Col. .yJorge Maldonado, defense

the news of the latters resignation
in a communique sent to military
commanders of both forces:
"Col. Mancheno resigned today.
The undersigned presented his res
ignation as defense minister, but as
a colonel of the republic, and as a

Defense Minister in Charge.
Earlier, a broadcast from the
counter Revolutionary base at Ibarra
in Northern Ecuador said two OFF,
cials of Col. Mancheno's govern
ment, Labor Minister Luis Maldon-
ado Tamayo and Public Works Min
lister Gabriel Norona had come there
to negotiate with counter-revolu-
tionary leaders.
Col. Mancheno's precarious posi-
ton became apparent yesterday
when the former defense minister
was reported to have taken personal
command of his embattled forces.
The counter revolution started
Saturday at Riobamba, ITO miles
south otfQuito, and gained momen-
tum as garrison after garrison in
kew cities along the main railway
line to Quito swung over to the anti
Mancheno banner.
Severest blow to Col. Mancheno's
forces was the news yesterday that
the garrison at Guayaquil, largest
city in Ecuador, had Joined the
counter revolutionaries.
The Guayaquil garrison took its
stand after Julio Moreno Espinoza
Col. Manchenos minister OF govern
ment, advanced proposal under
which the Mancheno regime would
continue until February, 1948, when
a constituent assembly would be
held.
Moreno Espinoza's proposal was
refused, and he was arrested as he
was boarding a plane for Quito.
From Ambato, 10 miles south OF
Quito. the counter revolutionaries
hroadcast a declaration during the
day that they had defeated Col
Mancheno forces decisively in a six
hour battle there, apparently open
ing the way to the capital from the
south as other forces moved in from

Ghosts Cast Votes
In Kansas City in AZ,
Prosecution Charges
eY the Asseeiatsd Press

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 3.-Richard
K. Phelps, special Assistant Attor-
ney General, charged yesterday that
"stiffs and ghosts were loaded into
motor cars and carried from one
precinct to another from central
clearing stations" in the 1916 pri-
mary election in Kansas City.
He made the statement as he
opened the Governments case
against five defendants, the first to
go on trial as a result of a grand
jury's investigation of alleged irreg-
ularities in the election.
These voters, Mrs. Phelps told a
Federal Court jury of II men and 1
alternate, carried cards showing
the names of registered voters who
were not expected to appear at the
polls.
The cards, he charged, had been
collected and delivered earlier to
Morris (Snag) Klein, a Pendergast
organization precinct captain in the
10th precinct of the first ward.
Klein and his co-defendants are
charged with conspiring to injure
and Cypress legal and qualified
voters and with permitting a dis
honest and fraudulent count of the
ballots.
On trial with him are Henry
Burke, deputy sheriff and Democra-
tic precinct worker; John Melham,
Democratic election judge; Frank l..
Holmes, Democratic precinct work.

lieved this Government would have
to take hard look" at the prob
lem before the end of the year.
Mr.. Lovett admitted that loans
from the World Bank and the Ex-
rt-Import Bank could not meet
the entire problem.
The best American observers
abroad have been reporting at an
increasing rate on the urgency OF
the situation, he said.
These reports emphasize rapid
economic deterioration in many Eu-
ropean countries, with reserves OF
food and fuel and dollars to buy
them running out. The results would
be very severe, he declared.
Poor Harvests in Europe.
He said the crisis was coming on
faster than anticipated because OF
many factors, including poor har-
vests in some European countries.
He mentioned that France has its
worst wheat crop since Napo-
Icons time. He also pointed out that
unusually severe weather last winter
had put an unexpected strain on
British economy.
Mr.. Lovett said that III addition
to such misfortune, perhaps mac
curate original estimates and a Ger
tain amount of human frallty IN
MANAGEMENT might be blamed for
European reserves running out
sooner than had been expected.
Recalling that President Truman
had invited Latin American nations
to join in extending aid to Europe in
his speech at Rio de Janeiro, Mr..
Lovett said some of the other Ameri-
can nations might very well be in a
position to be of considerable help.
Currency Pool Considered.
Asked if there was any way for
United States commercial bankers
to come into the picture, he pointed
out that some private loans already
have been made to some European
countries and that private bankers
are indirectly supplying much of the
World Banks lending funds through
buying its securities.
This Government, Mr.. Lovett said
in response to other questions, is
giving some study to proposals for
Western European currency pool.
Such a pool would be designed to
facilitate the convertibility of Euro
pean currencies into dollars.
Mr.. Lovett said what Is being
studied is some way of putting a
recognized value behind the Euro
pean currencies.,

New Cancer Surgery
Avoids Cutting Away
OF Healthy Tissue
By the Associofed Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-A tandem
operation, combining chemistry, sur
gerry and the microscope, to elimi-
nate some cancers without taking
healthy tissue was demonstrated to-
day by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs Of the
University of Wisconsin Medical
School.
This method often avoids excessive
defects after operations for cancer
of the lips, nose, ears or other
readily accessible portions of the
body, DR.. Mohs said. ~.
He exhibited the technique at the
fourth international Cancer Re-
search Congress.
In one case, the eye was saved in a
man whose cancer extended deep
beside and around the eyeball, he
said.
Chemistry Used First.
Chemistry Is used first. A prepa-
ration containing zinc chloride is put
over the tuner area. It penetrates
into the tissue, hardening thin
layer of tissue. Twenty-four hours
later this is cut out. Then under
the microscope the exact areas af-
fected by cancer can be located.
The chemical kills cancer cells, but
they still can be seen microscopically
and a map" of cancer spots can be
drawn.
The cancer areas are treated again
with the chemical and another layer
removed. This continues until all
the cancer cells are taken out. The
operation may require removal from
few to more than a dozen layers If
the cancer is deep. In some cases
the cancer may extend several
inches beneath the surface of the
skin.
Without exact knowledge of where
the cancer sells are, surgeons often
must take considerable amounts of
healthy tissue, too, and yet not be
certain of having gotten all the
cancer, DR.. Mohs said.
Greater Success Reported.
Mortality in operations is virtually
Zero. he added, and rates of cure
are higher than any reported for
similar cancers Ct the skin treated
by other methods. The method also
can be used successfully in some
cases which ordinarily would be con-
sidered not operable, or incurable
by radium or X-ray treatment.
In 10 years a person who smokes
a pack of cigarettes a day inhales
eight quarts of tar substances able
to produce cancer, DR.. A. c. Ivy, vice
president of the university OF Ill
inois, said today.
But, he added in an interview, no
evidence has definitely been found
yet that smokers get more cancer
of the lungs than nonsmokers.
Many chemical substances are
known which even in small amounts
will produce cancer in animals, and
sometimes in humans. These are
called carcinogens. The pack-a-day
smoker gets eight quarts of CARGO
genie tar in decade, DR.. Ivy said.
Perhaps, he added, this demon
strates amazing resistance to cancer

Flood Of Applications
Curbs Chances Of DUTY
In Air Force Reserve

Air force reserve officers and en-
listed men of the Washington area
who are still looking forward to a
period of active duty this season
had better change their plans.
According to officers of the 443d
Air Force Base Unit at Andrews
Field, they are receiving about 10
times as many applications for the
remaining training periods as can
be accommodated under the small
quota given them by 18th Air Force
headquarters in Harrisburg, Pa. No
more applications can be accepted
under their present quota, they said.
Typical of the many hundreds of
disappointed applicants is Maj.
Milton F.. Sadler, 1888, South
Twenty eighth street, darlington,
Va. On about August 8, Maj. Sadler
received a lengthy circular explain
ing the reserve training program in
detail and urging him to send in
his application for one of 15-day
training periods between July Z and
September 80. He did so.
Restrictions Cited.
When Maj. Sadler received notifi-
cation several days later that his
application for active duty could not
be accepted because of certain re-
strictions from higher headquar
ters,' he tried to find out through
the Reserve Officers Association
what these restrictions were.
He discovered he was the victim OF
what was termed an unfortunate
public relations program for the Re-
serve training course. Capt. Michael
F. Ognisey, operations officer o1
the Andrews Field Reserve unit, said
the first two training periods had
been undersubscribed Eleventh Ali
Force Headquarters had then re-
screened the entire District area
sending out letters such as that re-
ceiyed by Maj. Sadler to increase
the number of applications.
% The trouble started, Capt. Og-
nisey explained, when applications
began to pour in far in excess OF
what had been expected.
1--WE haven't actually counted
them," Capt Ognisey said. "All ]
know is that we've been completely
swamped. I'd say we had 10 times
as many applications as we could
take"
Units Quota 260.
He explained the total quota for
the unit is 260 enlisted men and Of
ficers. which must be spread over
the summer with roughly an equal
number for each of the six training
periods.
Col. Charles M. Boyer, assistant
executive director of the Reserve OF.
ficers' Association, pointed >out the
quota for individual areas is de-
termined by the budgetary limita.
tions of the Reserve as whole.
"The War Department" he said
asked for only $56,000,00O to trair
q total of $4,000 reservists in the
whole United States. We got Con.
gress finally to add another $12 2,000,.
600 to that figure, which still works
out to "a pitifully small amount tt
train each man. Compared to the
number of men who would partici.
pate in any adequate program, the
setup as it stands now doesn't make
much sense. It's not too hard tt
