THE CANCER TEST

In Juneau all of Alaska, and elsewhere, cam paign is now being waged to fight cancer. The fol- lowing editorial, from the Washington Post IS most important right and is reprinted as is
 If all or even most of the claims made concern ing the new blood test for are sustained, the point is within sight when this terrible and mysterious disease can brought under control as smallpox dph theria and typhoid fever have been. Thus assuming the accuracy of the claims it must be counted among the great historic trumphs of medical research and second perhaps only to discovery of bacteria and thelr relationship to infectious disease Thus 1t is hardly any wonder that physicians and surgeons and many others too are waiting with intense excitement for the news from Detroit, where the dscoverer, Dr. Charles B. Huggns of Chicago, will explain the test at the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.
 Dr. Huggins' discovery does not, of cotnse, amount to a cure for cancer; but, assuming the accuracy Of what has been said concerning it. the detection of the disease in it's early and curabe stages has now possible The technique is said to be as simple and as accurate as the Wassermann test 10 syphilis, and

PANDEMONIUM IN POLITBURO

Of course the comrades ln the Politburo, being smart, probably would never let 1000 students or any other of their citizens come to this country But the point is to invite them anyway.
 If a committee of down-to-earth Americans-not the State Depart ment or the Henry Wallaceites-in- vited 1000 Russians to visit this country, it would cause consterna- tion and near-chaos behind the brick walls of the Kremlin. The Politburo wouldn't know what uo do about it.
 In the first place the Voice of America would broadcast the invi- tation direct to the Russian peo- pie, and the mere fact that the Soviet Government said mo" would cause thousands of Russians to question their government and wonder why their own leaders were against the people-to-people friendship which the Moscow Radio pretended to champion.
 The invitation should come from a mixed group of real Americans farmers, veterans, chambers of commerce, labor unions, the NAM "a true cross-section of the coun- try. It could be made so repre- sentative and so genuine that the Kremlin would have an awfully hard time turning it down-though in the end it probably would do so. But the turndown would get nois-.

Eastern Europe and Russia still re- mains. No matter what is done about the Berlin blockade, no mat ter what is agreed on at the United Nations, the danger of war continues as long as IA men in the Kremlin can declare war overnight with no senate, no press, nc church, no radio, no public opin- ion to put the brake on them.
 Obviously these lt men in the Politburo aren't going to lift the Iron Curtain and let Americans into their country-at least for the time being. But there's another way of prying the Iron Curtain partly open, and at least putting them on the spot. That is to invite 1,C00 Russian students to come to this country.
 At first blush lot of people will hold up their hands in hor- TOT and claim that we might be contaminated by Communism. If we take that point of view, how ever, we have something of an Iron Curtain ourselves. Further more, our system is plenty strong to withstand contact with a few Russians, and the smartest thing the National Association of Man. ufacturers ever did was to invite Russian composer Shostakovich to tour the U. s. A.
 Almost every Russian who has visited this country goes back flabbergasted at our wealth, our freedom and our culture Many become So entranced that they nev- CT want to go back at all.

Worth Trying, MT. AchesOn
(NeW York Times

Secretary of State Acheson has taken up phase of the labor relations problem to which too little thought may have been given. How is the public which hires people to it's government going to get the best work of them? Tactfully MT. Acheson did not mention hours pay He said the public, like other employers had right to criticize its employees Anybody can that. If hired man doesn't properly strip the COW he milks and in consequence the COW up if Secretary of State tries the match trick on unsuspecting visiting diplomats if a Secretary of the Interior plays golf and lets the interior deteriorae President rough language in public then 1t is the employers privilege to complain In public life it is the employers privilege to do this on general prn ciples just to show who is boss.
 But MT. Acheson thinks that another way to make public servant do his very best is to praise him when he does a good job. This is in line with the best modern managerial policies. Some companies give prizes for helpful suggestions Some confer bonuses on individuals departments. One doesn't know just how this principle could be applied to Cabinet members, but ti might be worth trying. We can't pin medal MT. Acheson and only Congress can raise his pay. We do think, however, that he is a good man, and if our saying so, and other people say so makes him work even harder and get even more done we will continue with the experiment

ed about, not only in Russia but throughout the world and would create adverse propaganda every where.
 Of course, organizing such pro- ject would be lot of work. But so is war a lot of work-work and blood and death. The trouble with peace heretofore is that too many people took it for granted, weren't willing to work at it. Now they are beginning to realize that peace is like matrimony. You can't drop it right after the wedding cake is cut And you can't drop peace right after the armistice treaty is signed You have to work at both every day.
 Well, I started out to write about the South, and got sidetracked. I'll be back with more on the South in another column.

ALABAMA AT ] A. NJ.

Following the dedication of h. ternational House, the irrepresslble Champ Pickens woke me up at 3 a. m. by long distance telephone in order to make sure l got to my next stop, Montgomery, in time for breakfast. And on that l20-mile drive I had a chance to do a little thinking about the way thousands of communities have reopened to people, people friendship. With out any prompting from their gov ernment, the American people have put across Friendship Trains. de- mocracy letters to Italy, exchange of students, adopted European cit ies. welcomed the Gratitude Train and put across scores of other things.
 In brief the American people are anxious and itching to do anything and everything to win the peace. They are tired of writing to Con- gressmen. They do not altogether trust Ambassadors They know that if war comes they. not the diplomats, have to do the fight ing. So now they are willing to do the working for peace.
 So thanks to his people-to-p people friendship, we have vastly strength ened our ties with France, Italy, Norway, Denmark-in fact. all Of Europe this side of the Iron Cur .ain.

and New Orleans you're not sur prised at finding international stu dent houses. But not at relatively obscure Jacksonville State Teachers College in the foothills of Ala bama However, thanks to the tire less devotion of one man, Prof. James H. Jones, Jacksonville last week dedicated an international house just as fine in its way as anything in the great cities of the north.
 Professor Jones is what you might call true servant of broth erhood. He not only raised the money to build International House, but passed the hat to bring group of students all the way from France. and send another group from Alabama over to France. The cash for this student exchange was raised not in Wall Street or Wash ington, but right here in Jackson vile and Anniston and Piedmont and the other neighboring com munities.
 When it came to building Inter- national House, all the home folks contributed. A Jacksonville plumb CT donated the bathroom fixtures. Someone else gave a refrigerator A local lumber dealer helped with the lumber. Others contributed la Dor or cash or something else, with the result that a beautiful. though modestly appointed interna- tional student center now stands on the Jacksonville campus.

Bill to Raise DIP
Quota IS Passed:
Texan Raps Jews

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = The
House of Representatives has
passed DIP immigration bill in
creasing the number of DPS who
may enter this country from 205,-
600 in two years to $4,000 in
three years.
The bill also eliminates num-
ber of features of the old DIP law
which President Truman assailed
as "anti-Semitic." The measure
now goes to the Senate.
The vote followed a lengthy and
heated debate in the House during
which opponents of the measure,
led by Rep. Ed Gossett of Texas,
made anti-Semitic assertions. Cos
sett also asked what measures
were being taken to provide for
the Volksdeutsche expelled from
Poland and Czechoslovakia and for
the Arab refugees from Palestine.
He suggested that the DPS be
sent for resettlement to Kenya, in
Central Africa.

taken care of that"
