(International) Possible Explanation For Failure of Cancer By DELOS SMITH United Presi Science Editor New York (IP) Patient research has proved out a possible explanation of why certain drugs "cure cer tain experi mental can cer! in labora tory animals but fall far short of be ing "cures" of naturally oc curring can cers in human beings. Deloi Smith Drs. Daniel M. Shapiro and Ruth A. Fugmann of the Col lege of Physicians and Sur geons, Columbia University, began their experiments with the idea that "tumor mass" was somehow connected with the reason why the drugs brought about no "cures" in people. The drugs have been stud led in people who had "large, extensive tumor masses," often with spread of cancer cells away from the original site. But the laboratory "cures" were in animals which had small tumor masses which had been recently im planted in them for experi mental purposes. True for Mice In a series of tedious experi ments,' the scientists showed that their idea was true for one type of laboratory cancer Social Dimension Seen Coming Into Business Leadership By ELMER C.

Noting that managerial skills that sufficed for an earlier day will not suffice today, the head of the nation's largest electrical equipment company' says: "Today a manager must anticipate the future and plan ahead, preferably 10 to 20 years ahead, if his business is to thrive in a changing world." He laid down a series of management and public rela tions policies to" win support of the public and head off political and union attack. ' He listed the requirements for customers,' shareowners, employees, suppliers, distrib utors and dealers, citizens. The Needs In each of these he stressed the need of courtesy, fair and honest company dealings, dig nity, friendly associations, hu man considerations, and com pany recognition that what HAiE3WD(tDiD Dry for Fireplace Medford Fuel Co.

Whether it is also true of human solid tumors and other anti-cancer drugs, only the future will tell. However, there is one ob vious immediate use of their knowledge in people. They suggested it themselves. This is to follow up surgery for the removal of tumor masses, with "courses" of anti-cancer drugs. "This not only offers hope for cure of the microscopic metastases spreads and in advertent tumor 'seeding' in surgical wounds in the so called operable and potential ly curable group of cancer pa tients, but also offers new hope for those cancer patients hitherto categorized as incur able," the scientists reported to the National Assn. for Can cer Research. Cured 57 Per Cent s In mice they showed that 6-mercaptopurine "cured" 57 per cent if it was injected in a course starting 24 hours after tiny pieces of the ex perimental laboratory cancer had been transplanted into them. But if the cancer piece was allowed to grow for eight days before the drug was used, the "cure" rate dropped to 26 per cent. When it was allowed to grow for 15 days (by which time it was a very large tumor mass) there were no "cures" whatever. other people think is import ant. To meet these expectations, Cordiner said, business will have to become more sensi tive to social and political cur rents, anticipate changes in social trends, maintain un challengable integrity, learn to communicate its convic tions and aspirations, and learn how to be politically ef fective. "American business," Cord iner said, "is challenged to move ahead so fast that the Communists will never catch up." Hev finds many citizens questioning whether the Unit ed States will have to be "just more like Russia, just a little more regimented and central ized to survive as a nation in the nuclear age," and adds: "The challenge to leader ship in America is to prove once again that the free soci ety is,' practically and philo sophically, the best kind of so ciety; that it has vitalities which are superior to the challenges of any totalitarian system, whether the challenge be military, economic, polit ical, intellectual, or spiritual." In the same issue. McGraw Hill's economist Dexter M. Keezer, writes on ','Can We Control Despair?" He holds that if we were to embark on an austerity program, we "would justify Russia's mal ignantest predictions." Far from, being in need of an austerity program, he says, we are in a position where to realize a healthy growth potential, our econo my must increase its output of civilian goods and services at a faster rate than it has in the last couple of years." Wednesday. January 15, 1938 Given 'Cures1 The scientists then experi mented in mice in whom tumor transplants had been growing for 15 days. These tumor masses were reduced surgically to less than the size of tumors which had been growing eight days. The mice then were given the drug "course" and the "cure" rate was 57 per cent. In these mice with 15-day old tumors they also demon strated that neither sureerv alone nor the drug alone coum produce a "cure." In cidentally, they used the word, "cure," to mean the complete disappearance of the tumor. "The Astrid 1 5-Diamond BRIDAL RING 150 15 sparkling diamonds mounted in beautifully carved 14 karat gold.
