Cancer Called
Great Wrecker. OF
Homes By Doctor
One Death Every
Three Minutes
Statistics Show

NEW YORK, N. Y.-"Cancer is
our greatest home wrecker, and,
therefore, the success of the Amer
lean Cancer Society's drive for
$12,0O0,000 during April should be
the vital concern of each and every
parent, Negro and white" DR.. John
r. Moseley, New York City's ma
tionally known Negro medical au-
thority on cancer and staff men,
Der of the interracial Sydenham
Hospital, declared in an interview
this week.
Cancer not only reaches its
killing hand into the home to take
a mother or father at the very
prime of life. but this dreaded dis
ease also kills more children, Ne
gro and white, between the ages
of 5 and 20 years, than any other
single common childhood disease"
DR.. Moseley stated.
FOR CHILDREN'S SAFETY
"For our children's sake we must
continue our vigilance against such
diseases as diphtheria, infantile
paralysis, measles, whooping
cough, scarlet fever, but we must
keep in mind that cancer kills
children as we'll as the middle aged
and elderly of all races" he said.
CDR. MoSeley quoted figures
from the U. S. Bureau of Vital
Statistics for the five-year period
from 1889 through 1913 to show
that a total Of 5,733 children, Ne
gro and white. between the ages of
5 and 20, died of cancer, and the
common childhood diseases fol-
lowed in this order. Infantile pa
ralysis 2,162 deaths; diphtheria
1850; typhoid fever ,629; measles
1873; scarlet fever 1,126; whoop-
ing cough 400.
This is more than two and one
half times as many fatalities from
cancer as any of these seven COM
mon childhood diseases and the
cancer deaths exceed the combined
total of deaths from infantile pa
ralysis, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough, DR.. Moseley
pointed out.
ONE DEATH EVERY
3 MINUTES
"For al, ages, one person is dy-
ing from cancer every three min
utes in the United States, and
unless something is done about it,
one out of every eight Americans,
Negro and white, will die sooner
or later from cancer" DR.. Nose
ley said, adding, "but when de-
tected in time and treated effective
ly, cancer may be cured in 80 per
cent of the cases.
Medical science through re-
search has wiped out or gained
rigid control over many diseases
and our country through research,
developed the atomic bomb. We
must press a comprehensive and

standing that she would be includ-
ed. Her experiences with masses
of Negroes before coming to Chi

Vice Presidents in History
BY David Laurence
Prom the Lawrence Journal-world.


Discussions of plans Of the Democrat
Party for 194s are filled with freoueK
references to the question whether Presi-
dent Truman will be a candidate for the
nomination in that year. The instances
IN which Vice Presidents have succeeded
to the presidency on the death of the
elected incumbent are Of interest in that
connection, although they may not
throw much light on the probabilities
for 1913.
In the history Of the republic seven
vice Presidents have been advanced to
the presidency by reason Of q vacancy
IN the high office. Only two Of them
have later been elected to the once OF
Chief Executive.
John Tyler became. President on the
death OF William Henry Harrison In
184l. He served all but a month or 80
OF four-year-term. Willard Fillmore
succeeded Zachary Taylor in 1850. An
drew johnson the martyred Lincoln in
1865, and Chester A. Arthur followed
Garfield in 1881. But none of those mar
served an elective term in the presidency:
Theodore Roosevelt was the first ex.
ception. He became President on the
assassination of Mckinley in 1901. and
was elected to a full four-year term in
1904. Calvin Coolidge succeeded Hard.
ing in 1923 and was elected in 1924
That Is the record of what has han.
pened. Every one is free to guess whether
1t has any bearing on the chances NJ

Californian
By Raym&o,.,

While many croSScurrents were run
ming in the California primaries, it
seems clear that the strikes and OPA
troubles in the Democratic party are
beginning to break into the open. Ex-
cellent judges Of trends, who are not
antilabor, say that deep current Of
resentment Is running not against labor.
but against labor leaders. This was
quite apparent in California
Gov. Earl Warren has not been
antilabor, nor has he followed the line
of the more conservative Republicans
in his State But his opponent, Attor-
ney General Robert w. Kenny, has been
the darling of the radical elements in
his State. His defeat in his own Demo-
cratic primary by Warren cannot be at
tributed so much to opposition to Mr.
Truman as to opposition to the radical
and labor elements that are now de-
nouncing the President. It was, in fact,
a straight test of strength between q
moderately independent Governor, who
is ofdcially Republican, and all the as
sorted movements, personalities and po-
litical labor groups which have so often
won big victories in the Golden State

A still more decisive test in Novem-
Der will be in the race for Lieutenant
Governor of California. A Republican

Medical Research Center

One of the anomalies of war is
that the science of administering
death to ones enemies involves re-
search, at the same time, into meth
DDS of saving mems lives. How to
defeat death, injury and disease
among ones own troops is no less
important, from strictly military
standpoint. than how to overwhelm
the enemy by superior arms and tao
tics. 1t was no mere accident that
an Army doctor led the battle that
conquered yellow fever, nor that
military campaigns frequently ex-
pand mans knowledge of wounds
and diseases and how to deal with
them more effectively.
1t is consistent with the fine ira
ditions of military medicine, there
fore, that the War Department
should plan to develop in nearby
Maryland a great research and
training center for the study of dis
eases, especially the rarer ones, and
Tor the instruction of Army physi-
clans in how to combat them. I'm
der the program announced by
Army Surgeon General Norman T.
Kirk. all Army medical research IA
cilities will be consolidated in an
institution at Forest Glen, Nd, to be
known as the Army Medical Re-
search and Graduate Training Gen.
ter. Included in the center will be
an institute of pathology, a thou
sand-bed hospital. school of global
medicine and institutes for research
In surgery, dentistry and radiation
therapy.
AS might be inferred from its
name. the School of Global Medi-
cine will be direct outgrowth of
World War II, which confronted
the Army with the problem of pro-
tecting its fighting men from rare
diseases not hitherto considered as
major factor in our military oper-
atoms. The findings of the Army
specialists will not be classified as
military secrets. Just as Walter
Reeds discovery of the cause of
yellow fever paved the way for its
virtual eradication as q menace to
mankind at large, so the discoveries
which may be expected to come
from the new research center will
be available for the relief of suffer-
Ing everywhere. The funds ex-
pended in development of this prof.
ect will be money soundly invested
for the public welfare.

VINO are uncertain whether Assistant
Secretary of State Braden and his close
advisers have exercised good common.
sense diplomacy in preventing the Wal
Department from even making a ges-
ture in his behalf.
Gen. Bor is expected to arrive In
Washington next Monday. Military men
OF the western democracies regard him
as an outstanding hero because of his
desperate 63-day fight against the Nazis
in Warsaw in 1914 when, acting on q
signal from Moscow, he raised the
standard Of rebellion against overwhelm-
ing odds.
He arrived in this country three. weeks
ago and has been received with honors
in the States he has visited.
Gen. Dor and the Polish born Ameri-
cans who had invited him to come to
this country realize that nothing off,
cial can be done for him in Washington
But he has expressed the wish, as the
leader of an underground army which
has been decimated by the common
enemy in the war, to place a wreath on
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in
Arlington. The tomb is under the con-
troll OF the War Department and nc
ceremony can take place without its
approval.
When foreigners wish to honor the
American dead the War Department
must be notified by the State Depart

evidently decided that If it permitted

might be misconstrued in Warsaw and
considered as an unfriendly gesture
which eventually might lead to a break
in diplomatic relations.
Important members of Congress. in
Guiding Senator James A. Mead of New

the State Department. They point out
that the laying of wreath on the
part OF a soldier whose battle against

no political implications and is certain

Up to the House

1t is up to the House now to decide
whether we are going to gamble
with our national security or
whether we are going to bulwark
that security by living up to our vital
responsibilities abroad, in both
Europe and Asia.
The Senate has forthrightly re-
jected the gamble. Looking at the
world realistically, it has voted over
whelmingly to extend the draft until
next May Is. 1t has voted in favor
of the only step that can be taken
If the United States is to avoid risk
ing not merely the loss of its inter-
national prestige but also the loss
OF its opportunity to safeguard its
own future by playing a full part in
establishing the peace.
What the House will do remains
to be seen. but this much is clear:
That if it does not retreat from the
measure it passed some time ago, if
1t holds out for the exemption of
teen-agers and for a moratorium on
tnductions, it will be gravely under
mining our position overseas. For
the fact is that our armed forces
urgently need selective service
without Gripping amendments-to
be sure of having the minimum
manpower required for occupational
and other duties essential to the
protection of our own basic interests
in the present delicate period of
transition from war to peace.
In short, as the situation stands
today, to depend on voluntary. re-
cruitment and an emasculated YER
sion of the draft would be to lean on
a dangerously weak reed. The Sen
ators have taken no such chance.
# the Representatives take it they
will be following a shamefully reck-
less course whose long-term conse-
quences, besides haunting them po-
litically, may do lasting injury to the
Nation.
