CANCER A MENACE
 TO YOUNG PEOPLE
About 1000 Unde CT 25 Succumb Annually to
 Dreaded Disease

That cancer as a cause of death is a menace to young people as well as to old is shown by statisticianS of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company who point out that in the United States 2,000 persons under age 25 succumb to this disease an- nually, and of this number about 400 are children not yet years old. And the total of 26,000 persons under age 50 who die each year from cancer is somewhat larger than the number dying from this cause at ages 75 and over.
 Studies of mortality among the white industrial policyholders of the life insurance company show that cancer is relatively important cause of death throughout the greater part of life In this insured group, cancer ranks among the 10 leading causes of death at every age period beginning with the group 15 to 19 years, while among white males in the ages after 45 years, mortality from cancer is greater than from any other cause except diseases of the heart Among white women the disease is the leading cause of death for the 20-year pe- riod from ages 35 t, 54
 Stating that the problem of can- cer is now in the forefront Of med ical research, the statisticians de- clare:
 There is abundant evidence to show that the death toll from can- cer would be reduced if an increas- ing number of cases were treated in the incipient stages. Among the forms of cancer which present the best promise of success in this di- rection are some of those that begin to take a serious death toll at rela- lively early ages, particularly can- Ger of the uterus and of the breast. Moreover, although we are still in the dark as regards the cause cf cancer, 1t is undoubtedly true that a number of uterine cancers re- suit from the lack Of proper ob- Stetrical care during and following childbirth.
 "The cancer problem is so serious that we can not afford to neglect any of its phases, least of all those where, with the means at present at our disposal, there is promise of reaping essential gains"

BY NORMAN SIEGEL (NEA Service Radio EditOr)

New York, April 21-If Hollywood has ceased to be an important radio program center, the nations two major broadcasting chains don't know it. For both Columbia and NEG are creating new and bigger studios in the movie capital. And Columbias answer to recent rumors that the Hollywood radio gold rush has ended will be the dedication of a $1,750,000 West Coast kilocycle palace on April 30.
 It all narrows down to the fact that Hollywood isn't losing its grip on the network market and that the new studios that are going up in the heart of Hollywood are being built to meet increasing demands of broadcasting.
 The wild reports that Hollywood was at last fading from the network picture started few weeks ago when Eddie Cantor, Jack Benny, Rudy Vallee and Phil Baker all moved East with their programs at about the same time.
 Vallee and Baker have always been on the air from the East. They happened to be broadcaSting from Hollywood for few months this season, because they were making movies. So their return East was a normal move and had no bearing on the Hollywood radio situa tion. Benny went East for only one show and is now back in his sun-kissed stamping grounds. Cantor went East to start his new series and as soon as it is well under way will be back in Hollywood.
 The new Columbia radio center, which will accommodate the Il CBS network programs that originate each week from the coast, will be one of the most complete broad casting plants in the country.
 Although it is Hollywood" in every detail, it was designed by a New Yorker = William Lescaze, noted modern architect. It is white concrete building of simple, modern architecture, filling almost one entire block on the newly named Columbia Square" The building consists of four units, one of which contains a studio that will seat 1000 people.
 Three of the smaller studios in the building have walls that slant inward toward the ceiling. This is a radically new style of studio con- struction, designed to eliminate the occasional acoustical "flutter" or echo, which often comes from cer- tain sounds. Lescaze has even de- signed a new kind of control booth for the studios. The glass panel in the front is slanted at an angle to eliminate reflection, which now often prevents performers from see- ing the producer inside.
 Studio clocks are set in red lac quer panels and have bright yellow faces, so that they can easily be seen by performers and producers. The large auditorium contains a huge clock. which measures five feet, six inches in diameter, created in tribute to the importance of time in radio.

'SpoiIs System to Remain as Long as Public "Re= mains Indifferent, Dormant, Lazy' Declares
 Spokesman in Official Statement Today

The Citizens Good Government of Waterbury announced today that it plans to advocate new charter or changes in the present charter to prevent 8 recurrence of such "abuses" as the recent shake-up in the fire department.
 In a statement issued today, the association states that numerous protests against the recent fire de- pertinent changes have been received The public, says the statement, must not remain indifferent and dor mant, and must end the "spoils and patronage system"
 The statement of the Good Gov ernment association follows:
 Protests have been piling up by telephone and letter to our office regarding the high-handed action of the board of fire commission CTS in recently appointing new fremen and fire department off, cers while retiring others claimed unfit for service through age or physical inf1rmitieS. The makers of these protests have quite nat urally sought the explanation of such actions. We are frank to say that one cannot consider such an occurrence as we have witness ed without feeling enraged and en- tirely out of patience with the ac- tions of the present administra- ton.
 Voice Regret
 Unfortunately, we are regret fully forced to the conclusion that under our present charter such occurrences are legally possible and to be expected under regime of machine politics. It is but one more example of the workings of the spells system. Shall we per- init further abuses of like kind to be carried on? We say-NO.
 Many have expressed the hope that the Citizens Good Govern ment association can do some thing about such conditions which are ruthlessly imposed upon the public with no apparent consider ation for the budget or expense involved. We propose to do some thing about it. We propose to ex- anime our charter and advocate such substituted charter or such

FUTURE OF NEW
 HAVEN ROAD SAD
President Howard Palmer Not Very Enthusiastic
 on Conditions

New Haven, Conn.,, April 2l-(UP) The immediate future of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road is mot bright" President How ard Palmer reported to stockholders today.
 In a statement read at the stock holders annual meeting, Palmer said gross revenues for the first quarter of 1888 were 19 percent under those of a year ago, while expenses dropped only slightly.
 He said wage levels are seven per- cent more than the peak period of 1929 while cost of fuel and other materials were increasing tremend- ously.
 While I do not wish to appear unduly pessimiStic," Palmer said, T believce I should point out that as we see the prospects for the im- mediate future they are not bright.
 Hoped For Increase
 "The railroads hoped from an h- crease in freight rates and passenger fares, to obtain added revenue to help meet rapidly rising costs.
 You have noted in the press that the interstate commerce commission restricted the freight increase to a small percentage of what the rail- roads needed, and denied any in- crease in passenger fares.
 "The meagre increase in freight rates will not have 8 material effect upon the New Haven situation"
 He said no word had come from the ICC regarding the reorganiza- ton plan of the New Haven.
 "It is safe to assume" Palmer added, "that the present business de- pression will not in any way help to speed up the reorganization"

amendments and revisions of the present charter as will prevent such recurring abuses. The only question is:-"How long will the Waterbury public stand for such practices?"
 The Answer
 Our answer necessarily is:-
 Just so long as the Waterbury public remains indifferent and dormant and lazily refuses to stir itself in favor of any good movement toward better city gov- ernment just so long will the "spoils and patronage system" prey on us.
 We propose to commence the necessary measures. It is for you, by your continued support for our efforts, to show what you ap- prove and what you want-Good Government.
