What the scientists would like to dis
cover is single key test which would
simply and surely detect the disease,
such as the blood test which is used to
reveal syphilis.
While it is evident that great prog
ress is being made in the field of can
Ger research, there has been no research
break-through which would indicate
that we are winning the battle against
cancer. An even greater effort by both
private research and government re-
search will have to be made if we are
to control this dreadful disease.

Cancer On Increase

IT is expected that cancer will claim
the lives of 275,00O Americans this
year This represents an increase over
last year and illustrates the fact that
despite recent medical research adj
vances, the battle against cancer is
still losing one.
Medical scientists now believe that
the best hope for immediate gains
against the nations number two killer
is in developing new tools to diagnose
the disease and in the greater use of
present diagnostic tools.
There are now about two dozen cam
Ger prevention clinics over the country.
These clinics offer to people who do not
have any of the symptoms useful in
self detection, such as bleeding. persis-
tent cough or unexpla ned body
growths chance to get cancer check
up. "A typical check up would cost about
thirty dollars and require about forty
five minutes.
Information from one of these elm
les indicates that people whose can
cerous condition was first detected at
the prevention clinic had better chance
of being cured than the average cam
Ger patient in the nation. AS a matter
of fact, the cure rate is about twice as
high where detection comes from the

The antidote is: safe speed, careful

this you may become victim.
For further safety equip your vehi-

Conservatism Growing

THOUGHT in the United States may
have swung as far to the cleft" as
it will 60. Conservatism is being hound
ed and villified on the political welkin,
in magazines, the press and other media.
There appears to be concerted drive
to make conservatives appear ludicrous
and unpopular. When such an anti
movement begins it is evidence that it's
antagonist is making some Roadway.
Thus it appears to us that conservatism
is having some effect.
"Rightists", is the name for conser-
vatives, proper name if it We're to in
dictate the opposite of 'leftists." But
is conservatism the opposite of liberia
ism?
Conservatism has not moved far
right except in comparison to liberia
lism which has moved so far left The
conservatives we have observed are pro-
gressive. They believe in orderly pro-
gress, controlled by fundamental laws,
- laws of God and of man which are
as Interchangeable as the laws of the
Modes and Persians. When man trans
crosses God-made laws he suffers the
consequences invariably. When nation
transgresses its man-made laws, (the
Constitution in America), there is
trouble ahead When nation trans
crosses God-made laws and man-made
laws, the time has come to stop, look
and listen! That time is present.

valued currency. Chile could
not sell these farm products in
any other market.
Problem Being Met
With the help of the United
States and international lend
ing institutions, that problem
Is now being overcome. Chile
devalued its currency in Oct
ober. and United States officials
confidently expect the Cuban
trade to dwindle off to nothing
with the opening Of interna-
tional markets TO the cheapened
Chilean products.

The prelates were in session

Latin American nations retain
ing diplomatic relations with
Cuba. And, more important
to United States policy-makers
at the moment, Chilean trade
with Cuba is running at $40
million q year-the highest in
Latin America.
Stage is Set
United States officials say
that developing policy toward
Cuba In the 'post-crisis" phase
will be one of the central
themes of conversations when
the two presidents meet here
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The stage has been set well
for success. The big break
came on October 2S, when
Chile and all other Latin
American states In the Organ
ization Of American States
Unanimously indorsed the arms
blockade Of Cuba.
Since then, the Chilean gov-
ernment has shown gathering
sympathy for the United States
position. Mr.. Castro has helped
considerably. The Chilean gov
ernment recently intercepted
large quantities Of Communist
propaganda sent to the capital
Of Santiago in the Cuban dip
lomatic pouchs and fired off q
stiff letter Of protest in return.

In his acceptance Of Presi-
dent Kennedy's invitation to
come to the United States be-

President Alessandri glowingly
congratulated Mr.. Kennedy on

from Santiago say the Chilean

dence Of the satisfaction both
governments feel. The Chileans
for their part have taken the
lead In carrying out crucial
self-help provisions Of the Al
lance for Progress in Latin
America.
10-Year Plan
Chile has presented a 10
plan. which has been approved
by Alliance for Progress ma
chinery here. The World Bank
has agreed to gather together
foreign financing necessary
about $l.3 billion over q ten
year period. The other $50 bill
lion investment foreseen in the
plan is to come from Chile it
self.
Despite all those optimistic
signs, the political scene in
Chile remains chaotic. The
extreme left remains strong
and bitterly opposed to the
Alessandri government. Maneu-
vering already has be gun for
the crucial presidential elec-
tions in 1854.
The chief threat comes from
the Communists and socialists
who-together with two small
parties - from the Popular
Action Front (FRAP). In 1858,
the FRAP ran Socialist Senator
Salvador Allende for President,
and he lost to Mr.. Alessandri by
only $4,000 votes. A similar
contest is likely to be seen in
1884. with the verdict still in
the balance.
But here again the Cuban
crisis has worked in favor of
the more moderate center and
rightist parties supporting
President Alessandri. The obvi-
GUS split between the Castro
government and the Soviet gov
ernment over the missiles tenn
