Oregon Journal Studies Ring of Puzzle 'Tipsters' Portland, Ore. - (LTD - A na tionwide ring of puzzle solu tion "tipsters" is victimizing newspapers by supplying puz zle answers to "fixed" win ners, according to the Oregon Journal. William .W. Knight, pub lisher of the Journal, said in a front-page editorial Sunday that the Journal and the Port land Oregonian were "hit" by the ring, which was believed to operate from Detroit, Mich. Journal Investigates The two Portland newspa pers have been running a type of "crossword" puzzle and paying cash to readers who solve the puzzles. Many other newspapers in the Unit ed States also carry the puz zles. Knight said that about a week ago, the Journal learn ed of the possibility of a "fix and tipping" scheme and be gan to investigate. The newspaper learned that a Portland woman who was paid $2,600 on Feb. 13, retained only $300 of the money. The rest was paid to an intermediary, who in turn paid off $2,150 of the prize Oregon City Couple Auto Crash Victims Oregon City - (IPC- An Ore gon City cotiple was killed Saturday night in an automo bile accident near Albuquer que, N.M., relatives here have been notified.

The Journal said another Portland man, who won $2, 950, admitted he kept only S950 and sent the rest to a "tipster" in Detroit. FBI Advised Knight's editorial said: "When first given the in formation, we were incredu lous. We could scarcely be lieve such a thing possible." Knight said the FBI and police were advised of the Journal's information and the investigation is continuing. He said the Journal puzzles would be terminated as soon as this week's contest expires -and that steps were being taken to "assure the fairness of the contest for current participants." Negotiations Over Krebiozen Cure for Cancer Stalemated 3V t4 nln Smith By DELOS SMITH U?I Science Editor New York - (UPD - Negotia tions Innkin? toward a settle ment of the bitter, years-old troversy over the cancer drug, krebioz en, are stale mated. But there isno 4 disposition on j either side to . break them off, which & . w that they will eventually suc- ceea. The idea is to set up such exhaustive tests of the drug that both sides will be com pelled to accept the results, whatever they are. The ques tion at issue, of course, is whether krebiozen is an ef fective agent against cancer. The krebiozen side con tends, most emphatically, that it is - that it has, indeed, "cured", cancer in . several score cases. But the other side, which includes both or ganized medicine and organ ized cancer research feels krebiozen has been proved worthless. The head negotiators are Dr. John R. Heller, director of the National Cancer Institute, who in fact - although not of ficially represents organized cancer research, and Dr. An drew C. Ivy of the University of Illinois, who has been the drug's principal scientific pro ponent from the beginning. The negotiations began last September and became stale mated this month on the crit ical question of how krebioz en was going to be evaluated with absolute scientific im partiality. Ivy wanted this re sponsibility put upon an "arbitration-type" committee. He himself would be one mem ber, the National Cancer Insti tute Would appoint a second, and those two would select a third who would be chairman arbiter. Heller replied that such a setup was "not scientifically acceptable." His objection was to a dedicated krebiozen ad vocate like Ivy having a part in the evaluation. He asked Ivy to "clarify" his position, and there, for the time being, the negotiations rest. What Heller and his associ- MAIL TRIBUNE,. Mtdford, Oregon, Tu4av, Ftbraary 24, ltl 7 Morse, Clark Ask School Bill Haste In a radio broadcast heard this week Oregon stations, Democratic Senators Wayne ates want is an impartial com mittee of some six cancer au thorities who are acceptable to the scientific and medical communities. It hardly - is a secret that the krebiozen pro ponents feel it is impossible, after almost eight years of em bittered controversy, to find six authorities whose impar tiality is beyond any question ing. They contend specifically that the American Medical as sociation has prejudiced the medical world against krebi ozen. Nevertheless, progress has been made. Specifically, Hel ler and his associates agreed that krebiozen should be eval uated again. That is a reversal of the years-long contention of organized cancer research that krebiozen was thor o u g h 1 y evaluated - and ruled out - in 1952. All this is to bring you up to date on a controversy as bitter and long-lasting as the medical world has ever known. The negotiations stem med indirectly from a series of dispatches by this reporter which set forth the pros and cons of the controversy with an outsider's objectivity. , Morse of Oregon and Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania called for the early enactment by Congress of the Murray-Met-calf bill, carrying federal fin ancial help to the states for school construction and teach ers' salaries. Both Senators, who are co sponsors, of the Murray-Met-calf bill, and members of the Senate Labor Committee now considering school aid, con cedned as inadequate and mis directed the substitute bill of fered by the Administration. "Like so many other Ad ministrations proposals, it is more of an aid to bankers bill than an aid to education bill," said Mom. , Clark, who had examined Secretary of Health, Educa tion, and Welfare Arthur Flemming at length on .the Administration bill, called it "another fiscal fable of the Budget Bureau." In calling for action on the Murray. Metcalf proposal, Morse pointed out that there is now a shortage of 135,000 classrooms, almost the same total as last yean Oregon's share under the Murray Metcalf proposal would be $11,250,000 the first year, and reach $48,500,000 by the fourth year under pre sent population figures. - --,"1- - fto .nffr-AiMMrf' l-m ';V'-i Tl I ! 1 1 I II I I fc I .
