Health Officer Tells
OF Cancer Progress

Doctor Felix j.. Underwood.
State Health Officer, has just re-
turned from the National meet
ing of the American Cancer So
eiety IN New York. He says that
while no new cures for cancer
have come to light, "a good deal
of progress evidently is being
made in detection and diagnosis,
and many lives are being saved
with early treatment by surgery
and dariation."
Doctor Underwood said that
among the highlights of the meet
ing was a report by DR.. Ryojun

scientist, who had discovered a
new rat cancer apparently virus
caused. This report gave new inn

that cancer strikes most COM

and that medical science had con-
quered infectious diseases there
by increasing mans life span.
DR.. John r. Heller, director of
the National Cancer institute,
told the meeting that new studies
are being made to identify and
eliminate cancer hazards in in

Doctor Underwood said that

There is a long way to go be-

Friend to Friend
THE letters in the New Tesla
l ment are of various kinds. The
letter to the Philippians from Paul
was written from prison. to some
of his best friends. Recently they
had sent him not only money but
a man named Epaphroditus to stay
with Paul and help him, Paul being
in constant bad health. But Epa-
phroditus himself had fallen i'll. and
when he grew better he was still
homesick.
Paul, generous as always, decid,
ed to send his sick friend home to
convalesce, and by his hand sent
the letter which the Philippian
church loved, saved and copied. SO
that it eventually made its way
into the New Testament collection.

Yesterday in Television

THESE letters that have come
L down to us from so long ago are
not only keenly interesting, they
are immensely valuable. An honest
informal letter is like an open win
dow. We see into the writer's mind
and life, we see the life of his
times. Any historian feels lucky
when he lights on a packet Of old
letters. Here is yesterday in tele.
vision.
The letters Of the New Testa-
ment, especially Paul's, are not
propaganda literature. Paul
was not writing for publication
or for posterity. He would be
bothered by q problem; he
would think and pray about II.
and then he would sit down and
write about II.
However trivial. the problem
might SEEM, such as a local church
quarrel. Paul never wrote trivially
about it. He would pour out his
mind on papyrus. usually debating
his letters to a secretary and some
times so fast that the secretary OBJ
viously had a hard time keeping up.

Power Shortage Seen.

The Administration challenges
these cuts with some very arresting
statements. It argues initially that
its agencies can't do their job If
they are so crippled. 1t goes on
to assert that actually a serious
Nationwide shortage of power
exists; that there is not now a
single place in the country where
you can locate any sizable new in
dustrial load.
This would be bad enough in
normal times, 1t is contended, but
in the present state of world affairs
with preparedness program on the
way, 1t amounts to criminal negIi-
gence to curb power production.
Mr.. Buchanan's appointment re-
presents drastic Intervention by
President Truman to head off the
natural gas grab. The President
discovered during discussion of the
Moore Ridley bill that his previous
nominee for the FPC, Burton Behl-
ing, held views which would have

suits. The FPC Is currently divided
% on the issues involved.
Withdrew Name.
The President calmly withdrew
Mr.. Behling's name. He asked
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania only
one question about Mr.. Buchanan.
"Is he consumer minded? III take
him."
Power is also at issue in the
fight over renewing the terms of
the Atomic Energy Commission.
That commission, properly run,
will inevitably find some way of
producing cheaper power. Great
questions will then arise OF when,
how fast, where and who makes a
profit. Private power interests and
those who agree with them would
prefer to see Chairman Lilienthal,
ex-TVA, back in private life at that
point-he also is consumer minded.

sent to Athens to supervise instruc-
ton of the army, and also to advise
the general staff on modern combat
tactics and strategy A few weeks
later another grand offensive was
announced, but this, too, was fruit
less.
1t is true that the guerrillas com
manded by Markos Vafiades are
elusive and have ample freedom to
withdraw across the mountains into
Albania and Yugoslavia whenever
they are faced by a superior force
But, according to unbiased observers
who have watched military develop
ments from close quarters, the Greek
Army does not want to engage in
an all-out fight, because it has nc
confidence that Greece can be saved
from the iron curtain.
Red Propaganda Succeeding.
Communist propaganda, which
tells the loyalists soldiers that their
anticommunism will not be held
against them if they fight slowly
has been highly successful. Many
Greek officers and soldiers, who for
many years have seen frequent,
drastic political changes. feel that if
the Communists win they will be
less likely to get hard labor in a
concentration camp-or the firing
squad-by obeying Communist or
ders than by fighting real war. Like
many other Greeks, they have little
faith in a dog g-eat-dog administra-
ton at this time of grave crisis.
The recent battle for political su-
premacy between Premier Themis-
tocles Sophoulis and Deputy Pre-
mier Constantin Tsaldaris is a typ
ical example. The two men were
persuaded-by the strong urgings
of the American Government-to
form coalition government last
fall. This pistol-point political mar
riage lasted seven months and now
is being dissolved. &.
The heads of the leading Greek
political parties were not able to
keep company for longer time,
despite the seriousness of the situa-
ton. Once more they are fighting
for supremacy, forgetting that both
of them would join political ref
ugees abroad if Greece's defense
collapsed.
These dog fights between the poll
ticianS have devastating effect on
the morale of the rest of the popu-
lation. and particularly on the
armed forces, which are beginning
to doubt that there is any point in
continuing to fight for a government
which seems chiefly interested in
the selfish purposes of individuals
at the top.
