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

FBI Advised
Knight's editorial said:
"When first given the in
formation, we were incredu
lous. We could scarcely be

Knight said the FBI and
police were advised of the
Journal's information and the
investigation is continuing.
He said the Journal puzzles

as this week's contest expires

taken to "assure the fairness

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-

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.

The original idea here was that this couple was supposed to be grinning from ear to ear as he exclaimed,
BLITZ COUNTRY!" the way you'd say "Here's how!",Mrown the hatchr,or "SkoalP
As it turned out he never got to say anything. ''.'"
For at the crucial moment she obeyed a sudden impulse. She blew. Maybe it satisfied a life-long craving.
We're glad we're not in the custard pie business, that's all. Things could be worse.
Anyway, it proves that Blitz, besides being the Bejer of the Bright Cascades and a delight to drink, also has a
good head on it. If you are going to blow the foam off any beer we recommend Blitz.
Laboratory tests prove, you might say. Blitz Country! .. ;
