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

Pennsylvania Man Gives Music Lessons To Kids in Truck
Chicago V 'Music lessons
in a truck is the solution to ever
increasing crowded music facili

Anthony Cotroneo, music super
viser of the Laura Lemar Joint
Schools of Homer City, Pa.
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

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

competive pharmaceutical in

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."
