A protest against the designation OF
Gen. Francisco Franco, leader OF the
Spanish insurgents. and his followers
as "Fascists" was voiced last night by
DR.. Joseph F. ThorAing, professor OF
sociology and social history at Mount
st. Marys College, Enmitsburg. Md.
The Spanish leader and his hosts
are nationalists, not Fascists," he said
in addressing the Washington Chap
ter of the National Federation OF Cath
olic Alumni. The Fascist" designa-
ton, the speaker said, had become
pronounced recently in newspaper
headlines.
Time and again the counter revo-
luton in Spain has repudiated the
idea Of the totalitarian state. He is
no imitator of either Mussolini or Hit
Ter. Above all, he proclaims q philos-
ophy of life and government which is
utterly at variance with the worship OF
the omnipotent state.
''Nationalism in Spain, Fascism in
Italy and Nazism in Germany have
only the most superficial resemblances.
AS one who has Travelled widely in
these three nations during recent
months. can testify that the spirit of
those Of each movement is quite diff

CANCER TREATED
WITH SEX GLANDS
Indiana Physician Reports
80 Per Cent Of Cases
Show Improvement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, February
ia treatment for cancer with q
substance obtained from sex glands,
WAS reported to a special meeting Of
the Fort Wayne Medical Society here
yesterday by Beaumont Cornell, M. D.,
supervising editor OF the American
Journal Of Digestive Diseases and Nu-
triton, and fellow Of the American
College Of Physicians.
He said the experiments have been
done in both Fort Wayne and In the
Lambeth Hospital Cancer Clinic in
London, England. He quoted letter
from Dr. George r. Stebbing. F. r. c. S.
chief of the Lambeth Cancer. Clinic,
reading:
From what I have seen Of your ex-
tracts and their effects I am con-
vinced that injections Of the sort you
have been using, here and in America,
are destined to play an important part
in the treatment Of cancer in the fu-
ture."
Obtained From Cattle.
The sex gland extracts are obtained
from cattle. In final form they are
liquids which DR.. Cornell said were
probably proteins. They are injected
intramuscularly.
The extracts. DR.. Cornell explained,
act on the opposite sex. That is, the
product from male glands is used
on women and that from female
glands on men. The extracts. he
added, have no effect If given in case
Of the same sex.
The experiments began seven
months ago. Previously DR.. Cornell
said he had experimented for 10 years
on many other tissue extracts. This
was the first to show unusual remedial
effects on cancer.
Fifty Gases Treated.
Fifty cases Of human cancer have
been treated in Fort Wayne and Lon
don. OF these DR.. Cornell reported
that about 80 per cent showed
marked regression," that is, decrease
In size. A few, he went on, especially
early cancers, have entirely disap-
peared.
Pain, he said, almost invariably has
been relieved.
In all except the early cancers, pa
tients were left with an apparently ir-
reducible remnant of the growth.
Against this remainder. said DR.. Cor
nell, the treatment has not yet proved
effective. But. he continued, in many
cases the remnant can be satisfactorily
removed by surgery or X-rays. In the
old cancers the shrinkage was report
ed as 80 to so per cent in volume.
The cancers which were affected by
the sex gland treatment did not
"metastasi7e," that Is, spread to other
parts OF the body.
Dr. Francis Carter Wood. director
of the Crocker Cancer Institute at
Columbia University, said at New
York that DR.. Cornelrs report is "in
line" with other experiments on the
effects Of proteins on cancer. Nu-
merous animal experiments of this
sort have been tried. In the protein
experiments in the medical literature
he said the cancers, after shrinking
for time, ultimately recurred.

said young Green called his next-door
ch,m. Jack Spaulding. to 60 down to
the sandpile with him, Immediately
after getting out from school that
afternoon
The boys returned to their homes
about O'Clock. After supper. police
were told. the Green boy asked young
Spaulding to 60 back to the sandpile
with him, as he wanted to see friend
who worked on a barge stationed In
the river nearby. The Spaulding boy
said he took young Green on his
bicycle to within three blocks OF the
sandpile and then returned home.
Police could find no futher trace Of
the Green boy. His friend on the
barge was away at that time and
did not know whether he arrived at
the sand pile. Police boats dragged
the river without finding . body.
A colored woman in the neighbor-
hood told police she believed the miss
ing boy was the same one she had
seen riding in an automobile later.
His classmates at the Van Ness
School. where young Green is in the
sixth grade, due to being held back
by i'll health, said he never expressed
any desire to 60 away from home.
His mother, Mrs. Ruby M. Green.
said the missing boy had no money
when he disappeared. He was dressed
in play clothes, wearing dirty long
blue trousers, blue and white shirt,
a ragged slip-on sweater and an engi-
neer's cap.

ous Proposal.
By the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 1s.-Limit-
ing the right of the courts to declare
acts of Congress or State Legislatures
unconstitutional was listed by Federal
Judge John J. Parker last night as
one of three proposals before the
American people which he said were
"fraught with grave danger to our
Federal judicial system"
The proposals he cited were ito
require the Federal courts to follow
the State practice even with respect to
the charging OF the jury" and Ito
limit the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts in cases involving diversity of
citizenship by limiting the right of
removal on the part of corporations.
Judge Parker, speaking before the
South Carolina Bar Association, said:
Unless the courts could declare acts
of State Legislatures unconstitutional,
State legislation would soon paralyze
the National Government and destroy
the Union. Unless they could declare
acts OF Congress unconstitutional,
that body would have within its power
to absorb all governmental power and
absolutely destroy the States. - ."
The North Carolina jurist said that
there Is no danger Of tyranny in the
exercise OF the courts power, because
it Is purely negative"
