have chemical defenses against
cancer whatever they are. How
else can you explain such well-
documented phenomona as far
advanced malignancies disap
pearing on their own without
any treatment?
That happens in one in every
50,000 to 100,000 cases, and so
is quite rare. But less rarely.
cancers will grow for a while
and then stand still for periods
ranging from months to many
years. Ivy had always maintain
ed that the answer to cancer, if
it were ever found, would be
found in the natural chemical de
fenses when they were discover
ed and understood.
Believing that, Durovic's thes
is had made sense. Durvoic said
he had "stimulated" the anti
tumor chemistry of the horse by
injecting a microorganism which
causes tumor-like growths in
cattle. Durovic had isolated from
the blood of 2,000 horses so
"stimulated"," a white powder
which he wanted to find out
was the specific anti - tumor
chemical compound, the chem
istry of the horse had produced
for protective purposes.
Fortune From Publicity
But the facts which stood out
after the "cure" publicity, was
that Ivy's investigative methods
had been unorthodox '(as they
had been frequently in the past),
and two persons the Durovics
owned both the only existing
supply of the substance and the
secret of how to make it and
so stood to make a fortune from
the publicity.
The council of pharmacy and
chemistry of the American Medi
cal Association moved in to an
swer the prime questions: Was
Krebiozen active against cancer?
Dr. Paul L. Wermer, then sec
retary of the council's commit
tee on research, assembled the
records of 100 cancer patients
who had received Krebiozen
from seven cancer specialists.
These specialists reported that
in 98 of the 100 Krebiozen had
shown no effect whatever. The
report was published in the
AMA Journal, in September,
1951. Carefully and scientifically
detailed, it is an impressive docu
ment and most cancer specialists
that Krebiozen is worthless. But
rather than ending the controv
ersy, it really began it. What
had happened was nothing to
what was going to happen.
Tomorrow: The AMA report
didn't shake Dr. Ivy.
Is That So?

Every outdoorsman should
know how to prepare food over
a campfire. Nothing fancy, but
the main staples mainly meat
and vegetables. Having done my
share of this, and having watch
ed experts, here are some camp
side tips that will come in han
dy. Good for the kitchen, too.
When you buy sliced bacon,
cut the package in half. Half
slices fry with less curling. Or
dust the bacon slightly with
flour before you put it into the
frying pan.
When you take sliced bacon
from the cooler and it sticks to
gether, roll the whole package
crosswise. When you unroll it,
the slices will separate without
breaking.
For variety, the next time
you're doing a thick steak or a
roast beef, spread a -thin coating
of mustard over the top to add
zest to the flavor.
To roast wieners at a picnic
over an open fire, place them in
a wire.popcorn popper and shake
them until they are brown.
Leave your boiled ham in the
water it was boiled in until it is
cold makes it juicy and tender.
If you buy a canned ham, take
it over to the meat department
and have the butcher open the
can and slice the ham by ma
chine. Tie it back together with
a string; cover it with pineapple,
then bake it. Avoids the messy
job of slicing and the flavor will
be improved because the juice

"Where You Are
Paid to Save"
from the pineapple has permeat
ed the slices.
To keep hamburgers from
sticking to the pan when you
fry them, sprinkle the pan first
with salt.
Opposite is True
The practice of searing meat
before roasting is based on the
belief that searing prevents the
escape of meat juices and thus
cuts down on shrinkage. Not so,
says Jane Stewart who has writ
ten that fine book Encyclopedia
of Household Hints (Gilbert
Press, N.Y.). Actually the oppo
site is true. Meat that is seared
at the beginning of the roasting
period actually shrinks consid
erably more than meat that is
not seared, due to the loss of
fat.
For indoor cooking, Jane ad
vises: "Start the meat in a cold
oven and roast it at a moderate
temperature (300 to 350 de
grees). Basting is unnecessary. A
roast should be placed in a pan
fat side up; then the fat will
melt into the meat and do your
basting."
To tenderize a tough steak,
rub it on both sides with a mix
ture of vinegar and olive oil and
let it stand for two hours. This
will not affect the flavor. Al
ways use tongs instead of a fork
to turn a steak. Piercing the
meat lets the nutritive blood es
cape. When you prepare tough cuts
of meat or fowl for a stew, add
a teaspoonful of sugar to the
stew pot and you will find that
the meat gets tender much more
quickly.
Extremely Perishable
For the deer hunter, remem
ber that the liver, kidneys and
sweetbreads are extremely per
ishable use them the first day
if possible.
When cooking livers, use a
sharp - tined fork and pierce
them. This will keep the liver
from popping and splattering.
If you like sweet pickles, you
can save money by buying sour
ones. Drain the juice from the
quart bottle, quarter them and
replace them in the jar with two
cups of sugar and two table
spoons of salad oil. Screw the
cap on tightly and turn them
upside down every day for four
or five days. You'll find them
crisp and good tasting.
To keep meat in hot weather,
wet a clean cloth with vinegar,
wrap it around the meat, and
put it on the ice.
Above all, don't use deter
gents to wash j'our cast-iron
skillets. Detergents with their
grease-dissolving qualities ruin
the finish of a carefully seasoned
pan. Then the food sticks. In
stead, rinse it out with hot wa
ter and wipe it with a sponge.

June Sales of Bonds
Show Decline Here
June sales of United States
Series E and H savings bonds in
Jackson county dropped S36.881
in June compared to previous
June receipts, according to State
Director George W. Mimnaugh.
A total of 581,475 was received
this June compared to $118,356
the previous June.
Sales in Jackson county
through June 30 of this year
dropped $147,149 to $493,020
compared to $640,169 for the
same period a year ago.
As of June, 40.9 per cent of the
county quota has been reached,
Mimnaugh said.
BLM Stockpile
Rock (or Roads
P o r 1 1 a n d Bureau of land
management will stockpile hard
rock surfacing material to be
used by timber operators in
building access roads ""required
by timber contracts with the
federal agency which adminis
ters the O and C lands of west
ern Oregon.
Oregon State Supervisor Vir
gil T. Heath announced today
that the bureau has concurred in
awarding contracts totalling
$66,280 for production of
crushed rock for use on access
roads in O and C forest areas.
The contracts were awarded by
the bureau of public roads.
Heath said this was the first time
that the bureau has stockpiled
surfacing rock for its timber sale
roads.
'There are some areas of the
O & C where hard rock is un
obtainable without a long truck
haul," Heath said. "These hauls
may run as high as 30 miles and
this makes it uneconomical for
the small timber operator to bid
on timber where he is required
by the terms of sale to build an
access road. We hope to give the
small operator more opportunity
to bid on these tracts by reduc
ing the amount he has to invest."
The contracts awarded by
BPR went to F. H. McEwen,
Eugene, for S21,620, to produce
rock for timber roads in the Es
mond creek area and to Umpqua
Navigation company, Reedsport,
for $40,660 to stockpile rock in
the Smith river drainage.
Heath said the bureau also has
concurred in the awarding of a
$28,160 contract to Morse Broth
ers, Harrisburg, for oiling 11.4
miles of the Smith river road
from Spencer creek to the mouth
of the West Fork. This is the
highest class logging road in the
Coos Bay forest district and gets
considerable public use, Heath
said.
