RADIOACTIVE Detection
OF Cancer Described

Use OF radioactive infections
to find hidden cancers was de-
scribed here Wednesday by DR.,
Kennel Nakayama. head Of the
department Of surgery at the
University Of Chiba. Japan.

Of the new technique in q lee
ture at Freedman's Hospital. He
said 1t requires use of radioac-
tive phosphorus, which is in
jected into a patients veins q
day before tests are to be made.
The material. as 1t passes
through the body. tends to ac-
cumulate wherever cancerous
tissues exist. the Japanese sur
geon said. These spots of high
radioactivity may then be dis
covered by the use of specially
designed Geiger counters.
The small counters are in
serted through the patients
mouth down into his stomach.
to pick up the traces of RADIO
activity. DR.. Nakayomo said the
new technique is particularly
useful in spotting cancers Of the
stomach and foodpipe and could
also be used to locate rectal
cancers.

Judge Weighs
0ffutt Verdict

Judge Charles F. Mclaughlin
of the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia today took
under advisement the question Of
whether to find Attorney Dorsey
K. Offutt guilty of criminal con-
tempt of court charges or to dis
miss the charges.
Judge Mclaughlin heard argu-
mentS b yoppoSing counsel dur
ing a hearing which lasted day
and half.
Mr.. Offutt's attorney, Warren
E. Magee. argued for dismissal of
the charges against his client,
contending they are not sup
ported by the evidence. Argu-
ment in support of the contempt
charges was made by Assistant
United States Attorney Oliver
Gasch.
To Rule Tomorrow
Judge Mclaughlin announced
that he plans to make a ruling
by 10 am. tomorrow.
The contempt charges against
Mr.. Offutt stem from frequent
clashes he had with Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff in 1852 while Mr..
Offutt was representing a client.
DR.. Henry L. Peckham, jr., at an
abortion trial.
DR.. Peckham was convicted by
a jury, but the conviction was
set aside by the U. S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Co
lumbia. DR.. Peckham again was
convicted on retrial before an
other judge and his second con-
viction has been appealed.
Sentenced to Jail
Just after DR.. Peckham's first
conviction. Judge Holtzof found
Mr.. Offutt guilty of contempt
of court and sentenced him to
serve a To-day Jail sentence. The
U. S. Court of Appeals upheld
the contempt finding in part
only, but reduced Mr.. Offutt's
sentence to 48 hours.
Mr.. Offutt then appealed to
the Supreme Court, which re-
versed the contempt finding and
said the contempt charges should
be heard by another judge.
