Dr. Van R. Potter, professor ofl oncology, the study of tumors, at. McArdle Memorial Laboratory for Cancer Research, presented his theory to a joint session of the! Federation of American Societies! for Experimental Biology meeting; here all this week. "Cancer is the result of an in herent tendency of normal cells to make errors when they try to re produce themselves," Dr. Potter told an assembly of 4000. "These errors probably occur about once in a million times." Dr. Potter said a biochemical approach suggests the virus theo ry of cancer does not explain all aspects of cancer formation. It means, too, he continued, that the treatment of cancer with chemical drugs will be difficult because of the many types of the disease. fie said he believes chemical treatments probably will be pre pared—tailor-made was his phrase and successfully used for in ci easing numbers of recognizable cancer strains, Dr. Potter emphasized, how ever, that the tendency of cells to make mistakes "will continue to produce new and bizarre forms of cancer, and under the influence of new forms of therapy, resistant cancer cells will continue to arise."

With Beauties, Beer at Fair BRUSSELS VP) —The United States and Britain rustled up some beauties and beer at the Brussels world fair preview and stole the show from the Soviet Union The Soviets got the propaganda jump by unveiling then• spectacle for the press—a model of Sputnik 11. The United States then came up with some models of its own, shapely and smiling U.S. college girls who will escort visitors through the ultramodern U.S. pa vilion. Then the British won a point with the press. Commissioner General Sir John Balfour hailed the foot-weary newsmen at the British pavilion. "Come," he said, ''there's noth ing like a good glass of beer in a Bt itish pub," The newsmen stormed the place.

As for who will shoot a rocket to the moon first, Von Braun said Russia may well try before the United States. He said it will be many months before this country is ready for an attempt. Von Braun, the nation's top rocket expert who helped launch two of the first U.S. satellites coupled those views with a call for vigorous action "to overcome las quickly as possible the obvious lead which the Russians now en- Ijoy" in missiles. He testified at the first public : hearing of the special House com mittee on space problems and elaborated afterward to reporters. Von Braun said that while his organization has the capability to shoot a man into space now—us ing the Redstone missil e—it would take about a year to perfect the device. He said the' project, developed about three months ago, probably would involve the use of four missiles. The first three, Von 4rauri said, would be for test purposes and would carry animals. He gave no details of the rocket but said the mancarrying capsule would weigh about a ton and the project would Icost about 10 million dollars. The entire flight of a man 150 miles into space, Von Braun said, would last approximately 10 min utes, the missile would travel 5000 feet per second, come to a standstill for about five minutes and reenter the atmosphere at about the same speed it went tip. The man aboard, Von Braun said, could make observations during the pause and he could get down safely enough although he might be unconscious. The man would land in the ocean, the sci entist said.

The pub did a tremendous busi ness. Then the beer ran out. The truck bringing fresh supplies got tied up in that fairgrounds traffic. The truck came in at last, hav ing honked its way through the traffic, and once more the British beer flowed free. Growled a Russian: "Wait until we start serving caviar in our restaurant.

PENNSYLVANIA New Influx Of Rebels Enter Cuba HAVANA (Nty—Army forces to day pursued a yachtload of Cuban rebels from Mexico who landed on Cuba's southwest coast in an attempt to open a new front for insurgent leader Fidel Castro. Military authorities said the band, unofficially estimated at 50 in number, had landed during the weekend at La G)lomba beach in lower Pinar del Rio province and scattered in the hills. The army claimed it had seized the yacht—El Coraje Courage— and quantities of arms and muni tions the invaders hid in a farm house. If the new group keeps out of, army hands, it will be in a posi-' tion to open up a third front in Castro's guerrilla war against President Fulgencia Batista. The eastern province of Oriente, where Castro landed from Mexico'' with 81 men in December 1956, is the focal point of the revolt. A second front is operating in cen tral Cuba's La Villas province. ,The main rebel force in Oriente struck at several points around Guantanamo, site of the U.S. Na vy's base in Cuba. 1 The rebels shot up Caimanera, la sugar mill town north of the base. There were no casualty ye ports on that foray, but the army said four rebels were slain in an attack on Jamica, a town six miles north of Guantanamo, and 26 were killed in the town of Lima near the base. Three rebels were gunned down in an attack on the Ameri can-owned Soledad sugar mill seven miles northeast of Guan tanamo. The insurgents burned ,the mill warehouse, destroying 11000 bags of sugar. Dulles Slashes Soviet Tactics WASHINGTON (iP)—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles charged Russia Tuesday with prostituting diplomacy for propa ganda purposes and thereby en dangering international peace. At a news conference, he called on Moscow to halt its outpouring of public letters and diplomatic notes if it genuinely wants to ease tensions with the West. The United States has always felt, he said, that exchanges be tween heads of government "were designed, generally on a highly confidential basis, sincerely to achieve some practical result." "For the first time that I know of in all history," he added, "that process has been debauched and prostituted into purely an organ of propaganda. There seems to be no desire whatever to use this machinery really to get to an agreement." Marbut Attends Meeting Dr. Frederick B.

John L. McClellan (D.-Ark.). Exploitation of union members and the public by arro gant and crooked union leaders, McClellan told the Senate, has reached a point where it con-1 stitutes a serious threat to free: trade unionism His bill would give the secre tary of labor broad new powers' to investigate and clean up union; affairs. It would punish as felonies bribery and extortion in connec-1 tion with union activities, as well! as falsification of union books and records. Other provisions would strip unions of their federal tax exemp tions if they violated the proposed new code, and deny them any standing before the National La bor Relations Board. McClellan heads a special Sen-1 ate committee appointed last year to investigate improper activities in labor-management relations. He said the legislation he is sponsoring is based on findings of the committee but that be was acting as an individual senator in, introducing it. The measure would require un-; ions to register with the secretary' of labor to retain their tax exemp tion, their right to serve as col- 1 lective bargaining agents and their right to file complaints with' the NLRB in behalf of union members. It would deny the right to reg ister where the union refuses to file with the secretary copies of charters and bylaws meeting min imum requirements spelled out in the bill to assure democratic. procedures in union affairs. Among other things, the bill would forbid loans from union' funds to union officials and those' with whom the union does busi ness. It would also subject labor' relations consultants to the same ' penalties provided for unions and employers in cases of corrupt practices. 0000000000000000000c0000' # NJTTANY NOW - DOORS OPEN 6 P.M "The greatest list of star comedians ever, in 104 1110Dit fp. the best sant* tnts of their long careers!" —AL e. pair ehwo . • " 000000000000000000000000 "KWAI" WINS ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST PICTURES presents A SAM SPIEGEL PRODUCTION MUM HOLDEN ALEC GUINNESS .
