Mr.. O'Mahoney, who pointed out
that there might be provision for

The Andrews substitute measure

Oficer George c. Rutland.
DR.. Ruhland says a public health
appropriation of $l1.soo is available
to pay the salaries of director and
a secretary and to obtain necessary
supplies.
A director is to be appointed after
a survey has been made by DIR. CAL
vim T. Klopp of the Warwick Me-

Health officials said DR.. Klopp plans
to have a statistical survey made of
several cities, including New York,
Boston and New Haven, and when
this information is available to the
District oficials they will begin work
on the cancer setup.
People are living longer" DR..
Ruhland said, "and as a consequence
the older people are likely to have
advanced diseases. Cancer is the
second worst disease the medical
profession has to cope with, exceeded
only by heart disease"
Health officials believe that a big
step forward in the control of cancer
was taken with the announcement
yesterday of the organization of a

Cancer Society. The Washington
organization Is headed by DR.. Fl. H.
