Parran, Pharmacists
Add Their Support
To Drive on Cancer

The American Cancer Society's
drive for s12.0oo.o 900 to promote can
Ger research, establish diagnostic
clinics and distribute cancer infor-
nation received support from two
quarters yesterday.
DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon gen.
eral of the United States Public
Health Service, urged District resi-
dents to meet their $104 900 quota
in the campaign, which began Mon
day.
At the same time, the Nations
pharmacists decided to dedicate Ma
tionai Pharmacy Week, which be-
gins today, to public education on
the control of cancer.
Time to Attack on Other Fronts.
In the past, the surgeon general
pointed out, the country's principal
efforts have been directed toward
research. Some very useful find
ings" have been made by the Ma
tional Cancer Institute and private
research institutions, he declared.
Now we have reached the point, !"
DR.. Parran asserted, where aggres-
sive attacks can be pressed in three
other fields: training, diagnostic
clinics and health information"
He said intensive courses in the
technique Of cancer detection should
be made more accessible to spe-
cialists and general practitioners
alike, local facilities for diagnosis
should be increased, and more SCI
entific information about cancer
should be made available to the
medical profession and the general
public.
Must Have Public Support.
Scientists, private physicians and
public health agencies cannot do the
job alone" he emphasized. "If we
are to make headway against the
fearful toll of human lives which
cancer is, taking each year, we must
have the understanding and support
of the public"
DR.. Earl r. Series, president of the
American Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton, announced yesterday that more
than 10000 pharmacists throughout
the country would install displays on
cancer control and distribute cancer
information leaflets. .
We look forward to the time when
pharmaceutical and medical re-
search may produce helpful drugs to
treat cancer" DR.. Series asserted.
Meanwhile, the pharmacist assumes
an obligation in medical care to
help the public learn the facts-to
realize that even now thousands die
needlessly because medical atten-
tion is sought too late"
Douglass Poteat, executive vice
president of the American Cancer
Society, expressed appreciation for
the pharmacists support of the drive
on cancer.

Government Reports Cost
OF Electricity Declining
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Government took look at the
Nations light bill yesterday and
figured that the price of electricity
in homes and stores is one thing
that hasn't gone up.
Residential and commercial users
paid less for electricity in 1916 than
in 1945-continuing a general trend
that has been apparent for years,
the Federal Power Commission re-
ported.
The commission said that bills for
industrial consumers of power have
shown a tendency to increase.
It did its meter reading in 2O4
cities with $4,000 or more residents
and a total population of some
100000. ......
The commission said that In 100
of the cities there were reductions
last year in typical bills for residen-
tial service. It reported increases
in l3, with offsetting decreases in
some categories in eight of the 13.
The commission puts the average
residential consumption at 100 kilo-
watt hours a month. The bill for
that amount as of last January
ranged from $1.70 in Tacoma, Wash,
to $50 in Mount Vernon, New Ro-
chelle and YOnkerS. N. Y

Soldier Admits Staying
Gulf Restaurant Owner
BY thu Associated Prsss

BILOX, Miss, Aug. 16.-Pvt. John
Robert Tall, 18-year-old Keesler
Field soldier, admitted in signed
statement that he shot and killed
John Peter Rabito, Gulf Coast
restaurant operator, in a pre-dawn
holdup August 2, Police Chief Louis
Anglada said here today.
Tall, a native of Columbia. Ohio
is being held at the Biloxi jail on
charges of murder and armed
robbery.
Chief Anglada quoted Tall as
saying that he and Noahson Walters
"a, and Mrs. Marietta Walters, ar
ex-strip tease dancer, were at the
Walters home that night when
Walters told his wife that we were
going out and pull a job to rok
somebody or someplace."
Tall was quoted further as saying
the place decided upon was Mr.
Rabito's.
Mr.. Rabito was fatally shot resist
ing the holdup and died the next
day. Tall, Chief Anglada said, ther
left town on the advice of Walters
after the latter had promised te
pick him up in Mobile, 10 miles
away, for a trip to Florida.
Tall said he read in a Mobile
newspaper that Walters had beer
arrested. He then continued tc

cadres for an armed struggle against
the government, to provoke armed
foreign Intervention and to incite
sabotage.
Mr.. Petkov was signer of the
1914 armistice with the allies. When
he quit the Fatherland Front gov
ernment he charged that the Com
munist-controlled Ministry of In
terror was waging terror campaign
against all its political opponents,
beating and even killing them.
In an election two months after
he quit the government the Father
land Front presented only one list
of candidates-its own-and Mr..
Petkov urged the Agrarians to boy
colt the voting.
Front Won 366 Seats.
Another election was held October
n, 1916, and the Fatherland Front
won 366 of the National Assembly S
seats. The opposition, Mr. Petkov's
Agrarians and the smaller Lulchev
Socialists, got only 80.
Inc premier OF the present Bull
garian government is Georgi Dimi-
trov, international Communist leader
who once won acquittal in the Nazi
ReichStag fire trial.
The Communist Party's newspaper
Rabotnichesko Delo indicated yester-
day that the end of the Petkov trial
would not mean any cessation in the
drive against the Agrarians. THE
opposition Agrarian Union must be
dissolved because it is a nest of
Fascist conspiracies," the newspaper
declared.

LINCOLN. Nebr., Aug. 16.--For-
mer Gov. Sam r. McKelvie said
today he will seek a court restrain
ing order if necessary to prevent
placing of a statue Of William Jen-
nings Bryan at the main entrance
to the Nebraska statehouse.
II hadn't heard a peep about
this monstrous proposition until re-
GENTLY" Mr.. McKelvie, who was
chairman of the original commits
sion which planned the State build
ing, said. "If I had realized what
an outrage was afoot I surely would
have spoken up long ago."
Bryan, known as the "silver-
tongued orator of the Platte" in his
days of public service, was a presi-
Dental candidate three times and
served as Secretary of State. He
died 20 years ago.
Mr.. McKelvie recalled that the
capitol planning commission "felt
it was not even well to put the
statue of Abraham Lincoln" before
the main entrance of the state
house. He said he agreed with
several architects who contend a
statue placed before the main
entrance would be "architecturally
unWiSe."

Broadcast by Macy
Approved After Study
By State Department
By the AssoeIoted Pres.

Ferenc Macy, former Hungarian
Premier, got the unprecedented
right to use the official Unitde States
radio to urge boycott of Hungary's
coming elections only after careful
State Department study, it was
learned yesterday.
Mr.. Macy, forced out by a Com
munist coup, appealed to his coun-
trymen In Voice of America"
broadcast Friday night to fight "in-
ternational Communism" through
an international coalition of demo-
Gratis.
officials in charge of the radio
program said Mr.. Macy made his
request to use the official Govern
ment radio channel "some time ago."
1t was referred to State Department
policy makers for yes or no answer.
Permission was granted, officials
said, presumably because Mr.. Nagy's
boycott appeal conformed with this
country's own protest against the
plans for hungary's election.
Allowing Mr.. Macy to use the IA
cilities constituted departure from
past practice of confining the broad
cast to expressions of the United
States viewpoint by American alone.
The decision raised the possibility
of similar requests from other exiled
leaders, for example, those opposed
to the present Polish government.
The Voice of America" officials
said, however, that any such re-
quests would be handled on an in
dividual basis and be referred to
the Departments policy making
branch.
In his broadcast Mr.. Macy called
on Hungarian patriots" to battle
against international Communism
by joining with leaders of "other
forcibly dissolved peasant parties of
Southeastern Europe"
