M o n day's will be the first of four hearings next week to implement the milk sta bilization act adopted by the 1963 legislature. The law will . set minimum prices to farm ' ers. ; Farmers naturally will bat tle for high prices, while dis tributors seek lower prices. The hearing will be at 10 a. m. in the Capitol. Other hearings will be held Tuesday in the Lane county courthouse at Eugene, Wednesday at the Curry coun ty courthouse at Gold Beach, and Friday at the Baker com munity center. Market areas and minimum 'prices will be the topics of the Eugene, Gold Beach and Raker meetines. The Salem hoarinff also will include ' testimony on fees fanners will pay to finance the new milk price control .law Under the new measure, all milk handlers must secure permits by July 4. Marketing areas and prices for class 1 and 2 milk must be estab lished by Aug. 3. Market pools must be in operation on or before Oct. 2. K. W. Sawyer, chief of the milk audit and stabilization division of the Department of Agriculture, said the depart ment will set the new min imum prices after evidence received at the . hearings is reviewed. A six-point formula will be used: ' ". . ' The; a v e r a g e , price of manufactured milk in Wiscon sin and Minnesota. Prices of class ' 1 and 2 milk in adjoining states. The cost of transporting milk. The prevailing price for manufacturing grade milk used in products which com pete with products maderom grade A milk, The available supply of milk in relation to consump tion, and; The cost of producing Ruling Supports Former Communist Saiem-mPft-The Oregon Su preme Court, by a 5-2 deci sion, ruled weanesaay uii a former member of the Lonv munist party could be admit a in ho rirpeon Bar.

SECTION PAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORDS&ifeTRIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1963 The Medico Roundup Emaruu ConsulUnt la Attdicin Mayo runic Emeritus Protestor ol Utdlctna Mayo Clinic (Rtgiitar and Trtbunt lyndtcata, 193) grade A milk, including level ing of seasonal production to meet market requirements. Taken To Court If either distributors or farmers object to the prices set by the department, the issue can be taken to the courts, Sawyer said. Under-the temporary price stabilization act which ex pired in January the mini mum price was $5.86 per hun dred pounds. Prices in many areas dropped 36 cents to $5.50 per hundred pounds on June 1. Sawyer said he had not yet received much .comment on the new law from producers or wholesalers. "I expect I'll hear a lot of comment starting Monday," he added. , . ; v ... All grade A milk producers selling milk in Oregon are covered under the law and handlers are prohibited from purchasing milk that has not been produced under a quota. This means that out-of-state producers providing grade A milk to Oregon milk handlers will have to be assigned a quota. : , ; Ovarian Hormone During the many years in which I have been giving ovarian hormones to hundreds of menopausal women to re lieve them of their flushes, sweats, and 'nervous jjf 8 storms, i nave -I often had L trouble be- Jawej cause a broth- A it-Li .er physic i a n A,v,rM i m m ediately insisted that the woman stop taking the medicine-because he feared it would quickly give her a cancer. So far as I could ever find out, these men based their opinion largely on a paper published 30 or 40 years ago - a paper describing some re sults of giving huge doses of ovarian hormone to mice -throughout most of their life time. Actually, through all these years, I have never seen a case in which I thought the giving of ovarian hormone to a woman, for a few months or years, had produced can cer. Also, in recent years a number of eminent professors of gynecology have said that, so far as they knew, the giv ing of the hormone In small doses and for a matter of months or a year or two is safe. Curiously, many physicians lately have been giving large doses of ovarian hormone to women in the hope of curing them of cancer, or preventing the return of a cancer that had been removed - from a breast or the uterus. Also, today, there are thousands of men with cancer of the pros tate gland who are being treated with doses of ovarian hormone 20 times larger than those I give to menopausal women. So far, I haven t heard of any one of these men who developed a new cancer because of the taking of the female hormone. No Convincing Ptoof . . Recently, a paper appeared by Dr. R. A. Wilson of Brook' lyn, New York, in which he said, "There is no convincing evidence that estrogen (ova. rian hormone) has ever in duced cancer in the human. being." Dr. Wilson agrees with me when he says that we doctors are curious in our mental processes. We tell menopausal woman that estro gen makes cancer, and then we give it to cure cancer! Dr. Wilson based his state ment on a study of a group of 304 women ranging in age from 40 to 70 years who were treated with estrogens for periods of time ranging up to 27 years with an average of 7.8 years. He pointed out that according to the law of chances, during that time at least 18 of the 304 women should have developed a can cer in a breast or the womb without the taking of any medicine, but not a single cancer appeared. Another argument that Dr. Wilson uses is that when the famous Dr. Huggins produced cancer of the breast in 5S0 female rats and then fed them daily doses of estradiol plus progesterone (two female hor mones), cancer was cured in every case, and did not recur. Yet another good argument is that if estrogen is a com mon cause of cancer in wom en, why do some of them get a cancer after the menopause when their natural supply of estrogen is greatly reduced by the atrophy of the ovaries? Most of the literature on this subject can be found by physi cians in an article (published in December, 1962) by an emeritus professor of gynecol ogy and obstetrics at Stanford Univorsity-Dr. L. A. Emge. As he said, in the early work done on this subject, doses of estrogens were given "in excess of imaginable biologic limits." In other words, what happened to a tiny mouse given huge doses could not be expected to happen to a big woman given tiny doses. Much work on this subject by the great Dr. Leo Locb showed that whether or not cancer developed in a breast depended largely on an In herited tendency to the growth of cancer. - Locb showed that a "weak' estrogen would not make can cer in a mouse except In the presence of a strong inherited susceptibility. Other research work on small animals indi cated that estrogen (female hormone) is not a primary cancer-making drug. Dr. Emge and his asosciates and others for years tried to produce cancers by giving large doses of female hormone to rats, and nearly alwayi they failed. What is very Im Moore Is Elected ToAOl Position Portland-J. A. Moore, who recently moved from Medford to Portland, was elected vice president of Associated Ore gon Industries recently at the annual meeting of the state wide employer's association in Portland. Moore was director of the Medford Chamber of Com merce, Oregon Cancer So ciety, Oregon Shakespearean Festival and the United Med ford Crusade. He also was director and treasurer of the Jackson county Red Cross chapter. Moore is now vice president of First National Bank of Oregon at Portland. AOI also elected Robert R. Carey, president of Inland Machinery company. La Grande, to serve as president. Other officers for the 1063-64 year include Don A. Ellis, Tektronix, Inc., Bcaverton, treasurer; and R. A. Kronen berg Weyerhauser company, Springfield, secretary. portant is Dr. Emge's state ment that they always failed when using stilbestrol, which is the drug commonly used in the treatment of m e n o pausal women. Dr. Emge quoted Dr. J. A. Larson who, after reviewing 305 publica tions on this subject, wrote "there is but meager evi dence to implicate estrogen in the etiology (cause) of endo metrial (in the womb) can cer." Dr. Emge concluded that the long-continued use of ovarian hormone is a "pos sible hazard." Dr. Alvarez has prepared a booklet about cancer which helps readers spot danger signals. You may obtain a copy of the booklet by send ing 25 cents and a self addressed, stamped envelope with your request for it to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept.
