WAR ON CANCER
TO Be MAPPED
At PARLEY *

Members of Washington's medi.
cal profession are looking to the
April 11-12 regional conference
here Of the American College of
Surgeons in the hope that discus
sion of cancer, slated for a domi-
mating part in the sessions, may
point the way to a more aggres-
sive program of research on the
disease here.
While there are many surgeons
here who have met success in
treatment of cancer through sur
gerry and treatments with x-ray
and radium, members of the pro-
fession point out that washington
has no institution devoted solely
to study and treatment of the
disease.
Discoveries Elsewhere
Consequently most of the i'm
portant discoveries in that field
come out of New York's Cancer
Institute, Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity at Baltimore, and similar
places.
Medical leaders from Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, West Vir-
ginia, and the District will attend
the conferences here next month
in Constitution Hall.
They will hear discussions of
claims of successful cancer treat
ments ranging from 10 to 66 per
cent. Experts will stress the need
Of early treatment of infectious
sores, Jumps and ulcerations.
Use of X-ray Urged
One of the outstanding cancer
specialists of the nation, DR..
Joseph Colt Bloodgood, of Balti-
more, probably will attend the
sessions here in April. In re-
cent pamphlet, DR.. Bloodgood
wrote:
"The x-ray is the searchlight
which pictures bone formation
and bone destruction. Every
mother should know this, and
when her child limps and COM
plains Of pain in bone or joint,
the mother should take her
child to her physician or the
diSpenSary clinic and ask them
to look at the bone with the
x.ray.
"ChiIdren should be taught
from infancy to have no fear
Of such an examination and to
have no fear Of telling parents
that they have a pain in q
bone or joint"
DR.. Bloodgood declared g. high
percentage of bone cancers have
been cured where the affliction
was brought to the doctors atten.
ton before it spread to other
parts of the body.

MRS.ROOSEVELT
TARGET IN ROW
At COLLEGE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26
U.N S).-A sharp retort by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt in Wash
ington, D. c., concerning the
University of California incident
in which Miss Martha Ijams, an
alumna, refused to greet Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins as
honorary speaker at the univer-
sity's charter day exercises, drew
an equally barbed retort today
from Miss Ijams.
Miss Ijams refused to greet
Miss Perkins, deploring the fact
that "a mere politician" should
be selected as the charter day
speaker.
Snub Denied
Dispatches from Washington
quoted the First Lady as giving
some definitions to prove Miss
Perkins was not "snubbed," and
adding, "it is rare that a kindly
person attempts to administer a
Snub."
Miss Ijams was quick in her
retort to Mrs. Roosevelt, declar-
ing sharply:
"MrS. Roosevelt would do we'll
to remember that the people
didn't elect her President. A lit
tie more retirement would be
becoming on her part. She is
presumptuOuS as usual in her
assumption as to what in
tended, or did not intend, rela-
tive to Miss Perkins.
RAPS FIRST LADY
"The obvious fact to sensible
people is that Mrs. Roosevelt is
of the obvious type Of cheap
headline seeker. / have yet to
hear of her saying anything on
any subject in which she was
manifeStly verSed.
"WaS snub intended by me?
I wasn't interested in the Per.
kinS woman. 1 was interested
in what the university was do
ing. I don't know her or care
anything about her."

PHILADEL PHIA, March 26
G.N.SO SO.-Spurred by the uncover
ing of flat seal in the ancient
mound of Tepe Gawra in far-off
MeSopotamia, archeologists today
are reported to be close to the dis
covery of the worlds first brew
cry, perhaps 5000 years old.
The seal, dug up by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum
and American School of Oriental
Research contemplation, shows
two men stirring the contents Of
a vat with long poles.
Charles Bache, expedition direc-
tor, in a letter received at the
University of Pennsylvania Mu-
scum here, points out that "flat
seals were used to identify prop
erty and carried the monograms
of their owners"
Near the hoary mound of Tepe
Gawra lay the ruins Of 20 worlds
oldest" cities, piled one on the
other, tracing the story of man
back to neolithic times.

EDUCATION PLIGHT TOLD

Advocating the establishment of

the next few years.

Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control
Board has decided not to go into
the distilling business, it was an

The act creating the board
authorized it to engage in the
manufacturing of ardent spirits
if it saw fit.
Before reaching its decision,
members of the board visited the
leading distilleries in the State.
They came to the conclusion that
they could not operate distillery
at profit without pushing its
brands by advertising and without
going outside the State both for
a market and for some of the
necessary raw materials.

FARMERS FAIL
To OVERCOME
AAA FOES
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

international NB"B ScENACS
The farmers invasion of the
Capital had come and gone today
without denting the stubborn b.
partisan opposition in the Senate
to any extension of the AAA's
present powers.
Although some 5000 farmers
came here from 80 States cheered
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
praised his relief program. ap-
plauded processing taxes and rec
commended continued farm bene-
fits, their demonstration failed to
impress opponents of the AAA.
A strong bipartisan group in the
Senate will fight every inch Of
the way to prevent enactment OF
the Administrators pending bill
to give the AAA broader powers.
Licensing Powers
The measure, which Admins
tration leaders will call up in
the Senate next week, would give
the AAA power to license every
person handling foodstuffs. from
the producer down to the re-
taller. This power would be in
voked in relation to any par
ticular product, however, only
when two-thiSds of the producers
of that commodity voted to go
under the AAA.
Senator Byrd CD of Virginia,
and Hastings (RD of Delaware,
are expected to lead the Senate
opposition. Both have assailed
the present AAA organization as
"Sovietizing" American agricul-
ture.
The Administration, meanwhile
defeated an effort by Senator
Hastings to prove that the farm
ers' invasion had been engineered
and financed by Government
farm relief funds. In a letter to
Senator Robinson CD of Arkan-
sas, AAA Administrator Davis re-
ported:
"The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration has not Spon-
sored nor financed, nor permit
ted its agents to sponsor, nor
permitted county production
control association funds to be
used to finance the farmers
visit to Washington. On the
other hand, the Adjustment Ad-
ministration has never denied
the right of farmers to visit their
capital, has not attempted to
discourage them from doing so
and upon their arrival in Wash
ington welcomed them and
rendered to them assistance re-
quested by them when we could
give it."
In addition, Mr.. Davis sent Sen
ator Robinson copies of all AAA
correspondence on the subject.
This showed the AAA officials had
warned their county agents not to
encourage the trek nor to finance
it from Government funds.

To the Editor Of The Times:
I do not believe that the 78-year.

the Maxwell case. OF course. it is
not necessary for me to mention
the greatness of Darrow as a
criminal lawyer, but I sincerely
