Vaccine Helps
Mice Recover
From Cancer
New York - (Science Serv
ice) - The vaccine that has
stimulated resistance against
tuberculosis appears to be do
ing the same job with inv
planted tumors in laboratory
mice.
This is one of the scientific
advances appearing in the
two-year report of the Sloan
Kettering Institute for Can
cer Research here. The re
port was made public by Dr.
Warren Weaver, chairman of
the board of trustees, and
Frank A. Howaru, prac.
Scientists at the institute
have found that the body's
natural defenses can be stimu
lated to recover 100 per cent
from one form of cancer, sar
coma 180, in laboratory mice
The most effective agent for
this stimulation has been
BCG, bacillus calmette guer-
in, which has been commonly
used to stimulate resistance in
children exposed to tubercu
losis.
Study of Animals
Studies of animals with
spontaneous rather than im
planted cancers are now in
progress to discover whether
or not these, too, have the
profound effect on the de
fense system and if stimula
tion of the defenses can slow
or stop their growth.
Another advance marking
two years of scientific prog
ress at the Institute involves
a study of possible hazards
from X-ray procedures. It was
found that a one-degree mis
alignment of a conventional
X-ray cone during chest X-ray
can increase threefold the
dose to the ovaries. Further-j
more, failure to adjust the
machine to a short man can
increase the dosage to the
scrotum by 60.
TJie report opened with a
memorial statement honoring
the late Dr. C. P. Rhoads, di
rector of the institute since its
founding in 1945. He died
suddenly Aug. 13, 1959.
Problems Facing American
Indians Said Still Unsolved
Salem - (DPD - The newly
created State Board of Agri
culture will hold its first meet
ing Thursday.
Washington Major prob
lems of education, health and
economic development of the
American Indian remain un
solved although the Federal
Government has been in the
Indian business for the past
185 years.
The Continental Congress
declared its jurisdiction over
affairs in 1775, and
the Federal Government be
gan making payments to In
dians in 1789.
Since then it has spent
more than $3 billion on In
dian programs. Of this, $1.1
iinon has been spent during
he past decade. If the present
'rend continues, Congress
KXn will be spending $200
million a year on Indian pro
grams. How Many Indians?
The Federal Government
estimates that there are about
535,000 Indians in the United
States, of whom 360,000 are
under some type of Federal
jurisdiction. Collectively they
have a considerable amount
of assets. The Federal Govern
ment holds 52.2 million acres
of trust land for Indians. The
land is conservatively valued
at $279 million, and it is tax
exempt. Other assets of Fed
erally controlled Indians are
estimated at $316 million.
Even so, the average Indian
under Federal jurisdiction is
usually poor, often illiterate
and in poor health. The Bu
reau of Indian Affairs esti
mates that half of the Indians
under its jurisdiction are
functionally illiterate. The
U.S. Public Health Service,
in charge of Indian health, es
timates that infant mortality
is nearly four times greater
among Indians than non-In
dians.
In a major attempt to get
Indians educated, BIA has
launched several programs in
recent years to get out-of-school
Indian children in
school and to provide voca
tional training to adult In
dians. The U. S. Public Health
Service has embarked on a
big hospital and clinic con
struction program to improve
Indian health, particularly in
remote areas of the Southwest
and Alaska.
Both programs have been
relatively successful. But the
Indian program gets bigger
each year because the Indian
population is increasing at the
rate of 2.5 per cent annually,
faster than that of any other
minority group in this country.
Some Federal programs
and policies in recent years
have been highly controver
sial. A relocation program be
gun seven years ago to relo
cate reservation Indians to ur
ban areas is opposed by some
Indian tribes and Indian or
ganizations. They look upon
it as an effort to force Indians
into the mainstream of Ameri
can life and to break up their
tribes and traditions. They
want the Federal Government
to develop their reservation
resources .instead.
A number of Indian experts
question whether remote In
dian reservation areas can
ever provide a reasonably
high standard of living for the
fast -growing Indian popula
tion. Chairman Richard L.
Neuberger (D-Ore.) of the
Senate Indian Affairs Sub
committee asks:
"Was the original theft (of
Indian land) so thorough that
the soil will not accept the
seed?"
Termination Policy
Congress in 1953 without
debate adopted a resolution
stating "it is the policy of
Congress, as rapidly as possi
ble .. . to end (Indians') stat
us as wards of the United
States." Indian organizations
and many Indian tribes went
up in smoke over this so
called "termination" program.
Interior Secretary Fred A.
Seaton has interpreted termi
nation as "an objective, not
an immediate goal." He claims
that the Federal Government
will not end its jurisdiction
over any tribe unless a ma
jority of the tribe wants to
be rid of Federal controls.
More than a dozen tribes and
bands totalling 16,000 Indians
have been or are in the proc
ess of being terminated from
Federal controls since 1954.
Neuberger holds that "the
question of justice" for the
American Indian "is - still to
be solved" by the Govern
ment. But Chairman James A.
Haley (D-Fla.) of the House

Indian Affairs Subcommittee
is more optimistic.
"By providing a sound edu
cation for every Indian child,
much understanding and en
lightened leadership," Uncle
Sam should have the Indian
problem solved in another 25
years, Haley estimates.
Sees Great Future
And Indian Commissioner
Glenn L. Emmons looks ahead
to a great future for the Am
erican Indian.
"As I think back over the
changes that have taken place
to Indians since I became
Commissioner in 1953, it is
hard to believe they are the
same people," Emmons told
Congressional Quarterly. "I
am proud of what we have
done and of what the Indians
have done to improve their
lot." He is particularly en
couraged about the growing
interest among Indians in the
value of education.
"Once the Indians' sense of
pride is restored, once they
are educated and gainfully
employed, the Indian problem
will be virtually solved," Em
mons stated.

'THE MAN WHO' WON'T
Syracuse, N. Y. -IUPD- Dr.
Paul L. Maglione ran for the
office of coroner promising he
would abolish the post if
elected. He called it archaic
and inefficient. Maglione was
defeated.
Secretaries Taught
Nurse Procedures
Syracuse, N.Y. - (UPD - St.
Joseph's Hospital here is try
ing to ease the nurse shortage
by teaching secretaries how to
take temperatures, read blood
pressure and administer hy
prodermics. A spokesman explained that
many registered nurses are
leaving hospital staffs to work
in doctors' offices as secre
taries and assistants.
The idea of St. Joseph's
three-month course is to give
young women with secretarial
training an education In ele
mentary medical procedures
so they can replace these
nurses, keeping them avail
able for hospital staffs.
