No 1 Cure
For Cancer
Prof Says
PHILADELPHIA (/P) No sin
gle cure for cancer is possible, for
there is no single cause of the
disease, a University of Wisconsinl
scientist asserted Tuesday night.
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."

I ready have the capability of
I space. Von Braun said he is
convinced if this country doesn't
get a man into space soon the
Russians will do it first.
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.

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."

Union Policing Bill
Introduced in Senate
WASHINGTON (IP)—A bill to police labor unions and
punish wrongdoing by their leaders was introduced in the
Senate Tuesday by Sen. 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.

AEC Discloses
7 Past Tests
WASHINGTON (4) The Atom
ic Energy Commission disclosed
Tuesday it set off seven more nu
clear blasts in the last four years
than had been announced.
Three of the newly announced
shots occurred in the Eniwetok
area in the spring of 1954 and
four in the same Pacific test site
in 1956.
The commission declined to say
whether the explosions were of
hydrogen or atomic devices, but
it is known there were H-blasts
in both years.
