Eight Savings/ Loan Groups Under Probe NEW YORK (UPD — An investigation was underway today of eight savings and loan associations charged with insurnig 100 million dollars of their investors’ funds with a one-room Tangiers firm that had only $150,000 in assets. The investigation, touched off by a court action by Atty. Gen. Louis Lefkowitz of the state of New York, involves wealthy financier Stewart B. Hopps, Belvedere, Calif., who formerly was connected with Lowell M. Birrell, accused international swindler. Birrell is the insurance promoter who now is a fugitive in Rio De Janeiro from charges of having been involved in stock fraud charges. To Protect Investors Hopps was named Tuesday in a petition by Lefkowitz asking the right to examine the savings and loan associations, the insurance company and 46 individuals. Supreme Court Justice Jacob Markowitz granted the petition and the examination is to start Jan. 13. Lefkowitz said he was acting to protect investors and had no proof that any loss had occurred. * He charged in his petition that the savings and loan associations had insured 100 million dollars in mortgage loan assets with the International Guaranty and Insurance Co. of Tangiers, Morocco. He said the insurance company’s assets had an actual value in this country of only $151,000 on Jan--31, 1958. This sum, he said, inonly $33,000 in cash, with the rest in second mortgages and building contracts. The petition also said J. Howard McGrath, former U.S. attorney general, was serving as a trustee of funds for International Guaranty. McGrath denied this in a letter to Lefkowitz’ office. Promise High Interest The petition said “the grand design for the Tangier company’s operatic ns was masterfully planned'* by Hopps. It further charged the allegedly fraudulent mortgage insurance had “jeopardized millions of dollars of the savings of New Yorkers.” The companies advertised in New York promising interest rates of up to 5 per cent on insured mortgage security. The savings and loan companies named are — Commercial Savings & Loan Assn., Baltimore, which now is under indictment on charges of mail fraud; City Savings Assn., First Guaranty Savings Assn., and Chicago Guaranty Savings Assn., all of Chicago; Idaho Savings & Loan Assn., Boise; Utah Savings & Loan Assn., Provo.; Prudential Savings & Loan Assn, Burley, Idaho; and Security Savings Inst., Seattle.

New Drug Developed In Cancer Treatment EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPD—Development of a new drug which “may produce remissions of varying duration” in certain types of cancer was announced today by Mead Johnson & Co. The announcement said a chemotherapeutic agent known as Cytoxan has “shown useful qualities in palliative treatment of certain types of cancer.” It said the agent is the result of research to develop an agent with more effectiveness and less toxity than nitrogen mustard, and produces fewer side effects. Cytoxan is a trade name for the drug, the generic name of which is cyclophosphamide, Mead Johnson said. The drug was synthesized in Europe and has been tested extensively in the United States. It will be marketed by Mead Johnson. The firm said experience with more than 500 patients in clinical trials in this country and in earlier trials in Germany indicated that the drug is valuable for treatment of “certain malignant neoplasms” and for certain “solid tumors.” Mead Johnson ,said the drug is "pot a cure for cancer nor is it equally effective in all types of cancer.” “But with proper use in specific indications it may produce remissions ot varying duration,” the announcement said. “In those cases where it is effective, (it) may produce regression of tumor size, relief from pain ana other syptoms, increased appetite and increased functional capacity ” ’Mead Johnson said that the forms of cancer “relatively susceptible” to the new drug include Hodgkin’s Disease, the lymphomas and leukemias, while those “relatively resistant” include carcin-

oma of the lungs, breast, genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract.
