Cancer Society's Professional And
Public Education Efforts Expanded

In its annual report. recently re-
leased speaking OF noteworthy
advances in all areas" Of cancer
control, the American Cancer So
ciety calls attention to ''coordi-
mated program Of professional and
public education aimed at sharply
reducing the number Of deaths
from cancers Of the colon and
rectum.
Commenting on the report, Will
Inn Perkins, Jr., Lynchburg. Presi-
dent Of the Virginia Division, said
the Society is now an organization
OF 100000 volunteers who have the
conquest of cancer as their ultimate
aim. Their immediate goal is the
saving of as many lives as possible
He said more than $1,000 addi-
tlonal lives each year can be saved
with present medical skills if the
p u b &c is informed about til
dangers of cancer an seeks advice
from recognized sources.
The American Cancer Society es-
Inmates that as many as N per
cert Of the cases having cancer of
the colon and rectum can be saved
with early and proper treatment
However. less than 80 per cent is
being saved today.
The first step in the Society's pro-
gram to emphasize the possible
cure rate in such cancers will be
to engage the support of state and
county medical societies.
The Society reports progress in
ITS uterine detection program and
states that uterine cancer could be
virtually wiped out if all women
had simple cervical cell examl-

Among research gains cited bv
the Society were the development

Tall, soft-spoken Christian
Archibald Herter has a repu-
tation for winning and keeping
friends.
This talent has paid OF
handsomely in his political
career. II will be valuable too
when he becomes Secretary Of
State, the job President Eisen-
hover yesterday picked him to
fill.
In a way, MIR. Herter grew
up In the foreign affairs field.
He was born 81 years ago in
Paris, where his parents. artists
Albert and Adele Herter, were
studying.
Young Chris got his early
education in Paris. then was
brought TO New York at about
age 10 and sent to private
schools. He graduated from
Harvard University with hon
ors in 1918.
Mr.. Herter had first decided
he wanted to be an architect.
But tales of life abroad caught
his imagination as a young
man and he enlisted in the
United States foreign service.
Barely Escaped in War
He was sent to Germany
and just barely got out safely
after the United States entered
World War I against the
Kaiser.
Trying to reach neutral ter
ritory, Mr.. Herter was arrested
as a suspected spy. One officer
favored shooting him on the
spot, but Mr.. Herter managed
to convince him that he was
entitled to safe convoy as a
member of the United States
Embassy.
The youthful diplomat tried
to get into the Army, but he
was turned down. Too tall
6 feet S inches-and too light
So he took on other jobs, such
as serving as secretary Of a
commission to negotiate a
prisoner of war treaty with
Germany after the war.
In 1919, Mr.. Herter went to
Germany with Herbert Hoover
to help direct the American
Relief Council there. Later he
became an assistant to Mr.
Hoover who had become Sec
rotary of Commerce.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-19

to his fast growth as a youth,
Mr.. Herter cannot now walk
far or stand for a long time
without pain. He often supports
himself with lightweight
crutches. He had to give ur
tennis and horseback riding
a few years ago.
AS for his mind, Mr.. Hertel
is reputed to have q tremen-
dous capacity for absorbing
and retaining information.
Mr.. Herter, like Mr.. Dulles
likes to travel. There is some
doubt among State Department
aides, however, that he will fly
overseas as frequently as Mr.
Dulles did,
The Herters were married
August IS, 1917, and have foul
children: Christian Archibald
jr., Frederic Pratt, Adele MRS
Joseph Serone) and Eliot
Miles. There are a dozen grand
children.

| hacker Of Dwight D. Eisenhower
for President. And In 1855 he
agreed to return 10 Washing
ton, as Undersecretary OF State.
Meanwhile. during his decade
on Capitol Hin, as well as ear
lier, he had become known for
his activities In foreign rela-
tons.
One venture In which he was
particularly prominent was the
House Select Committee which
went TO Europe In l947 to see
what relief from America
might be needed. Mr.. Herter
was vice chairman and an act
ing leader Of this group Of 10
Congressmen. The reports is
sued by the committee upon its
return have been credited with
doing much towards the later
congressional approval Of the
Marshall Plan.
Those who know Mr.. Herter
well say he has made an effort
to keep the friendships he
formed during his years in Con-
gress. This can De a great asset
to a Secretary Of State who
often has to go to Capitol Hill
to defend policies not always
appealing to some Congress-
men.
Enjoys Chats In Home
In fact, aides say. one Of his
relaxations is in talking with
good friends. He likes to have
a small number over to his
house on an evening. He and
his wife, the former Mary
Caroline Pratt, also like to
play bridge.
The new Secretary Of State
has another hobby which is
the same Of that Of his pred
ecessor; He likes to 60 SWIM
ming. Still another Herter sport
is duck hunting.
Shooting ducks does not re-
quire q great deal of walking

and vice president Of The
Sportsman, l927-37. He also
turned a hand at teaching
school as a visiting lecturer on
government and international
relations at Harvard University,
1929-30.
The youthful Herter got into
Massachusetts, politics in 1881,
winning a seat In the lower
chamber of the Massachusetts,
general court. BY 1899, he was
speaker of the Massachusetts
House, a post he kept for four
years.
BY 1912 he was ready for
bigger game-Congress. He
barely managed to squeak by
in his first try-by a margin Of
1900 votes. His stock Of friends
mounted fast after that, how
ever. In 1914 his plurality rose
to 10000 notes. BY l948 it was
81 900 votes.
The story was much the same
when he decided to run for gov
ernor of Massachusetts against
Paul A. Dever in 1852. Most OBJ
servers didn't think he had a
chance, but he came through
with a 44,000-vote edge.
Won by Big Margin
When he ran for governor a
second time in 1854 Mr.. Herter
piled up a 1922 margin over
his opponent, even though he
was running as a Republican
in a year when Democrats
! seemed to be ruling the roost.

AFTER DARK

Yvonne De Carlo, as person.
able a refugee from Hollywood
as has turned up around here
IN some time, energies as a
young woman of charm and
talent in the musical revue
that brings her to the Casino
Royal. She displays, among
other things, more versatility
than her movies might have
led you to expect.
She turns out at one point,
for instance, to have a surpriS-
ingly good voice, with which
she does full justice to a Car
men" aria. She also, with the
aid of a guitar wizard named
Manuelo, proves herself a girl
with quite a fair for flamenco
dancing, a special art that can
not be practiced by just any
old dancer. She has humor, too,
as is made evident in her i'm
personation of a French chan
teuSe.
Unfortunately, the vehicle for
Miss De Carlo and her talent
is in a condition all too familiar
to theatergoerS in prior-to-
Broadway Washington. At this
stage-this is the third club
Miss De Carlo has played, the
first in the United StateS-this
