Reveals Thyroid Cancer Cells Are Divided Into Two Classes

(Editor’s note —This is the third of a series on the latest cancer research.) BY PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright, 1948, by United Press) New York, Feb. 4—(UP)—Research treatment of thyroid cancer has disclosed the significant fact that the cells of thyroid cancer are in two classes. One is called "left-of-center,” the other “right-of-cen-ter.” Such a description was given by one of the scientists of the “thyroid team’ at New York’s Memorial hospital for cancer and allied diseases. The difference between the two groups, he said, is simple. The “lefties” are those that grow wildly, far different from the original thyroid tissue. The "rightists” are more conservative, he said. They fallow the pattern of the original thyroid tissue and therefore are the ones that tend to function a* the parent gland. Those who have thyroid cancer may consider themselves lucky if their cancer is in the “rightist” group. Only about 15 percent of thyroid cancer patients are in this group and they can be helped with radioactive iodine, a by-product of the atomic energy ovens at Oak Ridge, Tenn. The thyroid gland is located just below the Adams’s apple in the neck and weighs barely an ounce. It has the all important duty of manufacturing a compound which is active in regulating (the utilization of oxygen for human needs. The thyroid makes the compound thyroxin from iodine which is picked up from the blood stream. The Memorial hospital "thyroid team,” composed of physicists, (chemists, internal medicine ax-i Attendance Report For County Schools Root Township Is Attendance Leader The Root township schools and the Monmouth high school led grade and’high schools, respectively, “in attendance records for the final period of the first semester, according to a report released today by Melvin Mallonee, county attendance officer. The Root township schools established an attendance percentage of 96.7. Other leaders in the grades: Hartford, 96.2; French, 95.8; St. Mary’s, 95.7; Jefferson. 95.5; Blue Creek, 95.1. Next to the Monmouth high school with a percentage of 96.5 are the following: Kirkland, 96.4; Hartford, 95.3; Pleasant Mills, 94.4; Geneva, 94; Monroe, 93.8; Jefferson, 93.3. Enrollment for the period in the grades totalled 1,969 and in the high schools, 66’2 for a grand total of 2,571. Percentage of attendance in all grade schools was 96 percent and all high schools 94.8 percent. There were 2,313 days absence reported in the grades and 784 days in the high schools for a total of 3,097 in all. Os this absence, 82.7 percent in the grades was caused by sickness and 48.5 percent in the high schools for the same reason. Set Highest Records The seventh and eighth grades at Kirkland, taught by Irene Friedley, set the best record with 98.1 percent in attendance. Other leaders, with the teachers listed: R. M. Houk, Preble and Mary Schlenagenhauf, Linn Grove, 97.8; Myrtle Onion. Monmouth fifth and sixth. 97.5; Freda Lehmbn Myers. French, and Robert Brown, Kirkland fifth and sixth and Myron Lehman, Monmouth seventh and eighth. Thelma Hendricks. Pleasant Mills seventh and eighth, all with 97; Helen Kenney, Jefferson third and fourth, Vera Owens, Monmouth first and second, and H. C. Long, Geneva seventh, all with 96:9; Jesteen Cole, Pleasant Mills third and fourth, and W. E. Ufifelman St. John’s fifth to eighth, both 96.7. Beulah Augsburger, Hartford first to third, Elmer Ehrsam, Muensterberg, and Evelyn Stuckey, Sprunger. the latter two in Monroe township, all with 96.6; Hsthei] Hirschy, Winchester tn Monroe township, F.

l perts. pathologists and technicians, ' is studying the thyroid and its relation to radioactive iodine from all angles. The team is treating only the most carefuly selected patients, i some of whom have the most seri-| ous type of thyroid cancer. In studies at Memorial and other hospitals, including Massachusetts 1 General hospital. Boston, which is cooperating in the Memorial pro- ’ ject, it has been found that “left of center” cancers that have spread from the neck can be made in some cases to pick up iodine. Such a phenomenon has occurred in some cases following complete removal of the original gland by surgery or by massive doses of radioactive iodine. In a significant number of cases the cancerous thyroid tissue that had spread to other parts of the body began to collect iodine. There have been two theories advanced on what makes the spreading tumors show an increased capacity to collect radioactive iodine. The first theory is that the normal thyroid in the neck was "stealing" all the iodine that was being taken by the patient, leaving little or none for the distant tumors. The other theory is that removal of the original gland created a need for thyroid hormone to which the distant cancefaresponded by attempting to assume the function of the parent gland. The Memorial scientists presently do not know which theory, if either, is correct, but are hoping that the second theory is right. If such a theory can be proved to be correct, then a most important step in cancer research will have been made. That would mean that a certain cancerous growth could be made to revert toward a normal function. Opens Fruit Market Along Highway 27 Vith the developing of several places of business along U.

Field sent a letter to the Chicago Federation of Labor which said that the two papers had never had a chance to show what they could do under normal conditions. The strike began’ shortly after Field purchased the Times and began producing both papers from the Times plant. The letter w r as read at the Federation’s monthly meeting last night and was broadcast over the Federation's radio station along with a reply by John J. Pilch, president of the striking Chicago Typographical union. Field charged that Pilch, in a recent radio address, boasted that the union was responsible for the merger. He accused Pilch of “contemplating with glee the possibility that he might go further and close down the operation of the Sun and Times altogether.” Field asked: "Is it not in fact misguided thinking on the part of a responsible labor leader to gloat over the elimination of numerous jobs in several lines of endeavor, particularly when the source of those jobs may be very difficult, if not impossible, to replace?” The struck Chicago papers, the Sun and Times, Daily News, Tribune, Herald-American and Journal of Commerce, have continued publishing by using a photo-en-graving process during the printers’ strike. Pilch did not deny Field’s statements but skid the publishers’ "reverse should be an object lesson to all others who plan unionbusting.” “Union employes and liberals were the Chicago Sun’s biggest supporters and readers,” Pilch said. “Field should have recognized that. He did not. His casualty rate is now 50 percent—one of his two papers is gone. His casualty rate may soon be 100 percent if he continues to fight unions.” Pilch said that only the largest and wealthiest Chicago publishers had chosefl to 'fight the union and tiiit z susber as p’jt-.'tfJl-i ers had csntitfueS friendly rela1' tions. 4

The note said the Romanian government also had pledged that freedom of the press, speech, religion and assembly would be assured the Romanian people. "However, notwithstanding the citegorical nature of these international commitments, the Romanian government undertook virtually at once to subvert them, and throughout 1946 steadily violated their spirit and letter,” the note said. “All manner of chicanery and extreme physical violence was employed by or with the consent of the Romanian government to reduce the legitimate political activity of any elements not subservient to the controlling minority. “Every one of the assurances given was either ignored or sabotaged.” The United States also reiterated its previous charge that the trial of Dr. Juliu Maniu and fellow members of the Romanian peasant party was “specifically prejudiced.” [RjR ■ \ SAFE AT HOME?
