“CANCER DEATH DROP EXPECTED

Scientist Predicts Cuf to 40,000 Annually in Next 50 Years.

By JOE COLLIER

Dr. Clarence Cook Little took a long-range guess today and saw the cancer world this way 50 years from now: 1. Instead of the disease killing 150,000 persons’ annually, it probably will kill no more than 30,000 t0.40,000. 1. Probably no one will die of cancer which affects parts of the body easily accessible for discovery and treatment. 3. There probably will have been great strides made in the treatment of those types which are less readily discovered and less easily treated ; )

Peculiar Health Problem

Dr. Little, who is managing director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer and also director of the Jackson Memorial Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me., is here for the regional meeting of the Women’s Field Army of the society he heads. On the other ‘side of the picture, Dr. Little said ‘that there doesn’t seem to be the.slightest. prospect that cancer ever will be completely prevented. Thus, he said, if betomes a peculiar public health problem in that it must have the intelligent cooperation : of physician and the public—must “closér = co-operation and, on the part of the public, much more intelligent co-operation than usually is: necessary in the Pave health field. Compared to Traffic

* or. Little said the control of canter resembled the control of traffic facilities in several aspects. Both, he said, are a constant threat to life and. in each the dividual must’ form certain behavior patterns for his safety. To avoid traffic deaths, people walk with green lights and drive on ‘the right side of streets. To avoid cancer deaths, people will have ‘to have periodic examinations, and they will have to report immediately any symptom of cancer se that treatment may be begun at once—the earlier the better, he said. People will have to be educated to avoid chronic irritations of parts of the body, such as in the mouth with a badly fitted set of false teeth, Dr. Little said.

BELIEVE PETA BOWS TO LAVAL

Vichy Observers Say Nazi Friend Will Become Interior Minister.

By PAUL GHALI

opyright. 1941, by The Indianapolis Times e Py nd Th : The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

VICHY, Feb. 4—Petain will bow to most ef Laval’s demands. That is the expectation in Vichy today. There seems no other course for Marshal Henri Petain, Chief of State in unoccupied France, who last Dec. 13 forced Pierre Laval, a darling of the Nazis out of office as Vice Pre-| mier and Foreign Minister, only to arouse Adolf Hitler's displeasure and | inaugurate a deadlock that was broken this past week-end. So high is Laval’s star today, that Vichy is no longer negotiating with | Der Fuehrer, but with Laval. Darlan on Way Back

Meanwhile, Admiral Jean Darlan,! Petain’s special envoy, is on his way back to Vichy from Paris, probably | with Adolf Hitler's terms. The Paris negotiations were on the basis of demands which Laval submitted immediately after Hitler's communication to Petain last) Thursday. Laval was asked Friday, to be-| come 2 member of Petain’s Govern-| ___~ ment. Laval, in response, named his own terms. These are: 1. His job must be secure. 2. Vichy must change its skin and completely renew its political setup with politicians entirely acceptable to Germany. Believe Terms Accepted

3. He must become Minister of the Interior, with control over the press, so as to have in his hands the réins of public opinion. 4. Finally, a triumvirate composed of himself, Admiral Darlan, Vichy’s Minister of Navy, and Gen. Charles Huntziger, Minister of War, with full powers to make important decisions, must be created. Faced by these demands, Marshal Petain sent the faithful Darlan to discuss them and to have set down in black and while what Laval’s position in the reconstructed Government would be. No doubt is entertained in‘ Vichy, that most, if not all, of these terms will be accepted.

PARKING OF TRUCKS BRINGS COMPLAINTS

Residents in the vicinity of Edison Ave, and E. Ninth St. complained to the Safety Board today that constant truck parking in front of their homes keeps them awake at nights, but Board members said that the City could do nothing about it. Mrs. Frank Heckman, 71: E. Ninth St., and Mrs. Thomas O'Neil, 919 Edison Ave. representing 30 property owners, told the Board that: The parked trucks have motors running for more than an hour at a time, releasing heavy exhaust fumes; that the trucks are parked all day and all night; that the roaring of motors in the dead of night makes sleep impossible, and that it is impossible for residents to park cars in front of their own homes. Police Chief Michael F. Morrissey said fhe City cannot halt the parking dt night because there is: no ordinance which prohibits all-night parking in the City. The only Shing officials can do, the Chief said, to appeal to the trucking aE to park the vehicles elsewhere. “I don’t know if I'd put up with it if] it happened to me,” Board member Donald Morris said. “Why don’t you try sticking hatpins in their tires?” Residents said they had decided to appeal to the Safety Board first.

KIRBYS WILL BUILD $100,000 MORTUARY

Construction of a new $100,000 Kirby mortuary at 1901 N. Meridian St. will be started tomorrow. The new Colonial structure will be finished July 1, according to Robert E. Kirby, a partner. The old mortuary, which operated at that address since 1923, has ben! torn down and the firm has been operating temporarily at 2238 N. Meridian St. The architect for the new building is Alden Meranda. Construction of the new mortuary will climex 37 years of service by the firm, which was founded Oct. 1, 1913, by Gerrett FP. Kirby and Robert E. Dinn, Mr. Dinn died in 1929 and ‘since that time the partnership has been composed of Garrett F. Kirby and his two sons, Robert E, and James T, Kirby.

Destroyers Given Credit

Part of the British success in saving their merchant ships is due either to the use of 50 United States destroyers, recently transferred to the British, flag, or to British destroyers whose former work elsewhere now is being done by the American vessels.
