atomic Scientists And Materials
Will Aid Future Cancer Research

Much of the material discovered
from research on the atomic bomb,
as we'll as many of the scientists
who participated in the project,
will facilitate future cancer re-
search. This hopeful message was
delivere da few days ago in the
course of an address by Colonel
Stafford l.. Warren to the National
Association of Science Writers dur
ing a dinner at the Hotel BiltmOre
in New York City.
Colonel Warren, who was in
charge of medical supervision OF
workers on the Manhattan Project,
and former cancer authority Of the
University of Rochester Medical
School, revealed that about 1000
scientists who worked on the ato-
mic bomb will soon be released
from their governmental duties.
Many of these scientists, he said,
will enlist in the drive to find the
cause and control of cancer.
Speaking to the assembled sci
ence writer's. officials of the Amer
lean Cancer Society and prominent
medical authorities, he suggested,
What we need in order to find the
cure for cancer. is a great national
crusading group that will get be-
hind a program without arOusiRg a
fear complex and making our pOpu-
lation neurOtic. That group is the
American Cancer Society
Presiding at the meeting was DR.
Frank f. Adair, president of the
American Cancer Society who cited
the fact that, between Pearl Har-
Dor and VI Day, cancer killed more
than twice as many Americans as
did the NaZis and Japs. Ranking
cancer as our number one enc
my" Dr. Adair predicted that, "un-
less we do something about it, II
million Americans now living viii
die OF cancer"
