ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington There is an ironic twist to the brush with cancer which Sen. Richard L. Neu b e rg e r has just ex perienced. A few weeks ago, before he i u c n an j- thing of the malignant tu mor th a t a surgeon w a s soon to re- a. Boot SmiU move from his body, Neuberger arose on the Senate" floor and offered this commentary on his own val ues of legislative endeavor: "When people ask me for my opinion of the outstanding legislative feats with which I have been associated, they ex pect the answer to describe spectacular bills such as statehood for Alaska, the im mense John Day dam or re peal of the federal transpor tation tax. "Instead, I reply: 'The vast increase in appropriations for the National Cancer Insti tute.' "Some of my friends find this answer difficult to fath om. Yet to me the justifica tion for my answer is found in a grim and sinister table. It is a table which shows the deaths in the United States from cancer for each year since 1950: "1950 - 211,000; 1951 -216,000; 1952 - 223,000; 1953 - 229,000; 1954 - 235,000; 1955 - 242,000; 1956 - 245, 000; 1957 - 250,000. Allotment Increased "When I first came to the Senate in 1955, funds for the National Cancer Institute to taled some $21 million an nually. The latest sums allo cated by the Senate for this vital and urgent purpose have amounted to some $81 million. I know of no increase so thoroughly justified - or so much in need of still further expansion. "For example, the National Health Education Committee has reported that research in this field already , has pro duced 16 chemical compounds which cause temporary clini cal improvement in patients with various types of the dis ease. If we are thus lurking on the frontier of a major breakthrough, can we risk delay or failure merely be cause of a lack of funds? "The question answers it self when we consider the quarter - of-a-mililon Ameri cans doomed to die this year and the next from cancer -and on into the distant future, unless some effective cure can be discovered for this insidi- our plague of human cells running wild . . . Funds for Research "A major share of the Senate-approved funds would go to finance additional research in this highly specialized field of cancer research. Programs for cancer chemotherapy also will be greatly expanded next year. "Since the speedup of gov ernment funds for cancer re search in three short years, many advances have been scored. It is now possible through the use of preventive medicine to prevent a few cancers of the type related to occupation. "It is now possible to detect a few cancers quite early when cure by surgery is effec tive and relatively simple. Chemical cure of at least, one type of uterine cancer also has been added to the gains. The added funds have brought many other real results . . . "A good deal of preaching is heard about economy in government. Here is one sphere of governmental effort for which error on the side of liberality finds justifica tion. These funds affect all mankind. "Think of the psychological impact on the world if Am erican scientists were the first to smash the heart chilling threat of cancer. The Soviets' success with sputniks would seem less convincing if peo ples, around the globe realiz ed that the dollars of Uncle Sam made possible the con quest of one of man's most haunting fears." One of Many This commentary was only one of many Neuberger has made in the four years he has held office about the desira bility of stepping up research for a cure for cancer. In the last year or more especially he has intensified his person al campaign, through maga zine articles, speeches and other public statements, in behalf of cancer research. i The Oregon senator hasn't laid claim to the credit for success in increasing federal funds for this work. He says credit goes to Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.)-"the senator who has done more for health and medical research than any other political figure of our time"-who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee. In mid - August Neuberger pointed out that recent visi tors to the Senate had in cluded 40 delegates to the Cured Cancer Congress which met in Washington, D. C. He pointed out that as its final act the Cancer Congress ad opted a resolution urging the 800,000 Americans who have been saved from cancer to "mobilize in support of the 1958 Cancer Crusade; speak out about their personal vic tories; bring to the frighten ed the message of hope that early cancer can often be cured; urge all men and women to have an annual checkup; help raise the mil lions more needed for re search, for service to help carry the burdens of patients and families, for spreading more life-saving facts through education." Article Written Earlier this year, Neuberg er wrote an article for The Progressive magazine called "The Greatest Killer of Kids." It was about his visit to Chil dren's Hospital in Boston, where more youngsters are under treatment for cancer than anywhere else in the world. Neuberger said he there learned that while 579 Ameri can children died of polio in the last year before develop ment of the Salk vaccine, more than six times this num ber of children died of can cer: 3,761. "I always had thought of cancer as a disease of the elderly. This did not make its ravages any less frightful, but at least its victims so I thought had experienced a fair share of life's bounty and enjoyments ... I was shocRed to learn that more children die of cancer than of any oth er single cause except acci dents," the senator wrote. Deaths Observed Neuberger had to look no further than the assembly in which he sits to observe the deaths of Sens. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R-Mich.), Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), Brien Mc Mahon (D-Conn.), Kenneth Wherry (R-Neb.) and Mat thew Neely (D-W. Va.), "all valued legislators who are here no more because of the deadly ravages of cancer." In mid-July, Neuberger had published in the Congression al Record a report of the Na tional Health Education Com mittee on progress in cancer research. The report gave val uable information of new findings, but also contained what Neuberger pointed out to the Senate was "this sinis ter warning: Unless new treatment and cures are dis covered 26 million Ameri cans now living will die of cancer. One out of every four of us will have some form of the disease during our life time." At 45 years of age, ' Sen. Neuberger had no clue then that he would be the "one out of four." Pressure Against Old Age Medicine Said Undesirable By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-(UPD-A professor of medicine urges all-out re sistance by medical science to public pres sure for a spe cial compart ment" of old age medicine. This pres sure is "a very undesir able if not a dangerous trend," said Deios smith Dr. Austin B. Chinn of Western Reserve university, Ohio, at a recent meeting of the Interstate Post graduate Medical association. If unchecked it will lead to "the separation of medical care of the elderly patient into a separate compartment of medicine, and, in turn, spe cialization. Vitally Necessary Care "I believe that of all the many aspects of health care which should be managed by the family's general physi cian, none is more vitally nec essary than the car of the older person." Chinn touched on a sore point inside medical science and also the general public. It is a simple fact that the pro portion of elderly people fc the total population is increas ing steadily. This has led to a mush rooming of problems and many of them are not strictly medical. Yet the infant medi cal speciality of old-age medi cine - "geriatrics'' is strug gling to establish itself firmly. Needless to say, other re spected medical authority be lieves there is a place for such a specialty. Chinn took issue by denying that the "so-called geriatrician" has as much rea son for being as the pedia trician. Diseases Peculiar lo Children "In the case of infants and children there are many tech- Fairview Home Probe To Be Asked Hillsboro -(UPD- Washington county District Attorney Fran cis Linklater said he will ask the Marion corJhity grand jury for an investigation of the Fairview home for the men tally" deficient as a result of a $50,000 church fire set here by an escapee from the home. Linklater said he would dis patch a letter today to the grand jury through the Ma rion county district attorney's office. He indicated needs for a study of two points: Tighten ing of security standards of the home, or, could another institution be established to care for persons with criminal tendencies?

S Bull AC II Sf tmty To U If arnica! - niques and a few diseases which are peculiar to chil dren and which may require specialized knowledge and training," he said. "On the other hand, there are no known techniques or diseases which are peculiar to old people. "If the word geriatrics is necessary in our language, let us speak of geriatric medicine but do not let us be led into the notion that study of ill nesses in the elderly person should in any way be separ ated from the great common body of knowledge of general medicine of which it is so im portant a part." MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, September 8, 19S8 7 Robert Sprcul Trial For Murder Starts Canyon City (UPD Grant county rancher Robert Sproul, 43, went on trail today for the gunshot slaying of his brother-in-law, Harlin Link Williams, June 21. Williams was shot in a gun duel following a dispute over a road which crossed their ad- joiqing properties. Grant County District At torney Michael Morgan said the selection of a jury might take some time since both men were extremely well known." Circuit Court Judge E. H. Howell will preside over the case. Morgan said it will be the first murder trial in this small eastern Oregon commu nity in five years. Defense attorneys are Orval Yokum and J. R. Campbell of John Day and Bruce Spauld ing of Portland. TIRED OF CANNED FOOD Knoxville, .Tenn. - (UPD Nagging and abandonment are the official grounds on which Arthur Lemons, 72, is seeking a divorce from his 68-year-old bride of three and a half months. But Lemons confided to a Chancery Court judge the real reason he filed the action was because his wife refused to cook corn bread or biscuits and served only canned food. SPECIAL!
