With Streptomyein,
Discoverer Says
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden; Sun
day, Dec. 14.-The Russian-borr
American discoverer of strepto-
mycin said today Russia is pro-
ducing the drug but "nevel
bothered even to thank me for it.
DR.. Selman A. Waksman oi
Rutgers University received the
1852 Nobel medical prize last
week for discovering the drug. He
left by plane early today with his
wife and son, DR.. Byron Walks
man, a Boston physician. for a
three-week lecture visit in Tokyo
The scientist said he had re-
ceived more than 1000 kilograms
from 80 countries congratulating
him on his award, but not one OF
them came from Russia.
II have only little bits of in
direct information about what
the Russians are doing with strep-
tomycin." he said, "but from what
I heard it appears the Russians
are having some difficulties with
it. Last year a vial of Russian
streptomycin was analyzed at n
British research institution and
found to have only so per cent
potency"
DR.. Waksman pointed out that
while the Russians have stopped
buying penicillin on the world
market. they are still buying
istreptomycin, indicating that
they are not able to produce it

Rising CampaignCos
Threaten Political
System, ADA Says
By the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-The
national board of Americans for
Democratic action said today that
"the spiraling cost of political
campaigns is a threat to the
American political system"
In statement adopted by the
national leaders of ADA. the board
proposed that a representative
presidential commission be ap-
pointed promptly to recommend
legislative remedies to the Con-
greSs."
The board suggested that the
chairman of the national COM
mittees of the Republican and
Democratic Parties serve as men,
bers of the commission as well as
members of both the Senate and
House committees concerned with
campaign expenditures.
The ADA listed among others
these problems which it said the
proposed commission should study:
/. Possibility of eliminating
inequities in the use of radio
and television ly the candidates.
2. Creation of realistic ceilings
on expenditures by, and on be-
half of. candidate and control
of multiple committees which are
used to avoid these ceilings.
3. Limiting of aggregate family
contributions to political candi-
dates or committees.
4. "Advisability of some measure
of Federal financing in order to
reduce the dependence of candi-
dates upon private contributions. "
Earlier the ADA heard an ad-
dress in which former Attorney
General Francis Biddle, the
groups national chairman, called
the victory of Gen. Eisenhower a
personal triumph"
He added that the G. o. P.'s
presidential candidates election
did not result from any conserva-
tive trend in the country.

For Vermont, Digging
Out Of Heavy Snow
BY the Assoeioied Press

A task force of men and equip
ment strove yesterday to cut
through a heavy, crippling blanket
of snow in Vermont and Northern
New York.
Emergency work crews headed
into Vermont from Boston, West
ern Massachusetts and Eastern
New York State. The entire State
OF Vermont was burdened by snow
that was estimated to range up to
II inches in depth in some north
ern sections.
Northern New York also was
engaged in digging out from
under a thick snow cover left by
a 24-hour storm. The heaviest
fall was in the Adirondack Noun
tain Region. Many areas in that
district reported communications
were knocked out and highways
were blocked.
Heavy Snowfall.
State police at Saranac Lake
N. Y, said about two feet OF
snow was on the ground and more
was falling yesterday. The snow
measured from IL to 20 inches in
other parts of Northern New
York.
The storm that began Thursday
and tapered off to few scattered
f1urries yesterday resulted in IA
deaths in New England.
Public officials and editors said
the snow had struck a harder blow
in Vermont than the 1888 floods.
Relief trains, carrying emer-
gency work crews and equipment,
were started for Vermont from
Massachusetts.
Section Cut OFF.
An estimated 1000 telephones
were out of service in Vermont,
and the northern section of the
State was cut off from communi-
cation with any other areas.
Many homes and business
houses were without electric power.
Light snow showers were re-
ported at many points between the
Mississippi River valley and the
Atlantic Coast.
Cold air from the north chilled
most of the Midwest and East.
Lowest temperatures reported
were 3 below zero at Williston,
N. OAK. and 10 above at Burwell,

WHITE SULRHUR SPRINGS,
w. va. R-Science is investigating
the possibility of mcpping up
elusive brain cancers with atomic
energy s'sponges," two Chicago
surgeons reported today.
The doctors said animal expert
ments had suggested the possible
ty that special sponges, filled with
radioactive materials. and inserted
into the human brain, might kill
off possible remnants of malignant
tissue after all visible cancer was
removed by surgery.
Drs. Loyal Davis and Stanton
L. Goldstein said trial in human
patient were under way and that
results would be reported at a
future date.
They said absorbable sponges
made of gelatinous or soggy ma
terial-sometimes employed for
checking acknowledgement be-
ing used. And they declared the
radioactive materials for impreg-
mating the sponges consisted Of
Fighter gold or PHOSPHORUS. Both
Of these ray-emitting materials are
produced by the Atomic Energy
Commission at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Reporting to a scientific meeting
of the American Surgical Associa-
tion-an organization which in.
cludes the nations top teachers Of
surgical technique--the scientists
gave this outline:
The major difficulty In attacking
cancers deep-seated In brain tissue
Is that when the visible tumor Is
removed by surgery, cancer tissue
can remain hidden in the tumor
bed .
x-ray could be used to kill this
remaining tissue, but its deeply
penetrating rays might also de-
stroy normal tissue In the brain.
Tests with cats showed that when
sponges impregnated with radio
active gold or PHOSPHORUS were
inserted in the brain, the tissue
killing power Of the rays was
limited to q tiny area around the
place Of insertion.
There was no apparent adverse
effect on the central nervous sy-
tenn of the animal.
IT was concluded" the doctor
said, that this method was worthy
and safe for trial In patients. "
