Gallup Poll Shows—
SHOWS CANCER PUZZLES MANY
Misconceptions of Disease Apparent in Canvass Of Nation.
By DR. GEORGE GALLUP
“ Director, American Institute of Publie
Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., April 9.—For years the American medical profession and public health authorities| Re have been trying to educate the American people against the old defeatist attitude toward cancer—to persuade them that cancer can be
cured if detected in time, and to rid them of false notions and quackery on the subject. Thousands and thousands of dollars have been spent for the purpose. The President of the United States has in recent years set aside the month of April as “Cancer-Con-trol Month.”
National Poll Conducted -
To what extent have these efforts been successful? What do Americans know about cancer? Do they regard it in the old defeatist light? How many false notions still cling to the subject? With the. assistance of the American Society for the Control of Concer, a nation-wide survey. oh these points has been undertaken by the American Institute of Public Opinion. Despite encouraging gains in public enlightenment. on cancer since a previous ' Institute survey 12 months ago, the current study shows that widespread misconceptions still exist.
(1) “Do you think cancer is curable?” the Institute asked. = Much cancer education has been focused on the fact that cancer is curable if detected in time; nevertheless the survey. found that only 56 persons in every 100 who were interviewed | G have yet realized that fact. The actual replies were:
Believe Cancer Curable if Treated in Time Believe Cancer Incurable..,..27 Don’t Know 1
Public Opinion Changes
There has been a decrease in the number who think. cancer is contagious—that it can be transmitted like a bad cold or influenza.
(2) “Do you think cancer is contagious?” voters in the survey were asked. A year ago 20 per cent—or one person in five—thought that it was. The replies in today’s survey were: 3
Cancer Not Contagious......57% Cancer Contagious ..........15 Don’t Know
(3) “What do you think causes cancer?” On this question the Institute asked for spontaneous answers. In the order of mention, the most frequently named causes of cancer are bruises, injuries, constant irritation of body tissues, rores and tumors. Less than half the people of this country have been educated to recognize the symptoms of cancer, even though health records indicate that one person in every seven who has reached the age of 40 can be expected to die of it:
4. “Do you happen to know any of the symptoms of cancer?”
NO 000000 csssscssnsnssscae 62%
Although fear of the disease has made many sufferers reticent about it, the survey shows that hardly anyone considers cancer “shameful”: (5) “Do you think there is anything shameful in having cancer?”
the Institute asked. The replies to the question were:

PRIMARY ITE BATTLE BEGINS
More Than 150 in County ind Legislative Contests For Nominations.
Battle lines were being drawn today for the pre-Primary campaign by the more than 150 Republican and Democratic county and legislative candidates for contested nominations. A final check of declarations filed before the deadline at midnight Saturday reveals only two candidates unopposed—Prosecutor David M. Lewis, for Democratic renomination, and Ira Haymaker Jr. Democrat, for joint State Representative. In the congressional races, Republican incumbents in four districts are unopposed, while three other G. O. P. congressmen face lively fights in their districts. Only one Democratic incumbent is unopposed. Especially lively races in the next 30 days are seen forthe Republican nominations for prosecutor, treasurer, sheriff, commistioner and legislative posts. There are 32 Democrats and 47 Republicans in the field for State Representative from Marion County. Each party will nominate 11.
Vandivier Claims Backing
Meanwhile, a re-check of Republican candidates on file for precinct committeemen led to expressions of satisfaction by both Carl Vandivier, G. O. P. County chairman, and his opponent for election to the chairmanship, James L. Bradford. Mr. Vandivier sald he expects to receive the votes of nearly all the 147 unopposed candidates for committeemen. This statement was contradicted by Mr. Bradford, who said that 115 of the 147 are committed to reorganization of the County Committee and that “we are reasonably certain that another 150 favoring a re-organization program will be elected.” Control of 171 precincts is required to elect a chairman. In support of his administration of the County Committee, Mr. Vans divier recalled that in the 1938 offyear election in Marion County, ithe Republican party polled 5366 more votes than it did in the 1936 Presidential election. Since 1920, he said, the p irty regularly has polled at least =
less votes in off-year elections than in the preceding Presidential-year elections. - i
Stark Raps New Deal
Judson L. Stark, Republican candidate for the 12th District Congressional nomination, addressed an organization meeting of party workers at 1010 Burdsall Parkway Jas night, “Reports of the rise of Communism in Russia and Naziism in Germany sounded yery much like the efforts of the New Deal Administration in interfering with business big and little, teaching us this and that, and herding us ahout with Federal money in the hands of an ever increasing army of ubiquitous teachers, supervisors, administrators and propagandists,” he said. “No one seems fully to comprehend the details and ramifications of this New Deal taxing, borrowing and spending program; no one seems to have any clear picture of the magnitude and direction of this trend. “And, likewise, no one seems. to see any end to the extension of government control, It expands and multiplies by its own exercise. It taxes, borrows, spends, expands and begins the cycle all over again,” he said.
G. 0. P. Congress Candidate To Talk Here
Maurice: G. Robinson, Anderson, Republican aspirant for the 11th District Congressional nomination, will be the principal speaker at a meeting of the McKinley Club, 2217 E. Michigan -St.,. tomorrow night. Other candidates will be introduced at the meeting.
CORRECTION
An early edition of The Times yesterday listed Albert J. Beveridge Jr. as a Democrat. Mr. Beveridge is a Republican.
URGES CO-OPERATION
T0 BRING RECOVERY
WASHINGTON, April 9 (U. P) Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.), a candidate for the Demacratic Presidential nomination, said today in an interview that the country’s prosperity demands that “the warring factions in economic and political life get together.” Obviously referring to the split between New Deal and conservative Democrats and between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, he said: “1f the factions get together, we can go ahead and have more jobs for the workers, better prices fo the farmers and greater prosperity generally.” Mr. Wheeler said that “it. should be clear to business, labor and farm leaders that there must be co-op-eration between them” in order to solve what he considers the country’s No. 1 problem—unemployment. “The growing bitterness and intolerance of one group toward another and the split between the va=rious labor factions tend to retard recovery,’ he said.

The annual open house alt Ban-ner-Whitehill week features Shop.” Located on the fourth. floor of
the eight-floor store, the Pendleton Shop “brings decorative interiors within the reach of modern income,” according to E. E. Whitehill of Banner-Whitehill. There are more than 30 settings and room groupings in the shop, complete with floor coverings, draperies and wall treatment. In all of their own settings every=thing is complete to the last detail including lamps, pictures, ash trays and other furnishings. “The idea of the Pendleton Shop,” said Mr. Whitehill, “is the result of the realization by Ban-ner-Whitehill of the growing appreciation upon the part of the public within the past few years of the importance of color harmony, and proper relationship of furniture, fabric, floor- covering and draperies. And through cooperation with an outstanding furniture manufacturers this decorative service in the Pendleton Shop is made possible.” Home beautification has been a most important pursuit in every period of civilization. Furnishings and the interior treatment of the home have formed the “back-
