HOLLYWOOD (UPD— Here’s a new wrinkle for a television series—a pianist who doubles as private-eye. ~>mLJBL “"Staccato,” which makes its NBC debut Sept. 10, deals with a hero who divides his time between Beethoven and burglars. After

knocking over a sonata, he knocks out uncounted heavies. It may play hob with his musician's hands, but a guy's got to make a buck, doesn’t he? Starring in the new entry is John Cassavetes, a New York actor who made it big a few

“I not only can’t play the piano,” he grinned, "I'm tbne deaf. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

General Statements On Cancer Misleading

(Editor’s note: From the Adams county chapter of the American Cancer society. The third in a series of articles explaining the new policy and the cancer society’s program.) Two general statements made about cancer are that it is a disease of civilization and that there is no known cause of the disease. Examine the statistics scientists give and their explanation of these statistics before believing those statements. The first one appears to be false. And the second one is partially false. Convincing the public to examine such statements and to find out more about cancer and to not react as an ostrich—by hiding its head under the sand without finding out something about a danger—is part of the American cancer society’s program of education. Reading articles about cancer is not the only way, for newspaper articles are short and contain only outlines of what the public should know about cancer. Books about cancer can be the answer in many cases. Dr. Charles S. Cameron, medical and scientific director of the American cancer society, has written one helpful one, which the statements in this article partially ou 11 i n e—“ The Truth About Cancer.” Donnybrook Looms In Oregon Primary By RAYMOND LAHR United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — The Oregon presidential primary next May is shaping up as one of the wildest political rumbles since 1948 when Nebraska put almost every Republican in sight into a presidential popularity poll. The new Oregon primary law gives. the Oregon secretary of state “sole discretion” to put presidential candidates on the ballot. He alone decides what candidates are “generally advocated” or are “recognized in national news media throughout the United States.” Anyone so named can withdraw only by filing a sworn statement saying “without qualification that Ihe is not now and does not intend to become a candidate." A carryover provision of an old law also allows a candidate to be placed on the ballot by petition of a thousand voters. This provision allows for no escape. A Donnybrook Looms At this distance, the new provision would insure a contest between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York on the Republican side. If Rockefeller decides to make a bid, earlier Nix-on-Rockefeller collisions in other stat primaries can be expected. In contrast with this prospective two-man contest, it is easy to visualize a donnybrook in the Democratic primary. Candidates generally advocated or recognized in news media would include Adlai E. Stevenson and the Senate foursome of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Hubert H. Humphrey and Stuart Symington. By next winter Gov. Edmund G. Brown of California and others could be among them. Stevenson has |said he would file the withdrawal affidavit even though many Democrats who both like and dislike Stevenson view him as a likely prospect to emerge as the party’s candidate for the third time should the 1960 convention become deadlocked. Stassen Beat Dewey Johnson and Symington, who have expressed no interest in becoming avowed candidates during the primary season, could be hurt by the new Oregon primary machinery. If they left their names on the ballot, the would be late starters risking a poor showing whether or not they campaigned in the state. On the other hand, at this stage, both Kennedy and Humphrey expect to be entered in Oregon. In that 1948 Nebraska GOP primary, seven candidates were entered. Some protested, but the law did not permit their withdrawal. Fresh from a victory in Wisconsin, Harold E. Stassen won the Nebraska poll over Thomas E. Dewey with the rest of the field far behind. This seemed to start a Stassen bandw'agon rolling but Dewey threw it into reverse by beating him in the Oregon primary a month later and going on to win the presidential nomination. And the Nebraska Legislature amended its primary law to require the consent of a candidate before he could be entered. Target Practice BALTIMORE (UPD—Hugh Jennings of the Baltimore Orioles was hit by pitched balls 49 times during the 1896 season. Never Underestimate .. CHICAGO (UPD—Women today own 52 per cent of all stocks in publicly-held companies, control 70 per cent of all estates and half of all savings accounts and government bonds, according to the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co.

Records More Complete Dr. Cameron lists three reasons why records of cancer death rates and cases of cancer very a great deal throughout the world and appear to point out that cancer is a disease predominanly in the more civilized countries—for instance, the death rate from cancer in Ceylon and Egypt are 14 and 20 per 100,000 population. The rates in Switzerland and Sweden are 162 and 138. Records are kept more accurately and thoroughly. Dr. Cameron points out, in some countries, for only a few countries actually record the number of cases of cancer. Deaths of cancer are more likely to be recorded, and the death rate is a fairly accurate mirror of how many cases there are in a certain area. Even if only the deaths are recorded. he points out, these records are not always accurate, for cancer is a very difficult disease to diagnose; it is a wide group of diseases under one name, as article two of this series pointed out. Third, Dr. Cameron says, the longer the life expectancy of a nation, the higher the cancer rate, for cancer is a disease mainly in people who are past middle life. In countries having low cancer death rates (Chili is an example, with 88 per 100,000 the life span is lower (Chili’s average life expectancy is 39). The high cancer death rate in Switzerland, 162 per 100,000 is related to the higher life expectancy there—6B years of age. Suscptibility to cancer. Dr. Cameron concluded, is probably about! equal in all parts of the world. Some Causes Known Causes of cancer are not the mystery they once were. Dr. Cameron points out when he explains the beliefs that cancer is hereditary and that it can come from defects in the development of the human embryo, and others. He describes something called a precancerous condition, an abnormal state of a tissue that is recognizable and that may become malignant. Other “causes” can be overexposure to sunlight and viruses. Viruses, particularly, seem to be a promising lead which researchers are following, trying to find the essential cause of cancer. However, Dr. Cameron points out, these "causes” are the conditions in which cancer may appear, not the basic reason why a cell goes wild and starts cancer. Like tobacco, in the case of many lung cancers, these factors may not be the actual criminals, but they are found at Jhe scene of the crime.
