kazis Bomb Non-Mi|itary
Detectives, Dutch Charge

The Netherlands Legation here
made public today charges that Ger
man planes have bombed non-mili-
tary objectives in German-held Hol-
land and that from the German
controlled radio station in Holland
the news has been broadcast that
the bombings are the work of the
English Royal Air Force.
The charge was cabled to Minister
Loudon by E. N. van Kleffens, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs of the Dutch
government in London. He said the
purpose of the bombingS and the
broadcasts was 'to create civilian
hatred of the British" in the oc-
Cupied Netherlands.
"The German-controlled Neither
lands radio" the cable said, has
received so many letters from in
dignant Dutchmen, pointing that
they have seen swastikas on the
planes which bombed residential dis
tricts, that the commentator has been
forced to answer what he called
these allegations

Explosion of Atoms Kills
Cancer Cells, Doctors Report

They had no effect on the cancer
tissue. but when they were bonn
barded with neutrons from Colum-
bias giant cyclotron, or atom
smasher, they performed the odd
feat of capturing" the slow moving
neutrons and giving a recoil kick
which penetrated the cancer cells
and exploded them.
X-ray treatment of cancer, the
scientists explained, is limited by
the area directly affected andt he toll
erance of the skin or surrounding
tissues to the burning of X-ray ir-
radiation. However, with the COM
bination of neutrons and lithium
or boron no such limitation exists.
The neutrons in themselves are ap-
parently not harmful, but when
they explode the atoms, the result
ing bomb fragments tear through
the cancer cells and kill them.
This method Of treatment has not
been used on human beings for the
control of cancer 1t is one of the
results of pure research on the be-
havior of atomic particles which
may eventually result in applica-
ton to medical science.

Cudahy Says Republicans
Wage Fear CAMPAIGN
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-John
Cudahy, Ambassador to Belgium,
charges Republicans with waging a
fear campaign" in an attempt to
elect Wendell L. Willkie President.
In an address to more than $50
members of the Women's National
Democratic Club yesterday, Mr..
Cudahy said he was convinced from
his experiences abroad, where he
witnessed the invasion of Belgium,
Holland and France, that "this is
no time for a change of administra-
tions."
"All through this administration
the President and Secretary of State
Cordell Hull have been working day
and night studying the record to
keep peace" Mr.. Cudahy said. And
yet we see this strange spectacle
of a Republican candidate subscrib-
ing to all our policies and yet say
ing that he will preserve peace and
we (the Democrats) will lead the
country into war"
Secretary of Labor Perkins, who
also addressed the club, described
as "intemperate, inaccurate, ridicu-
lous and irresponsible" any state
ments that the Presidents re-elec-
ton would result in the destruction
of democracy.

to stir up the capsules.
BY STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH,
Associated press Science Writer

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ga new
method of destroying cancer cells by
exploding them with particles Of
atoms was described today in dis
cussions at the opening meeting of
the National Academy Of Sciences.
Three research workers Of Co.
lumbia University, New York, de-
scribed in the academy's official
jonrnal how they had achieved up to
a so per cent death of cancer
growths by first injecting lithium
and boron, two harmless chemicals,
in and around the cells and then
bombarding them with neutrons,
atomic particles which have no elec-
trio charge.
The effect is somewhat like that
Of shooting at the fuse of a bomb,
DR.. Paul A. zahl, DR.. Franklin S.
Cooper and DR.. John r. Dunning
indicated.
The lithium or boron was injected
into the diseased area of rats in
which cancer tissue had been trans
planted. after growth of the cancer
was well under way.

reached the captain in mid-Atlantic.
Immediately, he turned and ran for
the nearest French port at Mar
Unique where he met the Emile
Bertin and the auxiliary cruisers.
British ships blockaded the harbor.
This annoyed the American Govern
ment. The Monroe Doctrine and
sacrosanct tradition oppose our al
lowing any sort of European fight
to spread to home waters like the
Caribbean. We helped arrange a
compromise; the planes were put
ashore, the guns of the fleet (sup-
posedly) were render temporarily
useless, and the British withdrew.
Under u. S. Surveillance.
Today, Martinique is under Amer
ican surveillance. But so long as
Admiral Robert sticks to his side of
the bargain, why should any one
interfere? The British would like
the planes and a Canadian expendi-
tionary force could, of course, seize
Martinique without too much loss.
The United States would like to
repurchased the planes. But the
Petain government says no, because
the Germans in Berlin say no.
Admiral Robert obeys Petain. Neither
the British nor the Americans wish
to undertake hostilities against the
Petain government So there the
planes are and there they are likely
to stay until the end of the war
unless the French at Vichy show
signs of allowing Martinique and
Guadeloupe to pass into German
hands, in which case both islands
would doubtless be protected" by
the American fleet.
Lack Proper Food.
Conceivably, this new way might
be starving Martinique into submis-
sion. The natives produce nothing
but sugar and sugar-distilled rum.
They lack proper food. Unless they
sell their sugar they cannot buy
food. Their funds in the United
States have been frozen. Britain
controls the sea.
Recently. the British allowed two
rIeiICil lTelSHuerS 1ull OF sugar 10
proceed toward Casablanca in Nor
occo and, presumably, the same
ships may be allowed to return with
foodstuffs for the folks in Martin
ique. But two shiploads are not
much for an entire population.
Sooner or later, 1t is felt, the people
OF Martinique. including the stub
born French admiral, may offer to
exchange the airplanes against the
certainty that Martinique will be
fed.
They mayor again, they may
not.
After all, the Martinique planes
are not really of the latest model.

Planes al Martinique
To Remain Because
They Are vichy's
Story Croft Are Allowed
To Rust Is Called
Purest PersifIoge
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.

OF all the tempests in teapot,
the one periodically brewing over
the French island Of Martinique Is
the most curious Aside from the
terrific eruption of volcanic Mount
Pelee years ago, most Americans
had never much more than heard
of Martinique (or its nearby French
neighbor, Guadeloupe) until last
June.
They should have; the islands
real claim to lasting fame is that
1t produces what connoisseurs call
the best rum in the world. Besides
the lasting virtue of the rum, the
immediate value of the 100, not
quite so modern, airplanes, piled up
on the hills so near the capital,
Fort de France, is small. Yet stories
continue to fill American newspaper
columns about real or imaginary
designs that this or that entity may
have on the island of Martinique.
The reason, probably, is those air.
planes. Today, in the United States,
an airplane has become as much
an object of desire as the black
tulips described by Dumas in 17th
century tuhp-mad Holland.
Belong to Petain France.
There are 10 demands for every
airplane created, or about to be
created. in this country. There, in
Martinique, are more than 100 air
planes. Question: Why are they
allowed to stay there, rusting under
the rain?"
Well, there is only one reason;
they belong to France. Which
France? Petain France, not De
Gaulle France. The commanding
admiral at Port de France has de-
cided for Vichy and the airplanes
are in his possession.
Incidentally, the story that the
precious airplanes' are being al
lowed to rust in the rain is the
purest persifage. The planes are
standing out in the open-just as
lllc pldllcS VI lllc SclIll GIL 1OICC
and the British air force, and nearly
all the forces that are actually
fighting. But the motors and cock
pits are under tarpaulins and every
thing is beautifully oiled. Guarding
them is the naval force of Admiral
Robert, gentleman who does not
at all like the Germans but who
never did care much for the British.
The governor Of Martinique is dis
tinctly De Gaulle-ish. But the
governor of Guadeloupe is for Petain
and neutrality.
Roberts Modern Fleet.
Neither governor has much to
say compared with the cannon of
Admiral Roberts fleet. This fleet
consists of the very modern aircraft
carrier Bearn, the modern cruiser
Emile Bertin and Ave armed mer-
chantmen, all fast and reasonably
powerful.

make, however, was that German
warplanes do not bear swastikas, but
black iron crosses. This extremely
feeble reply has not satisfied the
Dutch. There have been ample oc-
casions in Britain for us to view
German planes which have been
shot down and they all bear the
swastika."

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Stoeks
tried rallying sortie in todays
market but most were unable to
hold ground gained in an early
push.
Recoveries of fractions to around
points were posted for favored
steels, motors and specialtIes in the
first shour when activity was the
best of the day. Both volume and
prices began to fade after midday
and at the close advances for many
issues were all but erased. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares.
Brokerage opinion was that. the
news had little to do with the
initial furry which pulled the list
out of the rut in which 1t had
been 1oundering all week. Technical
influences, 1t was explained, pro-.
vided the main stimulant. The
fact volume yesterday dried up
to the second smallest in ~ years
led some speculative forces to con-
clude lack of offerings meant, q
sold-out condition which could re-
suit IN at least temporary come
back.
At the same time, considerable
buying timidity apparently per-
sisted because of fears regarding
an imminent invasion of England
by the Nazis. In addition custom
ers still showed disposition to step
carefully pending further clarifica-
ton of the national tax program
and more light on business and
political trends.
