LEGISLATION FOR
RADIUN IS URGED
Pinchot CriticizeS Congress
for Delay on Pend
ing Bill

WASHINGTON, March 25-Gifford
Pinchot, president of the National
Conservation Association, issued a
statement yesterday appealing to
Congress to pass legislation for Gov
ernment conservation of the radium
ore in America to be used in combat
ing cancer. He characterized the tar
diness of Congress in taking up this
legislation as brutal callousness of
the men in Congress and out, who, by
delaying the BILL have delayed relief
to an army of cancer sufferers for
the sole purpose of extracting an ex-
orbitant profit from their necessities.
which makes even the offense of the
food pOisoners look mild and small "
Mr.. Pinchot declared that the loss
already to the Government and the
profit TO the radium land grabbers
has reached S1.50O.00O
More than two months have
elapsed since a joint resolution was
introduced in Congress to reserve to
the people of the United States the
radium-bearing ores on the public
lands" said Mr.. Pinchot During
these two months Of needless and in
excusable delay not less than 500 ad-
ditional claims have been located by
private persons.
AT present at least half Of our
radium goes abroad Our government
hospitals need 80 grams of radium at
once, while two grams is all we
have in the United States today.
"The Senate amendments = to the
radium bill are simply infamous.
They make IL a weasel bill, which
withdraws from the people the bene-
fits it pretends to give. and It does so
in the interest and at the behest Of
men who are preventing the relief OF
human misery in order to make
money out of IT,"

scheduled the hearing on the slander
suit brought against the former sheriff
of Somerset county. John A. Mooers,
by Mayor William r. Pattangall of
Waterville, former attorney general of
Maine.
Former State Senator George w.
Heselton of Gardiner will act as coun-
sci for the plaintiff while Hon. Fred
F. Lawrence of Skowhegan, private
secretary to Governor Haines, appears
for the defendant
The defendant is alleged to have
made remarks during the Congression-
al campaign which the plaintiff claims
were injurious to his character and
reputation, in other words, that he
was to work for the labor organiza-
tions of the State in the lobby for the
Maine Federation of Labor in assist
ing to have the so-called workmen
compensation act become law, and
that instead of working for the State
Federation of Labor. he was employed
by the manufacturers who opposed the
bill. The ad damnum is placed at
$4,000 and the writ which was drawn
in the law office of Pattangall & Plum
stead at Waterville was returnable at
