Cause of Cancer Remains
 We'll Hidden to Scientists

New York, Sept. 17-(uP)-Dis- covery of the cause, an effective control or even cure for cancer could come today or tomorrow.
 The main hope of medical scient- ists at the present time Is to get a foot into the doorway. They be- ieve that will lead them into 8 position from where they can find means to strike down the disease which antedates the Christian era.
 The worlds best arsenal of scien- tif1c weapons against cancer is cen tered here in New York City at Memorial Hospital. It is the only institution where prevention, treat ment, research and medical educa- ton against this killer is housed under one roof. If more such inte- grated centers were located through the United States and the world, medical scientists believe that the battle against cancer might be won in this generation - perhaps even earlier.
 Surgery Still Foremost
 Surgery still is the front line weapon against cancer with radium and x-ray finishing out the 1-2-3 order of effectiveness. However, early experiments with radioactive elements, particularly carbon and other by-products of the splitting of the uranium atom, have opened a new and intriguing field of re- search.
 Despite the much heralded claims about atomic fission, in the war against cancer, there is no concrete evidence as yet that a miracle weapon" has been found.
 The so-called isotopes, radioactive by-products of the atom bomb fac- tories, are just beginning to arrive in cancer hospitals and research laboratories. Experts in cancer re- search and treatment at Memorial Center have reserved optimism on what these radioactive isotopes will do in the drive against cancer. In their conservative way, they say the primary purpose in using these na- tural radioactive elements is for the study of the properties of the can- cer cell.
 Some artificially created isotopes such as radioactive iodine and phosphoreus, already have been used in treating certain types of cancer. Limited results were obtained in leukemia cancer and good results in polycythemia, a rare disease, but not cancer
 Radioactivity Curative
 Radioactive iodine, however, is being used as a curative agent for an overactive thyroid gland, and in rare cases of thyroid cancer.
 It is hoped that other 100-odd types of cancer, may be susceptible to radioactive elements. Tn short, experts in cancer work have just begun to pry into the possibilities of using natural atomic energy in controlling or curing the disease The day may come when the isotope may replace present conventional methods of treatment, such as K rays, radium and radon.

 Freedoms, Party Told

and in national Capitol. For our party has proved that race or creed, poverty or plenty, are not tests by which our leaders are chosen.
 We have a place in the Demo cratic Party for the thinking man. He is the man who wishes to think of himself first as an American. He then accepts party label only be- cause he has weighed past perfor- nance.
 That man will pledge his future by his estimate of history :. whether he wants his country to be the land of the Hardings Cool idges. Hoovers. {. or the Amer ica of Woodrow Wilson and Frank lin Delano Roosevelt.
 "In the privacy of his conscience, that man will exercise his freedom of choice. Freedom? Oh now he remembers man who made free dom" more than a word. He gave it the sound of a majestic hymn |. sending hope to every remote cor ner of 8 bewildered world. Freedoms
 Freedom from fear.
 Freedom from want.
 Freedom of speech.
 Freedom of faith.
 "As long as America remembers those principles the name of Roosevelt has not lost its magic. Those freedoms are his legacy to the common man. Our labor of loy- atty is to make sure that America does not forget"

Memorial, experts are swinging in- to action on a long range, pains taking, tedious program to test the products produced by more than 10000 strains of bacteria, fungi and plants, in the first real postwar biological search for a cancer cell killer.
 In a drive paralleling the anti biotic work, much research is going on in a study of the male and female sex hormones as they per- tain to cancer. One particular chemical hormone compound of a large number is frequently excreted by males with cancer and other disease states, while there was no trace of it in the normal male study.
 Time Element Important
 This could be clue to a cause of cancer.
 Experts here report that most all cancer cases can be halted, con- trolled or even cured if detected in time. A cancer that is not spread ing too rapidly can be taken out by surgery and recovery usually is the case. Some can be treated effective ly with x-rays, radium or radon, which is the radioactive gas formed by the emitting of energy rays from radium.
 New types of x-rays are being used now-some with 100000 volts and still more powerful x-rays are to come. It is believed, however, that some, means must be found to bom- bard cancerous tissue with a tre- mendous electric force, and yet not damage the normal tissue around the cancer or in the path of the penetrating rays.

last night that Secretary of Com merce Henry A. Wallace had dis rupted and destroyed" the country's foreign policy.
 Wallace's recent speech, he said, was in direct opposition to the pro- gram of Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, and "a plea for appease- ment and retreat"
 Wallace, fin effect, told the American people that it was time for us to pack up and get out of Europe, that everything that we had done to establish peace in the world had been futile, that all our sacrifices of life had been in vain. The smaller, the weaker nations of the world are looking to us for world leadership that will bring peace. Can we shirk that respon- sibility by policy of appeasement? :? Can we win the peace by policy of ignominious retreat as suggested by MT. Wallace?"
 Baldwin said that fin Madison Square Garden the other night the foreign policy of the United States was kicked, around like political football, was shaped and misshaped by MT. Wallace in response to the cheers and jeers of highly parti- san crowd"
 He said the Washington Admin istration was 8 "house divided, a house that cannot, under its pres ent leadership, agree on a foreign policy '. merely another example Of what happens when a political party and an administration tries to go in two directions at the same time"
