JUNE 21. 19R2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON A, By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York flirt- For the first time cancer research has had a very close look at what cancer does to nature's own mice - the mice housewives may have a chance to shriek at and which may be living right now in your cellar. i A large amount of cancer re search is done Deloi snuih jn mice but these mice are science's ani mals rather than nature's. They've been selectively bred, cross-bred and inbred over hundreds of mouse genera, tions, in ways that couldn't possibly happen naturally. In their hereditary chemis try, nature couldn't recognize some of these lines as mice. Some lines are highly suscep tible to cancer. Other lines are as highly resistant. The ques tion is, how far are these mice from nature's own as regards cancer? Drs. Howard B. Andcrvont and Thelma B. Dunn of the National Cancer institute, Bethesda, Md., have been seeking (he answer for 14 years. They now report that in nature cancer and mice are well acquainted, and appar ently much better acquainted lhan cancer and people are. Use House Mice The scientists began in 1947 with 19 freshly captured1 house mice, 13 females and 6 males, relationships, if any, unknown. In 1951 they added 30 more unknowns from live traps, equally divided be tween the sexes. These mice and their prog eny then lived in cages for a Russians to Expand Indoctrination Plans New York - flJPn - An ex pert on Soviet education says the Soviet Union will expand its policy of enrolling school children in boarding schools where family influences are Ineffectual until all school children are schooled away from home. Albert Weeks Jr., instruc tor on communist theory at New York University's divi sion of general education, says the Russians ,lcarned from the 1956 uprisings in Poland and Hungary that workers must be indoctrinat ed and disciplined from a ten-1 der age if disloyalty is to be prevented. RIDES IN STYLE Washington -itlPIl- An ambu lance rushed to a shopping center Tuesday where a wom an had fainted in flO-degree heat. The prostrate woman opened her eyes and asked if the ambulance was air-conditioned. When told it wasn't, she dismissed the drivers with instructions to call "one of those private, air-conditioned ones." torv mice that approximates the life span, but at two years the mice were flourishing still. Thereafter the mice were allowed to live for two years and six months. Drs. Andcrvont and Dunn For a few years Ihe mice I reported their autopsies oi which remained in health I 225 mice of which 98 had a were permitted to live for malignant tumor - or tumors, two years before they were That's a percentage of 43.5, subjected to a post-mortem much higher than any of the warrh for cancer In lnbora-1 various calculations or inci- siieable part of the mouse life span. Overbreeriing and any intensive inbreeding were prevented. Food, water and cage-cleaning were -irovided, of course. Otherwise science left them alone dence of cancer "among human beings. Of these mouse cancers, 64 per cent appeared in mice who were far past the prime of mouse life. Only one cancer appeared in a quite young mouse and the remaining tu mors were spread out over mouse middle years. This has agreement with cancer and age in people. Lung cancer was the most mice. It was similar to lung cancer of in-bred laboratory mice in which it also is com mon, but In the latter it usu a 1 1 y occurs in multiples whereas In wild mice there was only a single tumor. In inbred mice, lymphoc tic leukemia also Is common. There was only one case of it among the wild mice. In In bred mice it may be caused by a virus. The scientists won dered if inbreeding either in creased the susceptibility of mice to the virus or the activ ity of the virus or both. This question they couldn't answer at once, but another question they could and did answer. Viruses which cause the leukemia in inbred mice were injected into wild mice and caused leukemia in tnem too, Mechanization Shows World Wide Increase New York - HOT - The ex tent to which farmers have adopted mechanization is in dicated In Automobile Inter national's annual World Mo tor Census, which reports a global total of 12,180,400 trac tors in use during 1961, an in crease of 721,200 units, or per cent over 1960. Of the 1962 total, 4,029,873 were in the United States, Search for Toledo Woman Continues Newport, Ore. - HOT - Po lice are continuing a search for Mrs. Lucille Mae Grenz, 40, missing from her home at nearby Toledo since March 30, and expressed fear she may have met with foul play. Lincoln County Dist. Atty. A. R. McMullen said labora tory tests have shown that blood found splashed through out the bedroom of her home is human blood. Bedding, the mattress from her bed, and drapes from the bedroom were missing, but of ficers said all the woman's clothing and her personal be longings were intact. An investigation by state police and Lincoln county sheriff's officers has spread as far as Seattle, but there has been no indication of her whereabouts. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

In its 1961 annual report, the exchange said a continu ing study was made of the specialists' operations, and showed that about 85 per cent of their transactions were "primarily stabilizing." The part played by special ists on the stock exchanges has been both praised and crit icized over the years. Each is assigned a group of stocks listed on the exchange. He keeps a book, which is a strictly confidential record of buy and sell orders which have come to him. Every stock on the exchange has at least one specialist, and some of the more active stocks have several. If the specialist believes there is too wide a spread be tween a bid for a stock and the offer for it, he must in ject himself into the market on either the bid or offer side, or both. The exchange act pro vides that he may not trade as a principal, however, unless his trade contributes to the maintenance of a fair and or derly market. The specialist may also act as a broker, handling transac tions for other members and customers in his stock or group of stocks, but generally he cannot act as a broker and a dealer in the same transac tion. The NYSE report on the May 28-29-31 trading, In the week when volume ballooned to more than 40 million shares, said the specialists' work in the market increased substantially.

Briefly, on May 28, the day of a major market break, spe cialists bought 195,500 shares more than they sold, although they had made heavy net pur chases in the preceding week when the market levels also were slipping. Net Sellers On May 29 the market was down at the start and up at the finish, and specialists end ed the day as net sellers of about 129.800. On Thursday, when it went up, they con tinued as sellers on balance, registering net sales of 905. 010 shares. In recent testimony at a Se curities Exchange commission hearing in Washington, Funs ton explained that any mem ber wiio is to become a spe cialist is subject to special training. He must study a "specialist brief," a booklet with the rules, policies and firactices governing his functions, Funs ton said. When he applies for a position, he is registered as an associate specialist for usu ally 30 to 90 days, the time being set by the chairman of the exchange. During this time, on the New York Stock Exchange, he handles "the book," with the record of bids and offers, and makes bids and offers, but he may do so only in the pres ence and under the guidance of the regular specialist or an approved relief specialist. After this period of super vised work, the chairman or a floor official gives him an oral examination. If the official finds the results satisfactory, he is registered then as a reg ular or a relief specialist.
