Cancer Cure
TotuI Put at
One Million

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Jan. 16
(AP) An estimated l million
Americans can look back upon
cancer and say, I've had it"
They are considered cured.
Another 100000 probably are
cured but they haven't yet gone
five years without symptoms Of
recurrence. The five-year mark
is the widely accepted standard
for use of the word cure.
The estimates were reported
today by DR.. Harold s. Diehl,
head of research and medical
affairs for the American
Cancer Society. He addressed
symposium Of the Arizona
division of the society.
DR.. Diehl's estimates we're
derived from statistics gathered
in Connecticut over a long
period and from United States
Public Health Service figures.
The Connecticut figures long
have been used as standards in
cancer statistics.
The research leader reported
also some figures indicating de-
creaSes in the last 20 years in
the death rates for cancer Of
the lip, stomach, liver, mouth
and skin among white males.
Among women, he added,
there have been decreases of
40 per cent or more in cancer
of the lip. stomach, liver,
womb, mouth and skin.
But thre were increases in
deaths in men from cancers Of
the kidney, pancreas and a COL
lossal jump of 400 per cent in
lung cancer. Leukemia. a can
cer-like disease Of the blood,
also increased.
Increases of so per cent or
more were shown in the death
rate from cancer Of the ovary,

"A civil servant has relin-

which is enjoyed by those who
are engaged IN private en-
deavor. The civil servant has
tenure; but he does not have
and cannot have-the right to
use collective economic force to
set the terms and conditions Of
his employment.
For this reason, those who
do have the right and authority
to set those terms and condi-
tions have an obligation to lean
over backward to be fair.
Wages, hours and working con-
ditions cannot be settled at the
table of collective bargaining
They can only be settled on
the basis of considering legiti-
mate requests upon their merits.

contamination, and almost everything that
the modern home can do without. By having
such an agency, the Army has protected its
own people from health hazards and safe
guarded the Government from innumerable
claims and damage suits.
Although the agency is located at the
Army Chemical Center, there is no connection
between the two organizations. The agency is
interested in everyday health hazards caused
by almost anything except chemical, biologi-
CAL and Pathological warfare agents, all Chem
ical Center concerns.
A special puzzler-what makes hair turn
green-came several years ago. Tanners work
ing under Army contract at shoe factory we're
beset by this malady. Although medical texts
could point to no cause for the bizarre condi
ton, the survey team traced it to a chemical
used to mildewproof shoe leather.
With the expanding use of radiation for
medical and industrial purposes, the agency's
experts are called on frequently to recommend
methods of protecting personnel working
around radiation sources When the Army
builds nuclear reactors, these experts are on
hand to make sure that safeguards built into
these devices work. protecting not only the
