U. S., Allies Working For "Atoms For Peace”

“ATOMS FOR PEACE” . (Radioactivity, deadly result of a nuclear blast, may be one of mankind's best weapons against cancer and other diseases. as explained in this last article of a series on “Atoms For Peace. ’) By EDWIN DIAMOND CHICAGO (INS) — Radioactivity—the .deadly aftotreffect of an atomic or hydrogen bomb explo-sion-may turn out to be one of mankind's best friends,. It is being mobilised in the fight against disease and has taken on the champion killer of them allcancer. - « In the uphill and presently indecisive fight, the same searing radiation rays which maimed thousands in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are now pinpointing and destroying cancerous growths and tumors. Cancer experts, traditionally non-committal, point to work by Dr. J. W. J. Carpenter of the Argonne cancer research hospital in Chicago. Said Dr. Carpenter; “Approximately 75 percent of all cured cancer Is beaten by radiatlon.” ■ At Argonne hospital, operated by the University of Chicago tor the atomic energy commission, Dr. Carpenter and his colleagues hare assembled an arsenal of “atomic artillery" for warring on disease. The hospital is an atomic-age development — designed, built and specially equipped to use high energy radiation source* in th’e study and treatment of cancer. It’s radiation-proof throughout. Two of its eight floors are below ground level so the earth forms a natural radiation shield. Rooms on patient floors are separated by eight-inch thick concrete walls and have plastic floors to facUltate removing traces of contamination. Departing visitors must “weighin” by stepping on a geiger counter ’’scale’’ ’which flashes a green “OK" on a red “contaminated" signal. Nurses wear radiation-de-tecting badges pinned on their uniforms. Reasons for these precautions is the potent rays emanating from Argonne's No. 1 weapon in its arsenal —the radio-isotopes. These “hot" substances are similar to the isotopes used in industry and agriculture. They are made radioactive — that is, give off powerful rays —by undergoing bombardment in an atomic reactor furnace. • Medicine uses chiefly ”hflt” iodine, gold, Pbosphores, silyar, chromium and cobalt for direct treatment and indirectly in diagnosis of diseases and in basic research. Among aliments treated by ra-

McCarthy Removes Self From Campaign Plans Few Speeches For Fall Campaign WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy has removed himaeif from the 1954 congressional campaigns today except for two talks in Illinois and possible radio and television appearances. The Wisconsin Republican, subject to censure charges investigated by a special senate committee, announced Thursday night tbat he will do little speaking In the fall political campaigns. Instead, be declared, he will work to expose "graft, corruption and Communists inherited from the prior administration." Meanwhile, the Democratic party announced that ex-President Harry S. Truman — piesumably McCarthy's chief target —, would also absent himself from the political wars except for one talk in Kansas City. Truman's decision to withdraw from active speaking was said to have been made on advice of bls physicians. McCarthy said he would fulfil! three speaking engagements this month and that only one of them was "political”—a talk at Wheaton, 111., on Kept. 26. He said he would make "non-politlcal" speeches at Omaha, Neb., on Sept. 25 and at Bloomington, UL, Oct. 1. In Illinois, Joseph T. Meek, who has previously praised McCarthy, is the Republican candidate for the senate again* incumbent Sen. Paul Douglas (D). < Democratic national chairman Stephen A Mitchell said that the decision of the Wisconsin senator not to stump for GOP candidates indicated the Republicans "don't want anything to do with him." Mitchell added: "He (McCarthy) Will do a lot of harm in all three places where he speaks.” School Uniform PAiftlS, (INS) — Bulgarian refugee sources in Paris say the Bulgarian government has decreed tbat all school children must wear a Russlan-style uniform starting the school year.

dio-isotopes are skin cancers, cancer of the thyroid, acute luekemia, Hodgkin's disease, brain tumors and goiters. Indirectly, radiocarbon or “hot” C-14 is being used to develop new drugs and study basic body processes. New gains against tuberculosis. cardiac and blood vessel diseased. hay fever and possibly asthma have been achieved through tracer isotopes. Os particular concern to millions of cigarette smokers are studiee using “atomic cigarettes" to test the relationship—if any—between lung cancer and smoking. Turning to actual medical accomplishments of nuclear furnace by-products in the fight against cancer, here Is the record: Radiologists have made inroads in the cancer toll, using a battery of high voltage, deep-penetrating ray machines to destroy tumors and cancerous growths. These weapons throw a Uesuedestroylng beam on cancerous ceils, biologically, they can break down the atoms and molecules in the body, thus stopping or slowing down the rapid growth characteristic of cancer cells. Most successful treatments have been recorded in skin cancer therapy where the radiation beams register the Jr fullest power. Dr. Carpter of Argonne reportted advances in radiation treatment now can clear up 98 percent of all skii) cancers if treated in time. Today u with the increased power of radiation sources, deep-seated tumors are “in range" of atomic artillery like the new 60-million volt microwave linear accelerator, the Van de Graaff generator and the cobalt radiation unit. Easiest to administer of all the radiation treatments are the “atomic cocktails." The cocktails are now standard treatment for cancers of the thyroid and have halted previously reluctant cases. * The "atomic cocktail” consists simply of radioactive iodine dissolved in plain water and served to the patient in an ordinary paper cup. Today, ft's standard for thyroids. Nobody ever will serve you an “atomic cigarette,” however. The A-cigarettes are restricted to ingenious puffing machines which Imitate the inhaling action of smokers. The mechanical smoker then puffs them, the smoke is “-cap tured,” its chemical components gpalyted and measured by means of the<T4 “tag."’ If cigarette smoking Is the possible cause of lung cancer or even an aggravating factor, then the guilty element can be separated and identified—by carbon tagging.

Vice President On Cross Country Tour Nixon Lashes Out At Democratic Party WICHITA, Kas. (INS) — VicePresident (Richard M. Nixon has lashed out at the Democratic party and said “Trumanism” was unable to cope with the “four-headed mon-ster—-Communism, Corruption, Korea and Control.” Nixon declared in an address at Wichita Thursday night that if the Democrats gain control of congress in the November election it will cost the nation ”11 billion dollars or $l5O for every American taxpayer.” • r The vice president spoke in a cross-country campaign tour that will take him through 31 state*. Nixon charged that a Democratic congress "sabotaged” the program of former President Herbert Hoover to deal with the depression of the early 1930 s and said the reverse was true in 1946 when Republicans controlled the 80th contress under Former President Harry 8. Truman. He added: "I am going to be blunt about it. If the Democrats control congress, it will mean a stalemate.” In a speech at Topeka earlier Thursday, the vice president a»Serted that Mr. Eisenhower has carried out more of his campaign promises than any other, president "within our memory.” Nixon said that if voters who supported the chief executive tn the 1952 election “remain staunch” the Republicans will win in November.

New Red Threat To Nationalist Area , Warships, Planes Dispatched To Area TAIPBH (INS) — Chinese Nationalist warplanes and warships were dispatched in large numbers today to the Tachen area of the China coast to meet a new Communist threat. ' . A Nationalist communique reported that “large contingents” of planes and ships. presumably many contributed on lease from the United States, were sent north from Formosa after Red planes were sighted in the Tachen area. Attention in the “pocket” war between the- Nationalists and mainland • based Communists switched north from Qustnoy.to the Tachen islands TbOTWHiy when Red artillery opened up the “new front.” Red guns on Tumen Island oft the Chekiang Province coast fired on Nationalist positions on Yicbang Island to start the new action.

SAYS IKE NEEDS {Continued tram Page One) recovery IS steady, and it seems to be only a matter of time before 1 shall be back to normal and able to help the Democratic party whenever and wherever I may be needed.” This statement was in opposition to words of Chairman Mitchell who said Thursday that the former president would deliver only one speech during the coming campaign at Kansas City, Oct. 16, because of his health. Truman’s letter skid that in only. 20 months the OOP has shown its incapacity to govern the nation, adding: "Torn b/ bickering and internal dissension incapable of any decisive action, except in the matter of giving special favors to special interests it has dissipated our leadership of the free world and seriously undermined the 20 years ot Dem Pei* tic reform and recovery from 12 long years of Republican migrate—'l92l-1833." The former president opined that the Republicans have not learned a thing since 1896. He s*id: "Whenever the Republicans gain control of this great government of ours, they try to turn the clock back to Benjamin Harrison aud William. McKinley. It just can’t be done.” SOVIET RUSSIA (Continued friwn Page One) new production was based on the very nature of atomic tests — they arb-highly expensive operations. costing the U.S, more than 25 million dollars, each, for example.
