Meeting for the first lime sine its creation Saturday by chief state Bao Dai, Premier Prince Bui Loc and his two Cabinet minister ordered the call-up by May 13. I was not immediately how many of the 13 to 15 millioi Vietnamese in the French-defend ed would be affected by l.h order. It was the first time in the ex hausting seven-year Indochina wa that Viet Nam had called its young men in bulk into the armed forces The mobilization followed a gov ernment decree Saturday incorpor ating into Viet Nam's national army the 32,000 tough fighting men who formerly pale allegiance to the Cao Dai and Hoa Hao religious sects and the Bink Xuyen party. The Cabinet also froze approx imately 100,000 Vietnamese volun leers now on active duty with the young nation's armed forces.

They were ordered to continue servinj until further orders. The Cabinet lifted most of the exemptions from military service "in order to carry out the principl of equal and universal military duty for each citizen." Meanwhile, the French higl command in Hanoi reported it troops at besieged Dien Bien Phi waged a furious, bayonet-charge counterattack on thousands of rob els trying to smash into the fort ress from the east and southeast The immediate objective of the rampaging Vietminh assault ap peared again to be a hill overlooking the French for tress and only five eighths of i mile from its center.

Hidden Opponent Believe Cancer May Be Caused by Virus Which 'Hitchhikes' Until It Gets Chance By ALTON HI.AKKSI.IOK AP Science Itepurter ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. evidence that cancers could be caused by viruses hitchhiking rides through our lives, but attacking inly some of us, was described oday. We coulcj acquire the virus hitch- tikers very early in life, or even icfore we were born. They would 1de harmlessly until something happened.

Something could make he virus suddenly dangerous. Or homething could, change in our wdies so the virus could take the wheel. The change might be aging alterations in hormones or some other event. Support for this theory was des- 'rihfld to the American Assn. for Caaeer Research by Or.

Gross of the Veterans Ajlministra- lion Hospital, New He finds that in mice a "virus" hitchhiker can be the cause of leukemia. the cancer of the blood. He begins with a strain or family line of mice which get leukemia spontaneously. He grinds up the spleen, liver and other organs of such mice, and prepares an extract which contains any tiny particles pr viruses for leukemia in those organs. Then he injects this into baby mice of a different strain, a strain which rarely get i leukemia spontaneously.

Most of these injected mice developed luekemia by the' time they are 10 months old. finds virus can be transmitted by either the mothjer or lattiw wwe of the that the leukemia-susceptible family. Even the embryo or unborn baby of the susceptible strain contains the mysterious agent for leukemia. An extract made even from the embryo can pass it on to baby mice of the resistant strain or family. Now Gross finds that the extract can cause either leukemia or a cancer of the salivary gland in the neck in the injected mice.

When prepared one way. It causes leukemia. Prepared another way, it brings on the neck cancer. The explanation for this may be the presence of two kinds of virus particles, one larger than the other. The bigger one, he suggests, could be the hitchhiker for leukemia, the smaller one the agent for the neck cancer.

It is also possible that one single particle is causing both diseases. Voters of Madison County Tuesday will select, their parly's nominees for county offices next November, and will join with voters of the rest of Illinois in nominating U.
