The latest efforts to explore
the treatment of cancer and the
transportation of human It's
sues at NOV with a program
pointed toward the acquisition
of a tWo-nillion volt X-ray ma
chine was the subject of a pro-
gram. sponsored here by the
Woman's Club last week.
Dr.. H. Myron Kaufman, Jr.,
who is currently engaged in full
time research in bone marrow
and tissue transportation in
relation with total body irradia-
ton at MCV. said that the most
exciting phase of the research
was dependent on the installa-
ton of the two million volt x
ray machine. The machine is
commonly known as the Maxi
tI-on.
-Four proposed uses OF t h c
MaXitron were outlined by Dr.
Kaufman. They were. treat
rlf ut of cancer. whole body IL
radiation, Transportation of It's
sizes, and for study of the eff
fects of radiation.
The audience, composed pri-
marily of members of the
Wcman's Club, the Junior
Woman's Club and a group of
LongW wood College students.
were told of the advantages of
the Maxitron over the one-mil-
lion volt machine now in use at
MCV. The two clubs as mem
berS of the Virginia Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs are sup
porting the MaXitron by provld
ing feeder funds to get its
purchase underway The Farm
vile Clubs have already con
tr1bllted $3.50
Based OIL experiments With
ANIMALS subjected to rays from
the ono million volt machine
Kaufman explained plans that
would involve treating the whole
body with rays from the Maxi
tron, citing the fact that the new
machine would be adequate for
pei etration of the entire body.
After the powerful rays have
killed cancer cells spread
throughout the body, healthy
blood producing bone marrow
would be injected to produce
normal blood cells. The replace
ment bone marrow would be
some that had been removed be-
fore subsection Of the body to

During Trip

MOSCOW, Aug. 10 (AP).-
The Russians announced today
the launching of a new space
ship into orbit carrying two
dogs and other animals whose
life above the clouds will be re-
ported back by television.
Moscow Radio said the FIVE
ton space ship is in orbit at
an altitude of 800 kilometers
1888 niles.
The dogs aboard are named
Strelka and Belka, meaning
pointer or arrow and squirrel.
The other animals were not
Immediately identified, but Mos
cow Radio said these two dogs
have flown before, accompanied
by a big gray rabbit.
The broadcast said the pur-
pose Of the ship is to test how
living creatures could exist in
space-and also how they might
be brought back to earth.
Ship Can Hold Man
The broadcast did not state
whether it was planned to bring
these particular animals back
to earth. The space ship they
are in was described as large
enough for a man.
Radio equipment will report
back the condition of the ami
mails and the functioning of the
apparatus aboard and, Moscow
Radio said, television reports of
their activities also will be sent
back.
Correspondents covering the
trial of U-2 pilot Francis Gary
Powers speculated the dogs
were orbited at this particular
time to demonstrate that the
Russians could not only shoot
down high flying American
planes but could launch high
flying dogs in the interest of
science.
THE main purpose Of the
launching is the further devel-
opment of a system to support
mans life in space, security of
his flight and return to earth, 4"
said a TaSs announcement of
the launching.
The earth's first artificial
satellite with a living thing
aboard-the dog Laika-was
fired into orbit by the USSR in
November, 1857.
No attempt was made to
bring Laika back through the
atmosphere to a landing on
the earths surface. The dog
whirled around the globe from
November 3 until November
