LOUIS U.Pi Thi U -the golden age of cancer research and Ithe outlook for eventual "control lot the disease Is promising, v Dr. 1 Charles . Huggins, University of I Chicago research, leader., declared there tonight. - J , He said that seekers after the 'cause and cure of the dread dis ease took heart from "the many rwonderful discoveries in the field during the past six years, both in 'understanding the nature of the I cancer cell and in its control in ipatients. - " h Dr. Ilucrlns, , professor of sorcery and chairman of the university's committee -on cancer,-is among the leading specialists of 43 nations who will meet here Sept. 2-7 for the fourth international can I cer research congress. Once you know that one type of widespread cancer can be controlled," con-trolled," he said, -it is obvious 'that other types and very lixely 'tall cancers can . be controlled. However, that will be possible lonly through further research " 5 H rlted amontf the discoveries relating to control, the finding of Dr. Alexander Haddow, London, research director at the Royal ICancer hospital there, and asdoci Jates that a 40-year-old anaesthetic l ure thane could be used to re-Jlieve re-Jlieve leukemia, which he descrlb-led descrlb-led as "cancer of the white blood Icells." Another, Dr. Huggins said, was ithe discovery by himself and I others in the field that female sex fhormones are beneficial in certain teases of cancer of the breast and prostate gland. "Many patients (have experienced' prolonged relief ias a result, he reported. I "1VkAA ovk4 nthfti want rivpl. fopments indicate that the outlook ii vrv nromislnff at the oresent jume, he asserted. I Dr. Haddow said the beneficial 'application of urethane, a rt-la-Stively simple, synthetic chemical tsubstance long used for anethesia, fwas discovered in research that began with a study of drugs like-fly like-fly to retard the growth of cells. This tack was followed because fcancer is a condition in which cells multiply at an abnormal 'ate. ' Urethane was known to have a ipoisonous effect on plant cells and to inhibit slightly the growth of 'certain animal tumors, he said. t "We studied and tried it in the laboratory," Dr. Haddow reported, "then decided to try out its action ac-tion on advanced cancer in man. This clinical trial was discourag-ling, discourag-ling, but during its course Dr. lEdith Paterson of Christie hos- 'pital, in Manchester, England, Sriouncr the drug lessenedthe nnm-iber nnm-iber of normal white cells in the jblood." I , They .then, tested the drug on fleukemia, which, he said, "la in effect ef-fect a type of cancer of these icells," and observed immediately that it produced "a certain degree of amelioration in the course of the disease in some of .the cases. - However, he pointed out that the effect is temporary, though it may be repeated, and that in tome patients the disease is unaffected. "In any -event," he declared, "the disease is not cured but merely relieved for a varying length of time and the main value of the discovery is in its scientific scien-tific aspect as a matter for future investigation."

At least, not for, us common folks, r ... . - - ' ; Authority for this shocking bit of intelllaence is a Mr. William IKistler, an expert on posies who Little Symphony Concert Pleases Lovers of Music Listeners to ' Sunday night's network broadcast of Provo's Intermountain Little Symphony heard a pleasant combination of familiar and lesser known symphonic sym-phonic music. A favorite everywhere, and popularized to almost every level in recent years, Debussy's "Clare De Lune," which means, incidentally, incident-ally, "By The Light Of The Moon," was a highlight of Sunday Sun-day night's performance.. The orchestra's or-chestra's string and harp effects in this number were particularly pleasing. On the lesser known side was Glinka's overture to-his opera, "Russian and Ludmilla." Also played were Wieniawski's "Romance," "Ro-mance," from his violin concerto, a piece which is a lot more familiar fa-miliar than the composer's name, and Moussourgsy's violent "Night On A Bare Mountain." The dreamy, flowing ballet music from Schubert's "Rosa-munde" "Rosa-munde" is being becoming increasingly in-creasingly familiar to local listeners lis-teners as the orchestra's theme, played at the beginning and close of each broadcast. An interesting sidelight on the history of this piece is the fact that Schubert wrote it .s incidental music for a play. The play proved to be turkey and was soon forgotten. but the music was revived to take a secure place among, Schubert's list of masterpieces. T H L. There Is No Such Thing As An .

He urged development of nat ural resources to boost the indus try of the west. Promising factors, he said, are increases in working population, increases in industrial capacity and the variety of plants.
