African Traffic Ills
Luid to New Rouds

Good roads are bringing new
traffic problems to the African
Gold Coast. The fear of broken
springs heretofore has kept ma
tive drivers from hitting it up on
the road between Accra and Ku-
masi, but it's all different now.
The dusty old road has given
way to paved highway. At one
railway grade crossing the dan
ger became so great that some
safety device was necessary.
Strong concrete pillars have
been erected on the road. close
enough together so that cars
must slow down to get between
them.

Cheap Test
Proposed for
Lung Cancer

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 (P).
"A comparatively inexpensive
test for lung cancer now can be
included in regular physical ex-
aminations and should be used
routinely in Semi-annual check
ups on men over IS, two re-
searchers reported today.
The procedure consists of ex-
pert microscopic examination of
sputum. In the hands of prop
erly trained examiners it de-
tected more than 80 per cent of
the malignancies in 1000 lung
cancer patients, said these in
veStigators.
Among cancer tests a 80 per
cent accuracy record is high, and
lung cancer is one of the hardest
to detect in its earliest stages.
The X-ray, one of the most
commonly used instruments for
this job, showed up less than so
per cent of the lung malignant
cies in series of early cases, the
experimenters said
Results of the work on the
1000 patients was reported by
DR.. Seymour Farber and DR..
David A. Wood of the University
of California Medical School.
They reported to the American
Cancer Society, which support
ed the project.
Antibiotics actually can hind
er the course of cancer detec-
ton, DR.. Farber said, especially
when a patient takes them for
a stubborn cold or similar all
ment. They do a good job of
suppressing the symptoms but
If malignancy is present it con-
tinues to grow while the patient
feels that he is getting better.
This is the greatest disserv-
Ice that antibiotics have done
to date-masking an active and
possibly durable lung cancer"
said DR.. Farber.

l rison Officials Back i'll Control After 80 Hours

BOSTON, R-M Massachusetts pc nal authorities were back in full control of ancient State Prison Saturday as investigations began into the 80-hour holdout of four long-term hostage-holding con- victs.
 The escape-mad inmates sur rendered their weapons and their stronghold inside the prison Fri day to a seven-man civilian nego- tiating committee in return for some glimmer of hope" after their long prison terms.
 Massachusetts Atty. Gen. George Fingold said he personally will prosecute the four who face addi- tiona1 sentences up to 20 years for their action in holding and threatening with death five guards and six fellow convicts.
 Spokesman for the negotiating committee Erwin D. Canham, edi- tor of the Christian Science Moni- tor, said the civic group made mo bargain or deal" with the convicts but promised to try ito get some thing" So the convicts would have some hope for the future"
 Canham, whose committee was chosen by the convicts them selves, described the tense climax of the discussions inside the grim granite jail like this
 Until the precise moment when (they) pulled their guns from their dungarees pockets, slipped out the clips or bullets, and tossed them on the table before us, we did not know whether the men would choose tragedy or hope.
 "We had talked, back and forth, for some six hours to try and bring them to choose hope"
 The convicts, among them mo- torious bank robber and escape artist Theodore Green, listed their grievances for the committee. All complaints concerned the medic val facilities of the 150-year-old bastille which is due to be aban- doned later this year for a new prison in Norfolk

Bernt Balchen Compares US. and Russian Ability To Fight In The Arctic

WASHINGTON, R - Because Russians are more accustomed to cold climates, the Soviets may have some advantage over the United States in Arctic military operations, Col. Bernt Balchen said today.
 On the other hand, the Arctic expert said in a copyrighted inter view with the magazine U. s. News and World Report, warm ocean currents extend farther north in the western hemisphere. This gives the United States and Canada more chance for northern bases open to navigation for longer parts of the season.
 Whether the Russians have sur passed this country in technical development of cold weather equipment, he said, lis question that we can just guess at"
 Neither side has much advan- tage in the distance from it's bases to the others vital areas, he said. The United States has bases with in 2,700 nautical miles of Moscow and the Russian industrial areas, while Russian bases are about 5000 miles from the United States.
 Balchen, now assigned to the Pentagon, was a member of sev- eral Arctic and Antarctic expedi- tions and more recently built and commanded this country's Bluie West 8 air base on Greenland.
 Airmen assigned there, he said. have all the comforts they can be given on a military base but are handicapped by isolation and the Arctic climate.
 Men normally are assigned there for a year, Balchen said, but 1T think that's too short A man then just learns what a cycle in the Arctic looks like. He does mt become an Arctic soldier in that time"
