Just how Ara bian is the Arabian horse? To begin with, very few Arabs have horses. Most of them prefer camels instead. In Addition, historically speaking horses were virtual ly unknown in Arabia up to about 1,500 years ago. Camels were used exclusively. Where the Arabs got their first horses from is not defi nitely known, but the evi dence suggests that it was Asia via Persia. And the four major breeds of Arabian horses all are claimed to de scend from one famous mare with the difficult name of Keheilet Ajuz. The question interested me as a result of a heated argu ment between Jordanian gen tlemen, one arguing the su periority of the horse, the other that of the camel. A n especially interesting point brought up was why the Arabian horse was not intro duced into Europe until in the 1600s. Why hadn't it been in troduced four centuries earli er during the Crusades when much of Palestine and Syria was held by Europeans for nearly a century? The answer was that the Europeans then didn't consid er the Arabian horse good enough to bother with.

The Europeans, wearing heavy armor them selves ' and having their horses heavily armored as well, needed to have steeds as big as they could get. As a result they didn't bother with Arabian horses and concen trated instead on getting the biggest types, such as the Percherons which were used as drey horses up to the ad vent of the truck. As for the use that Arabs have for horses, it has been confined ' almost exclusively to war. They had a value there only in the surprise at tack. Even then the value was questionable since in making an attack on the enemy, un less he was close to home, it was necessary to lead the horses across the desserts to the place from which the final attack was launched. In other words, the Arabs didn't ride their horses to the battleground. They rode cam els instead in order to save the horse for the attack. That, however, was a re finement of fashion more than anything else, and is an ex cellent illustration of style affects warfare as well as dress. The truth is that some of the better breeds of racing camels raised in Arabia can give a quite satisfactory per formance in competition with the horse. An when anything beyond a short burst of speed is called for, the horse doesn't stay in the picture at all. It is the camel and nothing else.

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES Sylvester, Ga. (UPD Res taurant owner Mrs. R. L. Can- trell has a cool reply for cus tomers who gripe about the heat. She just shows them a pan of snow that fell last win ter, preserved in her freezer. By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York (UPD In the view of Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, professor of physiology at the University of Illinois, scien tists at the Sloan - Ket tering I n s t i tute for Can cer Research are proving he is right about the con troversial can- Delos Smith c e r drug, "krebiozen," which has been rejected both by organized cancer research and by or ganized medicine. Ivy has just advanced his views in a letter to Dr. Har old S. Diehl, vice president for research and medical affairs of the American Cancer So ciety. The society's scientific committee has been consid ering since February whether to give "krebiozen" a "dou ble blind test" , that would es tablish once and for all whether it is effective against cancer or worthless. Have Natural Defenses Ivy quoted from a recently published Sloan-Kettering re search report which not only said "there is reason to be lieve" animal bodies have na tural chemical defenses against cancer, but their sci entists by "manipulating and enhancing these defenses" in laboratory animals, had cured the animals of some types of experimental cancers. Since 1925, Ivy said, he has beenteaching that the human body has natural chemical de fenses because "perhaps in one out of 100,000 cases the body of the patient cures its ills." Two Drown in Deep Columbia River Hole Portland (UPD A boy fell into a deep hole in the Co lumbia river near here Thurs day evening and a man tried to save him. Both drowned.

S s S " x s s vv rf He pointed to the Sloan- Kettering announcement that zymosan, a substance taken from yeast, stimulated the na tural chemical cancer defenses of mice, "tipping the scales in favor of the endangered host and against the cancer." Sloan - Kettering added that zymosan was too toxic to use in human beings with cancer. Also Too Toxic Ivy said "krebiozen" was derived from a mold, "a rela tive of yeasts." This mold also is too toxic for human use, he said. But when it is injected into horses, it stimulates their chemistry into manufacturing the specific cancer defense chemical, which is "krebio zen," he said. : , In 1951, when the contro versy began, Ivy had said krebiozen "may prove to be a key to 'the cure" and per haps the prevention of can cer," and if it is now "my con sidered and sincere conviction that krebiozen represents the only presently available fruit of this new understanding of the problem of cancer to which the Sloan-Kettering re searchers are contributing so outstandingly."
