tails OF the mice, the catalase
action returned to normal. These
results have been suostantiated
by other researchers.
The new Higgins test. scientist
believe. is additional proof that
functions of the liver are ex-
tremeiy sensitive TO the presence
OF cancer.
More important. DR.. Greenstein
pointed out, is the indication that
all cancers no matter where they
are located in the body. produce
the same fundamental effect on
the liver functions. The answer
to how these changes are brought
about would bring a much greater
understanding Of the disease.
Try To Isolate Catalase.
DR.. Greenstein feels the cata-
lase test would be effective in
humans by removing small chunks
from the human liver. But in
mice. the cancer tumors had TO
be of considerable size before the
striking change in catalase action
was noted. he said.
Scientists at the University Of
Pennsylvania now are at work TO
isolate the catalase. in order to
learn exactly what happens TO 1t
when cancer is present, DR.. Green
stein said. 1t is not known
whether the production Of the
engine is cut down or whether its
character merely is changed.
Meanwhile. carrying the Be-
thesda catalase experiments one

By George Beveridee

The new Higgins blood serum
test for cancer centers new atten-
ton on a research project reported
by scientists at the National Can
Ger Institute in Bethesda and may
spur further work on their find
ings.
The new test. which has at
tracted widespread attention. was
reported last week by DR.. Charles
B. Huggins of the University of
Chicago. It offers doctors. for the
first time, hope of a simple. ac-
curate. blood test to tell whether
there is cancer in some part OF the
human body.
Specifically. the test Is based on
the indication that, when cancer
is present anywhere in the body
there is a change in albumin, a
protein of the blood serum pro-
duced in the liver.
Earlier. using mice, the BetheS-
da scientists showed similar
phenomenon involving the liver.
When cancer tumors were
transplanted to the tails of mice,
there inevitably was change in
another liver function-the work
of an engine called catalase. The
purpose of catalaSe is to destroy
hydrogen peroxide, formed in the
| liver from amino acids, by break
ing it down to form oxygen and
water.
Tests Show Same Results.
The Bethesda experiments. car
ried on by Drs. Jesse P. Green
stein, Howard Andervont and
Julius White. used hundreds of
mice, rats and guinea pigs. al
ways with the same striking re-
suits.
The method of testing was to
take samples of the livers of mice
with tail-cancers and treat them
with hydrogen peroxide. The cata-
lase action then could be tested
by measuring the amount Of oxy-
gen liberated from the chemical.
| In all cases. it was found the cata-
lase in cancer-infected mice took
more than four times as long to
liberate oxygen as catalase in the
liver of normal mice.
And when the cancer was re-
moved by simply looping of the

Senate Probes Get
Reports Of Additional
'5-Percenier Agents
sy sts Assceiussd Press


Senate investigators sifted to-
day through fresh reports Of Five
percenters" who claim they can
help businessmen get Government
contracts.
= Senator Hoey. Democrat. OF
North Carolina, said announced
plans for looking into a deal
turned up this week by the New
York Herald Tribune had brought
in reports of similar cases. He
said they were individual in
stances" rather than large-scale
solicitations by one particular per-
son or firm.
The Senate Expenditures SUBJ
committee, headed by Senator
Hoey. started an inquiry two days
ago into the reported deal be-
tween James v. Hunt. a former
lieutenant colonel In the Army
Quartermaster Corps, and Paul
Grindle, a Framingham tMassJ
furniture manufacturer.
Mr.. Grindle said he had made
a $1,000 down payment to Mr..
Hunt for help In getting Govern
ment contracts, and also had
agreed to pay Mr.. Hunt an addi-
tional $500 a month for one year
and per cent of the gross
amount of any contracts he got.
Other Reports Received.
Other reports along this line
had come to the committee even
before the investigation, Senator
Hoey said, but he added there Is
no evidence to indicate 1t is a
wholesale" practice.
William P. Rogers, chief counsel
of the committee. said he has
talked to Mr.. Hunt and officials
in the War Assets Administration.
Mr.. Hunt was employed by War
Assets after he left the Army. He
now has Offices here as a manage
ment counselor"
Mr.. Rogers said Mr.. Hunt, who
has refused public comment, was
cooperative"
The committee staff Is making
careful check of WAA files to see
whether records there connect Mr..
Hunt with disposal of billions OF
dollars worth Of surplus property.
Disposal Of Club Described.
Reports which the National De-
fense Department receives Of ac-
tivities by so-called "five-percent-
ers' also are to be available to
the committee. Secretary Of De-
fense johnson recently asked busi-
nessmen to notify the department
of such practices.
WAA yesterday told its story
of the disposal of the Lido Beach
Club at Long Beach, N. Y, but
refused comment on reports that
Mr.. Hunt had a hand in it.
A spokesman for the agency
said the club. bought early in the
war as a Navy training center at
a cost of 100000. was sold back
to its original owners for 1858 500.
Hunts Influence Denied.
He said the difference did not
represent a loss. however. The re-
sale did not include golf course
involved in the original deal or
buildings erected at the site. WAA
said the buildings are being used
as veterans housing project.
Former WAA Chieftain Jess
Larson denied two days ago that
Mr.. Hunt had any influence in
the transaction. WAA explained
that the former owners had prior
ity to purchase itsb3 They are
