of DR.. Kenneth Scott of the
University of California Medi-
cal School. They were made
public by the California Divi-
sion of the American Cancer
Society. which supported the
work in part.
Uncovering the cancer cells
growth secret required the re-
searchers to make their way
through an unusually compli-
Gated biochemical maze.
First they noted that cancer
cells are greedy for iodine. They
get it out of the blood stream.
diverting it from its normal
target. the thyroid gland. They
also get it by breaking up
thyroid hormone.
Then the investigators found
out what the cancer cells do
with the iodine. They use it
to build a prote.n-like sub
stance, an Misunderstanding
polypeptide.
This polypeptide attacks and
disintegrates mast cells, which
are normal body types. From
the dlsintegration products the
cancer cells get serotonin, a
hormone-like substance which
they apparently need to achieve
their wild. uncontrolled growth.
DR.. Scott injected the cancer
polypeptide into a rat to
destroy the animals mast cells.
Hours later. after the mast cell
debris had been carried away
by the rat blood stream, the ex-
perimenter injected cancer
cells into the rat. The cancer
cells did not grow.
Then the researchers injected
cancer cells into another
animal and quickly admins
tered the polypeptide. This time
the polypeptide tore down the
rats mast cells just in time to
supply the newly implanted
cancer cells with serotonin. The
cancer cells grew luxuriantly
From this DR.. Scott reasoned
that If cancer cells need sero-
tonin for growth, they can be
stopped by lack of it. He began
a search for something to block
Serotonin.
Other researchers had found
that serotonin is blocked by the
drug. lysergic acid diethyla-
mine. CLSD). which is much
used by pSychiatrists to induce
madness and hallucinations in
human experimental work on
mental disease.
DR.. Scott tried LSD on rats
with rapidly growing trans
planted cancers. 1t slowed the
malignant growth by as much
as 80 to 80 per cent and IN
some cases stopped it entirely.

He injected normal animals
with LSD, then planted cancer

One drawback against trying
LSD to stop cancer in humans
is that. to be effective. enough
would have to be given to poi
son the patient.
But there are some chemical
derivatives of LSD that work
about as well. DR.. Scott re-
ported. One of them is 81 times
as potent in blocking sero-
tonin as LSD and does not
produce madness. But all Of
them are too toxic for human
use.

VIII Meet Privately
To preserve the status Of
Britain. France and the United
States, their foreign ministers
will meet privately for one
hour Tuesday morning before
they are joined by DR.. Won

Then they are to begin de-
veloping a common policy to
meet Soviet threats to Gust the
West from West Berlin and to
turn over control Of Berlin
access routes to East German
officials.
President Eisenhower won
British Prime Minister Macmil-
lan's approval in their talks
at Camp David last week end
for q two-phase approach.
Long Range Settlement
First. it was agreed, the
Western powers should make
q real effort to obtain Soviet
agreement for a long-range
settlement Of all European
problems, particularly the re-
unification Of Germany in free
dom.
In this phase the object will
be to formulate q compromise
plan which comes close enough
to Soviet detectives to force
the Kremlin to accept or to
be exposed before the world
for refusing to follow through
on its own proclaimed aims.
There is little hope in the
West that Russia will accept
any plan that provides realis-
tically for German reuniflca-
ton or even federation. But
making the effort to reach
agreement puts the United
States in q good propaganda
position before the world.
Time to Negotiate
II the long-range settlement
cannot be reached, Britain and
the United States have agreed,
there will pe time enough then
to negotiate with Russia for
some interim settlement on Ber-
lin. Earlier, Prime Minister
Macmillan had been ready to
take up the Berlin problem i'm
mediately. without wider-based
talks.
The Soviet Union has threat
ened to give East Germany con-
troll Of the Vests access routes

lin and making it a free city"

PITTSBURGH, July e.
Harmon Killebrew's weekend
batting display against the
Yankees, Vhom he clipped for
a pair Of home runs and six
runs batted in, enhanced his
prospects Of playing the entire
All-Star Game for the Ameri-
can League here tomorrow
Unless the game is rout,
Manager Casey Stengel is likely
to string along with the Sena-
to's powerful young third base
man, who leads the majors in
home runs with % and PAGES
the American League with TO
runs batted in.
Stengel says he won't play
Mickey Mantle, his top slugger,
unless he needs him. Mantle

lineup, but it has been thought
that he'd see early action. An
injured right ankle forced
Mantle to sit out yesterdays

second successive four hitter.
May Use Sievers Early
With the Yankees principal
slugger likely to be merely a
dugout decoration, Stengel may
be inclined to leave Killebrew
at third base on a full-time
basis. Also, he may wedge the
Senators Roy Sievers into the
game as a replacement for Bill
Skowron at first base after the
Yankees bruiser has played at
least three innings.
Sievers also pounded pair
of homers as the Senators split
four games with the Yankees.
Roy, Killebrew and Jim Lemon
all connected yesterday before
a crowd of 22,933 as the Sen
ators boosted their home-run
production to 101. Killebrew,
who socked the teams first

blasted its Tooth.
While Sievers convinc e d
Stengel that his long-lost tim
ing has returned, Killebrew
again made Caseys eyes pop
with his fifth homer of the
year against the world cham
pions.
KillebreW is likely to be the
object of most of the fans
curiosity tomorrow. He's a
total stranger in this vicinity.
Lemon Gets No. 20
It was Sievers who got the

homer into the leftfleld stands

Partly because of the ALL

hold a two-game lead in the
American League race.
With three days of rest
ahead, Manager Joe Gordon of
the Tribe used Herb Score and
Gary Bell, a pair of starting
pitchers, in relief yesterday and
it paid off with a 5-4, 10-inning

The Indians also jumped
five games ahead of the YAM
