Elks Clubs Os Indiana Help Cancer Research

(Editor's note: This is one of • MriM of articles on research underway st the Indiana University medical center which is supported by funds contributed by Elks clubs of the Hoosier State.) INDIANAPOLIS — Atomic weapons are proving effective in the war against cancer at the Indiana University medical center here, in a laboratory financed by tbe Indiana Elks. Radioactive chemicals produced at Oak Ridge are the potent artillery showing results against the Number 2 killer of man. Elks cancer funds not only provided the special facilities needed to handle these powerful "hot” materials, hot they also help to provide the chemicals and to pay technicians. An explosion-proof “chemical hood” is the heart of the laboratory, which is directed by J. E. Durlacher, I. U. instructor in radiology. and is a part of the depart nfMKof radlotogy. wtoel tu headed by Dr.'J. A. Campbell. The hood is equipped with remote controls, •« radioactive materials can be handled without danger to the technicians. Lead shields are used throughout the Moratory as further protection. and technicians wear film badges which record the total radiation they are exposed to. These badges are cheeked every two weeks to see that radiation is below tbe safe maximum. The laboratory's "new materials” Which are also proving useful in diagnosis and treatment of some glandular disorders, are radioactive isotopes, called “radioisotopes,'’ for short. They are forms Os familiar chemical elements which have been made ra-

dioactive by methods developed in recent atomic research, such as bombardment in a cyclotron. Radioisotopes can be substituted for ordinary forms of the same elements in cltomieal compounds for medical, biological, and other sciontific uses. For inetance. a radioisotope of iodine is used in the center’s laboratory for diagnosing thyroid gland disorders. Patients are given a specific amount of the isotope, then a day or two later a Geiger counter is used to find out how much of it has been picked up by the thyroid. From this can be determined whether the gland is functioning properly. The same method also helps locate some thyroid caneors. The use of isotopes for disease diagnosia is growing at ssch a pace that it gives promise of soon exceeding in importance their use in treatment. Diagnosis will be greatly extended through use of a new "scinlillatton” counter recently acquired by the laboratory. Counters are the devices which detect and measure radiations. The new scintillation counter is many times more sensitive than the older Geiger counter, and will detect radiations of an infinitesimal amount. Other Elks financed equipment in the laboratory includes four Geiger counters; electronic devices for recording measurements of counters; monitoring equipment to check different areas of the laboratory for radiations; and an electroscope for standardising radioactive materials as* they are received from Oak Ridge.

Churchill Still Hopeful Os Big Three Meeting Clinos To Hope Os Leaders Meeting To Aid Cause Os Reace LONDON (IN«>—Prime mini* ter Sir Wineton Chnrehill is clinging so the hope that a "parley at the summit” might contribute to "the cause of peace.” The 80-year-cM British leader made that plain before the home of commons voted Monday night support for his position that such east-Weet talks meet await approval of West German rearmament. Sir Winston's reassert ton taht he would continue to strive to arrange sneh a meeting led some authoritative Quarters to take the prime minister’s statement as indicative that he had no intention of retiring while his health permits him to serve. Churchill has long been known to feel that a conference among himself. President Eisenhower and the new Soviet leaders, if successful, in lessening the threat of war, would be a fitting climax to his long years of pubHc service. The prime minister's remarks during the debate indicated he was aiming at arranging a four or five power meeting after the Paris accords are approved. West Germany apparently would be the fifth nation to join the U. S.. Britain. France, and Russia. Before approving the government resolutions, commons defeated a Laborite motion to censure condemning the government for not calling an immediate Big Three conference on the ‘Terrifying” problem of the hydrogenbomb. Sir Winston paid tribute to the "knowledge of Europe possessed by President Elsenhower.” He expressed the hope that nothing Would be said in Britain to raise new “inhibitions in the American mind against the freedom of bis personal movement.” One London newspaper interpreted that reference as a 'broad bint” that a new meeting between Sir Winston and Mr. Eisenhower would be held as a prelude to planning top-level talks with the Russians. The prime minister revealed Monday that after failing to win the President's approval of top level talks last June he had sent a message to Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov suggesting a meeting between himself and then Russian Premier Georgi Malenkov. The plans collapsed because of the Geneva conference and Russian insistence on impossible conditions. But despite the Soviet rebuffs last year. Sir Winston still holds “that personal contacts by the right people, in the right place at the right time might have a valuable part to paly in the cause of peace." For this reason, the prime minister’s planned vacation in Sicily early; next _ month appears now to hie merely an opportunity for him to fortify his health to enable him to take a leading part in international peace efforts and .domestic. politics, _ Pal Ward Balks At Trial Questions Second Vice Trial Os Jelke Underway * NEW YORK (INS) —Pat Ward, 21, balked on Mie witness stand at the second vice trial of ex-playboy Mickey Jelke todaj’ when asked to flame the father of her baby.

Sixth Atomic Test Is Again Postponed Bad Weather Again Delays Explosion LAS VEGAS, Nev. (INS) — Atomic scientists postponed today the sixth nuclear explosion of the spring test series on the Nevada desert because of unfavorable weather. The atomic energy commission field office in Las Vegas announced about an hour before the scheduled predawn tower “shot” that bad weather had forced another postponement in the much delayed series of blasts, “operation teapot.” Another weather evaluation meeting Will be held at the test site, 79 miles north of Las Vegas. Wednesday to determine if the explosion can be triggered on Thursday. When the blast is touched off, it will be detonated from a 500-foot tower with some 550 soldiers crouching in trenches only 3.500 yards from ground zero—the closest any large number of troops ever has been to an atomic explosion. Overhead, more than 100 armed forces aircraft will participate In atomic war games, making practice attacks on objectives In (he target area. When the radioactive dust Clears sufficiently, the troops will emerge from their trenches and see for themselves the effect of a nuclear explosion on jeeps, trucks, tanks, guns and cannon arranged at varying distance from the tower. Atomic scientists will move in also to retrieve live rats and mice placed in the test area. Special teams will hunt and trap small animals some distance from the blast to determine the biological effects of radioactive fallouts.
