MAKING HEADWAY
in CANCER FIGHT
MUCH ASSISTANCE IS NOW
BEING OFFERED IN =
CAMPAIGN sc

Medical men directing the
fight against cancer have been
surprised at the amount and kind
of assistance the Women's Field
Army has brought to the front,
according to information re-
ceived at headquarters of the
Women's Field Army in Key
West.
This is apparent from remarks
made when the American Society
for the Control of Cancer award
ed its distinguished service
medals to four leaders in the
women's army.
New mental capital to advance
the fight on Cancer is being ac-
cumulated as a result of the en-
liStment of the women, and this
capital should have some results
in material contributions to help
finance and carry on the war, ac-
cording to DR.. Bowman c. Gro
well, associate director of the
American College of Surgeons.
The women In the Field
Army, like the rest of us" said
Dr. Crowell ARE thinking now in
concrete terms provisions of fell
lowShipS for advanced study for
physicians; endowments for re-
search. experimental and clint
cal; establishments of cancer
clinics. cancer control legislation;
cancertariums. similar to plane
tariums, on which instructions on
cancer can be given to laymen;
courses on cancer to teachers and
ministers, coordination of re-
search, research Institutes and
institutes of biology of human
cancer.

Current Comments Written From 4 Washington

The word Washington" which holds it's accustomed place at the head of the column, is something of a misnomer this week, since the copy is being pre- pared in Vancouver, British Col urnbia. a young city, as cities go, having been on the map but 54 years During that time, it has assembled population of 300, ,000 yet it remains a city of contrasts. One can get a moderately priced room in a ten million dollars ho- tel. In the foreground, from the tourists window, can be seen the changing traffic signals that be- speak the hustle of an up to date metropolis. A little more remote, but clearly visible, are the log booms. saw mills and sawdust burners of the still-continuing lumber days. Behind all, rise the eternal mountains, still crested with a portion of the winters S snow, and accessible in most in stances only a foot, or by pack animal and trail. Moving in the shadow of these heights is a wat CT -c carried commerce that streams away to every port of the seven seas.
 There is talk here of the de pression," the ingenuity of the tax collector is in evidence. and upon the whole, the dividing line between Canada and the United States does not seem to run be- tween national troubles and prob lens that are essentially differ ent. To those accustomed to the Washington vehicular snarl, in which fender contends with fend CT, and bumper smites bumper, British Columbian traffic seems mild, and driving circumspect and considerate; yet the conserv alive Canadian brethren are not satisfied and are in the midst of a safety-frst campaign to better conditions that on our side of

The course that Administration plans have to travel, like the course of true love, seldom runs absolutely smooth, as Presidents Republican and Democratic can testify. MT. Roosevelt, therefore, did not find himself in an un- known predicament when the Senate foreign relations commit tee voted to put aside until the next session, consideration of the neutrality bill: yet it was a set back for the White House never theless. Congress sometimes has raised its foot with good grace, after having set it firmly down. Again, the foot has remained where it was planted in the first place, a good example of abiding by an original planting being the payment of the veterans bonus. The President is represented as
 intending to go right ahead with the neutrality fight. Some of his generals would discharge the committee and battle out the is- sue on the open floor. With an adJournment-minded Congress on the one hand and an Admin istration eagerly pressing for ac ton and not particularly con- cerned about adjournment, on the other, there are side issues which, of themselves, and inde- pendent of the merits, are suffic- lent to give pep, to say nothing of downright bitterness to the doings of concluding portion of the session. According to com mon report, Congress has ear marked enough labor of the must" variety to satisfy even those who think that the body on Capitol Hill draws its pay and glves little in return.

DOCTOR MAYO PASSES AWAY IN ROCHESTER
Last of F a nous Trio of Medical World Dies of
 Ai|ment He Treated

ROCHESTER, Minn., July 28.- White haired Dr. William J. Mayo, son of country doctor who trained him to become one of medical his- tory's greatest surgeons, died today from an ailment upon treatment of which he gained much of his fame. He was 78 years of age on June 29.
 Dr. Mayo was stricken with a subactute perforating gastric ulcer. He was operated upon last May at the famed Mayo Clinic, founded by his father, his late brother, Dr. Charles Mayo, and himself, more than half a century ago.
 His death removed within short space of few months the last of the famous trio of the medical world.
 Sister Mary Joseph, who stood across the operating table from him for a quarter of a century, died March 21. His brother died in Chi cago May 27.

PRESIDENTIAL POWER

For six years prior to the present Congress, the majority party over whelmingly out-numbered the min ority. In many instances the party in power rode roughshod over the minority, ignoring their suggestions and their criticisms. The result was the enactment of hodge-podge leg islation, much of 1t unwise, more of it defective and some of it un- constitutional.
 The result also was the delega- tion of authority to the Chief Exec utive on such a scale that many persons have become gravely con- cerned oyer the consequences of placing so much power in one mans hands. Even the Chief Ex- ecutive himself has conceded that his party in this period built up new instruments of public power which in the hands of the wrong men would provide shackles for the liberties of the people"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-07-28

On the minority party falls the duty of pointing out those occasions when the party in power fails to achieve those objectives, and of proposing constructive alternatives of action.
 Such is the function of our two party system. The purpose of the two-party system in America is to make government the servant of all the people and thus promote the general welfare of the entire country, including all groups and all classes. When the two-party sys- tenn functions properly-as it has during the last six months in Wash- ington-the best interests of the country are served.
 The Republicans in the present session of Congress have made distinct contribution to wise gov- ernment and to the welfare of the country. They have. been able to do so because at last years election their numbers were sufficiently in- creased, especially in the House of Representatives, to make them an effective minority party and thus able to perform their normal func- tion of acting as a check on hasty ill-considered or unwise legislative action.

HATCH BILL FAVORED BY
 ROOSEVELT
President Will Study New Measure, However,
 Before Signing

WASHINGTON. July 28.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today declared he is absolutely in favor of the ob- jectives of the Hatch bill which will prohibit "pernicious" political acti- vities.
 The President made this remark at today's conference with newsmen but added that there is real prob lem involved in the measure, which is now at the White House, await ing Presidential action.
 The President said the problem is what can people legitimately do under the very broad language of the measure, citing for instance, that the bill might be interpreted to forbid person to attend poli- tical rally or voluntarily contribute to campaign expenses of a friend.
 The President said he will take with him on his weekend fishing trip a lot of documentary evidence on the Hatch bill.
