King Goes On Trial
Negro leader Martin Luther
King Jr., who kicked off the rac
ial demonstrations here April 3.
went on trial Monday with 52
other Negroes arrested in a pro
test march last Friday. But de
fense attorneys asked that the
trial be moved to federal court on
the ground hal King would not
get a fair trial in city court.
King was returned to jail pend
ing federal court action on the
motion.
King's wife said in Atlanta Mon
day night that President Kennedy
had assured "me of my husband s
safety." Mrs. King said she tele
phoned the President after she
had not heard from King since
his arrest.

Cancer Said Leading Killer Of School Children
"They must have radar vision
What is the leading cause of
death from disease among school
children?
Few people are aware that the
leading killer is cancer.
The statistics notwithstanding,
the American Cancer Society be
lieves that greater education
among parents and broader appli
cation by physicians of knowledge
now possessed could cut down
the growing number of deaths
from cancer in children. M r s.
John Dickinson, publicity chair
man of the local chapter of the
American Cancer Society, report
ed Monday.
April has been designated as
the' month when the American
Cancer Society will receive dona
tions for its annual nationwide
fund drive.
The American Cancer Society
reports that last year some 4,700
children under the age of 13
died of cancer.
"From 1934 to 1959. deaths
from cancer in children increased
from 5.2 (or each 100.000 popu
lation to 8 1," the ACS reported.
The increase is due in part to
the survival of mapy children
who might have died from some
other disease, such as diphtheria
or smallpox, not so long ago. A
number of children's diseases.
other than cancer, have been con
trolled. But some 4.800 children will
die of cancer in 1963, if death
rates follow present trends.
The ACS pointed out that one
of the problems of dealing with
cancer in children is the "un
happy fact that too many child
hood tumors are treated too
late."
An increasing number of 5, 10
and 20-year and even lifetime
survivals show that treatment
when started early can often ex
tend one's longevity.
Can the survival rate be in
creased?
The ACS says it can.
Education can help. A great
many parents are no longer Ig
norant of the fact that children
as well as adults mav have can
cer. "But too often todav we
hear, the remark 'I did not know
my child could have cancer.' If
more parents realized that chil
dren mav have cancer, just as
adults do, and acted promptly
in seeking medical advice more
children could be saved.
The ACS said that improved
techniques in radiology and sur
gery "ofler a child with cancer
new opportunities tor survival and
possible cure."

Progressive
?Tax Studied
SALEM (UPD A progressive
. rate structure w ith a top rate of
six per cent, designed to raise
about S3 million, was proposed
today by a subcommittee of the
i House Tax Committee.
The committee already has
adopted an overall program call-'
jng for a flat rate on all earned
w income above $500. Oregon's pi es
l ent top rate is 9.5 per cent.
The subcommittee also recom
i mended that the one per cent net
-receipts tax apply to the first
"l JI6.0O0 of income, instead of the
; first $15,000 as originally proposed
"i by the full committee.
Another subcommittee recom
'Emendation was a $22 tax credit,
' instead of the $20 recommended
.by the full committee. This would
replace the present $600 personal
and dependency cNcmption.
The subcommittee proposed
I rates w hich w ould range from one
per cent on income up to $500. to
6 per cent on all income over
$14,000.

forming tissues, is the most criti
cal cancer problem among chil
dren, according to the ACS. In
1963, it will cause about 2.300
deaths among children 1 to 14.
"But there is hope," the ACS
said.
"Newly developed drugs make
it possible to extend the lives of
many leukemia patients from
mouths to years of useful life.
There is growing evidence that
viruses are a possible caue of
leukemia. If this is proved, then
a vaccine may be developed."
The American Cancer Society
is the leading voluntary health
agency fighting leukemia and oth
er childhood cancers. Urging the
public to support the society's
crusade, it states, "There can be
no slackening of effort now. The
more funds that are made avail
able, the sooner the problem of
cancer in children will be solved."
