Urges Long-Tenn Cancer Research

IDNDON. May 8 — (C?) — By .the year 7080 doctors may have learned at least one secret of cancer of the breast, says Dr. H. CI. BnAtkIns, director of surgery at Guy's Hospital.

In s letter to the British Medle- sl Journal, he ssld he was eager to open "a very long term investi- gation into this matter in the human subiect."

It was already known that for cancer of the breast to develop In mice "it is necessary that suck- ling should have taken place from} s mother or foster-mother capable, of transmitting s virus-like mater-i. sl known its the milk factor. if mice sre not so suckled cancer of the breast does not develop."

Believes Big Trouble looms In Shanghai

Big trouble looms in Shanghai.

There probably is no nastier sit- ustlon in the world today.

haters-rally the great Whsngpoo metropolis is nearing an explosion point. lbtternally it is s puma ln sum s complex tangle of rivalry thst a third world war could well begin there. . '

That city of more than 5.000.- 000 population is cut off by Com- munist armies. but it has more immediate miseries. Shanghai cannot feed itself. It cannot even print paper money fast enough to pay its workers. Ilhey can be cis- pcctcd to get violent when they set hungry enough.

The month-end pay day meant such s financial crisis to Shang- hai that the war was sll but for- gotten. .

There is a stlil darker side to the picture. Recent actions by both Nationalists and Communists sug- gest that foreigners and forellll interests there have become pawns for both sides in the civil war.

By "defending" Shanghai with such military devices as a 35-mile wooden fence, the Nationalists lend greafstrengih to the prevail- ing suspicion that their, whole strategy ls.to hold out long en- ough to get foreign powers involv- ed with the Communists.

This same strategy did ,not work in 196a and loo? when the Japan- ese attacked Shanghai, but it stands a better chance of work- ing now because the Communists are playing right up to it.

They are out to make the for- eigner lose face, partly because it's popular and partly because for- eigners have helped their enemy. Their propaganda’ is directed to masses of Shanghai Chinese who live in such poverty that they need little urging to go into ac- tion against anyone richer than themselves — Chinese or foreign.

According to Shanghai evacuees

i

reaching Tokyo. the foreigner al- >

ready has lost much face in Shanghai since the Reds shelled British ‘warships in the Yangtze River, and since the withdrawal of both British and United States fleet units from Shanghai.

Withdrawal was only a com- mon-sense step to avoid getting involved. and the ships are stlil nearby in the Yangtze estu- ary. But the fact mnains that foreign warships have backed down before Chinese. To the Chi- nese. Shanghai is the one Rfelt symbol of foreign wealth and 1n- fluence. The enltptlxless of “battle- ship row" in the Whangpoo can mean to Chinese. under the cir- cumstances, only that the foreign guns are gone and the Commun- ists are responsible.

The Nationalist garrison in Shanghai, meanwhile, is enforcing martial law with "shocking sever- ity," according to refugees. In an atmosphere of terror, violent things can happen. No one in Shanghai placos nny faith lwhat- ve; in the gdrrlson‘! frequent promisesito "fight to the end."

The floods followed one of the: severest droughts in the history; of the outback. No appreciable‘ rain had fallen in some districts for more than six years while most of the land had been with-i out rain for three years.

"IL-l Psrcbed And Cracked

Before rain began to fall on Christmas Eve last year the out- back looked brown and stark. Huge cracks foamed in the open plains and the slightest breeze stirred up clouds of dust.

Bones of the cattle, sheep, and horses appeared as though they would break through the hide as the animals pawed the grassless earth for roots and seeds.

Small holders were ruined. and many abandoned their homesteads to the creeping dust of erosion.

But with the rain life came back to the‘ west. Birds returned
