Ivy Out of the 200,000 ampules wants a rigidly controlled containing the whole of the ex-1 "double blind" study of over 200 isting Krebiozen, 50.000 to 60,- j advanced patients, so set up that 000 ampules remain.

So how f.. , 'J wrone. One fact is that Ivv no get the S400.000 is a problem. the American I longer is recognized as a "can- i He grants Medical as- Deloi Smith) sociation had n't "prejudiced" the medical world with the 100-case report back in 1951. He means that when injected by needle into muscles of cancer patients it will sometimes help the patients and harm their can cer. The first i a "subjective" response the patients feel bet ter, their appetites improve, their pain diminishes or disap pears, they become active. The latter is an "objective" response tha malignant tumors become measurably smaller. Ivy grants that six of the even doctors who provided the 100-case reports were sincere and honorable. But he points out that at the time little was known about how much a workable dose of Krebiozen or how often the doses should be injected. Many of the 100 patients were dying and died before they could be given enough Krebio ren for an effect to show. Publicist "Miracle Cases" If you Intend forming an opin ion, you must keep firmly in nine' that individual "miracles" is cancer mean nothing. Kre biowM's lay enthusiasts have tjuleliciaee! "miracle cases" in pa tents who bad any of the proven treatments aRd in patients who had no treatment at all. It is well known that far-advanced patients respond "sub jectively" to any treatment, no matter what, while their cancers advance inexorably and kill them. Ivy accepts this. All cancer ex perts do. His contention is that "objective" improvements have occurred too frequently for them to have been due to factors other than Krebiozen. As for "subjec tive" improvements he has one series ot patients who did not know they were getting a new treatment, and another series of patients who did know. Subjec tive improvement occurred in one series as often as in the other. All but seven Krebiozen-treat-ed patients have been on the "abandoned" that is all proven treatments had failed and they were being kept "comfortable" until they died. Therefore, Ivy points out, it is not surprising that Krebiozen has produced "objective" response in a rela tively small percentages. The big point Is, he Maintains, "biolog ical activity" is shown and science must investigate that ac tivity, and understand it in order to exploit it. Krebiozen research is carried on by the Krebiozen Foundation, 105 West Adams St., in Chicago. Any physician may obtain Kre biozen provided his patient has exhausted all of the proven treatments the physician re ports the patient's physical conditio ia detail, and the phy sician reports in detail on the results ot Krebiozen treatment, If the patient is able to pay. he is asked ta pay S9.50 for each ampule. If he isn't, he is asked to pay what he can or nothing. So far, more than 200 phy sicians have obtained Krebiozen for more than 750 patients and their detailed reports are on file in the foundation office. Ivy and his associates, Drs. John F. Pick and W. P. F. Phillips, have personally treated or observed more than 100 patients. From to i. it would not be cer expert by his colleagues al-1 proper for tax money or purjuc though he was before Krebiozen j donations such as those to the came along.

But at this "reporter's solicita tion, Mefford R. Runyon, execu tive vice-president of the Ameri can Cancer Society, offered this proposal, with a view toward ending the controversy one way or the other. If the Krebiozen Foundation will ask the society for "an in dependent review" of the case histories it has on file, "the American Cancer Society will take the initiative of setting up a competent committee to make such a study." This, Runyon said, would be "a necessary prelude" to a "fair evaluation" of Krebiozen by a committee of independent scien tists, either the society's commit tee or a committee of the Nation al Cancer Institute. Runyon said the foundation had never asked the society or the institute to support financially "an inde pendent objective evaluation."

While the figure falls short of the number of accidents re ported for the same period a year ago, safety officials said it was "only tentative and may have to be revised upward if delayed reports are received. Injuries during the period totalled 6.042, also a slight de cline from the same period in 1956. Albacore Located Off Coast of California ' Astoria Ml The govern-; ment survey boat John R.
