Spurned Amputation Cancer Kills Girl

ROCKFORD, 111. (UPI) — Diane Linds*trom, 18, who spurned a leg amputation to stake her life on the controversial drug krebiozen, died Monday night of bone cancer. Miss Lindstrom lost her yearlong battle against a malignant tumor, of the right thigh at Rockford Memorial Hospital. She had been in the hospital about six weeks. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Lindstrom, were at her bedside. Last March, the pretty high school coed faced a terrifying decision — either 'have her leg amputated or face the risk of dying before she reached her 23rd birthday. Her family physician, Dr. Robert E. Heerins, who first detected the tumor last January, said the cancer was “severe” and urged her to {lave the operation. Two days before the scheduled amputation, Diane called it off. She said she would rather die than have her leg amputated. Her parents then began taking Halloween Party By Monroeville Lions The Monroeville Lions club is sponsoring the annual Halloween party on the streets of Monroeville Thursday evening. There will be SBO awarded in prizes for the best masked person in eight different categories. There will also be a treat for the kiddies.

her to Chicago for treatments. After the first month, Diane said she felt “good.” “I’m up and around,” she said. After 11 weeks she broke off the krebiozen treatments and went to Raymondville, Tex., where she was treated by Dr. Isaac Newton Frost, who claims a cancer cure through vaccine derived from the patient’s own bacteria. Those treatments also were ended. Last week, Diane’s father said she had been in critical condition “a few weeks ago” but “things have improved somewhat.” A spokesman at Rockford Memorial Hospital said Diane died of “bone cancer.” Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, the country’s foremost proponent of krebiozen, said a few weeks after the treatments started that Diane’s tumor had “been arrested.” Heerens at that time said “This is one miracle I find it hard to accept,’’ adding that the use of krebiozen on the girl “borders on an ethics violation.” Heerens then asked Sen. Paul H. Douglas,.. D-111., for help in banning the drug “because they are continuing that treatment amid evidence that it has very little value.” Krebiozen was recently barred from interstate shipment in the United States. Its status in Illinois — the only state where it can now be obtained — is ih question.

U.S. Planning To Bring More Soldiers Home WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Defense Department hopes to bring some U.S. forces home from Europe, but they won’t be the six divisibns now in Germany about which there has been so much uproar. Authoritative sources said today they would come instead from Air Force units presently based in Britain, France and Spain. Officials said the development of longer-range tactical aircraft plus the lessons of “Operation Big Lift,” in which supporting air units as well as troops were whisked to Germany for maneuvers, opened up new concepts for air defense of Europe. U.S. air bases in Europe, and probably in other parts of the world, can be maintained by greatly reduced staffs, officials said. Combat air units can be rushed in when necessary or can be “rotated” between home and abroad on duty tours of several months’ duration. This would make possible, officials said, a reduction in air forces permanently stationed abroad, without loss of defense strength and with substantial saving in overseas spending which contributes to the balance of payments deficit. Rotating air units would not take their dependents with them. In the official jargon of the Pentagon the system is called the “multi-base” concept. Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell L. Gilpatric referred to this concept in a speech Oct. 19 in Chicago before the United Press International Editors and Publishers Conference. He said the system should bring “useful reductions” in overseas military spending. Because of the context in which Gilpatric spoke—the troop airlift to Germany — many, including the Germans, though he was forecasting a cut in U.S. ground forces there. Secretary of State Dean Rusk sought to quiet these German fears, saying in Frankfurt, Germany, Saturday: “We have six divisions in Germany. We intend to maintain these divisions here as long as there is need for them—and under present circumstances there is no doubt they will continue to be needed.”
