Hershey Not Eligible Both Democrats and Republicans heaved a sigh of relief when the county election board, after due deliberation, decided that Harry Hershey was not eligible to file as a candidate*for mayor of the city. The fact that the county election board, consisting Democrat Richard D. Lewton and Democratic county vice-chairman Mrs. Edith V. Beer, so voted indicates that the Democratic leadership was in no way responsible for Hershey’s filing. The number of stories concerning it are already legion, and the truth will probably remain pretty hazy, with everyone believing the story that he or she prefers. But the decision brings up a very serious question which the humor of the Republican situation has obscured. What about the Republican influence in the ® local Democratic party ? With no one even on the ticket, will the Republicans vote en masse in the Democratic primary, attempting to defeat the strongest Democratic candidate? Only time, and the election result’s will tell. Perhaps a partial list of voters in each precinct in this Democratic party will have to be published to show just how fair the Republicans are. If a person does not plan to support a majority of the Democratic candidates in the Fall, he is breaking the law when he votes in the Democratic primary. Actually, it will only - be necessary to place the names of three candidates for niayor on the ballot, according to the state election handbook. But it is legal to place the other seven candidates’ names on the ticket, and this will probably be done. There can be no Republican primary, since there is not a single candidate. It should be pointed out, in all fairness to the Republicans, that some of the stories in the newspapers were unfair towards them. As county attorney Robert S. Anderson, former city attorney, has graciously pointed out, the Republicans did fill their city ticket in 1955 and in 1951, with only a few vacancies in the other elections. There was also a story going around that one of the Republican candidates recently was not registered when he filed election. However, a close check of the election records shows that this is not so: Richard Girod ran for city council on the Republican ticket, filing for the office on March 24, 1955. The official election record also shows that deputy registration Robert S. Anderson registered him on that same date. Since there were no deputy registration clerks Jun this primary it would have been impossible for Hershey to have registered after the clerk’s office closed that evening. The graciousness of the county clerk in staying open late that evening to permit anyone who desired to register or file to do so has not been given any attention, either. Very few county clerks have so conscientiously tried to serve their constituency. Now that the filing for office is over, the serious business of deciding whether Decatur will sell its mu-nicipally-owned eelctric utility, and, on the part of Democrats only, deciding who the Democratic candidate for mayor will be, may continue. Since Republicans have won three df the past five city elections, they can no longer excuse themselves for voting in the Demo- , cratic primary by saying that it is their only chance of < helping to choose a candidate. While it is legal for a Republican or a Democrat to encourage anyone on his own or even the opposite political ticket to run for of- 1 fice, it is not legal to vote in the primary for a party which you do not intend to support in the Fall.

Chinese Reds Admit Revolt Smoldering

NEW DELHI <UPD—Communist China admitted today the Tibetan revolution is still smoldering and warned foreign nations—chiefly India—against interfering in China’s “internal affairs.” The warning broadcast by Peiping Radio coincided with reports the Dalai Lama was nearing the Indian border and that he might seek asylum in India once India's position is clarified. The Chinese Communists were reported seeking to cut off the Dalai Lama in his flight to the border and unconfirmed reports said the Reds had dropped paratroops south of the Brahmaputra River to try to cut him off. (The London Daily Telegraph in a dispatch from Kalimpong said, the Dalai Lama was believed to have crossed the great river into rebel-held areas the Chinese Reds have not previously managed to penetrate.) A group of 100 Tibetans called on Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru today and handed him appeals asking him to take the Tibetan issue before the United Nations. Nehru previously refused to meet the Tibetan delegations but today they called at his home and asked him to use his influence to guarantee the safety of the Dalai Lama, to protest the destruction of Tibetan monasteries by the Communists and to try to preserve Tibetan autonomy. Nehru told the visiting delegation India had no power to "intervene” in Tibet and in fact would not like to take any steps which “might aggravate the situation there.” But he expressed hope the Tibetans’ present difficulties would end peacefully. Nehru Moncray expressed sympathy for the Tibetans and rejected Chinese Communist warnings that the Indian Parliament should not discuss China’s “internal affairs.” The Communists warned that once the rebellion is suppressed Peiping will abandon its policy of “magnanimity and pa tie tiny waiting for comprehension” on the part of the Tibetans and would introduce sweeping reforms. “The rebellion of the Tibetan traitorous clique has proved the necessity of instituting democratic reforms in Tibet," it said.

Viruses Cause Human Cancer I

EDITOR’S NOTE: Where science stands in its efforts to conquer cancer is beta* laid oat in depth in Excelsior Springs, Mo., by the top cancer scientists. It will be a seven-day briefing, covering the seven major divisions of cancer research. FoL~ lowing is the first dispatch of Delos Smith, UPI science editor, who is one of those being briefed. By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo (UPI)—On the question of whether viruses cause cancer in human beings, the scientific answer is, yes. On the question of whether science will be able to do something about it, the answer is again, yes, but it’s going to take a long time. These answers reflect the convictions and confidence of top virus authorities assembled here by the American Cancer Society to make progress reports on their side of the many-sided campaign of science to lick the disease which is the No. 2 killer of people. Experts on the other sides are here to report their progress, to a group of science writers. One phase will be reported “in depth” daily for seven days, and when all the reports are in, the public will have an up-to-the-minute account of where the big campaign now stands. Obviously viruses do not cause cancers in human beings the way viruses inflict them with the common cold. If they did there would be no human race. Actions Are Complicated Cancer-causing viruses have to act in extremely complicated and well-hidden ways. Otherwise science would know at least as much about the virses as it does about the viruses which cause polio, for instance. Dr. Joseph W. Beard of Duke University, Durham, N.C., and Dr. Seymour Cohen, of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, made these complications and concealments dramatically fascinating in describing the tak-ing-apart of individual cells that were so delicate as to be almost incredible. Beard did it by slicing the cells so thin he got about 300 slices per cell. Hie slices were then subjected to the high magnifications of the electron microscope. Cohen did it by breaking down the chemical reactions of a cell to a virus — and of a virus to a cell—into exceedingly fine detail. Neither worked with human cancer cells since no one has ever made a positive identification of a causative virus for human cancer. Science's conviction that there are such viruses is based upon there being more than 50 viruses which definitely cause cancers in frogs, chickens, rabbits, squirrels or mice. Beard, however, observed particles in tissue cultures of human leukemia cells which he thought could be virus particles but the identification was anything but certain. Other scientists on the same panel minimized the possibility that the particles were of a viral nature. They emphasized that viruses had never yet been found in human body cells. •

Work In'Harmony Why should human body chemistry be exempt from such viral invasion? It wouldn’t be natural if it were. Beard sliced up the body cells of chickens which contained viruses that had caused those cells to become malignant. Cohen got inside the cells of a particular kind of bacteria which were under attack by a particular virus specialized in those cells. 4 Beard found that cells and viruses were working in more or ’ less perfect harmony for one pur1 pose, which was to manufacture * new viruses which would then r take over more normal cells ' which would likewise become vi--5 res breeders. The cell wasn't ! harmed but its basic nature was changed. It r uw serv'd tie vuu.: rather than Inc chick ? it dl« 'c s ed into new cells more r-pidlf " and the 'note rapidly 't’d:v:d. d " (up t« a certain poinJ the m ie f new cancer-caiising viruses were produced. 5 In this connection, the common and well-known viruses, such as 2 polio and influenza viruses, kill ■* the cells which they invade ; Beard showed that this chicken virus by enslaving the cell rather ’ than killing it, caused a “complex “ of diseases,” rather than one relatively simple cancer. Not all 1 were malignant, but those which were included two types of leu--5 kemia, or blood cancer. It demf onstrated there are varieties of * ways viruses can cause cancer (in chickens). Beard said he studied these chicken cells beaus® they happened to be the easiest. i Parasites of Bateria “Don’t think there is no rela--1 tions to mammals.’,’ he said. 1 Cohen’s viruses are not cancer- ’ causing. Their value for an ultimate understanding of viral- - caused cancer is that they are 1 parasites of a bacteria which can ’ be studied in close detail for the ’ chemical secrets of “a viral sys--1 tern.” ’ The most astonishing secret he ' uncovered was that the virus and ■ the bacterial cell get together ■ chemically so as to manufacture seven kinds of proteins which hadn't been present before and a type of nucleic acid which so far ' as science now knows, is utterly unique in nature. This latter is a discovery comparable to the discovery of a new l planet, but since it is chemical ' rather than physical it won’t cause as much excitement. Nucle--1 ic acids and proteins are “build- ' ing blocks” in the chemistry of E life and the combinations possible ’ from seven new proteins and one I unique nucleic acid runs into the J hundreds of thousands.
