Kiwanis / Hears Talk
On Cancer Problem

DR., ]. Frank Figge, nationally
known specialist in cancer research
and a professor of the Medical School
Of the University of Maryland, was
the guest speaker at the weekly
luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis
Club, held in the Hotel Alexander
yesterday President Herman B..
Hopes presided and the program
was arranged by the Budget and
Finance Committee, of which Paul
Massey is chairman.
William P. Kreykenbohm, repre-
sentlng the Washington County Can
Ger Fund Drive, and DR.. K-Raman
Plllai, superintendent of the Govern
ment T. B. Hospital in NagercoiI.
India, were guests at the luncheon.
DR.. Figge, who was introduced by
DR.. w. Ross Cameron, stated, in his
opening remarks, that great progress
was being made in the study of the
cancer problem and it was his opin-
ion that it may be solved within the
next ten years.
He further stated that he did not
believe the problem would be solv-
ed by a cure, but by measures Of
prevention, after finding out def
lnitely what causes the disease.
DR.. Figge then stated that cancer
is not growth problem, but rather,
an organization problem. He illus
trated this statement by pointing out.
that here are millions and millions of
blood and nerve cells in the human
body and that these cells are organ
lied, just as human society is or
gained
When there is disorganization i'm
society of people, the normal func-
ton of the society is disrupted" DR..
Flgge said. For instance, if there
IS breakdown in the telephone sys-
tenn, the whole framework of a hui
man society becomes disorganized
The speaker then stated that these
millions of cell in the human BODY
are very closely organized, with a
very definite system of communi-
cation, and research shows that when
these cells become disorganized and
connections are broken, the terrible.
disease OF cancer results.
DR.. Figge then showed number
OF colored slides, showing how these
millions of cells operate within the
human body and what happens when
this organization becomes disrupted

Gates Open At 600 O'clock. Game Time Is
800 O'clock. Opposing Team VIII Be Lynch
burg Cardinals. Capacity Crowd Is Expected.
Pre-Game Festivities Planned. Mayor WinsIow
F. Burhans VIII Throw Out First Ball.

Saturday is the big night in Ha-
gerstown, for it will mark the Ha-
gerstown Packets first home game of
the 1854 season.
With the grandstand completely
renovated; with just about the best
lighting system in the Piedmont
League, and before what is expected
to be capacity crowd, manager Paul
Campbell and his team will take the
field against the Lynchburg Cardi-
mails at 800 o'clock.
The gates will open at 600 o'clock
and number of pre-game festivities
have been planned. Following the
flag raising ceremonies, Mayor Wins
low F. Burhans will throw out the
first ball and the game will be on.
The Packets, after more than a
month of spring training in Florida,
arrived home on Sunday and they
were scheduled to be presented to
the fans of Hagerstown and Wash
ington County last night at an Open
House at the stadium.
Presenting to the fans of Hagers-
town and Washington County a prac-
tically new team, owner Gene Raney
with a close, full-time, working
agreement with the Washington SEN
ators, has gone all out to give the
fans a team that should be in the
thick of the fight right down to the
wire. The team seems to be well
balanced and the pitching staff, from
what | have been able to find out
should be one of the best in the
league.
Manager Paul Campbell, with the
addition of three or four more play
ers on the squad within the last few
days, will probably take little time
before definitely deciding the actual
makeup of the team, since he will
want to get a good look at the latest
arrivals on the squad before making
up his mind.
With the exception of pitchers Ed
Lenthe and Charlie Miller, who were
with the club last year, and pitcher
Joe Reardon, who was with the club
back in 1850, you will be looking at
a brand new ball club and from re-

A total of IS candidates for the
various offices to be filled at the gen
eral election in November have filed
certificates of candidacy, subject to
the Democratic and Republican Pri-
mary, respectively, which will be
held on June %.
All candidates have the right to
withdraw their candidacy, providing
they do so by 400 o'clock on Monday
afternoon.
There will be primary races for
every office, with the exception of:
State Senator (Republican), States
Attorney, Register of Wills, County
Treasurer, Clerk of the Court and
Democratic Central Committee.
Hugh K. Troxell, the incumbent
County Treasurer, is the only candi-
date without any opposition at all
and his election, therefore, in No
vember, is assured.
In the other offices in which there
will be no primary races, only one
Republican and one Democrat has
filed.
There will definitely be a change
in the makeup of the Republican
Central Committee, for which total
of 10 candidates have filed, since of
the incumbents - John Dunn, John
Swain and D. Eldridge Rinehart -
have not filed. There will also be a
change in the makeup of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee, since, al
though only candidates filed, two
of the incumbents - John Corder-
man and Harry Newkirk - have not
filed.
Here are the IS candidates, listed
in strictly alphabetical order, under
the office they will seek and their

Around Town With
The Editor

Sidelights on the coming Pri-
maries:
While the voters of the two Par
ties will be given the opportunity, in
the June % Primaries, to select the
nominees of their Party for the Of
fees of - County Commissioners,
members of the House of Delegates,
Sheriff, Judges of the Orphans Court
and the Republican Central Commit
tee-they will have no voice in Sc
lecting their nominees for such other
important offices as - State Senator,
States Attorney, Register of Wills,
County Treasurer, Clerk of the Court
and the Democrat Central Commit
tee
Party leaders, when their candi-
dates are nominated without the ne
cessity of going through a Primary
campaign, are prone to boast that it
is sign of Party unity. By the same
token, when one Party has more than
one candidate for specified office,
while the other has only one, the
Party that gives the voters chance
to select a nominee in a Primary is
often accused of being disorganized,
AS far as l am concerned, this eff
fort of party leaders to try, when
ever possible, to avoid a primary, is
all wrong.
l fully appreciate that many office
holders, whether they be Federal,
State, or Local, often deserve, be-
cause of their outstanding record, to
again be nominated by their Party
but, by the same token, l firmly
believe that the voters are just as
much aware of this as the party
leaders are. So why not let the vot-
ers decide, instead of having these
leaders try to freeze out other can
didates.
l always have been - and still am
- in favor of wide open primaries,
instead of having hand-picked can
didates thrust down the voters
threats on a take it or leave it"
basis, a system that often results in
the voters crossing party lines, simp-
ly because they have had no voice
in selecting the nominee of their own
party.
While Republican Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde, of the Sixth District,
has no Primary opposition, three
Democrats have filed - Edward j.
Ryan, of Cumberland, F. Byrne Aus
tin, of Takoma Park, and Charles M.
Irelan of Silver Spring.

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman,
DEWITT S. HYDE

WASHINGTON, April 81 - With
Congress in Easter recess, most of
the members have returned to their
districts to mend political fences and
discuss the record of accomplish
ments of the House so far this year.
A good portion of the Presidents
program and most of the appropria-
tions bills have been passed. Includ-
ed in the latter are next years ex-
penses for the Departments of State,
Commerce, Justice, Treasury and
Agriculture, plus many of the indie
pendent agencies.
One Of the big money bills was the
civil functions measure, which in
cluded 100000 for flood control at
Cumberland and another 100000
for the Peace Cross flood problem.
The arbitrator bill is passed in
the House. This does not make
overlapping legal Git was already,
but it made admissible in evidence
in court, information received by
wire tapping in cases of treason,
sedition, espionage and similar
crimes.
Four major bills cleared by the
House deal with economic matters,
including two tax bills and the high
way and hospital construction and
survey measures. These are the first
steps in the Presidents program to
bring the nation successfully through
the war-to-peace transition They
contain built-in stimulation to en-
ployment.
The federal roads bill went to the
White House for signature last week.
1t approves expenditure of nearly
a billion dollars a year, most of it
divided between and matched by
the states, for country and city roads.
The hospital bill, pending in the
Senate, calls for 1872 million dollars
to be spent during the next three
years for construction of public hos
pitfalls
The tax program must be regarded
all in one package to see its real
significance = a total of more than
seven billion less taxes in one year,
which is a record reduction. Nearly
two thirds of the benefits are direct
ly for individuals.
Three billion dollars automatically
came off our tax bill on January l.
Last December 81, the excess profits
tax was allowed to expire with a
saving of two billion dollars. Three
weeks ago the reduction in excise
taxes went into effect, saving the
taxpayers a billion dollars more.
Finally, when the Senate finishes
with the tax revision bill, another
1.3 billion dollars will be left in the
pockets of the taxpayers.
The House, in a spirit of real ac-
complishment, is sending measure
after measure to the Senate, where
final passage will occur in the next
few months. It appears that the
issue(in next falls elections will not
be the failure of Congress to act, but
how Individual members voted on
the programs that the people want.
