16 HE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1947 SECTION 1 19 American Republics Ultraviolet-Light Tests On Blood Ex-GJ. Bond-Cashing Is Heaviest In South Sign New Defense Treaty Reported to Give Quick Cancer Clew Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 2 (AP) Representatives of 19 the 21 American republics, acting to outlaw war in the Western Hemisphere, signed today the mutual defense treaty framed at the Inter American Conference at Quitandinha. The statesmen signed the his- signing table as president of the tory-making pact in the paneled conference and the delegates faced St.

Louis, Sept. 2 (JP) A blood test for early detection of cancer, which has shown strikingly quick and accurate results in animals, was disclosed today by Dr. Louis Herly of the department of cancer research, Columbia University. It is being tested on humans with results yet inconclusive, he said, but there is hope it may be valuable in humans. The chances of curing cancer are greatest if it is caught early.

Dr. Herly is demonstrating the test in exhibits at the Fourth International Cancer Research Congress. He examines blood under ultraviolet light so filtered that only the invisible or "black light" rays of ultraviolet come through' the lamp. Normal blood shines brightly, or fluoresces," and appears turbid or murky under the black light, he said. But blood of animals with cancer does not show any fluorescence or murkiness.

Some substance in the blood which fluoresces apparently is taken out of the blood when cancer begins to grow, Dr. Herly said. Whether this substance goes to the site of the tumor is not yet known. Dr. Herly injected some cancer cells under the skin of animals which are known to get cancer after such injections.

The blood test detected cancer almost within 20 hours after the injections and detected it with definite sureness within 43 hours, he said. Within this short period the cancers never had grown to a size where they could be detected either by sight or touch, Dr. Herly said. Usually they cannot be detected by such means in animals until 120 hours, or five days, after the cancer cells are injected. nin as they sat down to write their names.

In many cities the lines were reported dwindling by noon. Flush with new funds, some veterans were reported opening savings accounts.

Some aaid they wanted to buy new cars. Others planned to travel. In Kansas City a spot check indicated most of the veterans were planning to use the funds to meet the increased cost of living. Others wanted money to help finance new homes. With block-long lines forming, several banks there opened early.

In Jacksonville, long lines waiting at eight banks before the opening hour made some sidewalks almost impnssnble. One banking official commented, "It's really a madhouse." In Pittsburgh a survey showed about 725 district veterans had cashed their bonds in the first hour, with one veteran taking $850. In Columbus, Ohio, three of the largest banks were described as "swamped." At Youngstown, 28 veterans waiting in a line said the money would go for "permanent betterment not any wild reception hall of Itamaraty Palace, Brazil's Foreign Office Secretary of State Marshall was the first United States representative to affix his signature to the document. The other American signers were Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Senator Tom Connally Warren R.

Dominicans Sigrn First. The participating nations in the order of their signing were: Dominican Republic, Guate-. mala, Costa Rica, Peru, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, Venezuela, Chile, Honduras, Cuba, Bolivia, Columbia, Mexico, Haiti, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. The United States was to have signed farther up the list, but its delegation was absent from the chamber when its name twice was called, and final- ly penned the last signatures on the document. The only two American republics which did not sign the treaty were Nicaragua, which did not receive an invitation to the conference because of the Pan-American Union's dissatisfaction with its current regime, and Ecuador, now in the throes of a counterrevolution against its new revolutionary Government.

Delegates Draw Lots. The delegates signed the pact in an order previously determined by drawing lots. They sat in the reception hall, softly lighted by crystal chandeliers, and approached the table two at a time. On the table were gold-- tipped pens and a silver inkstand. The treaty, which has been given the official name of "The Treaty of Rio de Janeiro," was bound in green leather embossed with gold, symbolic of Brazil's national colors.

It was printed on parchment in Portuguese Spanish, English, and French. Brazilian Foreign Minister Raul Fernandes sat at the head of the Reds' Threat To Veto Plan Defied By U. S. Continued from First Page. treaty under conditions which the Russians do not like.

As a coun-termove the Soviets could refuse to recognize any such treaty and use that as an argument for retaining Dairen indefinitely. The American position on raising the level of German industry came as no surprise to Washington diplomats. Only last week London and Washington announced that they intended to build up the German economy to a production stage equivalent to output in the prewar year 1936. Conflict Denied. Replying to the Russian protest, the U.

S. note declared that the American objectives in making the production changes are not in conflict with the 1945 Big Three agreement at Potsdam for eliminating the German war potential, developing peaceful German industries, and helping the German people to maintain themselves. Lovett's note continued: "The Soviet Government Is certainly aware of the importance of German production to the economic rehabilitation of Europe. This is particularly true in respect of coal from the Ruhr area of Germany. "Furthermore the failure of the Soviet Government to implement the Berlin agreement has placed upon the U.

S. a heavy financial burden in the occupation of Germany." Thesis Rejected. He said that the United States could not accept the thesis that it could do nothing to ease this burden or carry out other activities "within the framework of the Berlin agreement" for the economic reconstruction of Europe "until the consent of the Soviet Govenjment has been obtained." On the contrary, Lovett said, until the Russians live up to their obligations under the Berlin agreement "the United States feels justified in pursuing objectives which have been commonly agreed and making arrangements for that purpose with any other occupying power willing to work toward the common end."

He urged reconsideration of the legislation, which would make federal funds available to private reseat ch institutions.

Addressing the opening session of the eighth annual conference of Institutum Divi Thomae, Dr. Fishbein added: "It is almost incomprehensible that anyone should wish to encourage bureaucratic domination of research and thus to inhibit investigations carried on under private initiative in schools, colleges, universities, and private institutions. The vast majority of our progress has come from nongovernmental agencies." Laboratory Work Praised. He praised scientists for developing laboratory cures for disease, but said one of medicine's unsolved problems was the application of those cures to the masses. "Cancer is the No.

1 killer in the United States, but it is the curable and preventable diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis, that are causing the leading causes of death in China, India, and the African and South American countries," Dr. Fishbein said. "We need specific methods of prevention and treatment that can be applied to the masses in these poverty-ridden countries." Woman, 81, Ends World Flight. New York, Sept. 2 (JP) Mrs.

Hand it over." out there, but Federal Reserve officials said the withdrawal of that amount would not disrupt the area's economy from a currency standpoint. In Chicago, banks in the "Loop" district reported small lines generally, with no "rush" for money. Fort Worth was one of the few points reporting an almost unmanageable crush. The first 2 hours after banks opened brought such crowds that bankers asked the veterans to go home and come back another day.

"The British people want no closed shop on the wedding of their Princess," Lord Beaverbrook's Evening i Standard declared tonight in commenting on a report that the Duchess of Windsor will not be invited to Princess Elizabeth's wedding. The report, which could not be confirmed either at Buckingham Palace or from the Duke of Windsor's! attorney, states thit the Duke would be invited, but would not accept unless his wife is invited too.

The Standard, in the column, "The Londoner's Diary," comments, "His attitude is proper and will be shared by many people. For any such discrimination against the Duchess would be outrageous."

Asked 20 Cents At First. The 17 unions of which the nonoperating employees are members first served notice of their new wage demands March 25. At the time they asked a 20-cent hourly Increase. Negotiations with the carriers started June 18 and were broken off June 26. Mediation began July 8 and resulted in the agreement of both sides to accept the ruling of the arbitration board.

The board was headed by Dr William Leis-erson, former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. The arbitration board's award, retroactive to Monday, will be added to two previous raises of 16 cents and 2b cents given the nonoperating workers in the last year. It was approved by a four-to-two vote of the board. The dissenting votes were cast by Henry A. Scandrett, Chicago, former president of the Chicago, fives tf the Latin American na- tions, he.

said: "You have my solemn assurance that we in Washington are. not oblivious to the needs of increased economic collaboration within the family of American nations, and that these problems will be approached by us with the utmost good faith and with increased vigor in the coming period." He closed with an expression of faith in the New World to meet successfully the problems that lie ahead. "The Old World is exhausted, its civilization imperiled," he said. "Its people are suffering. They are confused and filled with fears for the future.

Their hope must lie in this New World of ours. "The sick and the hungry cannot build a peaceful world. They must have the support of the strong and the free. It is for us, the young and the strong, to erect the bulwarks which will protect mankind from the horrors of war forever. "The United States seeks world peace the peace of free men.

I know that you stand with us. United, we can constitute the greatest single force in the world for the good of humanity." The immediate reaction to the speech from the conference delegates was favorable. Pascual Larosa, delegate from Argentina, said the speech "echoed the thoughts of us all in a brilliant, clear fashion." Labor Day Toll Rises to 454 By tbe Associated Press. The Labor Day observance with at least 454 violent deaths, 293 of them in traffic accidents left its grim stamp today as the deadliest holiday for motorists thus far in 1947. The traffic toll compared with 228 highway deaths on Memorial Day and 255 on the Fourth of July and was considerably above the advance prediction of 250 deaths made by the National Safety Council.

Milwaukee, St. Paul Pacific Railroad, and J. Carter Fort, Washington, vice-president of the Association of American Railroads. The wage issue was settled with comparative speed and without invoking all the provisions of the National Railway Act. Had either party refused to accept arbitration, a presidential fact-finding board would have been appointed to make recommendations designed to avert a possible strike.

In arguments before the board, representatives of the nonoperating unions contended their wages were not comparable to those of persons performing similar work in other industries. Witnesses for the railroads disputed this and contended that revenues were not keeping pace with operating costs, including pay rolls. After announcement of the award, leaders of the 350,000 operating employees announced they would meet in Cleveland Monday to consider adding a wage demand to their previous request for changes in 44 working rules. The railroads have contended the working-rule changes alone would boost operating costs by such help as they might receive from others. Truman said that" representatives of 16 nations were meeting now in Paris to chart a program of European economic recovery and to make known their needs.

"Unquestionably it is in the Interest of our country and of the Western Hemisphere in general that we should receive this appeal with sympathy and good will, prepared to do everything we can, within safe limits, that will be helpful and effective," he declared. Test of U. N. Unfair. Truman said "We recognize that the United Nations has been subjected to a strain which it was never designed to bear.

Its role is to maintain peace and not to make the peace. It has been embroiled from its "nfancy in almost continuous conflict. "We must be careful not to prejudge it by this unfair test. We must cherish the seedling in-the hope of a mighty oak. Wc shall not forget our obligations under the Charter, nor shall we permit others to forget theirs." Then he turned directly to the subject of maintaining American military strength, saying: "In carrying out our policy -we are determined to remain strong.

This is in no way a threat. The record of the past speaks for us. No great nation has been more reluctant than ours to use armed force. No Signs of War. "We do not believe that present international differences will have to be resolved by armed conflict.

The world may depend upon it that we shall continue to go far out of our way to avoid anything that would increase the tensions of international life. "But we are determined that there shall be no misunderstanding in these matters. Our aversion to violence must not be misread as a lack of determination on our part to live up to the obligations of the United Nations Charter, or as an invitation to others to take liberties with the foundations of international peace. "Our military strength will be retained as evidence of the seriousness with which we view our obligations." Collaboration Needed. Truman said the economic need in the Americas was for "long-term" collaboration.

At the conclusion the applause was so great he was called back to the speakers' stand where he bowed and smiled in acknowledgement. He prefaced his declaration on foreign policy with congratulations to the delegates for their work in achieving a treaty on hemisphere defense, which he said was a plain warning to any "possible aggressor" and an "example of good iieighboiiiness and international amity." "We find that a number of nations are still subjected to a type of foreign domination which we fought to overcome," he said.

"Many of the remaining peoples of Europe and Asia live under the shadow of armed Nation For World Peace.

As far back as May, 1921, the old Board of Park Commissioners was asked "to move the monument out of the path of autoists" by Thomas B. Crutch-er, chairman of the Board' of Works. The monument was described by "autoists" as a "menace to traffic." Weighs 140,000. The monument, which is said to weigh 140,000 pounds, was completed July 31, 1895.

The cornerstone was laid the previous May 25. It cost $12,000, which was raised over a 13-year period by the Louisville Woman's Monument Association. The statute was modeled from a photograph of Judge Reginald W. Thompson. Mayor Charles D.
