Research on Cancer
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 28.-The
tobacco industry research COM
mittee has outlined a three-fold
program on the basis of which
it will award funds for scientific
study of tobacco and its effects
on smokers.
DR.. Clarence Cook Little,
scientific director of the commit
tee. said yesterday that research
will be conducted in these three
areas:
II. Study of the physical and
chemical composition of tobacco
and accompanying products.
80. Study of tissue changes in
humans and in animals under
various conditions.
-. Study of smoking and
other tobacco habits and of the
emotional and physical makeup
of smokers"
Mr.. Little said the committees
advisory board is reviewing ap-
plications for specific research
projects. The committee was set
up this year with an initial fund
of 100000 provided by cigarette
manufacturers, tobacco growers
and warehouse associations.

often q quick killer, said DR..
Maurice Tubiana OF Paris,
France.
He explained that such
cancers. which usually start in
moles, have a greater appetite
for a chemical called tyrosine
than do normal skin cells.
He outlined a process in which
bits Of the suspected melanoma
tissue are exposed on a glass
slide to a solution containing
tyrosine made radioactive by
radioactive carbon.
If the tissue cells take up a
lot of radioactive carbon, the
rnelanonla can be diagnosed

SAC PAULO. Brazil, July %.
The physical-and perhaps
emotional stresses in q Woman's
life were suggested today as a
possible cause of cancer Of the
cervix, one Of the greatest
killers among the diseases many
forms.
The theory was advanced to
the sixth International Cancer
Congress by DIR. Ernest Ayre of
the Cancer Institute at Miami,
Fla.
The cervix is the neck or
lower part of the Uterus or womb.
It is one of the most common
sites. Of cancer among women.
DIR. Ayre gave this explanation
Of his concept, which he said in
yolyed q kind of chain reaction
of irritation of the cells forming
the tip of the cervix:
!. 1t may begin with an infiam-
nation in the uterus continuing
for a long time. The infiamna-
ton causes the release of mucous
which has been found to contain
the female sex hormone.
The cervix normally is exposed
to this horrnone at only certain
times each month. But contin-
uous exposure could well be an
additional irritant to the cervi-
cal cells. The mucous secretion
also is possibly alkaline enough
to affect some cells.
DR.. Ayre said the process
could cause scar tissue to form
at the critical site. Such tissue
would deprive some cells of
nutrients necessary for health
and force them to live at q dis
advantage, which perhaps would
be enough to turn them cancer
Gus.
The specialist said emotions
can affect the glandular and
nervous system. and emotional
stress could also affect adverse
I ly the cervical cells.
The great possibility OF cancer
prevention lies in learning how
cancer begins and interrupting
the process. DR.. Ayre said. He
told the congress the most prac-
tical present preventive is the
regular examination Of cells
which always are being cast of
from the cervix. In such exam
nations, experts can watch for

Southern Trains Use
Segregation Pattern,
Witnesses Testify
BY ,hs Assoeiosed Press

Witnesses testified yesterday
a pattern of segregation" exists
on trains in interstate travel in
the South whether admitted or
not.
The testimony was offered at
an Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing as the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People pressed for a
ban on all racial segregation on
interstate trains.
The NAACP proceeding was
brought against a dozen major
railroads operating In the South.
Seven of the railroads stipu-
lated. or agreed. that they seq
regate passengers in areas where
local laws require such segrega-
ton.
Hearing Shortened.
The hearing was thus short
ened and is expected to be COM
pleted today after dealing with
a complaint against the Illinois
Central Railroad.
October 18 was set as the ten
tatiye date for filing briefs.
A parade of witnesses testi-
fled that segregation practices
continue on the Missouri Pacific,
the Texas and Pacific, the Sea-
board Air Line and in the Rich
mond (Va.) Broad Street sta
| tion..
Some of the railroad attorneys
objected that a survey figuring
in some of this testimony was
out of date and offered testi-
mony that no segregation rules
are enforced by the company
operating the Richmond station.
Principal Witness.
DR.. Herman III. Long, director
of race relations for the Ameri-
can Missionary Division Of
the congregational Christian
Churches, was q principal
NAACP witness.
DR.. Long, who has headquar-
tiers at Fiske University in Ten
nessee, said he had directed an
extensive survey of segregation
practices on railroads in 1949
and 1850. A team of two white
persons and two Negroes, he said,
made numerous interstate trips
to observe railroad practices.
Segregation, he added, was
effected "by a variety of means,
including cards handed to pass
engers to designate which car
they could board, verbal direc-
tons of train employees, and
manipulation Of, seat reserva-
tionS."
THE pattern of segregation
was clearly present whether adj
mitted or not" he testified. "

to get fined so he could keep his
name in the limelight.

The Citizen reporter was also
fined 10c for stating in last weeks

Judge
Won't Release
Children Yet
: Judge Beckham To
Hold Hearing On
Abandoned Tots

Mrs. Eva Warner Gibson,
juvenile judge, is not going
to get two abandoned child
rem from Miami as easily as
she thought, it was learned
today.
Judge Walter Beckham, of the
Dade County juvenile court, said
he would hold a hearing before de-
Gliding whether to release the chill
dren to Monroe County.
Mrs. Gibson said yesterday the
children would be returned here
and placed in a Monroe County
welfare home.
Left In Miami
The children - two-year-old Ste
ven Allen Swan and five-year-old
Walter E. Baughman - were aban-
doned in a Miami church yard
where they were discovered last
Friday.
The mother had been working as
waitress in Marathon before she
took the children to Miami and left
them.
The father, Henry Swan, 80, a
Navy veteran, is in the Naval
Hospital here for treatment of in
juries he received April Is when
struck by a hit-run driver.
Yesterday, Mrs. Corinne Fox of
Marathon, president of American
Legion Post No. 154 Auxiliary,
went to Miami to pick up the Gil
dren.
Trip In Vain
She said today that Judge Beck
ham told her he would not release
the children.
"He said he would hold a hear
ing" Mrs. Fox added.
She said the Legion post has
Swans power of attorney and has
been caring for the family at Ma
rathon for the past four months
since Swan was injured.
So that's the way the matter
stood today.
The Dade County juvenile court
has custody of the children; Swan
was in the hospital expecting an
other operation; and no one knew
where the mother was.

the field are in the works. The
improvements include paved and
extended runways and a terminal
building.
The new facilities are expected
to be ready for use in June, 1855.
Hardy told the commissioners
that NAL will pay the county $3.50
month from last Jan. / until the
new facilities are ready for use.
AirIines' Offer
If the new facilities are ready by
next June, this would mean that
NAL would pay the county $3.50.
When NAL begins using the new
facilities, Hardy said, NAL will
pay the county $500 per month.
"ThiS is 100 per cent more than
NAL previously paid per month
here" Hardy said, "and 200 per
cent more than NAL pays for like
services in the other 80 cities the
line serves"
The county commissioners said
they wanted $297 per month for
January, February and March of
this year, and $375 for April when
the two Cancelled flights were re-
scheduled, plus $500 per month
from April on.
Later Rate
The rate, the commissioner
said, would continue at $500 mon
thly after the new facilities at the
field were in use.
The commissioners proposal
would mean that NAL pay the
county S9,066 for use of the field
from Jan. l, 1854 to June /, 1855,
when the new facilities presum-
ably will be ready to use.
Hardy baked at this deal.
Gerald Saunders, chairman of
the board of county commission
ers, then said NAL owed Monroe
county 30, ,l44 Tor use OF the field
from Jan. l to Aug. 81.
He added that he would enter
tain a motion to present the bill
to Hardy with the stipulation that
it be paid by Oct. l or that the
county would take stems to bar
NAL from Meacham Field.
The motion passed unanimously.
Bill Presented
Saunders handed the bill to Har-
dy.
81 will now entertain a motion
to adjourn" Saunders said.
That motion, too, passed unani.
