Yonks Close
 In On Boquio
By DON CASWELL

Manila, April 16 = (U.P0-Three American columns closed in today on Baguio, last major eney-held city on Luzon, with one force only three miles away.
 The columns were approaching the city, former Japanese headquar- ters in the Philippines, from the northwest. southwest and south east.
 One force, which pushed up from the original Lingayen invasion beachheads reached within three miles of the southwestern city lim- its, while a second column drove through Monglo, four miles north west of Baguio, and the third con- tingent advanced beyond Lawitan to within 10 miles southeast of the city.
 In southern Luzon, other Amer ican troops seized Cagraray Island of the east coast of Albay Gulf, where the 158th Regimental com- bat team landed two weeks ago at Legaspi and since have pushed far up the Bicol Peninsula.
 6eucTal OOuBlaS MdCAILnuU ulS- closed that bombers and fighters, in direct support of the ground forces, throughout the Philippines, dropped approximately 400 tons of bombs on Japanese front positions.
 Other aerial forces hammered Davao, in southeastern Mindanao, Thursday and Friday. and paralyz- ed the city's communications with 387 tons of bombs. The attacks were carried out by all types of planes from the Far Eastern Air Force, which flew more than 250 sorties in the two days.
 Long range Liberators continued the blockade of China Sea shipping, delivered the first Philippines based blow on the Chinese port of Canton and again hit the battered docks at Hong Kong.
 In the shipping attacks, two Jap- anese freighters were definitely sunk. one destroyerd and one gum boat were damaged. and 12 other cargo vessels severly damaged and possibly sunk.

 Also present were Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., and British Ambassador Lord Hali. fax. Stettinius met with MT. Tru- man earlier shortly after the President arrived in the executive office at the early hour of 8:15 a. m. - then returned to join the conference with Eden and the am- bassador.
 Eden who flew from England to attend the late President Roosevelt's funeral, said as he left MT. Tru- mans office:
 T was very pleased to have the privilege of calling on the President and very grateful that he found time to see him on this day when he has his first important speech to deliver.
 Naturally I brought him some messages from the Prime Minister telling him how gratified we are about the very close relations that exist between us in all our affairs"
 It was the new presidents first full-dress foray into the field of foreign affairs a field which will occupy much of his time in com ing months. He returned from the burial services at Hyde Park for President Roosevelt last night to be- gin his first full day as the nations chief executive.
 1. Continue talks with Eden, whose government is anxious to ex- plore the intentions of the new ad- ministration in the foreign field.
 2. Hold similar talks with Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov now that Marshal Josef Stalin has decided, at MT. Trumans sugges- ton, to send him to the San Fran cisco conference.
 3. Meet some of the foreign min isterS and Prime Ministers of the United Nations as they pass through here enroute to San Fran cisco. All are as anxious as Eden and Molotov to sound him out and determine how far they can expect

 Rumors even were circulating in Stockholm that Germany's capitula- ton could be expected today, prob ably this afternoon"

BY HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, NJ D.

1T is an interesting fact that
,ancer of the lung is now consid-
cred to be three times as frequent
as before the year 1920, and that
is only 25 years ago. This does not
necessarily mean that there has
been an actual increase in the num-
Der of cases Of this disorder.
Rather, it more likely means that
cases are being recognized more
often because Of better diagnosis.
1t is easy for this condition to
escape notice, and it frequently
may be confused with tuberculosis
Of the lungs, lung assesses and
other disorders.
One reason for the difficulty in
diagnosing lung cancer is that the
tumor growth may remain quiet
for a long time. This means that it
does not cause symptoms and does
not increase rapidly in size. Often
the diagnosis is made on the basis
OF an Array examination, not be-
cause the tumor shows in the
N-ray plate, but because the tumor
blocks the passage of ali in and
out of certain parts Of the lung.
This causes some of the lung tissue
to collapse and this collapsed lung
tissue can be detected in the X-ray
plate. Furthermore, when the
tumor increases in size. it pushes
the lung structures in the middle
of the chest over to one side.

How The X-Ray Acts in
Diagnosing Lung Cancer

As | have said, lung cancer may
be present for some time without
causing symptoms. Then such
symptoms as loss of weight, cough
ing and the bringing up of sputum
may develop. There are some who
have suggested that the increase
In smoking by many persons may
be a factor in the production of
lung cancer, but there is no definite
evidence to prove this point.
Cancer of the lung is, as a rule,
a disease of older persons, just as
are other cancers. Hence, when a
m~iddle-aged or older person de-
velops a cough Or other symptoms
indicating some trouble in the
chest, an X-ray examination
should be carried out at once. Can
Ger Of the lung is by no means a
hopeless disease if it is diagnosed
early enough. MOI only may the
cancer be removed, but also, in re-
cent times, an operation for re-
moval Of the entire lung has been
successfully carried out. Treat
ment with X-ray may be useful in
some cases.
Whether or not cancer Of the
lung is increasing, the weapons for
combating it are at hand. How
ever, cooperation between the pa
tient and the physician is required
in order that the number of deaths
from this disorder may be reduced.
