How To Avoid Inoperable
Cancer of Stomach
The recent experience of
Pope John-whose continued
guidance this world so greatly
needed -has
added force to
my life long
conten t i o n
that if a man
past middle
age would pre
fer not to be
told someday
that he has a
cancer of the
stomach too
big for removal, there is one
thing that he must not do: he
must not wait until he gets a
stomachache or a hemorrhage
-then it will probably be too
late. He must go every year,
no matter how well he feels,
to get his stomach and bowel
X-rayed.
I admit that this is a nuis
ance, and personally I hate
it; but I am alive today be
cause for the past 35 years I
have practiced what I have
preached. One day, three
years ago, when 1 was feeling
very fit and having to watch
my weight, an X-ray examina
tion showed that I had a can
cer of the large bowel. For
tunately, it was still so small
that it could all be removed,
and today I feel fine.
For awhile in a couple of
university medical schools, an
effort was made to get many
middle-aged people to come in
every year for a free X-ray ex
amination of their stomach.
This type of clinic was given
up, as I remember, largely be
cause when a small beginning
cancer was found in a man's
stomach and he was urged to
be operated on right away, he
generally refused, saying he
felt perfectly well.
Wanted to Wait
He wanted to wait until he
felt ill, and had perhaps an
anemia, some indigestion,
some pain, or some loss of
weight. He could not be con
vinced that by the time he had
those symptoms, the chances
would be that no surgeon
would operate on him; his can
cer would have spread into his
liver, and perhaps into his
whole abdomen.
I hate to seem too pessimis
tic, but these are the facts.
At the Mayo Clinic, we in the
gastroenterologic section used
to say that if we saw 100 per
sons with cancer of the stom
ach, SO were inoperable, and
could only be sent home.
X-ray treatment would not
help them. In the cases of the
other 50 persons, we would
ask a surgeon to look into the
abdomen, but we knew that in
half of these cases, the sur
geon would see in a minute
that he could not do anything,
and would just close the ab
domen. In the cases of the remain
ing 25 patients, the surgeon
would remove the tumor, but
even then, he would know
that in many cases, he would
be unable to remove all of the
cancer.
Since detecting cancer early
is important, Dr. Alvarez has
included a list of 19 danger
signals in his 25-cent booklet,
"What We Know About Can
cer." You may get a copy of
the booklet by sending 25
cents and a self-addressed,
stamped envelope with your
request to Dr. Walter C. Al
varez, Dept. MMT, Box 957,
Des Moines 4, Iowa.
Brandenburg Gate
Curtains Ridiculed
Washington -(UPD- The State
Department has ridiculed the
huge red curtains hung by
Communist authorities to
block President Kennedy's
view into East Berlin.
Department press officer
Richard I. Phillips said Thurs
day the hanging of the cur
tains between pillars of the
Brandenburg Gate during
Kennedy's visit to West Berlin
was a "shamed-face action."
"For this East German pup
pet regime it has not been suf
ficient to put up a wall so peo
ple cannot pass; they must put
up a curtain so people cannot
see," Phillips said.
Kennedy-Goldwater Contest
Seen as 'Good for Country'
Washington -flJPD- Interior
Secretary Stewart Udall feeis
a 1964 contest between Presi
dent Kennedy and Sen. Barry
M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.) "might
be a healthy thing for the
country."
The resulting battle for the
presidency would be "an old
fashioned campaign between
conflicting political concepts,
something we haven't had for
some time," according t o
Udall.
The interior secretary, a lib
eral Democrat from Goldwa
tcr's state, told a news con
ference Thursday that the Re
publican party might do well
to nominate the conservative
GOP senator.
Udall said selection of Gold
water "would pit a true con
servativea nominee carrying
a conservative banner-against
our President and the record
he has made."
He said Goldwater "appar
ently represents the view of
the party," and nomination of
such a candidate by the Re
publicans would be something
the GOP "hasn't done in 20
years."
Address Young GOP
Udall's comments came
while the senator was in San
Francisco to speak to the na
tional Young Republican con
vention, which has demon
strated strong backing for
Goldwater.
Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.)
meanwhile told a news confer
ence Thursday that whoever
Manslaughter Guilt
Declared at Dalles
The Dalles - (UPD - A Wasco
County Circuit Court jury
found Jake George Gross guil
ty of manslaughter Thursday
in the April 14 death of Frank
Edward Finnegan at a ranch
east of Wasco.
Gross was v charged with
first degree murder, but
Judge Edward H. Howell in
structed the jury not to con
sider that charge because the
state failed to show sufficient
evidence of premeditation.
The jury returned the ver
dict after six hours of delib
eration. Howell set no date
for sentencing but said it
would occur within a week.
Finnegan was beaten to
death in an altercation in a
bunkhouse at the Fred Dor
maier ranch near Wasco. The
trial was moved from Sher
man to Wasco county after de
fense attorney Kenneth Abra
ham requested a change of
venue.
seeks the GOP nomination
"will find it desirable and
even necessary" to have the
backing of former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller also
said at a Senate hearing he
hoped there would be another
series of televised "great de
bates" between the Democrat
ic and Republican candidates
next year.
Miller testified in favor of
suspending the "equal time"
provision of broadcast laws to
make this possible. Kennedy
already has said he will de
bate the GOP candidate on
television as he did with Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
in 1960.
Declines Senate Race
Udall's comments on Gold
water's candidacy came when
he was asked whether he
planned to run for the Senate
against the Republican sena
tor next year.
The interior secretary said
he had no such plans. "I am
very happy where I am. I am
not expecting a change in my
status here," he said.
Goldwater's Senate term ex
pires next year, and he has
said he will announce his in
tentions sometime early in
1964.
Scott called Eisenhower the
head of the GOP and said an
endorsement from the former
president would prove valu
able to anyone hoping to win
the nomination. He intimated
Eisenhower would be active in
the 1964 GOP campaign, but
refused to say what part the
former president would play.
Lists Candidates
Scott listed eight GOP can
didates he said might run for
president: Goldwater, Gov.
George M. Romney of Michi
gan, Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller of New York, Sen.
Thurston B. Morton, Ky., Gov.
William M. Scranton of Penn
sylvania, Gov. Mark O. Hat
field of Oregon, Gen. Lucius
Clay and former NATO commander-in-chief
Gen. Lauris
Norstad.
Regarding Scranton, t h e
Pennsylvania senator said he
believed the governor "pre
fers to limit his activities to a
favorite son status" to keep
the state delegation inde
pendent until it decides on a
national candidate. -
In Harrisburg, Pa., Thurs
day, Scranton denied that a
favorite son role for himself
would be designed to prevent
Goldwater from winning the
Pennsylvania delegation.
Minuteman Hits
Atlantic Target
Cape Canaveral - m - A
sleek, swift Minuteman, the
"instant ICBM" that forms
the backbone of the nation's
continent-based missile strik
ing force, streaked more than
4.000 miles to a target in the
Atlantic Ocean Thursday
night.
Minutes after the rocket
blasted from its underground
launching site, the Air Force
said the firing was a "com
plete success."
More than 100 nuclear-tipped
Minuteman rockets al
ready are in tying position
at underground launching
silos throughout the United
States. Evenually, the nation
will have 900 of them on station.
