today were directed more toward
military assistance.
Describing Berlin as the "key-
stone of the arch" in Europe,
Senator Thomas said if the United
States moved out Of that city it
would SO weaken the morale Of
the Western democracies that
Russia would take over all the way
to the English Channel.
Pointing out that there are no
governments in Africa or Central
America capable of standing in
Russia's path, the Senator said If
that happened, Eve would find
ourselves surrounded very shortly
by a communistic world. We
could either fight or surrender,
and it would be too late to fight
So we have got to stay in Berlin. .
Senator Thomas said the Rus
slams "outsmarted us in Europe
by getting control at the close OF
the war over the areas surrounding
both Berlin and Vienna, as well as
a Russian sector in each city.
Somebody was overlooking a
point when they permitted Russis
to surround those two vital cities,
he said.
Senator Robertson came forward
with a definite limit Of $2,500,.

A small group of doctors,

said may introduce new concept

DR.. r. Layman Sexton, chief of

a nearby table.
In a circular patch of light
taking up half the screen. the
stomach lining could be clearly
seen, pulsating constantly with
the patients heartbeat.
AS DR.. Sexton moved the scope
to other parts of the stomach and
pumped air into the cavity to keep

Senator Thomas Still Thinks
Swedes Neglected u. S. Group

Senator Elmer Thomas, Demo-
Icrat, of Oklahoma today stood by
his criticism of the reception given
his Senate Appropriations Sub
committee in Sweden on its re-
cent tour of Europe, but conceded
he probably was not diplomatic in
doing so.
Not being diplomat. prob
ably said things I shouldn't have
said. but nobody disputes I told
the truth the tall, white-haired
Oklahoman told press confer
ence. He returned to Washington
yesterday.
After describing in detail the
cooperation his group was given
at all other stops, he said of
Sweden:
They didn't do q thing dis
courteous to us-they just didn't
do anything
Further Aid Opposed.
A reporter asked If he regarded
not doing anything as dis
courteous.
|. IT did. but some of the OTHERS
apparently did not" Senator
Thomas replied.
After leaving Sweden. Senator
Thomas had told reporters that
he would oppose any further
American financial aid for Sweden.
Senator Thomas said the trip
cost him $500 out Of his own
pocket, although the tour was an
official one, to give the Appropria-
ton Committee a first-hand re-
port on how American aid funds
are being spent abroad. He said
it cost him that much despite the
fact the group travelled in a mill
tary plane and that the Senate
paid some of the routine expenses.
To illustrate how it hit his own
pocketbook,. the Senator said that
just before the group left London
to come here cocktail party was
arranged for the Embassy staff
and other officials in London.
THAT cost me $780," Senator
Thomas said, but hastened to OBJ
serve that was not unreasonable
because rs persons attended.
"I'll bet you didn't pick up the
check in Luxembourg?" girl
reporter interrupted.
Mrs. Mesta Entertains.
That's right" Senator Thomas
replied, explaining that Mrs.

Minister to that little country,
came from Oklahoma. He said

ECA Ready to Go Along.
Meanwhile, from the executive
branch came an indication the
ECA itself is ready to go along
with some reduction, though not
as much as the Senators are dis
cussing.

Cancer Sufferers Here
To Aid Experts in New
Research Methods

An ambitious project under
which Washington cancer sufferers
will join forces with research ex-
perts to promote growth of ma
lignant tumors in test tube TASKS
was outlined at the American
Medical Association clinical meet
| ing yesterday.
DR.. Harold L. Stewart. chief of
the Pathology Section of the Ma
tional Cancer Institute, said ar
rangements are now underway to
install the project in George
Washington University's Memorial
Hospital.
Patients at the clinic will supply
the tissues, which will be grown
by the best methods known at
present-in the eyes OF guinea
pigs, in eggs and in TASKS. The lat
ter method is the most recently
developed and affords larger cul-
lures than ever before known.
Aid to Identification.
Tissue cultures, DR.. Stewart said,
quickly reveal the architecture
Iof tumor development and af-
ford a quick method Of tumor
Identification.
In the test tube flask. the tumor
growth can be speeded, and 1t is
often possible to determine the
type of the growth within week.
Once the life span and course Of
the cancerous growth is typed,
the surgeon is in a better position
to determine whether an ammedi-
ate operation should be under
taken, and, If so, the extent Of
the surgery.
The new projects will be headed
by Drs. E. D. Murphy and I. N.
Dublin of the National Cancer In
Stitute. ~
Breast Feeding Urged.
In another section Of the Clini-
cal meeting. two well known pedi-
africans Joined in urging mothers
to breast-feed their new born
babies.
DR.. Preston A. McLendon of
Washington said war brides who
married early before their back
grounds were warped by a dis
tracing and prolonged social
whirl or previous business
career" developed into better
mothers than the pre-war ma
irons
DR.. Howard j. Morrison of
Savannah, Ga. stressed the emo
tional importance of the mother
infant relationship and said bottle
fed babies are more prone to de-
yelop nightmares. speech defects,
finger-sucking and bed-wetting
habits.

she drove to Brussels to welcome
the senatorial delegation and that
he did have a luncheon check
there. The Senator said Mrs
Mesta would not take no for an
answer to her plea that the dele
cation change it's itinerary to visit
Luxembourg, so they arranged to
spend a week end there in order
not to lose time.
Getting back to his criticism OF
Sweden, Senator Thomas distri-
buted copies of an editorial he said
appeared in a Communist news
paper in. Stockholm the morning
the senatorial plane landed there.
The Senator said it warned the
Swedish government and people
to beware of the American Sena-
tors visit as an effort to speed up
Sweden's entry into the Atlantic
bloc.
Senator Thomas repeated today
one of his original criticisms, that
they tthe Swedes) haven't done
any fighting for 135 years"
Met Some Officials.
He said the American Ambas-
sador in Sweden gave the group a
dinner and that the agenda shows
there was a cocktail party at a
hotel, but he said no business was
transacted at these events.
II wouldn't say I did not meet
some officials of Sweden, I wouldn t
say there were not some at the
dinner or at the cocktail party,
but that is not what we had in
other places. We had formal
meetings with government officials
and with parliaments."
In Norway, he said he had
luncheon with the king and in
vited him to come to America.
He said the king protested that
he was too old for such a trip. but
offered to reconsider when Sena-
tor Thomas told him that ''in my
State of Oklahoma life begins at
80."
Senator Thomas said Sweden
has not shared in Marshall Plan
funds, but that he understood it
has received about 500, 900, 900
in loans from this country. Re-
garding the transportation Of the
group in a military plane, Sena-
tor Thomas said there are a good
many planes overseas, that they
must fly a certain number of
hours and that there was no diff
ference in cost to the Military
Establishment in transporting the
