New Method DEVELOPED
To Ease Pain of Cancer

HOUSTON, Tex, Mar. I tPi.-
A method Of relieving pain in
dying cancer patients without
the use Of narcotics or brain
operations was announced today
oy two Texas medical researchers.
The procedure requires the
injection OF a small amount of
pure alcohol in the spinal cord
a single treatment can Danish
pain for three to six months.
said Dr.. Richard C. Hay and DR..
William Derrick of the NJ. D
Anderson Hospital here.
DR.. Hay and Dr.. Derrick de-
scr!bed the results of 81 cases to
the 18th annual Symposium on
Fundamental Cancer Research.
The meeting is sponsored by the
hospital and the medical branch
of the University Of Texas.
Intractable pain is one Of the
worst features of the final stage
OF cancer. Narcotics relieve the
agony for a while, but eventu-
ally the patient becomes so
tolerant Of the drugs that they
Go little good.
The alcohol treatment was eff
fective in all but five of the cases.
the physicians said.
Pinpointing the target in the
spinal cord is the most difficult
part Of the procedure. which re-
quires about an hour. The al

little area in the channel which
carries the sensory nerve from
the brain TO the affected part of
the body. 1t has to be kept
away from nearby nerves which
control the muscles.
1t works by drying out a section
Of the nerve, in effect making a
disconnectlon.
Miss Eleanor j. Macdonald. a
medical statistician. reported TO
the symposium yesterday that a
survey of several thousand cases
of disease has yielded a hint
that infection with polio virus
may prevent cancer.
The finding came from an ex-
animation of records covering
$4,000 cases of cancer and 1923
cases Of polio in Harris County
Houston. Among all the in
dividuals who had cancer only
one was found with a history Of
polio.
Among the polio victims, not
one case Of malignancy was un-
covered.
The cancer statistics covered
all hospital cases in the county
from 1914 through 1850 The
only one of the $4,000 cancer
victims found to have had polio
was an elderly woman with
breast cancer. Normally. the
statistician said. three or four
cases of polio would have been
found among that many people

lIle AEdcOSLla River III
Hams Point to the vicinity of
the Naval Air Station.
These details were given the
engineers by David v. Aud,
director of the Districts SAM
tary Engineering Department.
Mr.. Auld's aim was to acquaint
his fellow-professionals wit h
some of the problems-and pos
sible solutions-of the city's
sewage disposal system.
The increased capacity of
these main collecting lines will
be needed to meet the expected
continued growth of suburban
Maryland beyond the Northwest
The suburban system connects
with Washington's at the Dis
trict Line on all the Maryland
side of the Potomac.
The additions would be to
relieve existing interceptorS

shore and extending along Rock
Creek. To augment trunk lines
from the Potomac shore to the
main pumping station on the
Anacostia would mean tearing
up streets all across the down.
town area or taking a brand-new
short cut. That is where the
East Potomac Park possibility
fits in.
In either case, Mr.. Aud said
a third siphon would have to be
built under the Anacostia and

a new outfall sewer built from
the opposite bank the rest of the
way to the treatment plant at
the southern tip of the District.
Two alternatives are possible
for separating the com b n e d
sanitary-stormwater sewage sys-
tenn that spreads over half the
city and. during rainy weather,
spills raw sewage into the
streams.
One method. Mr.. Aud said,
would be to build new sewers
paralleling the combined sewers,
and changing the plumbing con-
nections from all buildings in the
combined system area so that the
two types of sewage flows would
be separated at the source.
This would cost about $2l3
million.
The alternative would be to
build new interceptors with a big
enough capacity to handle part
of the combined sewage flows. An
expenditure of about $50 million
for this purpose would reduce by
half the amount of raw sewage
escaping into the streams as part
Of the stormwater run-off.
MI. Aud raised the question,
however. whether this expense
would be justified since only 2
per cent OF the stormwater dis
charge is raw sewage.

D. c. Firm
To Build
NewOffices

The Government Employees
Insurance Co. today announced
1t will build q new headquar-
tiers building at an estimated
cost Of S. million to start with
in a few days and be completed
early in 1859.
Leo Goodwin, president and
board chairman of the firm in
corporated here In 1887, said
the building will have a 28-
acre site at Wisconsin and
Western avenues NV, facing
on Willard avenue, in Mont
gomery County.
The company had three en-
ployes at the time Of its for
nation two decades ago, and
now has approximately 1000.
At present it occupies two
buildings, one at the northeast
corner Of Vermont avenue and
K street NV. and the other at
the southeast corner of Four
tenth and L streets. One of
these buildings will be retained
as headquarters of the life
insurance operations. Casualty
insurance employees will occupy
the new building.
The casualty insurance firm
has $4,000 policy holders and
assets exceeding $48 million.
The life insurance firm has in

than he can cope with. The
result is the all-too-familiar
ramshackle wreck Of a once fine
house.
Another common sight is the
home Of an elderly couple now
engulfed in q neighborhood Of
rooming houses. frozen custard
stands. used car lots. and till-
ing stations. In many such
cases. sentimental ties to their
home no doubt made the FAM
lily impervious to the signs Of
neighborhood decay until 1t
was too late.
Overcoming Resistance
Much of the resistance to
taking a fresh look at their
housing needs by older families
may be eliminated If it can be
made clear that the outcome
of a re-examination need not
necessarily lead to the conclu-
sion that q new or q different
house is necessary. and in no
case will 1t cast reflection upon
the families choice Of its pres
ent living quarters.
Rather, the outcome Of the
investigation will demonstrate
that either the present house
can be made to serve It's owners
adequately for many years to
come by eliminating incipient
hazards, and by adapting the
structure to the needs Of its
aging occupants, or 1t can serve
as an important financial asset
in obtaining quarters better
suited to the family's later
needs.
Criteria for Re-evaluati0n
In selecting o suitable house
for the later years or in adapt
ing q presently occupied unit
to the needs Of an aging fam
lily. two main considerations
must be borne in mind.
The first has to do with the
physical well-being of older
people. Sooner or later. but in
evitably, people as they age be-
come less nimble, their refiexes
less quick. Their perception di-
minisheS, their strength de-
clines and some significant
proportion Of them acquire all
ments rendering extensive
physical exertion hazardous.
There Is also b tendency to

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-13

the very nub OF the problem.
Better than two-thirds of our
families are home-owners by
the time they reach IS years
Of age. Many of them have
spent the better portion Of
their adult lives building up an
equity in the home in which
they live.
Not uncommonly they feel
that II they own their home
free and clear by the time they
retire they can. at least. be
assured Of a roof over their
heads, come what may.
Having consciously planned
it this way, it Is only natural
that families on the threshold
Of retirement may resist, even
resent. any suggestion that they
ought to review their housing
situation.
The matter is further COM
plicated by sentimental and
emotional considerations. In
evitably. there are many cher
ished memories which 60 along
with any house in which q
family has lived for any signif1-
cant period Of time, Then too.
there are neighborhood associ-
atoms which families under.
standably are loath to consider
severing. And so 1t is that ra-
tional consideration of their
later-year housing needs is
postponed or avoided by all too
many families as they approach
retirement.
Lack Of Forward Planning
The result Of this lack Of
planning is to be seen in every
community across the length
and breadth Of America.
Elderly people rattle around in
houses far too large for their
present needs. as they continue
to occupy homes bought to
meet the needs Of a family with
several children, all Of whom
have now married and set UP
homes of their own. OldSters
struggle to operate and main
tain large houses which, as the
years pass by. become increas-
ingly burdensome for them to
handle.
In fact. with failing strength
and diminishing income, many

Economically, Admiral Dufek
said, the Antarctic seemed to

that the finding of rich veins Of

The greatest single revision the

resented.
The figure for United States
private investment abroad is
