One job was in store for him
and it looked like a race against

finally put into shape Thursday, if

Word from Washington was
that the bill was being airmailed

CANCER CENTER
PROPOSED HERE
BY MAVERICK

Establishment Of National
Cancer Center in the Capital was
asked in Congress by Representa-
tive Maury Maverick of Texas,
yesterday.
To wage relentless war against
the most dreaded malady Of the
Twentieth century-the disease
which stands second in the list of
death causes in this country-Rep-
resentative Maverick proposed an
immediate appropriation of $2,4Oo,.
900.
Million Dollars Yearly
This sum would be expended by
the Public Health Service to es-
tablish the center. Each year
thereafter, the bill Stipulates, a
million-dollar grant would be 2eed-
ed to finance the Center.
The Center would be for re-
search in causes and prevention Of
the disease. as we'll as for study OF
methods and treatment of cancer,
he stated.
Any part of the money could be
expended in the District of Column
bia or elsewhere, the bill states.
But last night its author declared:
washington is the place for
this center"
Bill Widely Backed
Claiming the backing Of lead
ing cancer specialists and sclen-
lists. as we'll as Government Of
ficials, Representative Maverick
added:
1--WE hope to have hospital
as well as a laboratory"
Maverick hopes hearings will be
begun within two weeks by the
House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, to which
the bill was referred.
Once they begin, he indicated
last night, he will be free to dis
close a large number Of organiza-
lions which will publicly support
the movement for establishment
of the center.
Laboratory Hospital
Maverick declared, however, he
introduced the bill on his own
initiative after consultation with
leading cancer authorities OF the
nation.
Discussing his bill last night, he
stated:
ut is my hope a hospital may
be established in Washington to
which the 100 cancer cases from
time to time could be transferred
from all parts of the country.
"The hospital would be lab
OratOry, with these patients, COM
ing through the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps and the Civil Serv-
ice, helping science to find the
cause and cure of this horrible
malady."
TRAINING PROVIDED
Twenty officers of the Public
Health Service would be chosen
Immediately to found the center,
and would be charged with the
duty of projecting research and
studies, of collecting studies made
in all parts of the country or else
where in the world.
The center would cooperate with
the District Health Department
and with all State health boards
and would be empowered to make
financial loans to State univer'
sites as we'll as individuals to
carry on meritorious cancer re
search. the bill nrnvides

COUNTY SCHOOL
PROGRAM URGED

ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. IA.
Early action by the board Of Mont
gomery County Commissioners to
provide funds for the proposed
school expansion program was
urged today by Mrs. Daniel C.
Walser, chairman Of the county
board of education.
In letter to the commissioners,
Mrs. Walser pointed out that while
the past session Of the General
Assembly had authorized county
officials to issue approximately
$724,000 in county bonds for con-
struction Of additional school IA
cilities, no action had been taken
to date. She added:
"If any of the schools ad-
vocated in the enlargement pro-
gram are to be ready for oc-
cupancy by next September,
steps should be taken to sell
the bonds and provide the
funds"
A suggestion that the commits
sioners and the board Of educa-
ton meet at an early date to
consider action on the question
was taken under advisement.

1t Is more dangerous than any
other drug in the world because
it can be grown right in your
own back yard-dried, beaten
and rolled without expense. That
makes it available to anyone.
Its victims almost always be-
come insane. During the pc
riod the smoker is under the in
fluence of this devilish plant,
he has no sense Of balance or
the conventions. Drea dful
crimes have been committed
and young children turned into
dangerous, murderous criminals.
Maniacal and homicidal fury is
a common effect, although GER
tain races and types react diff
ferently.
CHILDREN USE DOPE
Statistics showing the number
of grade and high school chill
dren who have been introduced
to these cigarettes are beyond
all belief. Wise heads believe it
is our country's greatest evil
among the young. One diff
Guilty in wiping it out Is that
parents are unable to believe it
is used so commonly. Thousands
of young girls have been intro
duced to smoking marijuana in

lief, for these youngsters COM

DENVER, Colo, October IA
G.N.SJ.-China will be defeated
in her undeclared war with Japan
by the superior air force Of her
opponents.
That is the opinion of Major
Floyd N. Shumaker, of Denver,
one-time chief-of-Staff Of the Chi
nese air corps, now retired.
Major Shumaker knows the per-
sonnel, the equipment and the
conditions tn at face china
through personal observations in
two years of air service for the
Chinese government. He said that
China today is about used up"
so far as her air force is concerned
and that it is too late to replenish
the rapidly diminishing supply Of
planes.
Shumaker said he was the
personal pilot of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek. present Chinese
leader. In his service with the gov.
ernment he directed bombardment
OF Roman and the destruction Of
railway bridges across the Yellow
River in one Of the Chinese up-
risings.
China began too late, in 1929,
70 build an effective air force,
Major Shumaker said, but she has
since been Americas best custo-
mer for air equipment, purchasing
more than 20 million dollars worth
of planes.
Shumaker believes the burning
tervor of the Chinese and their
leaders in their war with japan
Is futile and that they eventually
will be crushed by the overwhelnl-
ing modern equipment of the Nip.

GOODS OF GOOD
POSTURE ESCAPE
POSING IN NUDE
Protests Cause School
To Modify Rule

DETROIT, Oct. IA G.N.SJ
Wayne University today planned
to modify its health program Of
photographing goods in the nude
If it Is apparent that a girl has
q correct posture and fine body,
she will not have to strip for the
camera. Only those girls who need
corrective treatment will be a1ked
to stand nude before the photog-
raphers.
It also was stipulated that only
women photographers will be used,
and that any conscientious OBJ
jectorS" among the goods will be
excused from posing.
HEED OBJECTIONS
This was the decision of the
board of education today after it
studied objection of parents of
some girls who had posed in the
nude at the school as part Of
health examinations.
The report adopted by the board
said:
I'VE shall conduct an investi-
cation into the procedure Of =
other universities which have
the same system of correcting
posture of women students. The
committee has in mind a modi-
fled program which will COM
bine all the advantages of the
present system and have none
Of the disadvantages"
Frank A. Gormon, member of
the board, explained the modified
program would decrease the num-
Der Of nude photographs taken"
TAKE TOO MANY
IT feel that it is quite unneces-
Sary to include those women
whose posture is good" he
added.
Mrs. Laura Osborn, only woman
member of the board, said:
II realize there is real need
for posture improvement among
our young women. but I agree
that perhaps we do not need
quite so many photographs"
Under the present system, all
freshmen goods are photographed
in the nude, with the pictures
made part Of their health record.
However, they wear masks over
their faces and the time they
stand nude before the camera is
only five seconds by the stop
watch.

the day when we find a drug
that has all the beneficial prop

purpose of listening to the first

against this insidious cigarette
