New Steps in Fighting Cancer
Are Reported by RodioIogists

MINNEAPOLIS, April Z up.
-Four new steps in fighting
cancers-three by X-rays and
one by q hormone-were re-
ported today by University of
Minnesota scientists.
One X-ray step is some un-
expectedly good results with the
cobalt "bomb"-a chunk Of
radioactive cobalt only as big
as four silver quarters piled atop
one another. But it shoots out
X-rays equal to those from a
3-million-volt X-ray machine.
Two patients with widespread
cancers hit by the cobalt beam
are alive and apparently well
a year later. said Drs. K. w.
Stenstrom and Halyor Vermund,
radiologists.
Other patients have not Jared
anywhere near as well. But the
cobalt bomb offers some ad-
vantages over conventional X-ray
machines. including less radia-
ton sickness from damage to
healthy tissues.
A second step is a still-secret
chemical which may make can
GERS more vulnerable to X-rays
than nearby healthy tissue. The
drug has been given to only six
patients SO far, and it's too
early to assess results. DR..
Stenstrom and DR.. Vermunde told
science writer's on an American
Cancer Society tour of research
centerS.
Third is evidence. from animal

Sounded in TV Error

BOSTON. April 2 B.-An an
nouncement over Station WIZ
Tv last night said "All military

bases Immediately; all leaves

mistake.
Station officials said the an
nouncement came about when a
network program out Of New
York had been inadvertently cut
in on a local broadcast. The net
work show was a dramatization
of a hurricane story and had no
official status.
The station made several an

tissues may make them more
resistant to cancer growth, or
to becoming seed-beds for
cancer cells wandering from the
original cancer site. This could
mean the X-rays beamed to
kill cancers also may serve USE
full purpose when they strike
nearby healthy tissue.
Fourth is the hormone treat

some. an adrenal gland hormone

breast cancer. This puts some
of the women's own glands on

Meanwhile, Senator Kefauver
Democrat, Of Tennessee SAID
today Mr.. Dulles had better not

the Yalta papers when he tried

Senator Kefauver said that

He described as an effort to

Hagerty Admits
He Urged Full
YaIta Release.

White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty acknowledges
that he suggested general release
of the Yalta documents when he
learned on March Is that The
New York Times planned to pub
lish them exclusively the next
morning.
Mr.. Hagerty reiterated late
yesterday that President Eisen-
hover was not consulted at any
time about release of the docu-
ments. And he insisted that his
own action did not amount to
White House participation in the
State Departments decision to
release the papers.
Mr.. Hagerty was asked about a
story appearing in The Star yes
terday, written by Martin S. Hay
den and distributed by the North
American Newspaper Alliance
reporting that Assistant Secre-
tary of State Carl McCardle had
given the. Yalta documents to
The New York Times exclusively
in order to assure their publica-
ton in full.
Calls Story Correct
Mr.. Hayden also reported that
intervention by Mr.. Hagerty
brought general release of the
documents on the evening of
March 16. Mr.. Hagerty said he
did not know who gave the doc
uments to The Times. But he
said the published account Of
his own action was correct.
He said several newspaper cor
respondents told him The Times
had the Yalta documents ex-
clusively. He said he then called
Secretary of State Dulles and
told him that if these reports
were true II thought, in all fair
ness, the documents should be
made available to all media"
Mr.. Hagerty said he did not
know what effect his suggestion
had on the State Department
decision, but that the Depart

doctor, we want to adopt baby.
Can you find one for us?'
That's question almost every doc
tor in the country has heard at least
once. If he suggests the couple 90 to
an adoption agency, he is asked. why
should we have to wait one or two
years, when you might be able to get
US a child in couple Of months?"
Often as not, the man and woman
seem eager, loving. responsible - to all
appearances they'd know how to care
for child. They know they want one
so badly. What they don't know are
the possible pitfalls Of private adop-
ton from an unmarried or destitute
mother. They don't know what grief
they can let themselves in for, and they
don't know the tremendous advan-
tages Of adoption through an agency.
Unnecessary Heartbreak
Would you like to be the couple, for
instance, who were about to sign the
final adoption papers, who loved the
iuy very dearly - and then had il
suddenly taken away because the child's
mother married the child's father, and
they both wanted the baby back? Or
parents who had to give up a child at
the last moment when the court found
the infant was of a different religion?
The adaptive procedure in some
states takes six months, in others
year. All Of them make ii possible for

are legally adopted each year in our
country. more than half by people not
related to them. About ii couples are
waiting for each child available. 1t is
true that the average waiting period is
about year - not much longer than
a normal pregnancy. But many would
