Cancer And
The Hydra

Can Editorial From The cancer
News Service)
Scientists studying the myst'
ery of biological growth have per.
formed an amazing experiment
with a small marine creature call
ed a hydra. Several hydras are
ground up and poured into a
mold and a few days later, there
appear four hydras, perfectly
healthy and active.
Actually you can chop up as
manv as ten or twenty tiny
hvdras or as few as five large
ones but as long as the whole
mixture is one cubic millimeter
of tissue, you'll get just exactly
four of the little creatures.
This is interesting; it may
prove important. Fascinating as
if is, it is just one of the many
leads to cancer control that are
being developed in laboratories
throughout the United States.
The whole problem of cancer
control can be likened to the
hydra experiment. The American
Cancer Society, which is now con-
Quoting it's 1851 Cancer CRUSADE
can get exactly as much return
for it's efforts as it puts into the
problem.
No matter how many glvers
are involved at least Sl4,ooo'ooo
must be raised to carry on re-
search, education to save lives
now and service to the cancer
patient during the coming year
We must furnish the hydra
dollars that power the great cru.
SADIE to save human life. Guaro
those you love. Give to Conquer
Cancer.

Ill., Rejects RasRed Cross PLANNING to Train $50 600 Here

Twenty million americans must
learn first aid. according to the
National Security Resources Board.
That means about 10000 peo-
|ple should receive Red Cross first
aid training in the Metropolitan
Washington area, because the
District is listed as a key bomb
ing point, Red Cross officials say.
To accomplish the District
work, the Red Cross must train
1900 first aid instructors. Daniel
"A. Leonard. director Of Red Cross
Safety Services here. said. D
Many Services Provided.
First aid training for civil de-
tense is an important part of the
services the Red Gross gives the

THAT our cities might be bombed.
Still. he said, the District area
Red Cross fund drive has obtained
only 87.47 per cent of the areas
I$1.3 million goal. There is $163,- :
600 to go-an amount that could
mean less trained first aid per-
lsonnel and equipment.
Red Cross first aid courses, Mr..
Leonard said, are being given
everyone at Andrews Air Force
Base. The Red Cross trains the
instructors; the instructors train
the men.

Leonard continued, are urging

son in every family, or one out
'of five people in the District area
The District Red Cross Chapter
he said, needs 1000 volunteers for
instructor courses by July. Even
Itually leaders hope, to get 2.00C

Reasons for Keeping
Lend Lease Ships
BY the Associated Press

The United States last night
rejected RuSsia's objections to re-
turning $40 lend-lease naval and
merchant vessels. An American
note formally demanded again
that the Soviet government hand
over the ships.
| This latest move tightens the
deadlock in Americana Soviet ne
gotiations for a lend-lease settle
ment. Talks have gone on peri
odically for several years. Current
essions have been under way at
the State Department since jan
uary Is.
Demanded All Ships.
The United States demanded
February Z that all the vessels,
including torpedo boats, tugs.
landing craft. liberty and prewar
merchant ships, be given back to
this country. Russia in effect
turned down this demand March
81.
A note to Secretary Of State
Acheson from Soviet Ambassador
! Alexander 8. Panyushkin stated
two reasons for objecting to the
return of the ships. It said the
United States was bound by prior
agreements to sell the vessels to
Russia. Furthermore, said Mr..
Panyushkin, the United States had
no use for the ships because it al
ready has plenty.
Mr.. Acheson's reply attacks both
objections and insists the Soviets
have no legal right to withhold the
craft.
Most Of the note is a listing of
agreements concerning lend-lease
between the United States and the
Soviet Union, going all the way
hack to the master agreement in
June, 1912.
Obligation Is Clear
Mr.. Acheson said that under
these agreements "the obligation
lof the Soviet government to return
1.-THE vessels is clear and un-
tequivocal."
| OF Russia's argument that the
United States agreed to sell the
ships to the Soviet Union, Mr.
Acheson said that agreement was
subject to the prompt conclusion
of an overall lend-lease settlement.

OPERATION
LAKEHURST

THOUGH peace reigns along the Eastern Seaboard
IA of the United States the job of guarding 1t against
invasion by submarines Is ending one. In the
air a large part of the job is done by lighter than
air ships an important member OF the sea-air anti
submarine team that operated successfully in World
War II.
Headquarters for the lighter lair ships is at
Lakehurst NJ j. home of the Naval Airship Training
and Experimental Command. There crews are trained
as tactical teams with each man having specialized
Job and flight station.
The ground crews taught to keep the gas
filled bags in trim They learn the technique of nursing
the airships IN and of the hangers and launching
and retrieving them In addition. the officers and men
attend classes in all phases of lighter air work
so that they will be ready to help destroy submarines
bent on preying upon coastal shipping and cities.
The men at Lakehurst are fulfilling another valu
able function They helping to convince the Nation
that blimps balloons dirigibles important to
our defense-and everyday life. They have difficult
task because the American public remembers vividy
the disasters of the 920S and 30s when such lighter
thar-a ships the Hindenburg, Akron, Shenandoah
and Roma burned crashed and killed many crew
members and passengers.

Many Lives Destroyed
On Nations Highways

american motorists, in 1949
drove the equivalent Of II miIIion
trips around the world, announced
the Delaware Safety Colncil. but
the cost in human lives and pro-
perty was far too high.
More than a million of these dri-
vers were involved in a non fatal
injury accident of some kind. and
$4,000 were involved in an accident
resulting in someone death.
AT this time Of year we may be
tempted to feel over confident be-
cause we are on the highways less
and thus, theoretically, exposed to
danger less. Actlally because of
longer hours of darkness and adj
verse weather, almost the opposite
may be the case.
The Delaware Safety Council lis
tea the two following chief factors
as making winter conditions no.
toriously dangerous for drivers.
!. Reduced visibility: More than
half the day in January is should
cd in darkness. Thus, the dangers
TO drivers and pedestrians are in
creased immensely because peak
hours Of traffic every day fall dur
ing periods Of dusk or darkness.
z. lnclement weather: Rain, sleet
and snow-so common to January
further reduce visibility and create
unsafe road surface conditions. The
This means that windshield wiper
blades must work perfectly and
tire chains must be used when
needed.
The need for greater caution
less speed, and more attention to
mechanical safety features of your
car are quite obvious, said the
Council. The disregard of any one
of these points can cancel out
careful adherence to the others.
