What may be the frst treat
ment of lung cancer by direct
irradiation with radioactive
isotopes has just been an
nounced by the British Atomic
Energy Commission.
DR.. e. A. Pochin, according
to this announcement. has re-
Gently devised o method Of In
jecting into the blood stream
q suspension Of radioactive
particles-the specific element
is not named-of such size
that they pass through the
circulatory system but are un-
able to get through the tiny
capillaries Of the lungs. There
they are caught and held to
exert their destructive effect
on cancerous cells.
The capillary bed Of the
lungs is the flrst encountered
by the blood as 1t is pumped
from the heart.
Can Replace Surgery
Lung cancer is one Of the
most rapidly increasing causes
Of death in both Europe and
the United States. It has been
attributed with considerable
supporting evidence to the
growing use Of cigarettes, but
1t has been impossible to es-
tablish this thesis to the COM
lete satisfaction of patholo-
gists. 1t is a disease with q very
high mortality. The chief
treatment has been by surgery.
DR.. Pochin's discovery now
makes it possible to treat it
by radioactive isotope injec-
tions and presumably the tex
ploding particles" will have q
special affinity for the malig-
nant cells, whatever may have
been responsible for them.
Some experiments along the
same line, according to biolo-
gists Of the Atomic Energy
Commission, were carried out
at the Public Health Service
laboratories a few years ago.
The function Of the lung
capillaries in catching atoms
Of radioactive carbon was in
vestigated. The general pur-
pose, however, was to study
the effect of such atoms, con-
stantly breathed into the lungs
by everybody, on causing,

dioactive particles are carried
as closely as possible to in

What Miqht Have Been

One OF HttlerS top commanders III
World War II, former Field Marshal Al
bert Kesselring, has taken look back
ward at what might have been" and
tabulated the mistakes which, he believes,
led Germany to defeat decade ago. In
a "hindsight" interview in u S. News and
World Report the noted military tactician
not only listed four major errors by the
Nazis but expressed some criticism OF
Allied strategy and tactics. There Is
nothing startlingly new in his appraisal
of certain phases of the great conflict,
but his comments on British and Amer1-
can leadership in the Italian campaign
will tend to revive old controversies here
and elsewhere.
Most of the blame for Germanys
failure to achieve victory, according to
the. veteran field marshal, must rest on
the inglorious Fuehrer. (He gives little
credit to Allied military power, except
British and American tactical and stra-
tegic airpower). Hitler's chief mistakes.
he said, were ID his failure to draw up
an overall war plan, (2) failure to in
wade Britain when the army leaders were
urging 1t in 1910, (3) failure to proceed
with an attempt to seize Moscow in 194l,
before the Russians were fully prepared
to resist, and az slownesS in getting
German industry on a war footing.
.Kesselring drew an interesting pic
ture of Nazi indecision and floundering
as the war progressed, due to lack OF
master plan and resultant squabbles be-
tween Hitler and his commanders over
current or proposed moves. Kesselring
coupled with the lost opportunity to in
wade the British Isles the delay in attack
ing the retreating British forces at Dun
kirk The Germans thought that there
were less than 100000 British and French
soldiers on the beaches there. Actually
about 100000 men escaped across the
channel zone armored DIVISION" he
declared, "couId have mopped up the en-
tire Dunkirk area" But Goering pre-
vailed on Hitler to let airpower do the
Job. The air attack Topped. And the
German Navy always baked at any cross
channel operation without complete Nazi
air superiority.
OF particular interest to war analysts
and historians is Marshal Kesselring's
caustic criticism Of American and British
mistakes" in Italy. He said he would
have had serious difficulties in his holding
operation If the Allies had leap-frogged
along the coast. even with only small
landing forces. And he described as a
bad blunder General Mark Clark's de-
cision to attempt frontal attack across
the Rapido River in January of 1914.
This Inflated venture cost the United
States seth Infantry Division 1881 cas-
ualties, with repercussions still heard
occasionally General Clark himself
called the crossing Calculated risk" to
draw Nazi strength away for the Anzio
landings. Had he known beforehand
what Marshal Kesselring knew about the
German defenses, General Clark might
never have given the fateful order. In
fact, hindsight Of the sort INDUCED in
by the aging German fighter probably
would have changed the whole course OF
history-from civilizations dawn.
