900 next year to the support Of can
Ger detection and treatment clinics
in at least four hospitals here, 1t
was announced last night at the
organizations first annual meeting.
The cancer group has a 1948 fund
Of 100000 to carry on its educa-
tional and. research activities.
DR.. Calvin r. Klopp, secretary OF
the organization and director Of the
cancer clinic on the Garfield Hospi-
tai grounds, said the last District

$107,00 Is on Hand.
Although 40 per cent of this sum
is turned over to the American Can
Ger Society for research on a ma
tional scale, proceeds of an earlier
drive in the District bring the total
funds on hand to $107, 900.
DR.. Harry H. Kerr was reelected

in time for successful treatment.
5000 Cases Here Detected.
The recent cancer survey, he
pointed out, disclosed only about
5000 cases of cancer in the Metro
politan Area. According to the pat
tern of comparable cities, there
should be $4,000 here. The balance
of $4,000, he said, evidently do not
yet know they have the disease.
Because the cancer toll is heaviest
among older people, DR.. Mclean
recommended that every one over 40

his doctor every six months suff1-
ciently thorough to detect the dis
