Srish Doctor Says
Form of Cancer Is
Caused by Mosquito
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-Dr.
Denis Burkitt, an outspoken
Irishman who is now the top
surgeon in Uganda, came to
town today to talk about a "bi
zarre, totally absurd" form of
cancer which he believes is
carried by mosquitos.
The best thing about it, he
said, is that it can often be
cured.
Burkitt discussed the disease
which others call "Burkitt's
Tumor." and which he calls
"an absurd lymphoma" in a
press briefing at the 49th annual
clinical congress of the Ameri
can College of Surgeons.
The congress has drawn near
ly 12.000 fellows of the college,
including more than 7,500 sur
geons' to a week-long series of
lectures, discussions and exhi
bits that amount to a post-graduate
course in surgery.
Burkitt. who went to Uganda
in 1!M6 with the British Colonial
Service and is now chief gov
ernment surgeon for the newly
independent nation, said the tu
mor named for him is the most
overwhelmingly common form
of cancer found in children in
tropical Africa.
It is almost nonexistent in the
Western World, he said, but in
certain areas of Central Africa
it's found in children of every
race and every circumstance.
Rm-biH ciH hp has been able
to gather certain data about the
disease despite rather severe
limitations on the research re
sources available "I worked
three and a half years on a $75
grant."
He spent seven years, he said
documenting the geographical
distribution of the disease, and
this and other factors convinced
him that it was caused by a
virus probably carried by
mosquitos.
Factors of elevation and dis
tance from the equator combine
he said, to indicate that the dis
ease cannot occur where the
minimum temperature ever
drops below 60 degrees. This is
the minimum, he said, below
which most mosquitos fail to
propagate and it also provides
the heavy rainfall and vegeta
tion necessary for them.
"There is no doubt at all." he
said, "that this is an environ
mental cancer."
It is not found on the islands
of Zanzibar and Penba 30 miles
off the African coast. This
moans Rurkitt said, "that the
cause cannot cross 30 miles of
sea."
The most bizarre and ab
surd" aspect of the cancer, he
said is the manner in which it
may settle almost anywhere in
the body jaw. genitals, thyroid
and so on except the spleen,
Holbrook Receives
Award for Service
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Portland.
Ore., author Stewart Hol
brook today received the 1963
Distinguished Service Award
presented annually on behalf of
the nation's forest industries by
American Forest Products In
dustries. The award is made each year
to a non-industry individual who
has contributed significantly to
better public understanding of
forestry, forest conservation
and the role of the forest indus
tries. Holbrook. now "0. is known as
the only logger ever to lecture
at H.inard.
which ordinarily should be a
prime target.
Ninety per cent of the cases
are in children and the peak
age is five to seven.
Burkitt treats the cancer with
the chemicals ncthotrexate and
cytoxin.
"I know of no cancer which
is so responsive to treatment,"
he said. "I've treated about 60
patients, and although it's diffi
cult to follow up because most
of them disappear back into the
bush, I know at least 20 are
still alive four months to three
years after treatment. Fifteen
died that I know of."
Wesfinghouse,
Union Heads to
Resume Parley
PITTSBURGH (UPI) - Bar
gaining between representatives
of the Westinghouse Electric
Corp. and the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers (IBEW) resumes today in
the face of a strike deadline at
midnight tonight.
Federal mediators, who
helped settle the company's
contract dispute with the Inter
national Electrical Workers Un
ion (IUE) earlier, gave no in
dication of any progress after
day long sessions Wedresday.
the federal mediators entered
the IBEW-Westinghouse talks
Tuesday.
The union represents 12,000
members at 60 Westinghouse lo
cations. If no agreement is
reached by midnight tonight,
about 800 workers at 20 loca
tions will be free to strike. The
40 other locations where the
IBEW is represented operate
under local contracts and would
be unaffected.
Meanwhile the company is
also negotiating with the United
Electrical Workers (UE) union
which has been bargaining on
a day-to-day basis since Oct. 14
under a contract extension.
U.S. Army Captain
Defects to East
Berlin to Work
BERLIN (UPI) - A U.S.
Army captain from Scranton,
Pa., who defected to East Ger
many said today he will live in
East Berlin and work to inform
Americans about communism.
Alfred Svenson, 31-year old
Lithuanian-born soldier, crossed
the East-West border on May 4
and asked to be allowed to stay
in Communist East Germany.
He was given a minor editorial
job with the East German
radio.
Svenson recently denied re
ports that he tried to flee back
to the West and was beaten by
Communist plain clothesmcn.
"As a journalist I want to
do my part to contribute to a
policy of peaceful coexistence
and help avert a new war," he
said today in the East German
magazine Zeit Im Bild.
Svenson claimed one of the
reasons he deserted was that
he was forced to tell lies about
communism to the men under
him.
"I asked the German
Democratic Republic for asy
lum because the contradiction
between what I was allowed to
tell my soldiers and what I
knew about the realities caused
the pangs of conscience," said
Svenson.
Svenson's mother. Mrs. An
tonia Svenson, lives in Wash
ington, D.C.
Egan Urges Smith
As Head Bureau
VICTORIA, B.C. (UPI)- Gov.
William A. Egan of Alaska 1
urged Wednesday that Ambassa
dor Benjamin A. Smith II be
named to head a new federal
Department of Fisheries and
Oceanography.
The Alaska governor made
the suggestion in a speech be- j
fore the Association of Pacific
i Fisheries here.
Smith is the chief American
negotiator in the series of con-;
ferences between the United
j States. Japan and Canada lead-!
; ing toward a new North Pacific
' fisheries treaty,
i Egan said a Department of
Fisheries and Oceanography "is
long overdue."
j "More often than not we have
sought to meet the complexities ',
i of world fisheries economics
hastily and haphazardly." Egan 1
said. "We have made no effort
to develop a well-reasoned and ;
j stable policy."
The governor recommended .
that the new department include
! a revamped Fish and Wildlife
Sen ice. now under the Interior
Department, and an oceanogra
' phic section.
