Longshoremen Won't Load
Cargo on YugosIav Ship
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 16.-Cargo for
Yugoslav vessel-which longshore-
men refused to load after they found
portraits of Stain and Tito on the
ship-remained on a Brooklyn pier
today.
"If it's Joe's stuff" said one dock
worker, '1et him come over and load
it himself"
The 10,000-ton passenger-cargo
ship, the Radnik, originally was
scheduled to sail at noon today with
a cargo including food, automobiles,
trucks, jeeps and ambulances.
Sixty-three dock hands, members
Of the AFL International Longshore-
mems Union, quit loading the ship
Yesterday.
Joseph P. Ryan, international
union president, said the union did
not "condone the stoppage' since
the people we have working agree
ments with don't own the ship"
Two ambulances consigned to the
ship bore the label: ITO the Yugo-
slav Red Cross from the American
Committee for Yugoslav Relief"
| Zlatko Balokovic, president Of the
relief organization, said the cargo
also included medicines, food and
other relief materials" He wired
Mr.. Ryan asking that the goods be
loaded without delay"

Of getting powerful radiation directly
into the cancerous tissue. Some
successes have been claimed, but the
value of the procedure still is high
ly debatable.
Up to now there has been no
means of getting exploding iodine,
or any other radioactive isotope
with the requisite type of radiation
and length of life, into any other
part of the body in sufficient con-
centrations to do much good.
But the new development, Mr.
Strauss says he learned from DR.
Rhoads, means that a method OF
concentrating any amount OF iodine
in any tissue or organ of the body
has been discovered. DR.. Rhoads
told him, he said, that the results to
date are quite impressive, although
entirely preliminary, and that the
method is extremely complex.
Holds Out Hope for Cure.
Asked by reporters if the new
method holds out promise for cure
of cancer, Mr.. Strauss replied that
1T holes out hope"
Mr.. Strauss received the report
from DR.. Rhoads in his capacity as
a trustee of Memorial Hospital His
testimony was before a group study
ing requests of the Atomic Energy
Commission for restoration OF
House cuts in commission appropria-
tions for the next fiscal year.
In New York, the hospital said In
a statement:
"The evidence of DR.. David Press
man indicates that means for di-
recting iodine 131 in tissues or or
gans of the body other than the
thyroid probably has been discov-
cred. To date only one tissue has
been used, the kidney and this only
lin experimental animals-mice and
rats"
DR.. Rhoads explained the prin-
ciple of the new use of iodine at
the dedication of the Sloan-Ketter-
ing Institute several weeks ago.
Serum Treated With Iodine.
He said the kidney of rat was
ground and injected into rabbit,
In the rabbit the foreign tissue pro-
duced what are known as anti
bodies. These are chemical sub
stances appearing in the blood. The
serum, that is, the watery portion
of the blood, then was removed
from the rabbit and treated with
radioactive iodine.
When this serum was injected
into rats, the antibodies all went
to the kidneys of these animals. So
did the iodine that was attached to
the antibodies.
DR.. Rhoads said the next expert
ment would be to take cancer It's
sue, inject it into an animal of a
different species, get the antibodies
that came from such injection. and
then tie radioactive iodine to these
antibodies. Presumably when the
antibodies were injected back into
the species of animals from which
the cancer came, they would con-
centrate in the cancer

Radioactive Iodine
Holds New Hope for
Cancer Treatment

A technique by which radioactive
iodine can be concentrated in any
internal organ with a cancerous
growth is being developed at Memo
rial Hospital in New York, Lewis
L. Strauss, member of the Atomic
Energy Commission, told a Senate
Appropriations Committee subcom-
mittee yesterday.
This development was reported to
him, he said, by DR.. Cornelius P.
Rhoads, director of the Sloan-Ket-
tering Institute at Memorial Hos
pital. This group is concentrating
on cancer problems.
Mr.. Strauss had no detSils con-
cerning the technique. but said that
he was told it holds out high hope
for treatment of some forms of can
GER, other than those of the thyroid
gland for which radioactive iodine
has been used for the past three
years.

Breakfast is an important meal

quate food after going without

First question many ask is what
what makes a good breakfast.
The answer lies in whether a
good light or a good heavy break
fast is wanted. For light break
fast try fruit, cereal or bread and
a beverage. A little heavier meal
would consist of fruit, cereal or
bread, eggs and beverage.
Fruits are recommended in

fruits help prevent constipation

MORE LIGHT

Lights around the house often

when evenings are longer. The

increased Simply by arranging for

cording to home electrification

White or light colors reflect
light but dark colors absorb it.
So lamp shade which is dark
inside actually wastes light. A
white paper lining or a coat of
white paint or even white shoe
polish on the inside may double
or triple the light given off.
The shape of the shade counts,
too, in the amount of light shed.

The height of the lamp also is
important. A short floor lamp
about As inches from floor to
bottom of shade, for example
is usually better than tall one
because the light source is near
er the book or other place where
ample light is needed. A table,

Behind The Scenes In
AMERICAN BUSINESS
by KNIGHT

NEW YORK, May II - The U. ).
is finally getting its building boom.
Right after the war, everyone ex-
pected the home building industry
to set the pace for all U. S. business.
But high prices and shortages check
ed its flight in mid-air. Then last
and adjustments.
Now comes the report from Off
cial sources that $4,000 new units
were started in the first quarter OF
1913, a gain of IS per cent over the
similar 1947 period. At this rate,
there is every reason to believe that
$50, 900 privately financed homes
will be built this year. That is more
than a boom - that is a record.
For % years now, 1925 has stood
as the highwater mark OF building
activity. In 1925. the U. S. built 937,-
600 homes. and in the SOS, 1t did
not seem as though that mark would
ever be challenged. But judging
from the pace Of the first quarter,
it looks as though 1913 will finally
see the old record broken.
STAY-AT-HOMES - Americans
are not only building more homes -
they even plan to stay in them.
A survey conducted by the Tile
Council of American at the Nation
al Home Show in New York dis
closed that the all-purpose utility
room, just a CLEAN in architects
eyes a few years ago, is in high IA
vor with suburban and rural home
buyers and renters. More than 10
per cent of 900 show visitors polled
said they planned to build utility
rooms in new homes or add them to
old ones. This, the Council says,
reveals a growing appreciation for
the complete" and self-contained

house providing many facilities
available until recently only outside
the home. With sanitary, waterproof
floor and wall coverings such as
ceramic tile, most utility rooms
now serve as laundries and work
shops as well as playrooms and
party rooms. This means less re-
lance on outside factors in running
the home. Such innovations as tele-
vision and rumpus room also mean
less reliance on outside entertain
ment. The result Is more working
and recreation hours spent at home.
