Received With Caution

Reports from Washington that
two New York doctors have sue
ceeded in producing an unmis
taxable case of cancer in guinea
pig by injecting a micro organism or
germ from a human body were re-
ceived cautiously by local physicians
today.
DR.. William F. Kennedy frankly
was skeptical about the experiment.
He cited the fact that the report
stated that the test had been Sue
cesSful on only one animal
Il can not see now" said DR..
Kennedy where such an expert
ment will help us much in the flu
ture. DR.. Maud Schley of Chicago
has performed about 100000 similar
experiments on rats. She has bred
cancer in and out of thousands of
families of rodents. Her work is a
miracle of the laboratory. but still
we are no further in our knowledge
of cancer.
However I will be the first to
commend the experiment should it
prove feasible in helping us to blaze
the way to ultimate solution of the
battling problems Of cancer

City Physicians Cautious
in Cancer Find Comment

Dr. Thurman B. Rice, professor of
bacteriology at the Indiana univer-
sity School of Medicine, declared
that he did not believe cancer was
due to bacteria.
Discoveries similar to the Glover
Engle experiment have been
limited at many times" he said "A
great many people are under the
impression that cancer is infec-
tious 1 want to tell them not to
be alarmed There is no case on
record where cancer was caused by
Infection"
DR. Walter Kelly of Irvington ex-
pressed a similar opinion. He said
that he would not accept the theory
until he had seen it printed in the
Medical Journal.
TOO many similar experiments
have been brought forward recent
ly and proved worthless to physi-
clans striving to find a practical
cure" he said.
Ii w u. NfdUNll 1ttClNCQ llCWS VI
the new discovery cautiously.
Fifty or a hundred such reports
come out every year, and none of
them has been helpful thus far, -
DR.. Catch said. IF it is true that a
cancer germ actually has been in
jected into guinea pig, producing
unmistakable cancer, it is of the
utmost Importance. But let us wait
for more details.
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city
health board secretary. said he also
had heard similar stories of cancer
discoveries in the past
In the past, cancer has not beer
regarded as transmissible malady
If the Glover Engle experiment in
dictates that the disease is trans
missible to animals other than the
Schley' rats. it is, of course, some
thing entirely new" DR.. Morgan
said.

CIVIC CLUBS To
ASK CUTS IN
UTILITY RATES
Federation Votes to Urqe
Companies to Lower
Charges.

Voluntary rate reduction will be
asked of the light, water, gas and
telephone companies as result Of
action taken by the indianapolis
Federation Of Community Civic
Clubs Friday night.
After lengthy debate, the fedora
ton voted to prepare petitions to be
submitted to the companies.
Strenuous objection to including
the Citizens Gas Company in the
list of companies to be asked to
reduce rates was presented by John
F. White.
He explained the city's right to
acquire the gas company has been
upheld by the United States SUI
preme court, adding that to force
it to reduce rates would be de
stroying part of your own proper
ty."
Petitions to Be Submitted
Paul c. Wetter. former municipal
judge, said he believed the gas COM
pany is losing money.
However, I signed petition for
reduction of telephone rates re-
Gently Wetter said. and that
company also says it is losing money
so it is just as fair to reduce the
gas Company's rates as those of
other utility companies.
White asserted utility rate reduce
ton cases should be instituted under
the new public service commission
so the public would have the adj
vantage given it under the new laws
passed by the legislature.
The petitions to be submitted to
utility companies will ask that
rates be reduced to conform to re-
auctions in cost of labor, materials
and commodity prices.
Wetter Named President
Wetter was elected president OF
the federation. Other officers elected
included Mrs. Robert Dennis, first
vice president; H. G. LieSke, second
vice-president, and Mrs. B. B. Nc
Donald, reelected secretary.
The federation adopted A petit
ton commencing indianapolis pub
lie school teachers for their unset
fish attitude in offering to serve
without pay, if necessary, to COM
plete the school term.
