Democratic. Party leaders
already are laying plans to
make their 1856 convention
Q Democratic Party affair
In deed and word.
They want no repetition Of
the spectacle Of 1852. with
delegates coming in apparently
In good faith, taking part, be-
ing accepted as loyal to the
party and then. weeks later,
up and deserving the party,
joining the Republican Party,
and working actively for Re-
publican candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President.
That, you recall. was what
happened in the case Of three
Southern Democratic Cover
nors. Allen Shivers Of Texas,
James F. Byrnes OF South
Carolina and Robert F. Ken
non Of Louisiana. All SUBJ
sequently bolted and worked
for Mr.. Eisenhower. though
only one Of their States
Texas-went for him.
It Is a Texan, incidentally,
who is counted upon most
heavily to put over the idea
Of "a Democratic convention
for Democrats" That is Speak
er Of the House Sam Ray
burn. the grand old man Of the
Democratic Party who has the
affection. devotion and respect
Of leaders and rank and file.
He is expected to be named
permanent chairman of the
1856 convention, which was his
role in the 1852 convention,
and so will direct its delibera-
tons.
"Mr. Sam" 1t is learned,
already has approved plan
for submission Of a proposed
rule at the outset Of the 1866
convention under which dele
gates would subscribe to sup
port the nominees Of the con-
vention.
The purpose is similar to
what. in the heat and passion
Of the 1852 convention, came
to be called q loyalty OATH"

DAVID LAWRENCE

Few people realize that q
person actually has to violate
Q law and run the risk Of
penalty in order to get a court
test Of the constitutionality Of
that law.
Hence. abuse Is being wrong
fully heaped on Gov. J.
Bracken Lee Of Utah. who has
announced that he isn't going
to pay his income taxes be-
cause the Federal Government,
In his opinion, has no right to
spend his money to support or
aid foreign governments or
countries.
Mr.. Lee may not win his
court case and. in fact, the
end result may be that the
Federal Government viii make
some money on him. For
when one doesn't pay income
taxes, q 6 per cent interest
charge is levied from the date
the taxes are due.
II. therefore. the litigation
lasts several years and Mr..
Lee loses. he win be obliged to
pay the full amount plus the
accumulated interest at the
rate Of 8 per cent. No GRIM
inal action Is involved II the
taxpayer makes his return
and fully discloses his income.
When he objects to payment,

There has been some men

count. It could do this but
probably will not. for that
would be playing into the
Governors hands. That's be-
cause Of q possible legal pit
fall for the Government in
fighting the issue. It's q ques-
ton. for instance. whether
refusal to pay income taxes on
the plea that the money Ia be-
ing improperly spent would
cause the Supreme Court TO
take the case at all. It could
refuse on the ground that the
Governors interest was really
not material. The moment his

Over Refusal to Poy income Tox

Governor legal standing and
. direct interest in any suit.
Most of the time, when
there are disputes about pay
ment Of back taxes. the Fed
eral Government doesn't at
tach any liens or attempt to
collect until the case goes
through the courts and is
finally adjudicated. whereupon
II presents a claim for pay
ment. II this Is ignored, the
Government then confiscates
q part or all of @ taxpayers
property to get the money to
pay the claim. Usually the
Federal Government lays OF
on such enforcement measures
till the case Is decided by the
courts. unless, of course. it
anticipates that q mans assets
might be dissipated In the
meantime.
On its face. it viii be con-
tended that the Utah Cover
nor hasn't chance OF winning
his case. and hence the expense
involved to him in extra in
terest payments and lawyers
fees will have to be balanced
by him against the amount Of
publicity he may get for his
cause. It could. to be sure,
prove relatively inexpensive as
q promotion Of his arguments
in the court Of public opinion.
The Utah Governors point
Is that money raised from
American taxpayers should be
used only inside the United
States or at least for the direct
benefit Of the American
people. Now there are some ap-
preparations for foreign aid of
. military nature which could
readily be proved by the testi-
mony Of military experts t. be
Of direct help to the American
people. But some Of the funds
used for economic aid might
not be so easily demonstrated
in court to be Of direct benefit
to the people Of the United
States. 1t is presumably this
angle which the Utah Cover
nor wants to agitate.
Based on recent cases In the
Supreme Court Of the United
States. there Is Q question
whether any taxpayer can get
into the high court with an

BY JOHN McKELwAY

Painstaking, frustrating labo-
ratory procedures are beginning
to yield something long absent
in'the treatment of leukemia-a
certain element Of hope.
Lives. particularly those of
children. have. at least. been
prolonged. In some cases the
disease has been made to van
ish-if only to return again.
But. according to scientists at
the National Cancer Institute,
the disappearance" came after
the combined use of drugs. In
short. medicine has been able
to meet the disease, then give a
few well-placed pokes to the
trouble-causing. cancerous cells.
Big Stride
That doctors have been able
to see what they're hitting at.
is a major accomplishment in
itself. That leukemia cells have
been knocked out-thougn only
knocked out temporarily-is the
hopeful element in the leukemia
picture. 1t has led cautious
cancer researchers to feel en-
couraged in a wide-open, yet
still obscure, field of investiga-
ton.
Leukemia, which causes some
where around 5000 deaths each
year in children. is one of the
many illnesses Jumped under the
general heading of cancer. Al
ways fatal, its cause unknown,
leukemia is a disease of the or
gans that manufacture blood
such as the lymph glands and
bone marrow.
When the disease occurs, blood
formation apparently goes be-
serk. There is a tremendous
overproduction of white blood
cells. For some reason, the white
cells fail to mature" as science
puts it, and fall down COM
pletely on their job of fighting
infection. Red blood cells are
squeezed out Of place. reduced
In number. The blood, when
leukemia is rampant, fails to
clot properly. Thus. patients
die from infections other than
leukemia, hemorrhage, or from
damage to some vital organ.
Research at the laboratory
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-05-01
TODAY IN MEDICINE
Roy of Hope Emerges
From Leukemio Study

has led to certain drugs which
can render the unconscious
state" to leukemia. At the same
time, antfbiotics are combined
with the drugs to fight infection.
The result is that leukemia
victims" are living longer.
But the real difficulty that
faces those working in the leu
kemia field Is the apparent
ability of leukemia cells to
build up immunities to drugs. In
mice, it has been found, drugs
can wipe out a great majofity
Of these cellS-but the ones that
escape send out other cells with
built-in protection against the
drugs just used.
Science is faced with a situa-
ton somewhat like patching an
old innertube: as one hole is
patched, another appears along
side-the air escaping much In
the same fashion as the spread
Of death-dealing cells through
out the body.
The situation has been coun-
teracted somewhat by changing
this drug, using that drug, hold
ing of on another drug. Some
patients have been restored to
apparently normal health for
many months.
Earliest Stages
Actually. according to DR.. G.
Burroughs Mider, associate di-
rector in charge of research at
the National Cancer Institute,
in leukemia Is in its
earliest stages-in relation to
the search for "cure." A ire
amount Of ''basic" re-
search is still needed.
DR.. Charles G. Zubrod Of the
National Cancer Institute is
much of the laboratory
on leukemia over to
some 10 stricken children in the
Clinical Center in Bethesda. He
would like to see a center"
established for treatment of the
disease at NH.
Work is also being carried out
at Children's Hospital. where
prolonged life has also been
in leukemia victims.
If success can be measured In
terms of added years of life for
the leukemia victim, then this
has been achieved to date.
