Cure for Cancer Is Claimed by Russia
University of California Physicians Report New Method of
 DiagnOSing Disease

Diagnosing Disease
 Great news for all mankind: An other long step in the successful treatment of cancer is claimed for Russian scientists in a statement released this week by the Soviet Embassy.
 The method consists of trans planting cancer tissue, the theory being that this sets up an immu- nity that overcomes the disease.
 Officials of the Public Health Service said they know of no ex- periments similar to those de- Scribed by the Soviet bulletin, but added: "If the Russians have some thing new, we'd like to know about it."
 Meanwhile, physicians at the University of California Hospital reported that the use of radioac- tive phosphorus, a product of the atom-smashing cyclotron, has been a big help in diagnosing breast cancer.
 No curative virtue is claimed, but the physicians said that it will enable them to detect cancer in time to attack the tumor in other ways, including surgery.

u. S. Weiqhs Estonions; Appeal to Enter

The best advice for aliens tempted
to try to crash the Nations gates is,
Don't do It,"
This comes from the Immigration
and Naturalization Service Of the
United States Department Of JUS
tice.
Enthusiastically there is much
sympathy and admiration in the
Justice Department, as elsewhere,
for aliens like the three groups Of
Estonians who, in recent weeks,
have crossed the Atlantic in 40
foot sloops in their hope that. II
they managed to reach the United
States, something might be done
to enable them to remain.
"The Estonians still have some
hope that their venture will be sue
cessful. The 48 men, women and
children remain in technical GUS
today at Miami, Fla, where they
landed, and now await the outcome
of appeals from decisions which
thus far bar them from legal ad-
mittance.
AS in the case of all aliens In
their position, they are being given
full opportunity to obtain for their
entry the cloak of legality which
would enable them, in the course
of time, to become naturalized citi-
zens. The procedure in their case,
according to the immigration and
Naturalization Service, has been
that which the law prescribes.
AS their tiny boats sailed into
Miami Harbor after three-month,
5,O00-mile voyages, they were met by
immigration inspectors.
Lacking visas, the Estonians were
given recorded hearings before
boards of special inquiry composed
of three inspectors. In each in
stance the board ruling was that
the visitors were in the United
States illegally and should be de-
ported.
However, the Estonians took ad-
vantage of the privilege-allowed all
aliens-to appeal their cases to CEN
trail Offices of the immigration and
Naturalization Service in Philadel-
phia. The service there acts as a
hearing board for the Attorney Gen.
eral. The matter now pends before
that board and, according to OH
cials, the decision there will prob
ably close the case.
If the decision there is unfavora-
BILE and the usual procedure is fol-
lowed, the Estonians will be returned
to their homeland. possibly to face
prosecution for illegal leave-taking
or worse.
Spokesman for the Estonians have
been quoted as expressing the hope,
if they are denied residence in the
Unitd States, that they might be
permitted to leave in their boats
and search for some other. haven.
It was said at the Justice Depart
ment, however, that precedent would
be against granting the request un-
less there were assurance that ad-
mittance awaited the voyagers in
their new destination, and unless
their boats were judged to be sea-
worthy and properly equipped for
such q journey.

50 Policemen Killed
And So Hurt in Riots
In Southern Korea
~ tho A.soe;ot.d Pres,

SEOUL, Korea. Oct. 5.-The Ko-
rean national police announced that
SO policemen were killed, so wound
ed and 100 missing in four days of
widespread rioting in Southeastern
Korea. The disorders were slowly
being put down today.
The uprisings were blamed on
Communist agitators by Korean Of
fetal sources and on vicious agita-
tors from outside" by 1t. Gen. John
r. Hodge, commandant of United

Southern Korea.
American military police clapped
martial law on the provinse Of
Kyongsan Pukto and placed heavy
guards along the Seoul -Fusah rail-
way that runs through the prov

casualties, as the crowds fed on
their approach but continued to at
tack Korean policemen.
The outbreaks, starting Wednes-
day., centered at Taikyu (Taegu) /,
200 miles southeast of Seoul.
Police Director P. o. Chough,
who announced the police casualties,
said the only report he had of ci-
villain casualties listed seven dead
at the town of Waikan (Waegwan) /.
The rioters evidently concealed most
of their dead and wounded.
Gen. Hodges headquarters an
nounced a few days before the out
break that it had discovered a Com
munist plot, originating in Russian
occupied Northern Korea, to try to
discredit and drive out American
occupation forces.
Korean sources said the rioters
attacked the Korean police on the
grounds that they were representa-
tiyeS of the Americans.
