Astonishing Fads On People, Cancer EXCELSIOR SPRINGS. Mo. (UPD—Here are two new and astonishing facts about people and cancer: —After long lapses cancer came back in six persons while they were under ' severe emotional strain. —The blood of a woman whose cancer had been arrested for a long time killed re-awakening cancer cells more efficiently than the best cancerl cell-killing drug. Oscar Creech Jr., of Tulane University. New Orleans, who disclosed these facts, had no explanation for the first beyond its obi vious suggestion that *Yhe emotional mind, which is known to influence many body functions, can also influence the body's relations with its own cancerous parasite.

Prince Rainier. * t more confirmation of what practically all cancer doctors have to • come to believe. The body has • natural chemical defenses against ' cancer just as it has against bac- ’ terial and virus diseases. Bacteria and viruses rouse those defense and further invaions by those s particular bacteria* or'viruses are stopped cold. . Creech and other cancer surgeons. in briefing science writers on the newest in cancer research at a seminar sponsored by the American Cancer Society, agreed the defenses exist and a thorough understanding of them could make them usable and go far in conquering cancer. Vaccines Far Off That would lead to vaccines to prevent cancer. Cancer experts are convinced that cancer Ls not one disease but many, since cancer cells are so diverse and behave .so differently, and there would have to be many vacines. one for each cancer disease. However, vaccines are far in the future. No one knows enough to make even one now. Creech's famous New Orleans surgical colleague. Dr. Alton Ochsner, reitereated to the science writers his now well-known belief that cigaret-smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer and the tremendous increase in cigaret smoking by men since World War I, explains the great increase' in lung cancer in men over that pe- • riod.

Predicts Vaccine ; For Common Cold i CHICAGO <UPI> — A research- •] er has predicted a vaccine which s will prevent most common colds 1 will be available within the next two years. s But he added he does not ex- t pect the age-old malady to be £ wiped out, because “people ere 1 1 people.” “I realize I stuck my neck out,” 1 said Dr. Thomas G. Ward, proses- ' sor of virology at Notre Dame Uni- ‘ versify. His report appeared in the ' current issue of Today’s Health, , an American Medical Assn, publi- j cation. - No drug now on the market can ( be considered effective against colds. Ward said. But he believes 1 a vaccine can be developed against j 60 to 70 per cent of all colds caus- < ed by bacteria or a virus. i About 20 per cent of common colds are really dus to allergies or wishful thinking, he said. Ward said he believed the vaccine would not be entirely effective because "people are not goi ing to take the vaccine, just as : they are not taking the polio vac- ; cine.”

(UPI) — Four U.S. Navy frogmen set a new world’s underwater endurance record today at 5:07 a.m. and planned to stay submerged for another seven • hours. The frogmen, who entered the covered pool at the Little Creek Navy Base here at 12:06 p.m, Wednesday, passed the 41-hour record set by civilian John Gary of New Orleans last August The men will get out of the pool at 12:06 p.m. today, concluding a total of 48 hours spent underwater. Lt. Arthur Rehme of Corning, N.Y., a Navy medical officer running physiological tests on the pioneering sailors, said the men were in good condition. Five frogmen originally bean the Navy experiment. A fifth man surfaced early Thursday after “only” 17 hours of submersion when an air valve in his qualing became clogged. The men, all volunteers, were selected tq go underwater to test the effects on humans staying submerged for long periods of time. Navy doctors said the men slept intermittently Thursday night and the night before. The physicians awakened the men at intervals to ask them how they felt. Their meal Thursday night consisted of their regular diet of boullon and high-protein liquid. They were given a squeeze bottle of malted milk for a nightcap. During the period in the pool, they whiled away the time playing checkers with lead slugs as checkers and listened to piped-in music through their earphones.

Catholic Faith Is Largest In Nation By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International At the start of this century, the United States was a “missionary territory” of the Roman Catholic Church. ; Today it has more practicing Catholics than any country of the world except Italy. The latest official Catholic direetory reports a total U. S. membership of 36,023,977. This figure, based on diocesan records, is probably low. The Census Bureau estimates that more than 43 million Americans regard themselves as Catholics. EVen at the lower figure, the Catholic Church is by far the largest religious body in the nation, with four times as many members as the largest single Protestant denomination. Relations Have Improved Despite continuing tensions over some issues <such as government aid for parochial schools), Catho-lic-Protestant relations in America have improved notably in the past 30 years. One measure of the improvement is the often - expressed belief that it is now possible for a Catholic to' be elected president. Objective observers believe that peaceful co-existence is the closest relationship that Catholics and Protestants are likely to attain in the foreseeable future. Although both sides are committed to the goal of Christian unity, they have made no detectable progress toward resolving the deep doctrinal differences that stand in the way. Catholics believe their church is the “one true church," founded by Jesus Christ, and invested by him with infallible authority to teach and define the Christian, faith. They believe that Christ committed to St. Peter the care of the whole church, and that' this role has descended to each of Peter’s successors as bishop of Rome. (The title “pope.” applied to the bishop of Rome, comes from the Italian word for father.) Catholics Accept “Tradition” Catholics, like grotestants, regard the Bible, as divinely inspired. But, unlike Protestants, they accept “tradition" as an equally valid source of revealed truth. They say that some important aspects of the Christian revelation were never set down in writing in the Scriptures, but were handed down through the ages, from the time of the first Apostles, by word of mouth. On the basis of tradition, the Catholic Church teaches some doctrines for which Protestants are unable to find any warrant in the Bible. An example is the dogma, proclaimed by Pope Pius XII in 1950, that the Virgin Mary was taken up bodily into heaven (the theological term is “assumed”) at the end of her earthly life. Catholic worship centers around the Mass. Non-Catholics who have heard a Mass sung or recited, largely in Latin, sometimes have difficulty comprehending the tremendous significance this ancient service holds for Catholics. Renewal Os Sacrifice To Catholics, the Mass is not merely a re-enactment, but a “renewal” of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Those who participate in the service share in the "merits" which he earned for mankind by his self-giving on Calvary. Catholics also believe that the bread and wine consecrated on the altar become, not symbolically, but “really and truly” the body and blood of Christ. Those who partake of the sacrament in Holy Communion recieve Christ Himself as the food of the soul. Catholics are required on pain of mortal sin to attend Mass every Sunday and on certain other holy days. While they are urged to take communion frequently, the only fixed requirement is that it be received at least once a year, during the Easter period. A Catholic must confess his sins orally to a priest. A catholic's minimum duty also includes going without meat on most Fridays and on certain other fast days as a form of penance. Four Persons Die In Headon Crash ELIZABETHTOWN, Tenn. (UPI) —Four persons were killed Thursday night in a head-on collision near the North Carolina border.
