Motherwell Gels
Life in Prison
Dowieville, Calif. (UPD Lar
ry Lord Motherwell has been
sentenced to life in prison
for the murder of Mrs. Pearl
Putney, 72-year-old Washing
ton, D.C. widow.
Under California law, the
42-year-old defendant would
be eligible for parole in seven
years-but Judge Warren Steel
said he would recommend
"substantially more than the
minimum time" for Motherwell.
Steel also denied a request
for a new trial, based on de
fense claims that Motherwell
was convicted solely on cir
cumstantial evidence.
A jury found the defendant
guilty of first degree murder-
a crime punishable either by
execution or life in prison.
The jury returned the prison
verdict, although both judge
and jury indicated they felt
one penalty was too severe
and the other too lenient.

It's really up to you. Your
physician cannot detect an
early cancer or an even earl
ier precancerous condition
without a patient.
It is therefore your respon
sibility to see Die doctor at
the first danger signal of can
cer, and for a regular check
up.
Let's talk about the check
up and what it should include.
There are cancers common to
both sexes; others vary in
men and women. So a word
of advice to each, the ladies
first.
Breast cancer Is the first
cause of cancer deaths among
women. It takes 24,000 lives
yearly, more than half of all
cases. But many could be
saved if cancer could be diag
nosed before it colonizes in
other parts of the body. In
your check-up the doctor will
look for a possible lump.
Regular Examination
But between check ups you
must examine your breasts
regularly once a month. The
technique is simple. Your doc
tor will show it to you, or the
American Cancer Society will
tell you where you can see
the film "Breast Self-Exam-ination."
It has been seen by
millions of women and has
saved many lives.
Even more lives can be
saved from uterine cancer. It
will take a toll of 14,000 this
year. Yet it is a dramatic
truth that no woman need die
of this disease.
Cancer of the uterus can
be detected when the very
first malignant cells appear,
often years berore tumor
growth. We call it cancer in
situ. The cells are cast off
and can be picked up, put
on a slide and seen through
a microscope. This uterine
cancer cell examination, also
called the Pap smear for Dr.
George N. Papanicolaou who
developed it, should be part
of the pelvic examination.
which should be part of your
regular check up.
If every woman in the
country had an annual smear
test, deaths from uterine can.
cer would drop to nearly nill
And now a few important
words to men. If you think
of cancer as a "woman s dis
ease" you are years behind
the facts. Out of every 100
cancer deaths, only 48 are wo
men and 54 are men.
Lung cancer is the outstand
ing menace to men; nearly
31,000 will die of it this year.
Factors of this disease were
discussed in an earlier article.
I need only add this about
your check up: We urge a
yearly chest X-ray for all
adults. It is a must for cig
arette smokers. Don't forget
you can stop smoking now
and imnrove your chances
against lung cancer. And if a
cough persists for more than
two weeks, see your doctor.
Another common cancer
site in men is the prostate,
with 15,300 deaths estimated
for 1960. Again many of these
lives could be saved.
Strikes Silently
Do the words become a re
frain? They should, for can
cer strikes silently. With can
cer of the prostate, silent
growth can continue for years
before you know anything is
wrong. But your doctor can
detect an early prostate con
dition by a simple and pain
less examination of the gland.
It is a wise yearly precaution
for men over 40.
We come now to common
cancers found in both sexes
-in the colon and the stom
ach. Pre-cancerous conditions
in these sites were discussed
earlier. But how are they ex
amined in a check up?
A routine office examina
tion cannot delect a stomach
tumor. But the doctor can
look for conditions sugges
tive of cancer when he checks
acidity and looks for abnor
malities in the blood count
and urinalysis. He can also
take stock of old digestive
troubles. Any new ones, any
change in bowel habits, call
for a visit to the doctor with
out waiting for a check up.
And waste no time, for stom
ach cancer is a grim enemy.
Cancer of the colon is much
more hopeful. And much more
tragic. There is no contradic
tion, for the potential of cure
in this site is high, much
higher than the stomach. Yet
cancer of the colon and rec
tum is the first cause of can
cer deaths. Nearly 39,000 will
die in i960.

In case you are confused,
the rectum is actually part of
of the colon or large intestine.
And more than half the tum
ors in this site are found in
the rectum. If they are de
tected while localized to the
mucous lining, they can have
a rate cure as high as 73 per
cent. And a routine office
check up can find an early
tumor in this site, or an even
earlier precancerous condi
tion. The American Cancer So
ciety urges a digital examina
tion of the rectum, supple
mented by the proctoscope, or
its variant the proclosigmol
doscope. These instruments
can "see" far enough Into the
colon to detect the majority
of lesions found there. Your
doctor can suggest advance
preparation to help him make!
the examination with a mini
mum of discomfort, perhaps
none at all.
If the examination is neg
ative, you will be rewarded
with the comfort of knowing .
there is nothing alien at work
in the colon and rectum. Or if
there is, think how you have
bettered your chances.

a Plymouth at an average
23.75 m.p.g. to pace Jim Fos-
dick, Los Angeles, in a similar
car averaging 23.39.
Rambler Paces Class
Ginny Sims, North Holly
wood, Calif., moved from
third into second place In the
compact car division by av
eraging 28.01 m.p.g. Vlnce
Piggins, Lrvonia, Mich., led
