CANCER CAUSES DISCUSSED AT

LURICH PARLEY|

Dr. Shear Tells Results of Study of Benzanthracene Derivatives.

(Copyright, 1938. by Sctence Service) ZURICH, Aug. 15.—Cancer and its causes are up for discussion at the meeting of the Sixteenth International Physiological Congress, which opened here today. Two prominent participants in today’s discussion are Americans. Dr. M. J. Shear, of the U. S. Public Health Service and Harvard Medical School, told of his researches on cancer-causing derivatives of the chemical known as benzanthracene. The compounds on which he worked are not known from ordinary, spontaneous cancers, but appear to have significance in forms of the disease produced by contact with igreasy, _ sooty or tarry substances, such as Srous in certain industries. thing in crude ether-ex-i wheat germ oil, possibly a chemical relative of the same can-cer-causing hydrocarbons studied by Dr. Shear, has been found guilty of producing malignant tumors in rats, it was reported by Dr. Leonard Rowntree of the Philadelphia Institute of Medical Research. Dr. Rowntree worked in collaboration with Drs. A. Steinberg and W. R. Brown. Wheat germ oil figures import tantly in present-day therapy because it is a rich source of Vitamin E, the fertility vitamin; but the cancer-producing part of the oil is not the vitamin, Dr. Rowntree stated. This discovery means that scientists must search more deeply . into the possibility of diet’s playing —=a part in causing certain. types of cancer.

NEBRASKA BOY WINS SOAP BOX DERBY

- AKRON, O., Aug. 15 (U. P).— Fourteen-year-old Robert Berger of Nebraska City, Neb.. was the new all-American and International Soap Box Derby champion today, the hero of “Little America” and the envy of 112 small contestants whom he defeated in the fifth annual running of.the event. : Berger nosed out in the all-Amer-ican final Richard Ballard, 9-year-old White Plains, N. Y., boy, whose brother, Robert, won the same event from Berger in 1937. It was a photo-finish, and pictures showed the Nebraskan’s orange-colored, tear drop-shaped soap box-on-wheels a few wheel turns ahead of Ballard’s blue-and-white racer. Officials at first announced Bal-lard-as the winner. :
