NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Creation OF Radioactive Elements for
Treatment Announced.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 26-
Creation of dozens of new radioactive
elements and compounds for the
treatment of cancer and many other
diseases has been announced before
the National Academy of Sciences.
This development, which promises
to break the market" on radium and
make the diagnosis and treatment of
human disease easier and quicker than
ever before. was discussed yesterday
by DR.. L. A. Dubridge of the Uni
versity of Rochester and Nobel Prize
winner DR.. Ernest o. Lawrence of
the University of California.
The new substances are produced
by subjecting them to the intense
radiations of neutronS, deuterons, pro-
tons and other particles of matter
These powerful radiations are created
by the cyclotron a whirligig machine
which kicks the particles around
and around until they attain energies
of millions of volts.
I'VE are now able to make any
element radioactive by treating it with
these radiations." DR.. Lawrence said,
in an interview following his paper
describing an improved type of cyclo-
tron. This is opening up whole new
field of medical treatment, comparable
. to the discovery of X-rays and ra-
dium almost half century ago."

A.A.A. OFFICIAL CITED
IN DRUNK DRIVING
A. J. Montgomery to Appear Mon
day on Charge of Colliding and
Driving While Intoxicated.

Alexander j. Montgomery, public
relations director of the District Motor
Club of the American Automobile
Association, yesterday was ordered to
appear at hearing next Monday or
charges of driving while drunk and
colliding.
The hearing was scheduled after
conference in the Office of Assistant
Corporation Counsel Oliver Gasch at
Police Court.
According to police, Montgomery
was arrested Sunday after his car
collided with a machine parked in
front of neighbor's home. The
charges were placed against him at
the eighth precinct.
Montgomery said he drove on to his
home, at 1886 Brandywine street
NV, after striking the car because
his lip was cut by his eyeglasses in
the collision. He said he knew the
owner of the other machine and went
to his home later. He was arrested
there.

Green Denies Comment.
With the negotiating committee of
the Federation making no comment on
the actual acceptability of the C. I. o.
proposal, officials of the parent body
likewise remained silent. Acquainted
with the text of the proffer, William
Green, president of the Federation,
declined comment.
1t is expected. however, that their
counter proposal, to be submitted to-
morrow morning, will be equally ex-
treme, probably calling for complete
assimilation of certain c. l. O. unions
into A. F. L. organizations. with others
to be brought under domination of the
Federation's Executive Council.
Definitely Hopeful Signs.
Despite this difficult situation, there
are numerous definitely hopeful signs
surrounding the reconciliation efforts.
For instance, pressure from the ad-
ministration in behalf of peace is
being applied quietly by an emissary
of the Department of Labor. James F.
Dewey, one of the Cancellation Serv-
ices most effective negotiators. Mr.
Dewey is understood to have conferred
late yesterday with leaders in botn
factions.
In addition, the very progress of yes
terday's session must be considered as
gratifying to those hopeful of peace.
Spending an amicable hour and a
half yesterday morning discussing pro-
cedure, the conferees returned yester-
day afternoon to launch into some of
the actual points of difference. In this
connection, both sides requested COM
plete information on the strength and
location of their rivals in industries
organized since the split developed in
the fall of 1885.
Both parties found" they said in a
joint statement, that they needed
certain information in order to ad-
vance discussions in the conferences
and it is expected that information

the two groups scheduled tomorrow at

Other comment was offered by Joe

Lewis Aided With Draft.
The C. I. o. proposition was drafted
this morning at meeting between
John L. Lewis and the conferees for
his faction.
Its submission rather than the sub
mission of a mass of statistical data
which had been requested yesterday
by the Federation negotiators was
noted by the A. F. of L. Committee as
they left the conference room.
I'VE have received part of the infor-
nation we requested from the c. I.
o." A. F. of L. Chairman George
Harrison said. THE representatives
of the c. l. O. have agreed to furnish
further information.
On a basis of membership claimed
for the rival organizations, the C. I.
o. would have 3,718,000 members in
the Federation, under the proposed
plan, as compared with approximately
100000 workers the Federation now
claims.
This seems to us to be q case
where we would control the Fedora
ton by sheer strength of numbers"

counsel

CANCER |SFOUGHT
BY REFRIGERATION
One Case of "Hibernation"
Produced in TeStS-Pain
Declared Relieved.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

. CHICAGO, Oct 26.-A new attack
on cancer by use of refrigeration, on
the principle that the wild growth of
this disease may be curbed the same
as the growth of plants and some
animals is stunted by cold, was
announced to the American College
of Surgeons here today.
Human beings were used in all the
experiments. One case of "hiberna-
. tion" of cancer was produced. Under
refrigeration this particular cancer
has disappeared. although the patient
had been pronounced hopeless"
The refrigeration technique was
announced as "a new point of view"
by DR.. Temple Fay, professor and head
of the department of neurology and
neuro-surgery, and DR.. George c..
Henny. director of the department of
physics, Temple University School Of
Medicine, Philadelphia.
The type of cancer refrigerated is
metastaSizing carcinoma. 1t is the
kind which spreads from one part of
the body to another. 1t is one of the
most dangerous.
The report says the experiment
has not been going on long enough
to draw any conclusions as to the
ultimate result of refrigeration.
A medical milestone, the 100 per
cent recovery of II persons with strep-
tococcus meningitis. who took the sem
sstional new remedy, sulfanilamide,
was reported to the college yesterday.
Streptococcus meningitis has been
one of the "death-Sentence" diseases.
1t is the most deadly form of meningi-
tis. The IL cases, moreover, were all
complicated with mastoiditis.
They we're" said a spokesman for
the College Of Surgeons, the kind of
cases of which we say There is no
hope"

sionS to Senators.
Py the Associated Press.

Ps the Associated Press.
William Wyer, treasurer of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad, denied before
a Senate investigating committee to-
day that his method of accounting
for approximately $3,500,000 of Mis-
souri, Pacific Transportation Co. funds
constituted false reports"
In a prepared statement, Mr.. Wyer
offered the Senate Railroad Finance
Committee an explanation OF his tes-
timony last week that he had made
false reports" concerning the status
of Missouri Pacific Railroad funds
advanced to the transportation COM
pany, subsidiary of the railroad and
part of the 23,000-mile Van Swer-
ingen system.
Mr.. Wyer's statement also denied
charge of committee investigators
that the reports had been used to
make up balance sheets filed with va
rious State regulatory commissions.
In that connection, he said commit
tee Investigators had resorted to tao
tics" which Il would not care to
adopt"
Mr.. Wyer said that what he him.
self described last week as false re-
ports" were actually only inter
departmental memoranda of a cash
balance for which I would some day
account"
He said that, although the stock
purchases were not shown on the
transportation companys records. OFF,
cials of the railroad were kept in
formed" as Ito what was going on"
and mo one at all was ever deceived

Mr. Wyer declared it was neces-
sary for the late o. P. Van Sweringen
to conceal from the public his pur-
chase of the railroad securities in
order to prevent an increase in their
cost. which he believed would occur

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-02

CContinued from Page D nounced that he would introduce at the next session Q resolution propos- ing third term as "unwise and unpatrlotlc." Such O measure would give senators who voted for a similar resolution during the last term of President Coolidge a chance to re- peat their votes iil reference to Q democratic president.
 2. Senator Willard Tydlngs, dem- ocrat, Maryland, and Senator Wall ter T. George, democrat, Georgia, both of whom have opposed various administration experimental pro- posals, discounted suggestions that the president would seek Q third term. Tydings said he took mo stock whatsoever" In third-term talk. George said he did not as- sume that Mir. Roosevelt would run again.
 8. Democratic conservatives scoffed at suggestions that the president would favor Senator Robert M. La- Toilette as his successor despite Mir. Roosevelts high regard for the Wis., consin progressive.
 Mlnton Boosts McNutt
 Senator Sherman Minton, demo- crat, staunch administration sup- porter and booster of Paul V. Me- Mutt for the 1940 nomination, re- gently declared there was no basis for such suggestions. He Is 0 close friend of LaFollette.
 Holt's proposal to introduce on anti-third term resolution-similar to one already introduced by Sen- ator Arthur Vandenberg, republi- can, Michigan-promised to be ern- harraslsng not only to the demo- cratic leadership in the senate but to LaFollette, who was the author of the resolution passed during the Coolidge administration.
 T would not be surprised" Holt said, ito See Q good many democratic senators who voted for~the 1927 resolution join Senator Henry r. Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, in being inconsistent when and if my reso- lution comes to vote."
 Like One Against Grant
 When LaFollette introduced the 1927 resolution, he pointed out that 1t was exactly the same as the one approved, 2S4 to 18, by the house of representatives in 1875 when there wa stalk of 0 third term for Presi- dent Grant. The resolution declared 1t was the sense of the senate" that any departure from the tradi- ton existing since the retirement of President Washington would be "unwise, unpatriotic Q nd fraught with peril to our free institutions"
 Democrats led the debate in favor of the resolutions, although Senator William E. Borah, republican, Idaho, Senator Arthur Capper, democrat, Kansas, Senator Lynn Frazier, re- publican, North Dakota, and Senator Gerald P. Nye, republican, North Dakota, voted for 1t.

 Foreigners Warned
 Japanese army authorities warned all foreigners k avoid the borders of the International Settlement and inc French concession because, they aaid, the Japanese, starting at once, were going to smash and silence Chinese batteries near the borders
 This warning covered foreign de- fense forces, including the United States fourth marines, guarding the foreign borders.
 Admiral Koyishi Hasegawa, com- Nnanding the Japanese fleet, warned foreign warships and merchantmen Co stay clear of the battle zone un- less movements in 1t were impera- tive.
 This covered the United States cruiser, Augusta, and smaller ships, as well as warships of foreign na- tions, in the Whangpoo river.
 Japanese Are Angry
 Japanese anger was apparent. The great final offensive, that was to have knocked out the Chinese, had begged down.
 The navy requested" foreign ships not to try to use the great China merchants wharves on the ground that the Japanese needed them.
 Tn the north Japanese army head quarters ct Tientsin in Q formal proclamation threatened drastic punishment to persons engaged in espionage or other "treacherous ace tons" detrimental to the Japanese army. The proclamation added OHminously:
