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"

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.

Taxpayers See Billions
Going Down The Drain
By RAY CROMI.EY
SEA Staff Corretpondeat
WASHINGTON i.NEAi Here's
where taxpayers can see how bit
lions of dollars of their money are
going flown the dram.
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.

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.

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

In New Luxury Automobile
CLEVELAND INEA Slightly
built, dressed in a three - button
continental-style suit, Richard
Luntz seems like the last chap
around to be talking in terms of
driving 200 m.p.h. on the Utah
salt flats.
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

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.

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.
