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

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."
