Project to Probe Role
Of Environment

A new $4,000 research project to
learn whether some of the new
things science is making for comfort
and pleasure may be causing cancer
will get under way early next year
at the Georgetown University Med
ical School, it was learned today.
The project will be carried out
entirely by scientists of the National
Cancer Institute, using facilities of
the medical school, officials said.
DR.. Wilhelm Hueper of the insti-
tute, who will direct the project,
said it will be "the very first" labora-
tory study of its kind to look into
the role of environment in cancer.
Occupational Cancer Cited.
"Our purpose" Dr. Hueper said,
sis to find some of the causes of
cancer in man. There is evidence
that some are of an environmental
nature" The basis for the study,
he explained, is the evidence of oc-
cupational cancer.
DR.. John R. Heller. jr., director
of the cancer institute, disclosed
plans for the new project in an ad-
dress at the annual meeting of the
American Cancer Society yesterday
in New York.
He pointed but that nearly all
the known causes of cancer are
external-things man comes in con-
tact with in his work or normal liv-
ing. Coal tars and some arsenic
compounds for example, already are
known causes of cancer. Arsenic in
drinking water has caused cancer
of the skin, he said, and other causes
are SCOT. paraff1n oil, creosote,
nickel carbonyl benzol and some.
dyes.
Too Much Sun a Cause.
Industrial progress" he declared,
"has been marked by many new
substances contributing to the COM
fort and pleasures of life. But
these same substances have been
adding a whole new spectram of
poisons to mans hazards. Some are
carcinogenic agents-that can cause
cancer. The danger lies in the slow,
almost unnoticeable harm that
comes from contact with these
agents"
DR.. Heller said that too much sun
shine can cause cancer for fair
skinned people and that radioactive
substances are among the most dan
gerous known causes.
DR.. Hueper said State health Off
cialS will be asked to make occu-
pational cancer studies to aid the
project, and that they already are
under way in a few States.
Two Laboratories Planned.
Two large classrooms at the medi-
cal school have been transformed
into modern, air-conditioned labo-
ratory units" for the study at a cost
''in the neighborhood of $4,000 to
$50,000," he said 1t will be about
two months before the units can
be completely equipped so that work
can begin, he said. .,.--
DR.. Hueper who also is a research
associate of the medical schools De-
partment of Pathology, said the
project is in line with the feeling
that it may be cheaper to prevent
cancer than to cure it."

DEFENSE PROBLEMS
 BROUGHT TO FRONT
(Rv The Associated Press)

tBy The Associated Press)
 Defense problems are in the news today as confronting the next Congress. Defense Secretary For restal may ask Congress for more effective control of the three armed services. Forrestal and his advisers have been quietly look'no into whether the Defense Secretary should be given more power to CO., ordinate defense activities.
 The problem has been pointed up by Navy Day speeches made by Army Secretary Kenneth Royall and Army Chief of Staff Omar Bradley.
 In Des Moines, Chief of Staff Bradley declared-and these are his words-"If the armed services are to retain the trust and confidence of the American people they must put an end to their dog -eat-dog contests for a part of the taxpayers collar"
 Bradley added that the country could not stake its national de- fense requirements on a popularity contest in which glitter and glamor become more important than mili- tary judgment.

WOMAN FLIER TO GET ESCORT FROM
 JAPAN TO 5HEMYA

TOKYO, Oct. 28.-tR-Mrs. Rich ard Morrow-Tait, globe-circling English aviatrix, will have an air sea rescue plane escort on the overwater flight from Japan to the Aleutians unless she makes an official objection.
 The comedy, red-haired flier and her navigator, former RAF pilot Michael Townsend, have delayed their takeoff for Hokkaido until tomorrow. From Hokkaido they will hop to Shemya in the Aleut- ianS.
 On arrival here yesterday, Mrs. Morrow -Tait told newsmen prime objective of the round-the-world flight was to prove it can be done in a single engine plane without escort.
 However, spokesman for the Far East Airforce said today no such statement was made to them officially. He said the Airforce is preparing to escort the Morrow Tait plane, British Proctor Four, over the l,778 mile Pacific flight from Chitose Airbase, Hokkaido, to Shemya.
 The spokesman said that when and if Mrs. Morrow-Tait objects to the escort, the Airforce will consider it, but he did not know what action might be taken. The Englishwoman's plane has max imum range of 2,000 miles,
 One Airforee official explained that the United States probably would have to spend thousands oi dollars and tie up needed planes and ships in search missions should anything happen to Mrs. Morrow Tait's plane if unescorted.

BARTLETT TALKS
 TO DELEGATES AT
 AFLFU CONVENTION
Tom Moore Discusses Taft- Hartley Act . Urges
 Unity in Unions

Delegate E. L. Bartlett spoke to the first annual convention of Southeast Alaska AFL Fishing Un- ions today on fisheries conserva tion and trap elimination legisla- ton. He also discussed the need for higher level resident employ ment for Alaska workers. especially those in the fishing industry.
 Bartlett stated that he was fav- orably impressed with the reason- able attitude of the unions and added that he felt their requests, if granted, not only would better conditions for the workers but also aid in generally stabilizing condi- tions for all Alaskans in the area and in Alaska generally.
 What is good for the Alaska fisherman and cannery worker IS good for Alaska" Bartlett said.
 Moore Gives Talk
 The Delegate was the second speaker of the day. Tom Moore Executive Secretary of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor addressed the group in its morning session. He outlined the problems created by passage of the Taft Hartley Act and pointed out that these problems. while affecting the fishing and cannery unions to 8 large extent, also affected all labor Moore emphasized the need for less drastic labor legislation which, he said, docs not make good union member, a good Alaskan or a good American of worker. This type of legislation forces drastic repris- al on the part of the workers ard, in some cases, might even turn a worker toward Communism"
 Unity In Unions
 Moore also stressed the need for unity in unions and said that only through conservative and we'll planned organization could unions prevent such legislation as the 1aft-H Hartley Act.
 Those Congressmen don't know any more about unions than they read in the papers and hear from their management-minded friends, In many cases the men who voted for the Taft Hartley law are bit ing the hand that feeds them. l believe, as does our President, Will fam Green, that our national law makers are beginning to see the light and that we are due for some sensible. sound regulatory leglsia- ton which will not necessarily be repressive.'
 Delegates attending the conven' tion are MT. and Mrs. Peter Niel' sen of Sitka Mrs. Emma Mercer of Hoonah; MT. and Mrs. Walter Austin of Petersburg Mrs. Jant Field of Craig: Mrs. Julia Stevens and Mrs. Bessie Jimmie of Doug las; John H.
