Soviet prospectors on the kam-

have discovered an extensive OIL
| field. The entire area, according to
| the Moscow correspondent of Sven
ska Dagbladet of Stockholm, now is
| the scene of considerable industrial
development as a result of this dis
covery and of further prospecting
| for additional mineral wealth.
| The peninsula, which juts south
from Northeastern Siberia toward
Japan, was formerly known for its
abundance of fur bearing animals.
At the time of the Chinese overlord-
ship, 100 years ago. it supplied the
Dalai Lama with white beaver belts
which the Living Buddha" wears
during religious ceremonies.
OF late the whole of Northwestern
Siberia-facing Alaska-has been
the scene of intensive development
parelleling such United States-Ca-
! madam projects as the Alcan high
way, Arctic oil drilling and exploita-
ton of the uranium mines at Great

Earlier reports in the Swedish
press spoke of millions of colonists
brought from various parts of Euro

throughout Eastern Siberia as well
as in Sakhalin and other newly ac-
quired former japanese islands.

Preparations Similar
To CoIchichine Tried
As Cancer A1hibifor
By Thomos R. Henry
Ecienre Editnr of The Star

Nationa! Cancer Institute chem
lists now are synthesizing and test
ing large number of preparations
similar in chemical structure to
colchictine, the drug obtained from
the European crocus, by means of
which hundreds of new species of
plants have been produced in the
past few years, in an effort to find
some formula which will greatly
slow down the growth of tumors of
all sorts.
They also are tearing down the
extract obtained from the root of
the May apple, an old Indian purga-
tive, for the same purpose.
Represented as Cure.
This was revealed today when 1t
was learned that, throughout the
war, German chemists had made
startling claims of the efficacy of
colchichine as cancer cure"
The drug, formerly used as a
gout remedy, has a remarkable
effect in preventing cell division.
Any cancer is fundamentally an
abnormal cell division which pro-
ceeds much faster than that of the
normal body cells and is largely out
| of control. Colchichine, it was ex-
planned, produces a striking effect
on cancer growth with a relatively

Others Show Promise.
The derivatives from podophyllin,
obtained from the May apple root,
show some promise. The clue came
from the remarkable effects of the
drug in causing the disappearance
of certain types OF warts when in

crystalline substances have been OBJ

while the other has remarkable and
