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,

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.

of the exchange, pointed out
it was and is impossible for a
specialist to change major
market trends, but their activ
ities in trading rose sharly in
an effort to maintain it on as
"continuous and orderly a ba
sis as possible."
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

tion in recent years averaged
about 15 per cent, but it went
up to about 20 per cent of the
round lot purchases and sales.
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.

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.
