Theory On Cancer Scored By Medical Authority NEW YORK l!PI The scien tilic theory which has guided much of the total world eifort to solve the cancer riddle' for more than SO years, "has resulted in no good thing,, but in much that is bad." This is no ordinary criticism be cause it is the criticism of Dr Peyton Rous who, though he i. largely unknown to the general public. Is a grade-A international celebrity in cancer science. Some of the "bad,' he said, is that rievdtion to the theory has caused many scientists to con clude cancer is "inherent" in lile itself and therefore can't be solved until the very secrets of life are solved. . "Here is fatalism to blast many a hope and effort," he continued, "fortunately, the puWic. -now em powering large-scale - attempts to cure cancer, are. a hard-headed generation. .Theyr have learned the .esson of Ihe antibiotics", substan ces transcending all medical pre conceptions." , But "most serious" of the "bad" See Pg. 23-June 14th Family Weekly Why Stauffer Home , Plan pet Results IVA QCIYER . Ph. 4-4450 shop . . . after all' a CC MENACE" Haunt we better start is the effect of the theory on scion lific research workers. "It acts as a tranquilizer on those who believe in it," said Dr. Rous, "and this at a time when every worker should -feel goaded now and again hy his ignorance of what cancer is. The theory is the "somatic mu tation hypothesis," and it should be understood that in science, theory is most useful. You take the known facts and from the way you relate them to one another, you try to get an idea of the na ture of the unknown facts. When you get that idea, you have some thing to prove or disprove. The most conspicuous fact about cancer is that cancerous cells arise somehow out of the normal cells which are called somatic or body cells to distinguish them from the germ cells which have the power to initiate new and inde pendent life. ierm cells mu tale" or change and when it hap pens, their descendants can be freed of laws which governed the parents. (turn this last fact, you can get the idea that somatic cells also mutate. When you add the fact that cancerous cells are out laws when compared to the normal cells from which they originated. you have the somatic mutation hypothesis." But the followers of this theory, Dr. Rous said, have yet to prove that the somatic cells of human beings mutate They have proved that the so matic cells of plants and of the lower forms of animal life do mu tate and this, of course, has given more reason lor faith in the theo ry. They have also proved that hundreds of chemical sub stances and outside conditions can start the cancerous process in hu man bodies, but they have yet to show , that any of these set off "mutations" in normal somatic cells. Dr. Rous, who will be AO years old next October, is an adherent of the theory that viruses set otf the cancer process he proved be yond any quibble that je certain type of cancer of chickens is caused by a particular virus. That cancer is now called the "Rous virus sarcoma." It is the basis of his celebrity in science, al though he has made many more contributions. Since his discovery, a number of other viral cancers have been dis covered, but only in animals. So far no human cancer has been proved to he virRl of origin. However, these animal facts are the basis of the theory that viruses cause human cancers. If so. Dr. Rous' references to the lesson the "hard-headed" pub lic learned frora the mitibiotics, is apt. The antibiotics cure diseases caused by bacteria which once were considered incurahle, as can cer still is. From this fact a theory can be developed that it would be possible to deal with human cancer viruses 'if they ex ist i just as effectively. Dr. Rous, a native of Baltimore, has been affitiated with the Rocke feller Institute since 1009. He at tacked the "somatic mutation theory" in Ihe technical journal. "Nature." Seven Killed In Car Crash BAKF.RSFIEI.D (t'PI) - The death toll was listed as seven to day in a two car collision on a straight stretch of Highway about 30 miles north of Mojave Sunday. The Highway Patrol reported the lone survivor, Lonnie Curtis. 7, of Edwards, died Monday night in the base hospital at the China Lake Naval Test Center.

Right now, the Defense Depart ment ha plans lor spending over eight billion dollars on rival meth ods of protecting the U.S. against nussian Domning planes. That spending is programmed for the Air Force's anti-aircraft Bomarc missile system and the Army's anti-aircraft Nike-Hercules system. These are the two missiles over which the big fight is. raging now in Congress and in the Pen tagon. One group argues both systems are necessary. Others claim Bo marc duplicates Nike-Hercules so closely that one should be aban doned in favor of the other. Neither system is worth anything against intercontinental ballistic missiles or even against short range ballistic missiles fired from Russian submarines. Yet by the time these svstems are fully operational with the needed radar and communications systems in place and the bugs taken out it will be well into I'.til By Mil the chief threat to the defense of the United States will be ballistic missiles, not bombers According to the best intelligence estimates tne Russians are not building a big intercontinental bomber force. There's even some strong ques tioning on how good either system would be against Russian bomb ers Any Russian bomber raid say in 1980 is likely to be with Hound Dog type of airborne missiles fired 40 or 500 miles from target. The Army s Nike - Hercules wouldn't reach that far. When they move into position to fire their missiles, the Red planes are expected to push up to an alti tude of over 100,000 feet. Bomarc missiles won't reach that altitude. Furthermore, the Bomarc guid ance system is tricky. It's worked well in tests. But there s a great deal of doubt as to how reliable it would be against a hundred or more bombers using decoys like the Quail missile, electronic gadg ets to confuse U.S. radar and modern jamming tactics. BOMARC . The Air Force's newest version of the Bomarc has a range of over 400 miles. It can be fired rapidly. Air Force men say a squadron of over 32 missiles can be fired in 30 seconds. Thyroid Glands Imperiled By Atom Radiation Fallout By JOSEPH L. MYLER WASHINGTON (UPI A scien tist said today that atomic fallout has exposed the sensitive thyroid glands of U.S. children to annual radiation doses one to two times the yearly dose from natural ra diation. This .estimate, covering "the hist few years," was made in a report to the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. E. B. Lewis of the California Institute of Tech nology. The fallout dose to the thyroid comes from short-lived radioactive iodine. Lewis said it poses "a spe cial hazard to infants and chil dren." He said there is evidence that their thyroid glands are much more susceptible to radiation-in duced cancer than ' the same glands in adults. Scientists dilfer as to whether low radiation doses like those from fallout can cause cancer. Cook Secrets Revealed FORT LAl'DERDALE. Fla 'API Some of the finalists in the Mrs. America contest disclosed a few of their cooking secrets Mon day night. The most startling intelligence: the women said they olten use prepared mixes to cut cooking time. Alter all, said Mrs. Pennsyl vania.

"I consider myself a very av erage homemaker." she said. 6 Cartoons and HuNreo n House has 'W&tSty -and if '3 himself! r MICKEY ROONEY Like the Army's Nike-Hercules. the new Bomarc will do about 2. (KM miles sn hour. It will hit a plane at 90.000 feet. With the Bomarc. the Air Force aims at setting up a line across ihe northern U S. frontier with groups of batteries several hun dred miles apart. The aim: to catch Red bombers long before they reach their tar gets. These batteries would at tempt to knock down the bombers the Air Force's F-108's failed to catch over northern and central Canada. A full complement of operational Bomarcs won t be in the hands of experienced Bomarc - firing troops for somewhat over two years. Each Bomarc B missile will cost about $400 000. The entire Bo marc system, including the track ing system, the communications and computer systems and the missiles will cost a total of almost five billion dollars. And this will be for less than half of what Air Force men claim necessary to do the job. NIKE-HERCl'LER The Army's Nike - Hercules aims only at defending sel ected strategic targets in last ditch stands. Hercules' range is about 80 miles. It has a speed of 2.000 miles an hour. And probably it can hit an enemy plane at around 120.- ono feet. Like the Bomarc, it car ries a nuclear warhead. Army men say the Hercules Is essential for shooting down those Russian planes that get through the Air Force's defenses the planes that outmaneuver the Bo marcs or the 400-mile missiles with decoys and electronic "twists." Why not just add on more Bo marc batteries to do both jobs? Army men say that would cost too much. A Hprcules missile is priced at S70.000 a sixth the price of a Bomarc. The Hercules system since it will take over old Nike Ajax bases will cost only a frac (ion as much as the Bomarc sys tem, they claim. Army men also claim Hercules has a . simpler, more foolproof guidance system that "takes ad vantage of" human intelligence. Though Hercules missiles are al ready installed at 30 batteries, they're using short-range tracking and guidance systems in the main. Pentagon officials say it will be two years before the new Hercules systems are completely installed, checked out by experienced troops prepared to do a real job against Ked bombers. Rut some of the world's leading authorities feel that the general population should not get man made radiation in amounts greater than those, from natural sources. In his report, Lewis did not contend that fallout has actually caused any cancer of the thyroid among American children. And he noted that if atmospheric weap ons testing is not resumed, radio- iodine contamination from falldUt, because of its short lile, will prac tically cease to exist by the end of this year. Lewis said it has been assumed that fallout doses on the average are "well below the correspond ing doses from natural back ground sources." This may be true for most body organs, he said, but not for the thyroid glands of the average U.S. infant and child. Radio - iodine concentrates in fresh cow's milk, a major item in the diet of young people, and in the human thyroid gland. Lewis said research indicates that from the same amount of radio-iodine the average infant will get about 18 times Ihe thyroid dose that the average adult will receive. LAST DAYS niiiiitinnu - i m ARNONAUT FORMAL COUPE:-For $23,600 it Crash Hurts Crosby Girl WEST LOS ANGELES H'PI) Cathy Crosby, 20, daughter of bandleader Bob Crosby, suffered scratches early today when her Cadillac collided with another car whose driver received a possible broken wrist. ' Officers R. L. Sauter and G.C. Adams said Miss Crosby, of Bev erly Hills, explained the 12:30 a.m. p.d.t accident like this: "The car turned left in front of me to go into a driveway, I tried to stop, but I couldn't." The driver of the lighter car was identilied as Joanna Eck stein, 54. Seattle, Wash. Each wo man was alone in her car, and both cars received extensive front end damage and were towed away. Officers said Miss Crosby's car left skid marks, indicating she tried to stop. Aide Named. By Hatfield SALEM (API-David H. Camer on, employe of the Oregon Un employment Compensation Com mission 22 years, was appointed by Gov. Mark Hatfield Monday as director of the Department of Un employment. The new department was cre ated by the Legislature to replace the three-member Unemployment Compensation Commission, the change becomes effective July 1. The three commissioners still ill run the state Industrial Ac cident Commission, although Hat field is expected to ipake some change in its membership. They are Mrs. Cecilia Galey, L. O.

Hatfield said Cameron was sup ported by both labor and manage ment. Cameron, an accountant, start ed as a field man and technician for the commission. In 1939 he took over his present job. Additional Land Will Be Cleared MOUNT SHASTA John C. Watt, district forest ranger in charge of reforestation on Mt. Shasta, has announced that 30 acres of addi tional land will be cleared of brush this summer for planting young pines next spring. This area is be side the John Everitt Memorial Highway. This region was included in the pioneer planting of more than 20 years ago. Some of the early plantings proved successful, but the greatest value of that period was in learning how to handle the varied soil and climatic conditions ihere. The survival rale in the begin ning was very low in the all-over results. Today the rate is above 1)0 per cent Mt. Shasta is expect ed to be back in sustained lull production by the year 2.000.

But Luntz, president of the Ar gonaut Motor Car Corp.. of Cleve land, is out to build the fastest, lowest, safest, longest and most luxurious passenger car today. The car. the Argonaut, may be the most expensive as well. Prices start at $22,700. Tests are scheduled on the Utah flats this summer. Luntz expects the Argonaut's 00-horsepower Chrysler marine engine to pull the car smoothly to 200 m.p.h. Bodies on all but one of the seven models will be fitted in Italy, and will be of aluminum. Luntz does not seem worried about a small car trend spoiling the market for a 21-foot-p!us lux ury model. "There is a renaissance taking place in America." he rhapsodizes. "Furniture, watches, appliances are in keeping with the styling dictates of true art. There are no more hicks in the world. People appreciate the finer things." This is where the Argonaut comes into the picture, declares Luntz. -Here is a sample of what the well-heeled motorist will get for his money, if he selects an Ar gonaut: Engine: balanced, fuel and oil Air Wreckage Climb Object HAILEY. Idaho (API Ground parties planned to climb into the remote mountain country of east ern. Blaine County Tuesday to reach the wreckage of a light plane. Sheriff L. E. Outzs said the wreckage mightbe that of a plane reported missing last fall on a flight from iPocatello IA Boise. Pilot Ed Wilson. 34. Boise, and John Church, 30, Seattle, were aboard. - The burned out hulk of the plane was spotted on its nose near the top of a ridge at the head of Por cupine Creek, about 15 miles northeast of Hailey. The site was almost inaccessible and .the sheriff said H might take two days to reach the wreckage. An unidentified sheephgrder.i who first spotted the plane, told of finding two bodies in the wreck age. He reported his find to his camp foreman who in turn hiked eight miles to Little Wood River where a Bureau of Reclamation crew radioed out the news.

Optional equipment: air condi tioning, vanity, telephone, desk, secretarial and recording equip ment, refrigerated lood and bev. erage compartment. Luntz justifies the Argonaut on social as well as aesthetic grounds. "With millions of persons starving in the world, we simply can't af ford waste." says the auto maker. "The Argonaut is built to last. People would laugh at the idea of buying a home and accepting a $3,000 loss every year on their investment. But that's just what the present auto industry makes them do. They are tiring of the forced obsolescence built ioo to day's cars. "We are making no compromise with quality," insists Luntz. "If a family buys an Argonaut they will know the car could be put in stor age for 15 years, and then taken on the street without a speck of rust and driven away." Luntz says the Argonaut will be made in seven models: Sportive, Sedan, Convertible, Formal Coupe, Coupe, the Texan sports car, State Limousine and the Smoke. The Smoke is assembled entirely in Cleveland. Wind tunnel tests are under way. The gleaming chassis was given its formal debut in the city earlier this year. Many sections of the car are per sonally initialed by inspectors be fore leaving the plant. Most expensive model planned is the Slate Limousine; $27,400 plus extras and taxes. HELD OVER!
