CANCER ATTITUDE CHANGED BY DATA
Growths Detected and Re. moved Early Generally
 Keep Tissues Healthy

Displacement of public indiffel- ence, fear and approximation about cancer by an attitude Of realism is as vital to the control of the disease as the discovery of its basic cause, Matthew Fl. Griswold, M. D., chief, Division of Cancer Research, said in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health.
 Cancer is a lawlcss growth Of body cells, he explained. These cells have escaped from the controlling forces of the body and multiply without regulation. Such growths destroy and replace healthy tissue. This makes 1t important that can- cerous growths be detected and rec moved early.
 The majority of fears on cancer are based on superstition rather than scientific fact, pr. Griswold pointed out. Those still in doubt should avail themselves of the op- portunity of asking the physician of their choice these questions: What is cancer? How does it spread? What Is known about it? They could then correct any false ideas they may have had about the disease and reach the interesting stage of reality.
 Individuals who fear that sorne- thing is wrong with their bodies and still delay proper checkup are comparable to those who allow mechanical inperfection In 8 car to reach destructive proportions, said Dr. Griswold. The wiser ones who wish to live in health and well be. ing go to c physician early anc regularly for examination and treat- ment, if indicated.

(Contlnued from Page l) the attack, Serrano Suner and other Falangigts were said to have de- manded their release.
 Lieut.. Gen. Jose Enrique Varela dismissed by Franco as war minister, was said to have led the army in demanding punishment of the Fal- angiSts and imposition of at least one death penalty.
 This dispute, 1t was said, brought to Q head siEnmerlng bitterness be- tween the army and the Falange and Franco was reported to have shaken up the government in order to elim- mate the contention and concen- trate control of the government, the Falange and the army In his own hands.
 It was thought by these foreign sources that the removal of Serrano Suner may eliminate the source of good many extremist statements against the Allies. It was also thought that the move might aid the monarchist movement in Spain to some extent though 1t was doubted that any move to restore the Bour- bon throne would be undertaken until after the war.
 Naxis Caught Mapping
 German broadcaStS showed plainly that the reorganization which elim- mated Serano Suner had caught the NaziS mapping.
 It was nearly l2 hours before the official German news agency blandly said:
 "The reshuffle of the spanish gov- ernment did not come as Q surprise to German foreign ofilcG circles since they had been kept advised as to the developments which led up to the appointment of new personages.
 German emphasis that Francois shake.up would not involve any change in Spanish foreign policy was taken to mean that Germany was expressing 8 hope rather than be- lief.
 Berlin noted that the reorganiza- Clon was along the lines or recent Franco policy because 1t strength ened the position of army leaders in the government and politics.
 Political observers here suggested that Serrano Suner's fall had been precipitated by the turn of America toward the Allies.
 Entry of the United States to the war weakened Serrano Suner, 1t was said, but he held that the United States had always been tied closely to Britain.
 Then Mexico's entry weakened his position further, 1t was said, and he held that the Mexican government anyway was opposed to the Franco regime.
 Brazil's entry, and Portugals an- nouncement of solidarity with Brazil, brought the climax, it was suggested, because it meant that the turn against the Axis was assuming Pan American scale.
