New Method Found in TronspIonting
Live Tissues, May Aid Cancer Fight

Kandutsch, Sally Allen and
Shiela Counce collaborated in
various phases of the project.
The great significance is this:
Your body sets up antibodies
to destroy any foreign" mater
ial entering your system. 1t
creates antibodies against germs,
for example, and that is very
helpful. But you also create
antibodies against living tissues
borrowed from someone else.
DR.. Smell and his associates
discovered that living cells from
one mouse could be transplanted
successfully into another mouse,
If that mouse was first given in
jections of Els.
Both normal, healthy cells and
tumor cells were transplanted
this way. But without the ELS
shot first. the transplanted cells
were invariably destroyed by an
tibodieS.
The Els was extracted from
cells of the type that were being
transplanted. The jackson lab

occurs in red blood cells, in the

indicates Els may play an i'm
portant role in a universal
mechanism of immunity, or lack
of 1t.
Apparently every individual
produces a different kind Of Els
This raises the possibility that
Els from one person could be
given to another, to suppress an
antibody reaction which would
destroy a gland, kidney or skin
transplanted a bit later from
the first person to the second.
Right now, skin or an entire
kidney can be transplanted sue
cuessfully only between identical
twins, who have identical heredi-
ty and makeup. Skin borrowed
from someone else soon dies.
Bones and arteries are often
transplanted now. But these
spare parts only serve until the
person grows his own new bone
and artery tissue.
The big goal is to learn how
to make living tissue remain alive
and functioning. Then all man

Chilean Strike

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 8 (H1,
The government declared this
morning the general strike called

The government had stationed
10000 troops at strategic points

midnight.
The union called the strike to
protest a government move to

would join the movement.

Rail Decision
By State Voided
Hiqh Court Rules
On 'Pigey-Buck' Case

The Supreme Court ruled
unanimously today that a State
court lacked authority to stop a
labor unions attempt to prevent
piggy back operations by a
railroad.
The opinion delivered by JUS
tice Minton involving the New
York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad and the Transfers
Union held that the National
Labor Relations Board has ex-
elusive jurisdiction in such a
matter. The high court stated
that the railroad still could bring
its case to the board.
"Piggy-backing." in railroad
language, involved the hauling
of loaded trailer trucks on rail-
road flatcars. The trailer trucks
are Of the type ordinarily hauled
over the highways by motor
trucks.
Massachusetts State courts, on
petition of the railroad. enjoined
the Transfers Union from caus-
ing workmen not to handle such
trailers when consigned for
"piggy-back" shipments. The
railroad sought damages OF $780,
900 against a union local which
it claimed had prevented piggy
back" operations in the Boston
area.
Justice Minton stated that the
question in the case boiled down
to whether the railroad. should
avail itself Of processes Of the
.NLRB or could seek relief from
the State courts. The MasSa-
chusetts court recognized that
State courts ordinarily lack
power to enjoin alleged unfair
labor practices affecting inter-
state commerce but held that the

Traffic Director George E.

after consulting with William

AS soon as the sanders neu-

Previous Experience Cited
He explained that the board
considered a number Of pro-

for a concentrated drive in

fence in other jurisdictions had
proved this to be the most effec-

down Federal aid to the big

ing disposal of surplus stocks to
friendly countries only.
Seek to Bar Surplus
In large measure. the Presi-
dents recommendations followed
forecasts. While he stressed that
farmer participation would be
entirely voluntary, the program
makes sufficient provision for
"teeth"-in the form of con-
tracts-to insure compliance and
set up further barriers to the
accumulation in Government
hands of the huge surpluses
which have served as price de-
pressants.
The President said that his
program "offers no nostrums or
panaceas." He added that our
farm folk expect better OF us
than to deal in that kind OF
specious practice"

Lists Key Detectives
The President listed these
three detectives for the overall
program:
First. future production of
crops in greatest surplus must
be adjusted both to accumulated
stocks and the potential markets.
Second, producers of other
crops and of livestock must be
relieved of excessive production
from acreage diverted from sur
plus crops.
Third, lands poorly suited to
Itillage, now producing unneeded
crops and subject to wind and
water erosion, must be retired
from cultivation.
