Unusually Heavy Fire Danger Seen
Washington -WPP- Govern
ment forestry officials have
told Congress they fear an
"unusually heavy" fire danger
In Oregon and Washington
this year.
Part of the reason, they told
a House Appropriations sub
committee in testimony pub
lished today, is the presence
of fallen timber caused by the
severe storm in October.
Russell E. Getty, Oregon
state director for the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM),
told the committee his bureau
had been working with state
and private agencies in an ef
fort to reduce the danger. '
"All protection agencies, all
management agencies are very
concerned about this point,"
he said. "We fear an unusu
ally heavy fire season."

High School Coed Suffering
From Cancer Relies on Drug

Diane Lindstrom is a normal
high school coed in every re
spect but one,
Her soft smile and shy eyes
hide the painful knowledge
that she suffers from a malig
nant bone cancer of the right
thigh.
She is staking her life on
the controversial cancer drug
Krcbiozen. ' .
And one of the great battles
of modern medicine, whether
Krebiozen is effective in the
fight against cancer, may
hinge on the outcome of
Diane's struggle to walk with
out pain.
Only one month ago, the
pretty 18-year-old girl faced
terrifying decision, either
have her leg amputated or
run the risk of never living
to see her 23rd birthday.
She said she would rather
die than have the leg ampu
tated.
The abnormalities
Diane's family physician
look x-rays when her leg be
gan lo ache last October. They
revealed no abnormalities.
In late January, Diane was
still in pain. More x-rays were
taken and the tumor was discovered.
'The doctor said the only
answer was amputation," Mrs.
Virginia Lindstrom told Chi
cago's American columnist
Jack Mablcy.
He said the cancer was
severe and the operation
should be done immediately."
Two days before the sched
uled amputation, the daughter
of a hospital worker visited
the Lindstroms.
"She told us about Krebio
zen, Mrs. Lindstrom said.
We hadn't even thought
about it. Oh, we'd heard about
it, the controversy and all.
The woman said she had faith
in what it could do against
cancer.
Mrs. Lindstrom and her
husband, Milton, went to Chi
cago to talk with Dr. Andrew
Ivy about the drug.
Ivy, an internationally
known scientist and former
vice president in charge of the
University of Illinois profes
sional schools, has been this
country's foremost proponent
of Krebiozen.
Lost Post
In Ivy's 10-year battle to
win acceptance of the drug
he lost his university post, the
Chicago Medical Society
moved to punish him for pro
moting a secret remedy.
and representatives of organ
ized medicine, including ' the
American Medical association,
declared Krebiozen "worth
less." A government evaluation

lic Utility Commissioner an
nounced. '
The new rates "restore com
petitive relationships" be
tween Oregon potato shippers
and those in southeast Idaho
where such a reduction has
been In effect since March,
1962.
The reduction is 13 cents
per hundred pounds on ship
ments from Malheur county
and central Oregon to the
midwest and southwest.
It was estimated Malheur
county shippers would save
from $50,000 to $75,000 a
year, and central Oregon ship
pers from $7,300 to $17,000.
of the drug is currently In
state of suspension.
Mrs. Lindstrom said that
when her husband "asked our
doctor about the drug, he
threw up his hands."
The Lindstroms decided to
postpone the operation and
find out more about Krebiozen.
"We asked. Diane," she
said.
We told her what we
thought. She had resigned
herself for the operation, but
right away she wanted to try
Krebiozen."
The operation was canceled,
Diane came to Illinois Mason
ic Hospital at Chicago for
Krebiozen treatments and the
family doctor wrote the fed
eral government asking that
the drug be barred from pub
lic use until it has been fully
tested.
Doctor Protested
The doctor's request was
refused. Ivy said the doctor
protested "apparently because
of professional jealousy."
After a month of treatment,
Diane said she "feels good."
"I'm up and around," she
said.
"I went to church Sunday."
Ivy said Diane "has lost all
the pain she had."
X-ray showed the tumor has
not grown and appeared to
be somewhat smaller than be
fore the Krebiozen treatments
started, Ivy said
Diane still comes to Chi
cago twice weekly for treat
ments.
I can't say what her
chances are," Ivy said. "We
have one girl going on her
fourth year, but this is very
malignant. We didn't make
any promises, just gave them
the facts and said you have
to make up your own mind."
Diane said she would
rather die than go through
life without a leg," Ivy said.

Source of Typhoid
Infection Sought
Los Angeles -IUPII- Health
officials searched today for
the source of a typhoid infec
tion that has caused the worst
outbreak of the disease in
Southern California in recent
years. A total of 18 cases have
been traced to a single teen
age gathering. ' .v
Two boys, age 1 and 9, were
hospitalized Thursday, bring
ing the tally to 18 definite or
suspect cases. Eight persons
definitely had the disease and
one was reported in critical
condition, authorities said.
All 18 were guests or came
in contact with those who at
tended a teen-age party Feb,
16 in Pacoima. Most of the
victims range in age from 1
to 17.
Two to three new suspected
cases have been delected each
day the past week as author
ities conducted exhaustive
tests of 85 persons connected
with the party.
A health official said the
source of the typhoid bacillus
was believed to be a chicken
salad served at the party or
the well water of a woman
who prepared some of the
food served at the affair.

r There was, then, a certain
amount of tension in the air
when the time came this week
for the handicappers to de
liver their first public prog
nostication of the year.
Veteran handicappers will
tell you that it is impossible to
make an accurate prediction
on the blooming date of cher
ry trees earlier than 10 days
before the blossoms appear.
Nevertheless, George W.
Robey, a handicapper with 31
years experience, was willing
to go out on a limb two weeks
in advance of the festival
opening.
I don't mean that Robey ac
tually climbed one of the
trees. What he did was cut off
a few twigs at regular inter
vals and stick them in a pail
of water in his officej
Observes Indoor Bloom
: By observing how long it
took them to bloom Indoors,
and adjusting that time ac
cording to . the weather bu
reau's long range forecast,
taking into account the mois
ture content of the soil, he
was able to estimate the
blooming period outdoors.
Along with a congressman,
a festival princess and various
other interested parties, I was
present at the Jefferson Me
morial on the banks of the
tree-ringed tidal basin when
Robey revealed his prediction.
Not to keep you in suspense
any longer, he predioted that
the festival, scheduled for
April 2-7, would come in first.
His calculations fixed the
peak blossom period as April
6-10.
Before you make any bets,
however, I must caution that
cherry blossoms are great
stretch runners and to me the
track looked fast.
If you're looking for a sure
thing, better put your money
on the swallows at Capistrano.
