12 MAIL TRIBUNI, Medford, Or. A Friday, April 1, 1960 f A. Counterfeit Sex Hormones Used in Cancer Treatment By DELOS SMITH UPI Science) Editor Louisville, Ky. IUPB - Chem ists today described the use of counterleit sex hormones f"l to treat cer- ? 4nin ttrrtAa rt lam J u cancer in men and women without giv ing the recip- ienta the char- ' acteristics of the opposite sex. wi Natural hor- Deloi smith moncs, manu factured by the endocrine glands in each sex, have been used successfully in slowing o rtemporarily arresting the sri'oad of certain types of cancer. Male sex hormon es have beer, successfully used in the treatment of breast cancer, the number one cancer-killer of women. Prostatic cancer of man has been treated with the use of female hormones. But the use of these hor mones produced in one sex the characteristics of the other. Same Mtdical Effects The counterfeit hormones have the medicinal effects of the natural hormones, but without the Inappropriate sex characteristics imposed by their use. ' Endocrinologists, the spec ialized chemists who have used the counterfeit hor mones, described their prog ress in cancer treatment at a seminar on cancer research sponsored by the American Cancer Society. One of them, Dr. Josef Fried of the Squibb Institute for Medical Research, de scribed one of the counter feits as having 10 times the potency medicinally of the natural hormones. Fried explained that the endocrinologists have achiev ed their triumphs by making changes in the molecules of hormones. Demand for Men To Fill Big Paying Jobs Declared Slipping By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-fflPD- Demand for men to fill jobs with salaries running up to $100,009 is slip- ry""""1""1 "II ping. A survey shows corpor ations n e e d I seven tenths of a man less than they did in the second half of 1959. According to a study by Ex- Elmer Walsei ecutive Man power Corp. of New York, President Urged To Visit Africa Washington-IUPD - The Rev. Billy Graham has urged Pres ident Eisenhower to visit Afri ca. He said the President promised to give the idea "very serious thought." Graham told Eisenhower during a White House visit that a trip to Nigeria next October, when it becomes in dependent from Great Brilain, would be good for U.S. re lations in Africa. The famed evangelist told newsmen such a trip would have great impact in Africa and would "identify the Uni ted States with nationalism." some 145 firms averaging an nual sales of $106 million need 2.5 top men per company in the next six months. A similar survey eight months ago revealed demand for 3.2 men for the big Jobs. Executive Biggest Need William A. Hertan, presi dent of Executive Manpower Corp., reports that of the 385 jobs available among partici pating companies, the biggest need was for sales executives. Next comes engineering management folio wed by manufacturing -pro duction specialists. Last year's poll showed de mand highest for manufacturing-production e x e c u fives with engineering second and sales management third. Marketing-advertising exec utives accounted for 11 per cent of the demand contrasted with only six per cent In the previous survey. Most of the jobs available pay from $10,000 to $20,000 yearly. One-eighth of the total carry a salary of $20,000 to $40,000. Some three per cent fall into the $40,000 to $75, 000 category. The last is twice as good as the previous survey which showed only 1.4 per cent of the jobs paying more than $40,000. How does your company find executives? Replies to that question showed the fav orite method was promotion from within - 64.1 per cent. In second place from fourth in the previous survey was management, recruiter. This displaced advertising and em ployment agency categories which were listed third and fourth respectively. Most difficult to find were engineers and sales and man ufacturing executives follow ed by manufacturing-production executives - about the same as the findings of the previous survey. Method of compensation for top executives produced the following answers: Salary plus bonus In first place with 29.9 per cent of the replies. The previous poll showed 34.9 per cent in this category. Salary plus merit raise was in second place with 22.3 per cent mentions. Then came straight salary, salary plus stock option, salary plus com mission, and salary plus defer red payment. Several firms mentioned various combinations of the foregoing. j Looking Outside I The poll showed more ex- ecutives being recruited from outside the companies - 39 per cent during the past year. Last year's figures showed this group at 29.2 per cent. A total of 48.7 per cent of the firms said they had man a g e m ent development pro grams, against more than 61.9 per cent of the group polled a year ago. Hertan released the average ages of management men about the same as last year: Of the total, ages 50 and 55 each accounted for 35.1 per cent; 22.9 per cent age 45; 3.8, per cent over 60; 2.2 per cent age 40, and 0.8 per cent age 65. None of the firms reported average age of executives as either 35 or 70 years. Still Tight Market Most of the firms surveyed found that it still is a tight market for good management talent. There was a difference of opinion on in-company train ing programs. One group held that training own executives Salem-UPD-The poultry dis ease committee of the Oregon Department of Agriculture has recommended the state re peal restrictions on the use or sale of live virus infectious bronchitis. produced the danger of stag nation.

UBB Tgx Revenues Said Below Estimates Washlngton-(UPD-The Treas ury has disclosed that federal tax revenues are running at I least $500 million below Pres ident Eisenhower's estimate for the current fiscal year end ing June 30 but said a bal anced budget is still likely. The President's budget esti mates last January envisioned a narrow revenue surplus of 217 million dollars in the 12 months ending June 30. He foresaw expenditures totaling $78,383,000,000. Officials said chances now were good, how ever, that farm subsidy out lays would fall below the ear lier estimate.
