French Fear New Flareu p
In Algeria
ALGIERS (AP) — French authorities fear a new flareup of Algerian rebel activity in _a mat- ter of weeks, possibly with the aid of Soviet arms.
Rebel emissaries, according to the French, h ve been announc- ing there will I e a military of- fensive before Ramadan. “thanks to the effective aid of African- Asian nations and the Soviet Un- ion.”
Ramadan, which stars March 22, is a month of religious sig- nificance to the Moslems. There is fasting from dawn to sunset daily. Most Algerian: are Mos- lems.
The military offensive in Al- geria is supposed to be coupled with stepped - up terrorist ac- tions in continental France.
Official French sources aid there are rebel concentrations in Tunisia, Morocco and Libya. The French fear the rebels are plan- ing to strike against new oll-dr1ll- ing sites in the Sahara.
Already, rebel attacks are mounting after a lull last fall.
The French have reported an increased movement of national- ist ernissaries criss -‘crossing the country with instructions for con-
/oentration of rebel groups in areas
where the French troops areless numerous.
The French also reported that the rebels are considering crea- tion of an Algerian revolutionary government, which would get ‘its backing from a number of Asian and African powers. 6
Supports Banks’ Application For Citizenships
TORONTO (CP)—Gordon Cush- ing of Ottawa, vice-president of the A Canadian Labor Congress Thursday night spoke out in sup- port of Hal Bank’s application for Canadian citizenship.
He told ii Toronto and district iabor council meeting: “Hal Banks is just as suitable as others who came here and decided to stay.” v ‘
Mr. Banks was born in the United States and now is «adviser to the Seafarers International Union with headquarters in Mont- real.
In the House of Commons Wed- nesday, H. W. Herridge, CCF member for the British Columbia riding of Koatenay West, called Dr :1 government investigation into the personal finances and ac- tivities of Mr. Banks.
Mr. H e r rid g e said reliable sources told him Mr. Banks owns SIU offices in Saint John, N.B., Toronto, Fort William, Thonold, Ont., and Montreal.
He also told the House that two
“porters on Canadian National
Railways trains were quoted as saying they quit working on CNS
ships because “Banks doesn't like -
niggers." Mr. Cushing said the discrimin-
I ution charge was one of the worst
directed at Mr. Banks since he began his quest for Canadian citi- zenship. He said a Negro is one of Mr. Banks’ most trusted lieu. tenants in Montreal and works as a placing officer in -an SIU hiring hall.
In Montreal, Mr. Banks told a reporter the SIU hiring: halls named in the Her-r‘id-ge "charge are owned by the union. His ap- plication for Canadian citizenship was heard by a citizenship court in Montreal la-st «August. "A deci- sion is expected within a few weeks.
Klansman Gets S_uspended Term
LUMBERTON, N.C. (AP)—An Indian judge Wednesday convic- ted a Ku"K1u Klansman of car- rying a concealed weapon and of public drunkenness at a KKK rally near here last Saturday
might—a rally broken up by shots I
fired by angry Indians.
Judge Lacy Manor gave Klans- man James Garland Martin of Reidsvi1le_ N.C., a lecture before giving him a 60-day suspended sentence upon payment of a $60 fine and court costs.
“You came into a community where there is a ‘happy,’ con- tented people who frown on vio- ,lence." the 55-year-old judge told Martin who, with about 50 others. had been chased off a field by a band of Lumbee Indians.
The Indians, incensed by re- ports that the Klan rally was in- _tended as a warning to them against “race mixing,” had fired rifles and shotguns into the air and earth to break up the meet- ing. There were no serious injur- ies.

Late Diamond Magnate's Sister To Hear Will
ST. SAUVEUR DES MONTS. Que. (CP) —- Mathilda William- son, sister of the multi-millioncaire diamond magnate, plans to leave “shortly” for Tanganyika to learn the terms of her brother’s will.
e declined to say when or how she will leave her small home in this community in the Laurentians, 35 miles north of Montreal, to go to Dar-Es-Sa- laam. - 0 ‘
But she said she is going "as an heir."
“I really couldn't say what the terms of the will are until I get there.”
Her brother, Percy B-oyd Wil- liamson of Kelowna, B.C., and her sister, Mrs.'"Mary Miller of Lon- don, Eng., are already in Tan- ganyika. Their brother, Dr. John Williamson, died Jan. 7.
It was reported from Dar-Es- Salaam Friday that Dr. William- son left 800 shares in his Mwadui diamond mine to his brother Percy and sister-Mary. No men- tion was made of Miss William- son who lives 8 quiet, publicity- shy life in this resort village.
I. C. Chopra, legal adviser to the late mine owner, owns 100 shares of the 1,200 shares issued in the diamond mine. Percy Wil- liamson already owned 300 shares.

Courage, Science And . Care Are Defeating Cancer
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
NEW YORK (AP) —- Victories over cancer are coming from a triumvirate of scientists, physi- cians and courageous human vol- uiiteers.
In Philadelphia, 11 baby girl near death from leukemia wins a few months reprieve with bone- marrow borrowed from her twin sister.
In Chicago, a woman.-riddled with cancer is given a powerful
-chemical. Today, some 10 months
later, she is doing her house- work, has no symptoms of can- cer although she cannot be called cured.
In an Ohio prison, a man has a new, personal -interest in med- ical science. He volunteered to have living cancer cells, planted under.,_ his skin. He wasn’t harmed. But he helped gain
-help bring vaccination against
cancers. CAUSED BY VIRUS?
In his laboratory, a Spanish born American scientist finds more evidence for the theory that viruses are the fundamental cause of human cancers.
These were but a few gains in 1957 from intensive, worldwide research to conquer cancer.
The search proceeds in a hun- dred directions. For cancer—tliis wild, brutal, uncontrolled growth -is nearly as complicated and challenging a mystery as life it- self.
In broad outline, the year's main accomplishments and fu- ture promise lie in three direc- vtions-—drug treatments, immun- ity, and search for causes of cancer.
Chemistry and cancer: -
Some new drugs now briiig temporary or partial recoveries from leukemia (cancer of the blood) and sometimesother can- cerns. ‘-
Last summer, 20 - month - old Laura MacDonald of Drexel Hill, Pa., was sinking fast from acute leukemia despite drugs. Physi- cians gave her a huge dose of radiation to. destroy the diseased bone marrow underlying her leu- kemia.
TRANSPLANT HELPED Then they drew healthy bone
marrow from the skin and hip A
bone ofer twin sister,’ Mary, and injected it into Lau-ra’s blood- stream. A month later she went home, with trace of leukemia.

been temporarily delayed, by sci- entific searching that some day may bear full fruit.
A potent chemical, methy1cho- lanthrene, causes cancers in an- imals. Reasoning from animal experiments and other observa- tions, Drs. Charles Huggins and Jack D. McCarthy of -the Uni- versity of Chicago shot it into six women dying of cancer.
One woman has so far had nearly a year of healthy life. The drug didn’t help another at all, did temporarily arrest the can- cers in theother four. ‘ ’ SOME SHOW PROMISE
In hospitals across the country, trials are under way on handfuls of patients with new drugs spe- cially devised to stroke at can-I cers. A few show early promise.
Immunity:
Vaccines to prevent cancer are _a beckoning goal. Hope for them lies in recent animal and human studies.
Some cancer patients develop antibodies against their ._cancers; ‘others, don’t.
A few vaccines have been de- veloped which protect chickens and laboratory animals against specific kinds of cancer. These are not yet applicable to human -cancers.
PLANT WILD CELLS
_ In a quest for basic facts about immunity, volunteers at the Ohio penitentiary had cancer cells planted beneath the skin of their arms. Their systems soon de- stroyed the cancer cells. Later when the same kind of cancer cells were planted again, they were destroyed even faster. The men could also throw off cells of a different type of cancer, though not -quite so rapidly. Cancer patients, the studies by ‘Sloan-Kettering Institute scient- 1st_showed. lack some defence which healthy humans possess. Some specific immunity mechan- ism seems to come into play.
Blood tests and other tests are trying to spell out the differ- ences. Cancer patients often have less of a disease-fighting blood substance named properdin, this and other studies show. A CLUE PERHAPS
A key to immunity seemingly lies in the very rare cases of spoiitaneous disappearances of cancer. This happens, for no ‘known reason, only about once in
Through nationwide co-operation, proven case histories are being collected, to be analyzed for clues as -to how nature produced this apparent miracle.
.Causes of cancer: ~
Many things are known to cause or be involved in -the start of cancers—-too much X - rays, some kinds of chemicals, re- peated irritation on injury.
Fundamentally the big ques- tion is what happens in living systems to make some cells go haywire in heedless cancerous growth.
Is the culprit perhaps viruses of some ’unknown‘ kinds? BECOME STIRRED UP
Dr. Francisco Duran-Reynals of
Yale, a.pioneer in this thinking, finds some evidence that viruses may lie harmless and sleeping within body cells, until something happens to stir -them to action and malignancy. The -something could be changes in hormone balance, radiation, or other in- fluences. . If viruses do cause cancer, and if they can be identified, then a path is. opened -to devising effec- tive vaccines or other protec- tions.
Meantime the best weapons are the proven ones — radiation and surgery: Techniques in both these
are saving more lives, especially when cancers are detected early.
South Africans Vote April 16
CAPETOWN (Reuters)-South Africans will vote April 16 in the count-ry’s first general election in five years.
The date of the election was announced in Parliament Mon- day.
Contesting the election will be ailing Prime Minister Johannes Strijdom and his National party —pledged to racial segregation—- and the more - moderate United party. ,
Strijdom, 64, and ill with a ml- nor heart complaint, has been urged to stay away from the pres- ent short session of Parliament in order to have strength for a vig- orous campaign.
The date of the election came as no surprise. Mid - April had been repeatedly mentioned as the most likely date for polling.
The National party, in office for 10 years, already has estab- lished a record for duration un- matched by any other party in South African history.
The National party will go into the election holding 96 of 156 seats in the House of Assembly.
Nationalist strength in the as. sembly is two stronger than it was after the last general elec- tion in 1953. The extra two votes

ment reached a new post-war high in early January.
Figures given the Commons Monday by Labor Minister Michael Starr showed 796,371 per- sons looking for work with Na- tional Employment Service at Jan. 9, the largest number since the service was set up in 1940.
While the total does not indi- cate a b s o l u t e unemployment, other government figures esti-
.of unemployed at 386,000, a jump of almost one-third in a month.
President Claude Jodoin of the
1.000.000-member Canadian Labor Congress _promptly_ announced the congerss is launching an immedi- ate survey of employment pros- pects for the next two months through ufiuon affiliates across the country. . _ “On the basis of these find- ings. he. said. “we plan making formal representations to the gov- ernment for further action to re- lieye unemployment.
It IS obvious that steps taken so far have failed to prevent seri- ous suffering.”
SITUATION “SERIOUS”
“We are faced with a situation the seriousness of which can hardly be exaggerated,” Jodoin said.
His statement came after a day of labor figures by the bureau of statistics and the labor depart- ment and by the minister of the Commons.
First. _ the bureau estimated those without Jobs and seeking .work at Dec. 14 as 386,000, com- pared with 292,000 a month ear.

LONDON (Reuters) — Elec. trical workers and dock em. ployees took steps friday to add their claims to snow balling wage demands in British industry——a sharp challenge to ‘he govern- ment s -tough line aganst hoisting pay and prices. .

They agreed to recommend that other unions in the joint council for the port -transport industry submit a new wage claim.
U n i o n s representing 120,000 electrical workers also decided to enter their bid for fatter pay en- velopes. ,
_ The government’s fight to halt inflation and bolster the world status of sterling hangs in the balance as more than 6,000,000 workers line up with demands for
more mmley and a shorter work week.
