Burned-0ut Hyndman
Sees Bright Future as
Publicity Brings Aid
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

~ NV Vss0CtotSo EtSsS
HYNDMAN, Pa, Dec. e.
There's q bright future IN the
cards today for Hyndman-scene
of q million dollar fire that wiped
out the towns business district.
The blaze last Sunday night was
Just the climax to run Of bad
luck this year that knocked the
props out from under the economy
Of this Southwestern Pennsylvania
community.
Many of Hyndman's residents
formerly were employed at the
plant Of the Celanese Corp. oil
America near Cumberland. Md,
IS miles south of here. In recent
months the plant has laid OF
nearly half its labor force.
Hyndman's biggest industry was
the Pennsylvania Lumber q Post
Co. A week ago the lumber yard
burned down. And three days
later another fire wiped out the1
other major source of revenue
the business firms which made the
town a trading center for farmersl
In the area.
State Offers Cooperation.
But the Nationwide attention.
Hyndman gained as it burned
brought more than sympathy. AS
the citizens moved to rebuild their
fire-swept community, Pennsyl-
vania's Gov. James H. Duff ordered
all departments Of the common
wealth to cooperate In providing
immediate aid.
As q result, representatives of
the State departments of forests
and waters. commerce. military
affairs. highways and public in
Struction, and the State public
school building authority are
scheduled to meet with town OFF,
Gals at the high school today.
Among subjects to be discussed
Is the possibility Of getting State
aid to rebuild the town under the
new Federal housing law. The
statute provides Pennsylvania with
$15, 000. 900 for slum clearance and
Z housing. -
Private industry is looking to
Hyndman, too. Members of the
towns Lions Club excitedly showed
representatives of q furniture man
ufacturing company around town
today. The name of the furniture
maker can't be disclosed yet, they
said, but the firm is interested In
all the unused manpower located
right in town.
Economic Outlook Better.
IN telling Of the latest develop
ments in Hyndman's Reborn eco
nomy, Acting Mayor Lloyd Christ
ner declared:
"Unquestionably, the fire has
made Hyndman's economic future
better than ever before"
Mr.. Christner is acting as
Hyndman's chief executive in the
temporary absence Of Mayor
Earnest Harden. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harden and Mrs. Helen Turner,
the courageous telephone opera
tor who stayed at her post while
the fire ragged IS feet away, left
for New York yesterday to- appear
on q Friday night radio broad
cast. |
Another new development may
make Hyndman a mecca for
tourists. Admiral Milo F. Draemel.
Pennsylvania secretary of forests
and waters, yesterday gave top
priority to the acquisition of lands
at the Shawnee Dam recreational
project 20 miles from Hyndman.
The State plans a road near
Hyndman to the project.
The dam already is under con-
struction. The road building
doubtless will give jobs to towns
folk.
A separate post Office building
may also be In the works.
Mr.. Christner said Representa-
tive Simpson. Republican, of
Pennsylvania, house member from
the district, is trying to get that
project approved.

Cancer Society Meets
To Discuss Newest
Methods Of Detection
oS the Associofed Press

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 9.
1T would take all the Nations
doctors, doing nothing else. just to
check every one each year for
cancer.
Such checkups would find al
most all cancers, and find them
early enough when most could be
cured. But the doctors wouldn't
have time to treat any one for
cancer or anything else.
This is the dilemma of cancer
detection as presented to so ma
tional experts today by the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
The experts are attending a
three-day conference to determine
the most effective methods of find
ing cancer early and surely.
It is estimated that 100000
Americans now alive will die of
cancer unless present detection
methods are improved or new
treatments for cancer discovered.
The biggest need now is for
some simple test to spot cancer
early, even in hidden, hard-to- find
sites. This conference opening to-
day will discuss the value of many
proposed or possible methods of
doing this.
Annual Checkup Urged.
Right now detection centers
can't be anything more than part
of the answer of finding cancer
early. society officials said. Al
thorough examination of one per-
son takes about an hours time.
Cancer authorities say that to
play safe every person should have
= checkup once a year. Men and
women over As should have two a
year.
But twice-a-year checkups for
every one would take the full work.
Ing day of $4,000 doctors. The
Nation has about 100, 900 practic-
ing physicians.
There are about 240 cancer de-
lection centers now. the society
reported. Most are booked up
weeks or months in advance.
OF all the people who come,
about one per cent are found to
have cancers. Ten per cent have
conditions that might turn into
cancer. Fifty-seven per cent are
found to have other diseases or
troubles and are referred to their
own physicians for treatment Of
these disorders.
Women More Susceptible.
This finding, the report said,
points up the value of having reg
ular health checkups.
Cancer detection centers have
helped educate people to the worth
Of health checkups, and have made
them more alert to suspicious signs
Of cancer.
They also serve as proving
ground for new methods of finding
various kinds of cancer, are par
ticularly helpful to people who
have no money. and can supple
ment the cancer detection work Of
family physicians.
Family doctors. using the proper
tests, could find most of the can
GERS turned up in the detection
centers, the report adds. The main
problem Is checkups of people over
Is, who are hit hardest by cancer.
Women are more susceptible than
men.
Every woman in the United
States over As could be examined
once a year If 100000 physicians
would devote just one hour per
week to this work." the report de-
clares.

spread a thousand miles. We had
trucks an trailers stacked up for
a block in both directions. l
don't think we sold four salads
all day - except potato salad
an cole slaw. Jake was fit to be
tied.
Yesterday mornin' the
bowls disappeared, an the
vases with 'em. Jake had hid
'em somewhere.

Two Lawyers Dispute
Fairness OF Trial Tor
MaImedy Massacre !.
by the Associcied Press

Two lawyers who dispute wheth-
'er German storm troopers were
given a fair trial for the Malmedy
massacre were called before a
Senate investigating committee
today for more questioning.
1t. Col. Holm s. Dwinell testi-
fed yesterday that he and other
defense Attorneys in the military
trials were given insufficient time
to prepare the case. He contend
ed it was impossible to represent
the Germans properly.
This was in conflict with earlier
testimony of Dwight F. Fanton
former Army officer who had
charge of gathering evidence for
the trial. He said the trial was
fair.
A war crimes court convicted 70
German soldiers in the first SIS
Panzer division Of shooting down
captured American troops and
Belgian civilians at the Malmedy
crossroads and other nearby towns
during the Battle Of the Bulge In
December, 1914.
512 Estimated Killed.
The Army has estimated that a
total of about 512 were killed in
the different incidents.
Six German soldiers still are
under death sentence for the kill
ings. The death sentences and
prison terms of others have been
reduced as a result of earlier in
vestigations into charges and de-
malls that brutality and deception
were used to get confessions.
Mr.. Dwinell, a former New York
lawyer, was one of six American
attorneys assigned to defend the
Germans. Six German lawyers
also participated in the defense.
These accused did not get a
proper dafense-that will always
be my contention" Mr.. Dwinell
told the Senate Committee. He
said defense lawyers received the
pre-trial statements made by the
Germans to Army investigators
only about 10 days before the trial
started in mid-May, 1916.
j AS a result, he added, the de-
tense lawyers had Intercepted
not more than a third of the &C
cused to any extent" when the
trial opened. Also, he said, there
was not time to question the many
witnesses the prisoners wanted
called in their behalf.
No Motion For Postponement.
Under questioning, MIR. Dwinell
said no motion was made for a
postponement of the trial.
He quoted Col. Willis Everett,
IT., the chief defense lawyer. as
having said he had taken UP a
reinforcement with higher au-
thority" and been informed the
trial would go on.
Mr., Dwinell said the Germans
complained to their defense law
yers that before making their pre-
trial statements they had been
mistreated physically and been
tricked by mock trials, Use OF stool
pigeons and other devices.
He said he had no proof of this
himself but in answer to a ques-
ton declared he believed it to be
true.
4, MIR. Fanton previously told the
committee that these accounts OF
beatings. threats, inducements.
starvation, spiritual deprivation
and a variety of tortures are all
untrue"
Another witness yesterday, Maj.
Robert z. Byrne. said he had seen
nothing to indicate any mistreat-
ment of the prisoners. A member
of the prosecution staff, he testi-
fled the prisoners were in good
condition physically and fatter
than most OF the Germans on the

 WHEN FUSE E BLOWN DUE TO OVERLOAD

Housewives whose dinner prepa- rations were interrupted last night probably said, Why does the rower go off at a time like this?"
 That, according to c. B. Holland of the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company. is exactly the time it happens.
 Peak use of lights, stoves and more heaters than in normal weather proba ly caused the trans former overload which blew fuse last nght in the Second Street Substation.
 Service was suspended on all lines served by that branch. Lights went out at 5:52 pm. and power was restored at GAO. So far, winter conditions have caused less trouble to the Light Company than those of last year.

N wv YEAR BOWL GAMES
 START TODAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-IR-Now come the battles of the bowls three today and a dozen on Mon day-with 30 football teams ending the seasons hysteria.
 The IS games are expected to draw some 650,000 fans and total receipts of more than S2,5OO,O0l. Many more, of course, will sit in at a distance by television and radio.
 The bunting, passing and pushing starts today with the East-West Shrine Charity clash at San Fran cisco; the Blue-Gray contes. at Montgomery, Ala, and the Raisin Bowl meeting at Fresno, Calif., be- tween San Jose (Calif) and Texas Tech.
 The program hits high gear on Monday, which will feature the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans and the Orange Bowl at Miami, Fla.
 The biggest crowd, of all-103 900 looms for Mondays Rose Bowl extravaganza in which Pappy Wal doris Golden Bears of California are a 6-point favorite to beat the Big Tens representative. Ohio State.
 Oklahomas Sooners, unbeaten and united in their 10 regular games and second only to Notre Dame in the AP standings, are favored by eight points to beat Ninth-ranking Louisiana State (8-2-0) in the Sugar Bowl.
 Rice is the choice by 7la points over North Carolina in the Cotton Bowl, where attendance figures to be around 75,000.
 The Orange Bowl will accommo- date an estimated 65,000 for the game between Kentucky and Santa Clara, which seems a virtual toss up. Kentuckys wildcats are B. point pick with most odds-makers.
 The Gator Bowl game at Jack sonville, Fla, where 36,000 persons are expected, brings together Mis- souri and Marylanc and this one really has the experts stumped.
 Rounding out Mondays bowl schedule are:
 Sun Bowl, Fl Paso, Tex, George town D.C.,) vs Texas Western; Cigar Bowl, Tampa, Fla, Wofford
