Hitch Hiker" Virus.
He finds that in mice a virus
hitch-hiker can be the cause OF
leukemia, the cancer Of the
blood.
He begins with a strain OF
family line Of mice which get
leukemia spontaneously
He grinds UP the spleen, liver
and other organs Of such mice
and prepares an extract which
contains any tiny particles OF
viruseS for lukemia in those
organs.
Then he injects this extract
I into baby mice Of a different
strain. a strain which rarely gets
leukemia spontaneously. He
| gives them the injection before
the baby mice are more than SIX
hours old, q time when their re-
sistance presumably would be
low.
Most Of these injected mice
develop leukemia by the time
they are 10 months old. This
indicates the injection gave
them q virus or some agent
which lay dormant for a time
until some change occurred. The
virus hitch-hiker could have
turned 'mean" or changes with.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. April
12.-New evidence that cancers
could be caused by viruses hitch
hiking rides through our lives.
but attacking only some Of us,
was described today.
We could acquire the virus
hitch-hikers very early in life,
or even before we were born.
They would ride harmlessly un-
til something happened. Some
thing could make the virus sud-
denly dangerous. Or something
could change in our bodies so
the virus could take the wheel.
The change might be aging al
terations in hormones or some
other event.
