That's what these two stars have found.
But which one is going to get the Oscar?
0NE of the two girls on this page - Jane Wyman
~ or Olivia de Havilland will win the top Holly
wood Oscar this year. We put ourselves out on
forked limb to make this prediction before the
nominations are in. But that's how Hollywood is
betting, too.
It's a -and-neck race, with international
rooters shouting instructions to the judges. Miss
Wyman has been honored by the London critics;
Miss de Havilland has won the New York critics
award.
And here's the amazing part of it, the roles that
put the two girls into top running were such as the
average movie queen would not touch with lO-foot
pole No glamour at all.
Miss Wyman in Johnny Belinda, plays drab
deaf-mute with uncompromising realism. Miss
de Havilland in Snake Pit" is similarly unsqueam-
sh as the inmate of lunatic asylum. Confounding
all precedent, both pictures have done we'll at the
box office.
Which one will win the Oscar? The bets on this
are few
Olivia de Havillands performance was the more
striking one perhaps. But sentiment rules strongly
in the Academy awards. Miss de Havilland is
veteran actress, owns one Oscar already Miss
Wyman has never really had her chance She has
kicked around Hollywood for more than decade
in scores of Indifferent parts and pictures.
Well, this year. whichever one wins. it will be a
rank injustice to the other. LOUIS berg

New Drug Reported
Which Halls Growth
OF Cancer in Mice

A new drug which can halt or
slow cancer growths in mice has
been reported at the 40th annual
meeting of the American Associa-
ton for Cancer Research at De-
troit.
At the same conference. another
group of scientists reported they
have succeeded in isolating q
breast cancer virus in mice. Ca
pable of causing the disease when
it is injected into cancer-free mice.
DR.. George w. Kidder, associate
professor Of biology at Amherst
College. outlined experiments with
the drug, a substance called guam
azolo. which apparently affects
only cancer cells. Normal cells OF
the body, the scientist reported,
don't need the substance for
growth.
Growth Is Blocked.
The drug. he said. Is just slightly
different from another chemical,
guanine, which cancer cells in
mice apparently need to grow and
multiply. But If they get gauna-
zolo instead. the growth is blocked.
The cancers in mice started grow
ing again when the drug was with
held, and the same kind of can
GERS In untreated mice kept grow
ing.
DR.. Kidder said it is not known
whether the drug will work In
humans and that more research
on animals must be completed be-
fore it can be tried on humans.
In the other report, DR.. Samuel
Graf. biochemist. outlined
yesterday the important breast
cancer virus isolation on behalf
Of q group from Columbia Uni
versity.
Breast cancer in mice. he said,
closely resembles human breast
cancer, a common form of the dis
ease which attacks about one in
every Is women.
Virus Isolated.
The 12-year study succeeded in
isolating the virus from the &C
tual milk Of mice, nearly all of
which developed breast cancer
late in life. It has not been de-
termined whether there Is a milk
factor in human breast cancer,
but the Columbia group is study
ing the possibilities of a human
study to ind out, 1t was an
nounced.
When the virus was injected
into mice normally not susceptible
to breast cancer, the disease ap-
peared. DR.. Graf reported. The
virus also was taken from the
milk Of mice in which the disease
had been induced by foster -nurs-
ing-showing the virus is trans
mitted from mother to offspring
through the milk.
The disease, the scientists de-
clared, was produced either by
mouth feeding or by injection and
can be induced into any family
Of mice-even the males.
DR.. Graf said 1t has been known
for many years the disease In mice
can be transplanted, but that iso-
lation of the agent causing it was
necessary for further progress.
With the virus isolated. he said,
the research team now is turning
to immunological experiments to
hunt for possible diagnostic and
treatment methods.
To get the large amounts Of
mouse milk necessary for the
studies scientists formed a mouse
dairy" atop the Columbia-Presby-
terrain Medical Center In New
York, containing more than 10000
mice.

Ford Workers Vote To Strike If Necessary

DETROIT, (P0 - Ford workers in Michigan voted overwhelming ly to strike if necessary to get pensions, health benefits and a wage increase.
 The state labor mediation board reported yesterday that 65,001 voted for a strike and 9,549 against. This was a 7-l majority.
 The three-day election, required by state law, cleared away the last legal obstacle to a strike of Ford Motor Co.'s 100000 hourly rate production employees, 80,000 of whom work in Michigan. The election was asked by the CIO JAW.
 JAW president Walter Reuther said there would be no immediate Walkout.
 The vote almost exactly corre- spends to the results of a nation wide union-conducted strike cleo ton in Ford plants. That election, held in July, resulted in a 7-1 ma jority for the JAW.

WASHINGTON, (P)-A report that Mrs. Harry s. Truman was among notables who received deep freezers from a concern figuring in the Senate's five percenter in- quiry today brought this reply from Presidential ecretary Charles c. Ross,
 ''I have no information what ever about that"
 Ross was told, news story said, Mrs. Truman, along with Chief Vinson, secretary of the treasury Snyder, James K. Vardaman, fed eral sererve board governor, and George E. Allen, former REC member and Presidential intimate also received deep freeze units.
 'I know nothing whatever about that, either" Ross said when the other names were mentioned.
 Vinson left a White House cab inet meeting a few minutes later and told reporters that since the Senate investigation committee is making an inquiry, 'I believe I prefer the matter be developed by the committee"
 ''I feel I ought not to make any statement" the chief justice said.
 There was no immediate com ment from any of the others.

Gruening Blasts At PostPoning Of Alaska Defenses

ANCHORAGE, (P) Gov. Err nest Gruening charged yesterday that Congress is perpetuating Alaske "as Americas Achilles heel" In a press statement, the governor termed as nothing short of unbelievable" the decision of the U. s. House of Representatives to shelve the military appropria- tion bill carrying $137, ,738,7l2 for Alaskan defense construction next year.
 Gruening said Alaska could be taken tomorrow by a minor-scale airborne invasion.
 While Congress has just ap- proved $5,797, 100000 appropria- ton for Europe to check the ad- vance of communist totalitarian- ism across the Atlantic, three or four thousand miles away" he said, ''it denies less than two and one-half per cent of that sum for the long overdue defense cOnStruC- ton of our own American terri tory just 54 miles away from our police-state neighbOr."
 Instead of having made Alas ka impregnable as a bulWark for the United States and for the western hemisphere, the Congress is perpetuating it as Americas Achilles Heel.
 Tt was the only part of Amer ica invaded by the enemy during World War II.

Quiet Voice Works Where Tear Gas
 And Violence Fail

STEILACOON, Wash. (P)-The quiet, persuasive voice of a Ia coma doctor early today talked a rampaging steelWorker out of a house in which a woman had died possibly violently.
 Fourteen peace officers using tear gas and billy clubs had failed in a three-hour effort to bring him out.
 The steelWorker was John Da- wis, 43, and the dead woman was identified tentatively as Mrs. Ar lene Stone, 47, both of Tacoma.
 Davis was being held in the Pierce county jail.

Produce, Spuds Expected To Show Record Yields
Palmer Frontiersman)

VI oltioih
 Cutworms and pessimists to the contrary, early indications are for a bumper crop of produce and po- tatoes in the Matanuska Valley, it was agreed this week by James Wilson and Harold Stephan of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Coop erating association. The pair, Co., op manager and head of the pro- duce department respectively, say unseasonal rains have been a boon which have produced particularly fine crops of cabbage, lettuse and celery.
 Manager Wilson was especially optimistic in his outlook. 'If we get the harvest of produce it ap- pears that we will and if the milk and egg production holds up as it gives evidence of doing, farmers this year will have added almost a million dollars of new wealth in the Matanuska Valley" he said.
