STUDY CANCER
CONTROL u OF d
Grants Fund For Continued
Research by DR.. Mary
A. Russell
THIRD GRANT RECEIVED

The Atomic Energy Commission
has granted, through the Office of
Naval Research, a fund to the Uni
versity of Delaware for continued
research by DR.. Mary A. Russell on
a project with potential signif-
canoe in cancer control.
The project involves a COMPARE
son of the effects of x-rays, neu-
irons and mustard compounds on
the growth and development of
corn seedlings. Work on it has
been in progress for some time at
the University's Departmnt of Bio
logical Sciences, where DR.. Russell
is an instructor.
Studies on the embryonic de-
velopment of corn seedlings" said
DR.. James C. Kakavas, chairman
of biological sciences at Delaware,
s.have revealed certain growth in
reference phenomena when treat
ed with x-rays, neutrons and mus
tard gas compounds.
''The understanding of this in
reference upon actively growing
cells will enhance our knowledge
of the behavior of embryonic tissue
to physical and chemical agents.
These observations will have direct
bearing on the cancer problem
since cancerous tissue Stimulates
embryonic tissue development.
''The scope of DIR. Russells work
is very broad, and it will require
several years of continued research
to study its various phases. Defin-
ite contribution can be made in
certain phases in the coming year
through the assistance of the
Atomic Energy Commissions
grant"
In addition to the University's
own biological sciences laboratory,
the project involves use of the x
ray machine and cyclotron of the
Biochemical Research Foundation
at Newark. The cyclotron aids in
the study through utilization of
neutron radiation.
DIR. Russell, who has been asso-
ciated with the University of Del
aware since 1912, is a Phi Beta
Kappa graduate of Goucher Col
1ege, and holds her masters de-
gree and doctors degree from the
University of Pennsylvania. From
1928 to 1912, she was a research
assistant at the Biochemical Re-
search Laboratory of the Franklin
Institute, which originally was
known as the Cancer Research
Laboratory of the Graduate School
of Medicine of the University of
Pennsylvania.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion's grant is the third received
by the University of Delaware in
recent months for research allied
to cancer. The Delaware Division,
American Cancer Society, last
summer made an appropriation for
preliminary work in the Universe
ty's Physics Department on a
study of the effects of Beta rays
on living cells. More recently, the
national organization of the
American Cancer Society made a
substantial grant for the same pro-
Ject, wich is objected by DIR. Harold
Feeny, associate professor of ply
sizes. Others on the University's
staff who are engaged in research
in cancer, according to DR.. Allan
p. Co1burn, assistant to the presi-
dent and advisor on research, are
DR.. Kakavas, DR.. Vincent E. Park
er, professor of physics; DIR. Feeny
and Bruce c. Lutz, J. Mayo Green
berg, Aubrey Rotenberg, and We'll
born III. Smith, of the Physics De-
partment.

Governor Fielding L. Wright said in a recent procla-
matisn that the necessity for a strong military establish
ment necessitated the reactivating of the USO and set aside
the period from November Id to December 81 as the period
for fund raising drives. Mayor Allie S. Povall, in a similar
pgodMnation, stated that the quota for the state is $4,000,
and that the ALLEGATION for the west half of Holmes county
is Ss25. This is a small amount in comparison with the per-
souai services rendered by the USO.
The Lexington Jaycees are sponsoring the drive, but

Feeble in Defeat
Reporters Find Wallace Conference
Boring Trip into Never.Never Land

ence now. The intangibles are all
against him.
The political trade has always
been rather tolerant Of its vision
aries and even of its scoundrels
who treat it all as a game in
which everybody understands the
term. But Mr.. Wallace Is some
thing else again.
He accepted Communist sup
port in the election and he seems
always to look through Russian
eyes at our problems. This is
an uncomfortable circumstance
where a former Vice President. a
member of the cabinet of two
Presidents, is concerned. People
don't like it. He now gives, too
an impression of self-righteous-
ness, untouched by what was once
rather impish humor. And
the processes of defeat and frus-
trated ambition have hardened,
not mellowed him.
Currents Are Too Deep.
A good press conference is al
ways more or less in the nature
of a sporting event. But with
MIR. Wallace now the currents are
too deep and too contrary; nobody
enjoys it.
In the series of Progressive party
executive meetings currently going
forward Mr.. Wallace speaks ur
boldly. He says he will go on
alone if need be. to the end
spending all that he has in the
fight for his ideas. But his more
practical supporters are plunged
in gloom as they survey the ex-
chequer, the party's tarnished re-
putation and poor showing No
vember 8. And there are reports
in New York that the coldly
shrewd Representative Vito Mar.
cantonio is pulling the American
Labor party out of the Progressive
orbit.

pacts with Finland, Lithuania,
Latvia, Esthonia, Poland and Ro-
mania. All were violated when the
Soviet Union concluded contrary
pact with the German government
of Adolf Hitler. for mutual ag-
gression.
However, in seeking the pro-
lection of the United States and
the European nations currently
considering the creation of an At
lantic pact, Norway has made 1t
clear that she will reject any
agreement which would enable
her territory to be used for ag-
gression, or threat of aggression,
against the Soviet Union. II she
signs the Atlantic pact, it will be
entirely for defense. Our own
and the British interest in it also
are defensive-to assure that Nor
ways ports will not be used again
as submarine bases against us.
Threat Of Aggression"
But no Atlantic pact acceptable
to Norway would 60 into effect In
case any party to the pact ag-
gressed against the Soviets-with
or without a declaration Of war
except in response to an aegres-
sion, or threat of aggression, by
the Soviet Union against party
to the pact.
The Soviets want to know what
threat of aggression" may mean.
It should not be too difficult to

define. It would. I should think.
include the mobilization OF armies
on the frontiers OF another state;
the deployment Of aircraft over
territory in violation Of interna-
tional air rules; the demand for
the use of land. ports or airf1elds
in contradiction to existing trea-
ties or the procedures Of peace
able nations and the threat OF
force to influence the internal
policies of other nations.
Can't Trust Soviet Word.
But, accepting the thesis that
the Atlantic pact is an alliance
mutually to resist aggression. and
threat of aggression, what should
hinder Norway from also signing
a pact of nonaggression with the
Soviet Union, provided the So
viets will accept both? And If
not. why not?
For Norway to trust the word
of the U. S. S. r. as her sole pro-
lection could be suicidal. Norway
could not, of herself, successfully
repel an attack from the East.
And. if experience proves any
thing, the helplessness OF her Sit
uation may lay her open to de-
mands infringing on her inde-
pendence. Many a small country
has buckled under to avoid a war
it was sure to lose.
It would be wise, it seems to me,
to remove the temptation to
aggression, as far as possible. from
both the great powers and to try
to create for Norway, and all
Europe, a new form of highly pro-
tected neutrality. BY this is not
meant the preWar neutrality OF
the small states who depended,
futilely, on treaties alone. but a
condition that will automatically
line them all up against either
great-power aggression and give
them the protection of the non
aggressing great power.
It is, in any case. difficult to see
logical incompatibility between
Norway's joining an Atlantic de-
fense union and signing a non
aggression pact with the Soviets.
provided the latter accepts the de-
fense premises of the former. The
two treaties might even be made
identical.

never been discussed, nor has it
ever been suggested by any re-

not only a feeble percentage OF

his party has no real base, not
even the Negroes he tried SO hard
to get.
Actually it does not matter
very much these days about Mr.
Wallace. He can become con-
sequential again only in case OF
two big ifs: If there is major de-
preston and If aggressive war ap-
proaches dangerously close. Even
under those circumstances. specu-

must be qualified.
Intangibles Against Him.
For Mr.. Wallace to become
powerful, the White House and
Congress would have to sit su-
pinely by and let the depression
run its course. which is highly
improbable. And the war. to ele-
vate Mr.. Wallace as a leader
would have to be clearly due tc
our own aggressive acts, which Is
just as unlikely.
But these are not really the
reasons why Wallace press con-
ference is an unpleasing expert
