characterize as anti-European
the decisions taken by Presi-

Directed at RumOrs
The statement was aimed at

some kind of secret deal In

Office also denied any secret
Nassau deal under which Brit

to such countries as Algeria
and Greece.
The West German govern

it favors British membership
in the Common Market. A

icy after Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer rejected an opposi-
ton Socialist suggestion that
he postpone his trip to Paris
next week. lest it give the i'm
preston that he supports Gen.

government argued that the

In London, the government
viewed it as certain that Brit

policy because of massive allied

Gen. de Gaulle himself was

chemlcal IN human cancer pa
tients.
The new work was outlined
today in a talk prepared for the
two-day Regional Cancer Cru
sade meeting that opened today
at the Shoreham Hotel.
DR.. J. Frank Henderson of the
pharmacology department OF
George Washington University
said the chemical, ethidium, is
used to treat infections in
cattle. Reading a British report
on how 1t fights infection, he
became intrigued by the posi-
bility that the chemical might
have an anti-cancer action.
DINA Factor
Present anti-cancer COM
pounds inhibit the growth OF
cancer cells, 1t is believed, by
preventing the cells from pro-
ducing DINA. DINA is a nucleic
acid that plays an essential role
in the heredity and reproduc-
ton of cells.
One group Of presently used
drugs, the anti-metabolites
seem to prevent production of
DINA by preventing the cells
from making the purines and
pyrimidineS that are DINA main
ingredients.
But there is an alternate way
to make DINA that the anti
metabolites don't block.
This alternative method of
production is a simple one in
which a precursor of DINA is
taken from the blood and con-
verted to DINA.
Ethidium seems to block this
alternative, DR.. Henderson said
1t does not prevent the precur-
sor's acceptance by the cell but
it seems to block the final
chemical step that would pro-
duce DINA.
New Combination
Thus, a drug with an action
like ethidium's used along with
an anti-metabolite theoretical
ly" would offer a better anti
cancer action than any combi-
nation Of drugs now in use,
Henderson said.
