Dr. Ivy, With His World Threatening To Collapse, Stuck Up for Krebiozen ztlur not: FoiiQttint m tht jt "thoughtlessly," nr. Andrew C. Ivy and Krebiozen as m curt lor cancer. Deloe Smllh thu reporter: By DELOS SMITH United Pratt Science Editor Copyright 1957 By Unilad Pratt New York W The AMA'S anti Krebiozen report would have shaken a man of less faith "1 than Andrew C o n w ay Ivy has in God,' in himself, in the results of his own scien tific investiga tions. He re gards himself as "a dedicat ed personal ity." He told I live for one reason to help people." That has nothing to do with whether he is right or wrong about Krebiozen, but it is a measure of the man. There he was, a top man of medicine and science, with his world threat ening to collapse. His friends told him to accept and recant. Otherwise he would be destroy ed. He pulled back not one iota. And this despite the fact that Dr. Ourovic had dissolved the only exisiting supply of the white power in mineral oil and had divided the oil into 200,000 ampules. That meant it would be extremely difficult if not im possible to obtain the kind of minute chemical analysis which would reveal what Krebiozen was, chemically, and which exact science requires as a matter of course. Ivy said this was the only time he was tempted to "pull out." Durovic said he had done with the idea of preserving the powder's pot ency. Storm At TJniTarsity The Chicago Medical Society, a constitutent part of the AMA, was moving to punish him for allegedly violating a cardinal medical ethic promotion a "secret remedy." A storm 'was rising at the University of Il linois whose president. Dr. George D. Stoddard, was dis playing a lively interest in Ivy's activities. Stoddard appointed a com mittee of medical professors versed is cancer, to evaluate all Krebiozen-treated cancer cases which now numbered several hundred. It reported Krebiozen had "no curative value," . which Ivy had never claimed, but "we cannot state it is entirely devoid of biological activity." It said the prime question was "the na ture of the material" and until that question was answered, no furher attention should be given to it. Stoddard appointed another committee to undertake as thor ough a chemical analysis as was possible of a substance dis solved in one of its own solvents, which meant it was utterly dis solved. As they have consistent ly, the Durovic. insisted upon iron-bound protection of their commerical rights which this re porter does not imply is wrong there is pirating in the highly Air Conditioners To Be Made Available for Hire Chicago tip Air condition era will soon be available for hira by offices and business firms all over the nation,, the Leasing Corporation of America said.

The truck, originally bought to transport band instruments, was pressed , into service when classrooms could not be secured for practice sessions. Cotroneo teaches in his truck classroom particularly at the Lucernemines, Gracetown and Risinger elementary schools where he instructs potential fu ture band members. Senior band members also practice in an un orthodox spot a busy first floor hallway in Homer City. With music programs in many schools outgrowing facilities even faster than other depart ments, other music supervisors have solved this problem in other unusual fashions.

The Durovics judged the protection offered as insufficient and they did not supply ampules for analysis, fey Makes Appeal Stoddard's reaction was to re strict further Krebiozen research on university premises. Ivy appealed to the Illinois Legis lature, on the grounds that Stod dard struck at academic free dom. A legislative commission began an investigation of what by now was "the Krebiozen af fair" in March, 1953. The Ivy-Durovic side put into Hie commission record this charge: Dr. J. J. Moore, treasur er of the American Medical As sociation, conspired with the two business men either to get commerical control of Krebiozen or suppress it by ruining the Durovics. Moore, it was charged, had influenced Wermer into dis torting and even "faking" parts of the AMA's 100-case report. Stoddard, it was added, was drawn into the "conspiracy." As set forth in the record, this charge struck the reporter as exceedingly flimsy. But ony the commission was qualifed to jjdge and the 12 of the 14 mem bers who attended the final meeting, , unanimously cleared Drs. Moore and Wermer of the conspiracy charge, as well as the businessmen and Stoddard. The commission had high praise for the integrity and self less devotion to mankind of Ivy who, meantime, had lost his post as university vice president. Stoddard had had it abolished. As to the Durovics, the commis sion found that in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it could not conclude they were "other men of good charcater." Only Stoddard was criticized for having been "untactful." A few months later the university trustees forced him to resign. Hols in Report But all this is what Ivy calls "a side-show." On the scientific side. Ivy opened a hole in the 100-case report by showing that 24 of the 100 cases came from a young physician who said he was a "cancer expert" but had been in practice less than three years, and besides 23 of the 24 had been the cases of another physician who did not agree with his appraisal. . If those 24 are thrown out, 76 remain. They came from six physicians who are or were (one has since died) unquestionably cancer experts whose integrity is no more challengeable than Ivy's is. This reporter knows that these physicians have not chang ed their orignal views in the least. You can't blame medical doctors for not wanting to be quoted in a nasty controversy over a life-or-death matter, but Dr Alton Ochsner of New Or leans, whose forthrightness matches his standing as a can cer expert, permitted himself to be quoted. He and his associates treated 21 advanced carcinoma patients with Krebiozen. "In not a single instance csuld we note any ef fect, either subjectively or ob jectively," he said. "Because of this -and because of the exper ience of other similar investiga tions, I became convinced that Krebiozen has no effect on cancer. I feel quite sure Krebio zen Is absolutely without value and should not be used." tnaxl- Tomorrow: mum claim.
