6 o s Natural Defenses Againc? Cancer Said To Possibly Exist New Yck (UPI) There is reason to believe that na tural defenses against cancer . exist, according to a report .'released today by the Sloan- Kettering Institute lor Can eer Research. . The report is a review of . recent scientific findings and continuing investigations into the nature of these natural ; defenses and the way they ; work. "From this work there seems hope admittedly still remote of cancer prevention, of simple accurate diagnostic - tests, of combinations of im- munization with chemother- ; epy, surgery and radiation," the report said. ' I The report cited as one of the most important findings . tht discovery in cancer cells ' of cytolipin H, an unusual chemical which may make ! possible the development of a diagnostic test for cancer. ; May Lead To Test Researchers are trying to find out if early human can ;cer regularly produces cyto " lipin H and releases it into the I bloodstream. .

WeJrisday July II, 1951 group of researchers showed that natural defenses against cancer can be stimulated arti ficially. They did this by in jecting into mice cancer-implanted material called zymo san, which gradually dis solved the cancers and caused them to disappear. It was believed zymosan did not itself inhibit the can cer directly, but it apparent ly helped the mice to defend themselves against growths. SIoan-Kettering researchers also have developed a vaccine that prevented one-type of ex perimental cancer in mice. It protected 80 to 90 per cent of the mice treated against a form of leukemia caused by a virus, the report said.

Stricter Enforcement Of Water Rules Sought The Medford Safety council has called for stricter enforce ment of the rules and regula tions governing boating and swimming in an effort to re duce the toll of accidents and fatalities. Berry Bigham, president of the Safety council said efforts would be made to cooperate with service clubs and others in an attempt to give wider publicity to present regula tions.

Slick Pavement Blamed for Crash A wet, slick pavement was blamed for a collision of a state police patrol car and an other car yesterday on South Pacific highway. A patrol car driven by State Policeman Richard Henry Fin nell, 917Vi Dakota St., Med ford, was involved in an acci dent with a car driven by Ersel Winifred Stevens, 5025 South Pacific highway, ' in front of that address. Both cars were southbound at the time. The Stevens car had stopped to make a left turn into a private driveway. The officer approached a line of cars stopped behind the Stevens car and applied his brakes. He skidded on the slick pavement, then swung to the left to avoid hitting the stopped cars. The patrol car and the Stevens car hit broadside scraping the patrol car on the right side. No in juries were reported.

RUSH HOUR Chester, Conn. (UPI) So many youngsters signed up as extras for a movie being made here that the local sup ply of Social Security appli cations was exhausted. tion and spot enforcement was recommended by the group at the July meeting of the mem bership. Enforcement agencies will be asked to step in where nec essary, to curb recklessness on the water, Bigham said. Such enforcement would not be nec essary if those who use water ways would familiarize them selves with the basic rules of water craft safety, he added. Principle cause of com plaints received were due to improper handling of speed ing boats in the vicinity of swimmers and failure to pro vide an observer, in addition to the driver, when towing water skiers.

SP 3-5388 Seven American Captives Released By Cuban Rebels Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (UPI) Seven of 29 American sailors and Marines kidnaped by Cuban rebels June 28 were freed Tuesday night. Another small group was expected out today. The first servicemen re leased were two Marines and five sailors.

Colorado Water Suit in Recess Until August 11 San Francisco (UPI) Tha Colorado river water suit was in recess today until Aug. 11 after completion of nearly all of Arizona's rebuttal case. Only a single deposition re mained to be entered on the Arizona side. It will be taken in Silver City, N.M., before the trial resumes with presen tation of rebuttal cases by California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and the federal gov ernment. The trial has now complet ed 123 days. More than 5, 500,000 words and 4000 exhib its are in the record. ' At issue is Arizona's claim to 4,400,000 annual acre feet of Colorado river water. Cali fornia claims 5,362,000 acre feet. There are 7,500,000 acre feet available for division -not enough to satisfy the claims of the two principals as well as other states entitled to a share of the water. Corcerns Tax Rolls The deposition remaing to be taken concerns tax rolls which Arizona says contradict New Mexico's claims to the amount of Irrigated land in the western part of that state. Paul L. Billhymer, assistant attorney general for New Mex ico, objected Tuesday to the deposition. He said it would not accurately show the amount of land under irriga tion, i While tax assessors are le gally required to inspect and classify land, Billhymer said "this viewing of land is ab solutely a joke. They don't do it." In the past 11 trial days, Arizona presented a parade of witnesses to accuse Calif ornia's Imperial Irrigation dis trict of wasting 1,500,000 acre feet of water a year. May Amend Complaint Northcutt Ely, chief Calif ornia counsel, told newsmen Arizona expected of the dis trict a "totally impractical" efficiency. He said if the same efficiencies were inforced in Central Arizona, that state could reduce its claims by 1, 500,000 acre feet. Before the trial resumes, Arizona is expected to amend its original complaint to sub stitute new and different argu ments to back its claim to waters of the Gila River Sys tem.
