Disease Durable In Early Stages
BY ALINE BENJAMIN NEA Staff COrrespondent

New York, April 4.-Since Pearl Harbor cancer has taken three times as many American lives as war mas claimed on the battle fronts. Can cer cases are on the increase de- spite improved medical treatment.
 Cancer is responsible for more women's deaths between the ages of 35 and 55 than any other dis ease and is second to heart dis ease in the death toll of men. One out of every four women over 35, and one out of every six men over 40 will die of cancer this year. Yet 30 to 50 per cent of cancer deaths are needless says the American Cancer society.
 Doctors and hospitals to fight the disease are inadequate in number and resources. National fund-raising to combat infantiIe paralysis netted approximately $6, 100000 in 1943, an tuberculosis more than $9,O0O,O0O In the same year the cancer drive collected approximately $6OO,OOO Yet can- cer kills almost three times as many as polio and tuberculosis, (Per 1000 population, cancer kills 1903; polio, 06; and tuberculosis 44.5).

6 Convicts Still Free

Philadelphia, April 4-(UP)-Po- lice blanketed all exits from Phlla- delphia today in the belief that six of 12 long term convicts who tun- neled their way out of Eastern Pen- itentiary were still hiding within the city. The other six had been recaptured.
 The prisoners escaped yesterday through an 85-foot tunnel which prison authorities said took six months to dig. The tunnel, dug with homemade knives and stolen trowel, bored 26 feet underground to scrape under the foundation of the peniteniary's closely-guarded wall.
 Six of the men, including two lifers, were captured within two hours after the escape was diScov- cred by guards who found the tun- mel entrance.
 Miss s. M. R. O'Hara, state sec- retary of welfare, ordered com plete investigation" to determine how the men could spend six months digging an elaborate tunnel without being detected.
 Smith said the prisoners appar- ently worked in shifts behind a cleverly made plaster cover in the wall of corner cell on the ground floor. As they went along they strung electric wire to provide lights every few feet.

Novy Cutting Draft Calls

Washington, April 4.-(UP)-The Navy Department said today it is cutting down on its calls for men through Selective Service so that 1t will not go beyond it's authorized strength of 3,600,000 by July l.
 Two factors are understood to be responsible for the reduction. First is the satisfactory progress of the war in the Pacific with a resultant smaller demand for replacements than had been expected. The other is that voluntary enlistments of IT, year olds are coming along at a high rate.
 Strength of the Navy on February was 3,300,000.
 The reduction will be gradual un- til in June the NavyS calls will be 50 per cent below the 35,00O month ly average which has been main tained during the past year.
 These cuts, it was estimated, will result in reduction of about 10 per cent in the total calls by Selec- tive Service. These have averaged about 135,000 a month.
 Thus the Army will have a slight ly larger pool from which it caD draw the men it needs. Only re- gently the Navy allotted to the Army a& youths Is to 20 inclu- Sive.

S8,O0O ACTION
 SETTLED TODAY

 ton Instituted

Withdrawal papers were filed in superior court today in the $8,0OO civil action brought by Mary and Sadie Mecca of Waterbury against Frank Slomowitz of Waterbury and Nathan w. Rowley of Harwinton. The litigation was based on sale of property on Clough road and Joseph street.
 The plaintiffs claimed they entered into an agreement with Rowley, owner of the Rowley Lum- Der Go. of Torrington, whereby they would convey their property to him under certain conditions. They claimed Rowley agreed to cancel the standing lumber bills and pay off the second mortgages and then sell the property as soon as three houses were completed The excess money, after the expenses were paid, were to be conveyd to Mary Mecca, the writ stated.
 It was alleged the lumber com- pany owner sold the property to the other defendant at price below the reasonable market value, and before the houses had been com- pleted. He failed to furnish an item ized statement of the money re- ceived or to turn over the balance. the plaintiffs claimed. Terms of set clement were not disclosed.

Job-Freeze Bill Killed

Washington, April 4(UP)-The major question on Capital Hill to- day was what, if anything would take the place of the defeated com- promise manpower bill.
 The Senate rejected the contro- versial job-freeze measure by Q de- cisive 46 to 29 vote yesterday, and many senators believed 1t meant clearly that there was no hope for any new manpower legislation at this stage of the war.
 Some, however, felt that there still was a chance for the Senate'S original manpower bill which would give legal force to labor ceilings and other directives of the war man. power commission.
 On one thing both sides agreed that the principle of compulsory or forced labor will not be adopted by this Congress.
 In any case nothing can be done until the House gets back on the job from its informal easter recess soon after April 10. Three courses of action will then be open to mem- bers;
 l. They can refuse to go back into conference, which will auto- matically kill all manpower legisla- tion.
 2. They can appoint conferees for a new attempt to work out . compromise.
 3. They can vote on the Senate bill.

Soviet Radio
 Louds Farley
BY UNITED PRESS

The Moscow radio today broadcast an article expressing the view that the San Francesca Conference was timed for the proper moment and would accomplish its task of estab- fishing strong and durable world peace organization.
 The broadcast, recorded by the EGG, quoted at length from an ar ticle by David zaslavsky, commenta- tor for the Communist party news paper Pravda.
 Zaslavsky asserted that the con- ference was especially significant for two reasons-that it was being held lat the right time from every point of view and that it marked proof of the defeat of United States Isola- tioniSm."
 While the article did not elaborate on the time theme, the conference will open on April 25, the last day for renewal of the neutrality pact between Russia and Japan.
 "The San Francisco conference is based above all on realistic condi- tions," the editorial said. Its initi- ating powers are the strongest states of the world-the U. s. s. R. The United States and Great Bri- tain
 These states united in the war against the Fascist bloc. Their coalition stood every test, at the time of reverses as well as in the period of victories The basis of An- glo-U United States, Soviet coalition is formed by the most important life interests of the three states, and these interests demand durable and solid peace"
 The editorial said the Crimea con- ference was an example of the unity and understanding and added that ''it is clear that if the strongest states of the world find a common platform for the protection of peace there will be peace on earth.
 The editorial warned that there must not be another League of Ma tions, but rather the formation of an international organization. which would not repeat the past but "open a new chapter in world history"

Need Funds For Public Education
. . .

gan, National Commander of the Field Army of the American Can- cer Society.
 The Field Army of some O0,OOo women volunteers who work with medical men has done much to educate the public to recognize the danger signals of early cancer. Besides this educational work, they help to provide transporta- tion to clinics, and they prepare and supply ban6ages and surgical dressings. Usually the quantities of bandages needed by advanced patients are far beyond the aver age budget.
 A recent poll showed that the public is far from familiar with the simplest facts about cancer. A large percentage still believe 1t is contagious and incurable. Many attribute its causes to such old wives tales as eating small peas from tin cans, gold teeth, horse bite and just elements in the air.
 Actually, what causes cancer is still mystery. For decades ur- successful efforts have been madd in laboratories to find germ or germs responsible for cancer. Il is known, however, that cancer is an uncontrolled growth of one or more cells or tissues of the body; X-ray and radium are the only treatments which have proved ef' fective.

Trade School Bill
 Rejected By House

Hartford, Conn, April 4-(UP)- The House today approved a bill allowing the setting up of small claims divisions of justice courts, but defeated an amendment of Rep. Philip E. Curtiss, R., Norfolk, which would make it obligatory that the justice receive added pay.
 The small claims divisions would have civil jurisdiction up to $1O0. Many of the courts now have such divisions, created under special acts of the legislature. The bill approved today was blanket measure, per- mitting all of the 100 towns having justice courts to take on civil juris- diction.
 Curtiss said his amendment was a clarifying one, intended to make sure that the justices would receive additional compensation for what he called "a disagreeable job"
 The House approved several other bills, which provided:
 That the state pay one-half, but not more than $500, of the annual salaries of school superintendents Towns would be compelled to file salary statement with the comptrol- Ter.

central cancer research agency were requested.
 Existing institutions are insult ficiently endowed to cope with the killer. Only four cancer pre- vention clinics are attached to recognized hospitals in the United States-two in New York, one in Chicago and one in Philadelphia. There are only 400 approved care clinics, periodically inspected and approved by the American Col lege of Surgeons.
 4SO,OOO VICTIMS
 An estimated 48O,O00 persons are suffering from cancer today. The utter tragedy of the situa- tion-inadequate facilities, a pauc- ity of funds, public ignorance and government apathy can be no more strikingly illustrated than to point ou that 70 to 30 per cent of all cancer, if caught early, is definitely curable.
 In its early stages cancer-like a small fire-is usually confined to small area and treatments are more likely to be successful. But late cancer is like a conflagra- tion that has gotten out of control. Just as sparks from big blaze may light elsewhere and start an- other fire, so do bits of a rapidly growing cancer leave the main mass and settle in other parts of the body to start secondary can- cerous growths.
 If the public could be educated to recognize first symptoms and trained to go for an examination twice 8 year, many cases could be caught in the early stages and cured" says Mrs. Harold Milli-
