Controversy Centers On Substance For Cancer

By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor | (Copyright 1857 by United Press). NEW YORK <UPr-The AMA’s anti-Krebiozen report would have. ' shaken a man of less faith than I Andrew Conway Ivy has—in God,, in himself, in the results of his; own scientific investigations. Hei regards himself as "a dedicated; personality.*’ He told this reporter: “I live for one reason—to help people.” 5 'IV ■ That has nothing to do with ,whether he is right or wrong about Krebiozen, but it is a measure of the man. There he was', a top man of medicine and science, with his world threatening to collapse. . His friends told him to accept the report and recant. Otherwise he would be destroyed. He putted back not one iota. * And this despite the fact that Dr. Durovic had dissolved .the only existing supply of the white powder in mineral oil and had divided the oil into 200,000 ampules. That meant it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain the kind of minute chemical analysis which would reveal what Krebiozen was, chemically, and which exact science requires—as a matter of course. Ivy said this was the only time he was tempted to “pull out” Durovic said he had done it “thoughtlessly,” with the idea of. preserving the powder's potency. |

storm At University I The Chicago Medical Society, a constituent part of the AMA, was moving to punish him for alleged.ly violating a cardinal medical I ethic — promoting a “secret 'remedy ” A storm was rising at the University of Illinois whose I president. Dr. George D. StodIdard, was displaying a lively interest in Ivy's activities. Stoddard appointed a committee of medical professors versed in cancer,-to evaluate all Krebiozentreated cancer cases which now numbered several hundred. It reported Krebiozen had “no curative value,” which Ivy had never claimed, but “we cannot state that it is entirely devoid of biological activity.” It said the prime question was “the nature of the material” and until that question was answered, no further attention should be given to it. Stoddard appointed another committee to undertake as thorough a chemical analysis as was possible of a substance dissolved in one of its own solvents, which meant it was utterly dissolved. As' they have consistently, the Durovics insisted upon iron-bound protection of their commercial rights (which this reporter does not imply is wrong—there is pirating in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry.) The Durovics judged the protection offered as j insufficient and they did not sup-

ply ampules for analysis. c Ivy Makes Appeal Stoddard’s reaction was to re- r strict further Krebiozen research 1 on university premises- Ivy ap- c pealed to the Illinois Legislature, 1 on the grounds that Stoddard 1 struck at academic freedom. A £ legislative commission began an s investigation of what by now was “the Krebiozen affair” in March, e 1953. I The Ivy-Durovic side put into s the commission record this ® charge: Dr. J. J. Moore, treasur- * er of the American Medical Assn., c conspired with the two business s men either to get commercial con- c trol of Krebiozen or suppress it « by ruining the Durovics. Moore, it 1 was charged, had influenced Wer- ' mer into distorting and even “faking” parts of the AMA’s 100-case j report. Stoddard, it was added, < was drawn into the '‘conspiracy.” ’ As set forth in the record, this charge struck the reporter as exceedingly flimsy. But only the 1 commission was qualified to judge i and the 12 of the 14 members who * attended the final meeting, unani- < mously cleared Drs. Moore and < Wermer of the conspiracy charge, t as well as the businessmen and t Stoddard. t The commission had high praise < for the integrity and selfless devo'tion to mankind of Ivy who, mean- ( time, had lout his post as univer- i sity vice president Stoddard had t had it abolished. As to the Duro- t vics, the commission found that In j the absence of any evidence to the t contrary, it could not conclude j they were “other than men of good 5 character. " Only Stoddard was , criticized —for having been “un- . tactful.” A few months later the 1 university trustees forced him to 1 resign. Hole In Report But all this is what Ivy calls 1 “a side-show.” On the scientific 1 side. Ivy opened a hole in the 100- 1 case report by showing that 24 of I the 100 cases came from a young £ physician who said he was a “can- t cer expert” but had been in prac- < tice less than three years, and besides 23 of the 24 had been the 1 cases of another physician who did not agree with his appraisal. If thftse 24 are thrown out, 76 remain. They came from si x physicians who are or were (one i has since died) unquestionably j cancer experts whose integrity is no more challengeable than Ivy's j is. This reporter knows that these j physicians have not changed their .

original views in the least You can’t blame medical doctors for not wanting to be quoted in a nasty controversy over a life-or-death matter, but Dr. Alton Ochsner of New Orleans, whose forthrightness matches his standing as a cancer expert, permitted himself to be quoted. He and his associates treated 21 advanced carcinoma patients with Krebiozen. “In not a single, instance cpuH we note any effect, either subjectively or objectively,*’ he said- “Because of this and because of the experience of other similar investigations, I became convinced that Krebiozen has no effect on cancer. I feel quite sure Krebiozen is absolutely without value and should not be used.” Arrested On Charge Os Assault, Battery Robert W. Johnson, 36, of 1010 Krick street, is a prisoner at the Adams county jail, he was taken early today after being arrested by city police, on a charge of assault and battery. An affidavit was signed by his wife, Georgia, and the man was arrested at 4:30 a.m. on a warrant signed by Mayor Robert Cole. Johnson reportedly struck his wife repeatedly with a piece of pipe, during an argument early this morning. Mrs. Johnson was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital, when it was at first believed that an arm was broken. However, no broken bones were revealed, and she was dismissed from the hospital later this motning. Her husband appeared in city court at ,10 a.m., and entered a plea of guilty to the charge. His bond was set at SSOO and he was returned to the county jail, while authorities have taken the matter under advisement until the complaining witness, Mrs. Johnson, is able to appear in court. Date of the hearing is set at 9 a.m. Monday. Witnesses Attend District Assembly A contingent of 25 Jehovah's Witnesses from the local congregation is completing arrangements to attend a district assembly sponsored by the Watchtower Society, July 17-21, at Milwaukee, Wis., it Was announced today. The event, one of ten similar gatherings this summer in the United States and Canada, will attract some 35,000 delegates, according to Clyde Steele, local spokesman for the group. The mid-July gathering will be held in Milwaukee’s County Stadium, the Home of the Milwaukee Braves. But for five days a flowerdecked platform will dominate the infield and the singing of 35,000 voices will replace the cheers of big-league baseball fans. Delegates will attend from at least 36 stales as well as Canada. Christian conventions such as this are always a high point" in the lives of the Witnesses. Not only is there an opportunity to renew acquaintances, but also, more important, instruction is given on Christian living and up to date information on Bible prophecies and modern day fulfillmentkeeping the ministry of Jehovah’s Witnesses practical and timely.

No heavy rain was expected. Precipitation will average twotenths to six-tenths of an inch as scattered showers and thuixierstorfns Saturday or Sunday and again around Tuesday or Wednesday. Temperatures hit highs ranging from ST at Indianapolis to 90 at South Bend Thursday and dropped into the comfortable 60s during the night, including a chilly 61 at Evansville and 66 at South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Lows tonight will range from the high 60s in the north to near 70 in the south. „ It will start turning cooler in the extreme north late Saturday after scattered thundershowers late tonight and Saturday.
