Mayers, chairman, Occupational Cancer Committee, join up w ith .............. , Industry Against Cancer New group, representing industry and medical and govern ment authorities, maps fight on country's No. 2 killer. First step;, a ._ survey that will help determine industrial danger spots. GET "D A YS-SO O N ER" D ELIV ER Y AT LO W COST by routing all your eastbound freight via Science and industry are joining forces to take on a powerful antagonist: occupational cancer. The size of the ob can be gaged by the fact that cancer now rates as the second biggest killer in this country. This week, the growing hazards of oc cupational cancer were the theme of a paper by cancer authority Dr. VV. C. Hueper, of the National Cancer Insti tute. The occasion was a meeting of the American Public Health Assn, in Bos ton. Dr. Hueper's point: The more mod ern industry develops, the more vital is a study of potential industrial danger spots. Starter--fust such a study is the goal of New York State's brand-new Occu pational Cancer Committee, an unoffi cial agency. Members have been work ing on a two-vear program. They have a special fund from National Cancer institute of the U. S. Public Health Service of $32,694 a year to go on. Ohio and New jersey are getting similar grants. Industry has representatives on the committee--Dr. G. H. .Gehrmann, for Manufacturing Chemists Assn.; and Dr. Arthur E. Hoag, for American Petro leum Institute. Other members include -A ~ EltSVJCtc \uccv wi~.. vs 1040 representatives from the U. S. Public Health Service, from New York State Depts. of Labor and Health, as well as from the medical and scientific centers. Chairman of the new group is Dr. May R. Mayers, chief, Medical Unit, Div. of Industrial Hygiene, N. Y. State Dept, of Health. The committee knows very well that its job will be tough. For one thing, no body really knows how big the problem is. As Dr. John R. Heller, Jr., director of the National Cancer Institute, reported last week to the American Cancer So ciety, there are no figures to show how many people are dying today from en vironmental or industrial cancer. No one knows, even, how many people are exposed to it, or where the precise danger lies. Program--But with this nebulous start, the committee has lined up its im mediate plans: (1) A pilot study at the Roswell Park Memorial Hospital, Buffalo. This, the first large-scale survey of its kind, will cover 5,000 male cancer patients; 1,000 male non-cancer patients will serve as a control. (2) The distribution of a leaflet on "Occupational Cancer" to hospitals, " Save time and money the dependable P ' l ' E w a y!" Fastest-by-land between San Fran cisco or Los Angeles and Chicago or St. Louis.. .with comparable speed to all intermediate a n d points beyond P 'l'E . We handle all details w ith the shipper in any and every California p o in t.. . pick up the freight, and, where destination is beyond P 'l 'E , interline with the carrier o f your choice at the P*I*E Mid-West Ter minal most practical to you!

The pilot survey is out to track down what chemicals or other occupational factors may be considered among the possible causes of cancer. Dr. Mayers re ports that industrial chemicals can, m gcneial, be used with perfect safety if adequate contiol measures are instituted. But m order to get the best control nieasuics, you first have to know what chemicals offer the threat. Specially trained personnel will take detailed occupational histones of all cancel patients who enter the Roswell Park Memorial Hospital. The inter viewer will try to pm down just wh.it the patient's occupational exposure was. what chemical substances he came m contact with, what othci environmental factors were present m the workroom Since cancer will usuallv develop only after a great mans years of exposure-- and even many years aftei exposure-- PORTLAND CEMENT now helps the Iron Horse run smoother TRAIN PASSENGERS are enjoying new standards of comfort because of portland cement "grout," a mixture of Portland cement, sand and water, which, when pumped into soft spots and water pockets under tracks, hardens and stabilizes the roadbed. More than 45' major railroads are now pressure grouting with 'portland cement to obtain a smoother riding track and to reduce maintenance and operating costs. This is another example of the thousand ways that portland cement and concrete serve and save. Concrete is the favored material for streets and highways because it is smooth-riding and lasts longer-- at lower cost to taxpayers. Concrete also provides strength, beauty, firesafety and lowan n u al-cost service for school buildings, hospitals, apartments, factories and municipal structures. Concrete is a wise investment for homes and farm buildings because it is firesafe, stormproof, ratproof, decay-proof, termiteproof, easy to heat, inexpensive to maintain. Yes, you can depend on concrete for better service and better living-- and be money ahead in the long run too. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 33 W. Grand Ave., Chicago 10, III. A national organization to improve and extend the uses of portland cement and concrete . . . through scientific research and engineering field work CANCER AUTHORITY: Dr. W . C. Hueper has ideas on how to tackle the prob lem of occupational cancer this means tracing the patient's history all the wav back to his first job. Sleuthing--If a clue--however elusiveturns up at anv point, a chemist will be called in. His job will be to unearth any positive proofs that a chemical suspect m ay h av e been the source of the disease. The data will be entered on punch cards. These will be used as the base for a complete statistical study to be carrie out bv the Division of Cancer Contro of the N. Y.

Western European nations don t think that most of the proposed invest ments would give them as much for their dollars as a straight loan. They might buy the guarantee idea if it were offered in addition to a given country's total allocation of dollars. Reports From Abroad Allied military authorities in Germany have approved several small investments by U. S. publishers to be covered by ECA's guarantee fund. MacFadden Publications International Corp. and Fawcett Publications, Inc.rwere guaran teed conversion of earnings in German currency up to $87,000 for the coming year. This is what the Germans get: 10, 000 assorted comic books a month, plus copies of True Confessions, Start ling Detective, True Police Cases, and Movie Story. Moreover, MacFadden in tends to publish a German edition of True Story. Occupation-Generals Clay and Rob ertson approved.
