Successful Remedy
For Acute Leukemia
Cases Reported
Doctor Says Treatment
Seems to Change Acute
To Chronic Form

By Staff Correspondent of The Star.
CHICAGO, April l6-Victims Of
acute leukemia, the rapidly acting
cancer of the blood" which in the
past has almost invariably proved
fatal in two or three months, ap-
parently are being treated success
fully by injections of radioactive
phosphorus in the blood stream.
The first public report of the new
treatment was made before the
American Society for the Study of
Cancer here yesterday by DR.. Shields
Warren of the New England Dea-
coness Hospital of Boston.
One man is alive and appears to
be doing well at the end of year.
Five others have survived for from
four to six months. Five have died
but three were so close to death
when the phosphorus was first ad-
ministered that no hope was held
out to them.
Treatment Not = Cure.
The treatment, DR.. Warren
stressed, is not a cure" 1t arrests
the disease, possibly indefinitely.
But the remedy must be admin
istered constantly, although in less
and less frequent does. This, it is
assumed, must be continued as long
as victim lives.
There are two recognized types of
this dreaded disease, DR.. Warren ex-
planned.
First is chronic 1euKemia. Leu
kemic blood cells are formed in the
bone marrow, presumably the site
of the malignancy, but they are
very close to normal white blood
cells and can even be differentiated
into types. A victim, without treat
ment, may live about two years. This
condition, however, has been treat
ed successfully by general irradia-
tion of the body with X-rays, so that
victims have been kept alive and in
fair health for years. 1t also has
been treated successfully by radio
active phosphorus given by mouth
an extremely wasteful method,
DR.. Warren said, which results in
Evening star., 1941-04-16

the loss of about q third of the
substance.
Acute leukemia Is q far more
pernicious process. Out Of the bone
marrow come great quantities Of
undifferentiated, embryonic white
blood cells which multiply by the
millions. Hitherto diagnosis OF
1t has been a certain death war
rant. Life could continue only q
few months. X-rays have done no
good.
Form Appears TO Change.
The radio active PHOSPHORUS
treatment, DR.. Warren said, appears
to change the acute to the chronic
form, greatly slowing up the rate Of
the pernicious process and making
possible its control. At first injec-
tions are given every. 10 days. A
shift of the blood back towards
normal is discerned at once, but 1t
soon falls back, to be restored by
another injection. Then a stage is
reached where injections are need
ed only every five weeks and finally
only every three or four months.
He has little doubt, DR.. Warren
said, but that the capacity in the
bone marrow of producing the
malignant cells remains, but 1t
slowed down.
The phosphorus has certain great
advantages over X-rays in that it
gravitates toward such blood-form-
ing organs as bone marrow, liver,
spleen and kidneys. 1t affects the
vital red cell count much less than
x-rays and there is none of the
dreaded X-ray sickness.
Difficult to Obtain.
The radioactive phosphorus is,
at present, extremely difficult to OBJ
tain. 1t can be manufactured only
in extremely minute quantities by
the giant cyclotrons, of which there
are four or five now operating in
the United States.
1t might be described as an "arti-
fetal radium," which Is carried
through the blood stream. 1t has
a great advantage over any radium
preparation, however, in that its
activity is lost rapidly. Half of it's
atoms explode every 14la days and
it degenerates into ordinary sulfur,
which is harmless to the body. The
disintegration products of radium
are fatal poisons.
Successful treatment of chronic
DR.. Warren said, is beng
carried out at two other clinics
one at the California Institute of
Technology, under the direction of
DR.. John Lawrence, brother of DR..
Ernest Lawrence, Nobel prize VIM
ner, who invented the cyclotron,
and one at Memorial Hospital, New
York,

Keeper Of Zoo S Birds
Reported Recovering
From Parrot Fever
Condition Of Davis,
Second to Be Stricken,
Held Extremely Good

The condition of Malcolm Davis
head keeper of the Zoos birdhouse
was described as extremely good
today at Sibley Hospital, where he
is under treatment for psittacosis-
parrot fever.
Mr.. Davis was admitted to the
hospital last Friday, second men,
ber of the birdhonse staff to be laid
low by the disease. The birdhouse
was closed several weeks ago, when
it was discovered that several of
the parrots were sick.
DR.. John c. Eckhardt, the physi-
clan treating Mr.. Davis, said the
naturalist appeared to be recover
ing, but would not hazard a guess
as to when he would be released
from the hospital. The disease some
times takes several months to run
its course, he said.
Mr.. Davis was stricken nearly
three months after it was discovered
that the parrots were sick. Gerald
Miller. another keeper, was the first
to contract the disease, but has since
recovered and returned to work.
The United States Public Health
Service was called in by DR.. William
Mann, Zoo director, to make studies.
DR. Mann emphasized there was no
danger to the public, since the house
has long been closed.
Mr.. Davis is a veteran Zoo en-
ploye. He went to the Antarctic with
the Byrd expedition and returned
with a prize collection of penguins.
He had previously made trip to In
dia to bring back a rhinoceros.
He lives at 904 Eleventh street SE.

today with announcement the COM
pany would build 72 swift oil tankers
for the United States at q cost of

President John G. Pew said a
contract for the 145,000-barrel ves-
sells, all carrying gun emplacements,
would be signed with the Maritime
Commission within few days and
I'VE expect to complete all 70 ships
in two years, launching the first

Construction will be speeded by
building of IL new ways and shops
to go with them at a cost of about
$12 100000. Mr.. Pew disclosed it was
likely 10000 workers would be added
to the pay roll within a year.
Land to Be Condemned.
The Maritime Commission moved
to make possible the expansion by
announcing it would condemn a
frontage of 2,425 feet on the Della
ware River adjoining the Sun ship
yards-its first such action in con-
nection with the defense program.
The approximately so acres in
volved are owned by Joseph Bancroft
& Sons Co. which the commission
said was demanding s2,594,000 for
the land-"most excessive in our
opinion, in view of the fact that the
entire property, of which the COM
mission is seeking but a portion, cost

RED APPLAUSE

Politically and economically, might just as soon be Nazis Communists, far as any indi- vdua freedom of action is concerned under either form of government
 But much may hold nose when we discuss the political aspects of Communism, we can join whole heartedy in giving great big hand to the Red Russian army for holding the line against the NaA blitz warfare which threatened Moscow and Leningrad
 Indications yesterday were that the Soviet troops, backed up by Old Man Winter, have suc- ceeded in keeping the swastika out of the two big Russian cities and in seeing the eventual retirement of the German forces into a defensive position which finds them digging in for the cold season to hold the gains on Russian soil they have thus far made.
 And while we continue to ship lend-lease aid to England, of us will even join Joe Stalin in asking why the Britans have left the Russians to fight their battle alone, instead of opening a second front to divert some of the axis troops and tanks and planes away from the Battle of Russia.

 A crew under John Maurstad be- gan the project on July 29. Foreman William FromholZ relieved him shortly after and has since had a crew averaging 10 in number which were quartered in a tent camp located at the beginning of the new trail. The crew and equip ment have recently been brought 0 Juneau upon completion of the project.
 That another new development at Turner Lake may be in the offing, it was learned late yester- day, when J. M. Wyckoff, forest examiner, went to the lake to de- termine the possibility of con- structing fish ladder at the lake outlet. The waterfall at the outlet now does not allow the spawning fish to enter the lake, it was pointed out.

 The former trail leading from tidewater to the lake has been re- located and is now a high standard trail 4 feet wide and 7/10 of a mile in length, leading from the mouth of Turner Creek at tidewater and along the creek to Turner Lake. New fishing spots have been made available by the new trail and a splendid view of the upper falls. hitherto hidden, can now be en- Joyed. The old trail has been aban- doned. An foot wide beat ramp has been constructed near the mouth of Turner Creek to afford anchorage for small boats. The channel leading from deep water to the boat ramp has also been marked with spar bouys attached to con- crete anchors.
 A ramp and open boat shed has been constructed at the lake. A new row boat suitable for outboard motor use nas been added to the number of similar boats which have been maintained by the Forest Service on Turner Lake for a num- Der of years. These now total five in number, all repaired and in good condition.
 The outstanding new develop ment of this recreational unit is an attractive one story Alpine type Building, of log and heavy sawn timber construction, designed to carry heavy snow loads.

 The way the plan works is this. The Nazis get a friendly neutral European country to approach a South American government with sn attractive offer to buy a large quantity Of goods. Ostensibly the purchase is for the neutral but &C., trally 1t is for Germany, to whom the goods would be trans-shipped once they crossed the Atlantic.

GOAL REACHED

Juneau fellows who have joined the armed forces at Chikoot Barracks can't say they have be- come the forgotten men" so far as their home town is concerned
 Yesterday, when the joint Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce committee to raise funds for the Empires drive for recreatona facilities at the Haines post reported their collections the month old drive passed its $1,ooo-goal. With contributions to be received until Saturday noon this $00O mark will be exceeded by at least Sl00 Added to this, an additional s2O0 has been sent to the men in the khaki brtches by the Juneau chapter of the Ameri- Women's Voluntary Services also to be used for recreational equipment.
 Thus, in actual cash donations, the Juneau cit- zens have well exceeded the $1OOO which Ketchkan residents gave men from their city before the First City company left for Chilkoot. We certainly don't believe Juneau people be criticized harshly for postponing their donations until weeks after their boys reached the training post At the time the local troops inducted into service, infor nation as to just what would be required at Haines to make their new home comfortable was en- tIely lacking After the boys arrived at their quar- tcrs and sent back reports of their needs their home town has proved its complete willingness to lend a helping hand.
 Before dismissing the subject must recog- rize that lot of other donations besides just cold cash have been sent to Chilkoot Barracks. Through the Ennre', fund, boxing gloves ping-peng set, radio, electric plonograph magazine subscriptions, phonos~aph records and late books have gone to Hanea. Tn other drives in the city, boxes of cake and cookies clothes hangers, mirrors, towels and ether requirements have been raised
 We have all been cheerful givers, for are sn proud of Juneau men in uniform and want them to know that in the sacrifices they mak- ing as national defenders, their home town is back ing them up loo percent.
