cancer was treated in any other way"
 It was Dr. Charles Huggins of the University of Chicago and as- sociates Dr. R. E. Stevens, Jr., and Dr. Clarence Hodges, reporting on castration as treatment of can eer of the prostate gland.
 They performed the operation on 21 men in advanced stages of this disease and noted Is were re- markedly improved. Pain ceased, weight picked up, red blood cells multiplied. Only four patients died.
 Then the overgrown gland shrank. In IS the cancer had spread to pelvis or spine and in some cases this too, was arrested.
 But their conclusion was cleo trifying news and served to con- firm recent theories that the un- balanced state of sex hormones has something to do with forming cancer cells.
 Confirms An Old Theory
 It proved that Dr. J. w. White was on the right track in 1895 when, performing III operations and reporting relief in 96, he pro- posed castration to relieve painful overgrowth of the prostate. In 1881 a German, Dr. Adolf Bute- nardt, isolated the male sex hor- none and called it androsterone
 Two years later it was made synthetically. A lot of people thought the fountain of youth had been found at last and crowded around for a drink.
 Two Male Hormones Found
 There were remarkable claims of rejuvenation, but patients with enlarged prostate often grew worse after taking the synthetic.
 Two Cleveland clinicians soon solved that one. They reported there were two male hormones, on acting on the pituitary gland to keep it from er-stimulating the prostate.
 The other, dead ringer for androsterone, actually stimulated growth of the gland!
 The United States government released synthetic substitute for the female hormone in 1941 which has been used successfully in the overgrowth of the prostate.
 Conversely, the synthetic male hormone has had a beneficial ef- feet on cancer of the breast in women.
 There are no "cures' in sight, but at last research seems to be breathing hot on the neck of this formidable man-killer.

Canada Faces
Rationing
Food Situotion
Grows Tighter

OTTAWA, June 21-(P-The
Canadian cabinet, studying this
country's relatively bountiful
meat supply against the back
ground of a world wide food
crisis, probably will order ra-
tioning of civilian consumption
in the near future, it was
learned today.
Canadian meat production,
which has made the Dominion a
principal provider for Allied
armies and the United Nations
and has stocked civilian tables
ITO the envy of other peoples, is
now running tighter. Rationing
would be aimed at distributing
civilian supplies more equit-
ably and making more available
for export 10 famine-threat-
ened world.
Although the official Canad-
ian position has been that meat
rationing has been unnecessary
since il was abandoned Is
months ago, there has been a
growing agitation for the step
within Canada in recent weeks
Proponents of rationing de-
clare 1t is now necessary to ease
increasing domestic shortages
which are creating black mar
kets. TO provide more meat for
starving Europeans and to end
criticism of Canada's non-ra-
toned status which has been
coming from the United States.
There are strong forces with
in the government still opposed
TO rationing, however, and there
is an autside chance their views
may prevail. Much depends on
studies of the world food short
age now beng made, both here
and in Washington by members
of the combined food board, on
which the United States, Can
ada and Britain are represented.
Americans ask why meat is
not now rationed in Canada and
why the Canadian surplus" is
not made available to the Unit
ed States or in greater amounts
to Britain and other United Ma
tons.

 The new plane, he said, is capable of ranging over all East Asia from l Western Pacific bases.
 The chief of the Army Air Forces gave no details of the new craft eX- cept that it has speed the same or possibly greater than the B-29. He recalled that a B-29 had recently flown from Guam to Washington, a distance of 5000 miles, in 36 hours. To a question as to whether the new lcng range plane is the recently announced B-32, Arnold emphasized that he was talking about a new plane.
 He declared that the age of Buck Rogers warfare" is not far away and that the time is coming when tLere went be any crews in bomb Ing planeS.
