CcENrIsTs are closing in on cancer. That
- good news summarizes the views of most
specialists have interviewed in a survey of
the battle against cancer.
They're looking forward to radically new
treatments and cures in the foreseeable future,
and 10 years seems to be the most popular
prediction. But they won't talk about it, at
least not in public. Last winter usually re-
liable reporter quoted one leading cancer
researcher to the effect that cure would be
forthcoming in five to 10 years. The state
ment was later denied.
Yet if the lunches of other investigators
are any sign. it wasn't a bad guess. whoever
made it! The director of large eastern
cancer hospital recently. came up with an
equally confident forecast loft the record, OF
course). He told me that he expects to see
the cancer problem cracked before the end
of my active professional career" = and he's
scheduled to retire in 10 years.
Another specialist says five to IS years;

only 10 patients. But its the site Of one Of the
most original and promising projects IN the
vast fight against cancer. During a recent
visit watched procedure which. IN itself.
isn't particularly impressive. You've seen It
many times. A doctor simply injected some,
milky white fluid into the right arm of
middle-aged woman.
What the fluid contained, however, Is some
thing else again. The doctor had carefully
explained things to the patient - he was plr-
posely injecting her with colony Of thriving
vruses.
lyo0oso-l Gasnble
LIKE all such agents, they were submicro-
scopic (25 million could be placed on the head
of pin) and attacked living cells. Only these
parasites wouldn't hurt her. In fact, they had
been selected because they were natural
enemies Of cancer cells and did negligible
damage to the normal variety.
These injections are the result Of 4 thousand
to-one medical gamble that IS beginning to
pay of. More than four years ago Dr.. Alice E.
Moore, Memorials virus expert launched a
search for anti-cancer agents. She had no
direct proof that such viruses existed. But
she knew that all of them have fnicky appe-
tites. Some feed exclusively on lung tissue:

during the late 1905 Although the secret
of cancer has proved exquisitely elusive.
science exists to deal with exactly this sort of
problem. There is feeling that we are on the
verge Of major advances. Despite the reluc-
tance Of the experts TO see their private
remarks in print, work already under way
explains their cautious optimism.
The accelerating drive to curb cancer is
being supported by the American Cancer
Society. the National Cancer Institute and
other agencies. It can be illustrated by three
broad new avenues of approach: y the use Of
tunor- destroying viruses unknown a few
years ago; q controlling the body's output
of mountaineering hormones by surgery and
other methods; and 81 the search for new
chemicals. ''magic bullets" designed to kill
cancer cells as effectively as conventional
drugs kill germs. These studies are selected
as examples from the mass of work that is

THE TcoDLEs

Except ye utter by the tongue
words easy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is
spoken? For ye shall speak into
the air."-I Corinthians, xiv.9.
When writing a business letter
the problem is not to decide how
much to write. or how elegantly
to write it, but how to write
clearly, concisely, and courteous
ly in as few words as possible.
Lincoln. upon being invited to
make a speech, is said to have

shall need a little preparation,

letter Cor any other kind of let
teri is write as though you
were talking with your CORE

stereotyped, and meaningless
phrases such as:
I'VE beg to acknowledge" for
1--WE acknowledge" (Why should
a merchant "beg"?)
