3 ALBANY DEMOCRAT-HERALD MONDAY, MARCH 8, 1954 Public Education In Control of Disease Held Need WASHINGTON (U.P) Fuller use of the nation's present medical knowledge could virtually eliminate tuberculosis as I a major health problem and cure twice as many cancer cases as are cured now, But, the House Commerce Committee reported yesterday, public education and medical economics have failed to keep step with scientific advances. As a consequence "more is now known about the prevention of many diseases than is being applied." "Research in many fields has provided a stockpile of detection, diagnosis and treatment methods that are not fully utilized," the committee said. Half Possible "As one example," it added, "almost half of all cancer can be cured if it is detected and treated in the early stages; yet of this half, only half is being cured. another example, the fully effective application of known control measures could virtually eliminate tuberculosis as a major health problem, even though improved methods of treatment are needed," the report said. Reasons Cited The committee based its observations on testimony taken from 95 distinguished physicians, scientists and laymen October.

It attributed failure to apply new developments to these factors: 1. "Too few people know the early symptoms of chronic disease. This is a problem of public education." 2. "Too few of those who do are inclined to do anything about it. This is a problem of motivation." 3.

"Too few of those who are motivated have good diagnostic help available to them at a price they can afford. This is a problem of medical economics." Vandals Damage Archery Course Chemawa Bowman President Bob Govro today made an appeal to parents residing in the Scenic Drive-Thornton lake area to assist in stamping out vandalism in the archer's field course. The course, located just off the Scenic Drive junction on the Thornton lake road, has been the scene of a great deal of destruction by children who are believed to reside in the area, Govro said. He said bales of hay on which target faces are placed had been removed from their resting places and small hut in which the targets are stored had been broken into a number of times. Windows in the hut also were broken, he reported, Chemawa Bowmen leased the property some time ago, and plans are being made to put up "no trespassing" signs around the course by the end of the week, Govro noted.

The bowmen's president said the field course is the result of many hundreds of hours of labor on the part of members. Archers were unanimous in the opinion that children should be allowed to play in the area, but that unwarranted destruction of the facilities may force the bowmen to vigorously enforce the "no trespassing" order, Govro declared. Unless the vandalism is brought to a halt, the matter will be taken up with the Benton county sheriff's office, he added. Man Fined on Drunk Charge in Lebanon LEBANON Adolph Thorpe pleaded guilty to a drunkenness charge this morning and Judge Ruby Moore levied a fine of $20, with $10 suspended. Unable to pay the fine, Thorpe was committed to the city jail.

He was arrested Saturday for operating a car without a license on his person. Peiping Broadcasts Cause More Guessing About Mao By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst The newest guessing game about Communist leadership concerns Red China's Mao Tse Tung. Some guesses go so far as to say he is dead. Others say that he is ill. The first seems unlikely, The other, possible.

The latest flurry arose from the tone of Peiping radio broadcasts and Communist Chinese editorial comment on the first anniversary of the death of another Red leader, Josef Stalin, Peiping Radio advised its listeners to "study the brilliant theories of Lenin and Stalin, especially on the strengthening of party unity and collective The call for "collective leadership" was an echo from Moscow but new for Peiping. Plea for Unity Also new for Peiping Radio was the following: "The brilliant example set by the Communist party of the Soviet Union proves that to safeguard party unity and unanimity, resolute struggle against Compromise on Tax Cut Sought WASHINGTON (U.P)- The administration is trying to build up opposition in the senate against a billion dollar cut in excise taxes that is expected to sail through the house this week, informed sources said today, Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, these sources reporter, already has sounded out some senators on the possibility of putting a 15 per cent ceiling on most st excises instead of the 10 per cent proposed in the house bill. The administration is dead set against any cut on the grounds the government can't afford the lost revenue. But Humphrey now is said to feel the battle is lost in the house and that the only hope is to get a compromise passed in the senate.

House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind.) predicted in a statement yesterday that the full slash will pass quickly when it comes up for debate Wednesday. Democratic Caucus Endorses Jimmy LOS ANGELES (U.P) James Roosevelt, endorsed by the Democratic party as its candidate for Congress from the 26th District, began a campaign today to establish a political record he hopes will "obliterate the smears against me." Roosevelt, 47-year-old son of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, won the nomination yesterday party caucus attended by 350 delegates and observers. Roosevelt, accused by his wife, Romelle, of infidelities with 12. women, delivered a three minute speech before the voting.

Vote Is Close He won the endorsement on the second ballot. Although 11 candidates originally were in the running for the party's seal of approval, Roosevelt's only serious competition came from lawyer Jerry Pacht. Pacht trailed Roosevelt by 12 votes on the first count and finally lost by 14 votes on the second ballot, when Roosevelt got one vote more than the 90 required for endorsement. The final was 91 for Roosevelt to 77 for Pacht, Will Be Opposed "I am very grateful to the people who supported me and for the fine sportsmanship of my opponent," Roosevelt said. He declined to comment on what effect he thought his wife's charges would have on his political future.

Roosevelt will not be unopposed in the primaries. Ned Redding, president of the Los Angeles Board of Utilities and Transportation, boycotted the party caucus, declaring his intention to run on the Democratic ticket regardless of the convention's action.

The latter would seem to suggest that a purge in the Chinese Communist party is planned or already has been carried out. Speculation about Mad is natural for a number of reasons. One is that he has not appeared at a public function since Dec.

16 when he accepted the credentials of Soviet Ambassador P. F. Yugin. Since then, he delegated Red army chief Chu Teh to accept the credentials of the Hungarian ambassador on Jan. 27, missed the cocktail party at the Soviet embassy Feb.

14 celebrating the fourth anniversary of the Sino Soviet friendship pact, and chose party vice chairman Liu Shao-Chi to make the principal address in his place at the second postwar meeting of the Communist party central committee earlier in February. The pattern of the speculation about Mao has its parallel in the case of Stalin. Stalin's death or serious illness was rumored for years before it actually occurred. Similarly, speculation about Mao's successor. Georgi Malenkov was recognized as the man to watch when he took Stalin's place to deliver the principal address at the 19th Communist party congress in Moscow in October, 1952.

On Stalin's death he became premier. So, the speculation is that Liu Shao-Chi is the Malenkov of China. Will Hays, Former Movie Dies (Continued from Page One) died at noon yesterday. He was stricken with pneumonia in November, 1953, and grew weaker steadily. Hays come to Hollywood when the young film industry was in trouble with reform elements across the country.

There was public criticism of lengthy kisses, scanty clothing and other manifestations of the "flapper" age. He Chopped Kisses Hays convinced the producers it would be easier, and more profitable, to regulate themselves. One of the first things he did was cut kisses to what he considered reasonable lengths. The czar peas hard on bedroom and bathtub scenes, too. He was responsible for the "morality clause" in actors' contracts, a clause which gave studios the right to fire an actor involved in a scandal.

When he stepped down in 1943, he was retained as a "consultant" at $100,000 a year. The office is now run by Joseph I. Breen. Despite his Washington, and Hollywood careers, Hays always looked upon this Indiana mining town as his home. He kept house and voted here.

In 1902 he married Helen Louise Thomas. His son was born of that marriage. His second wife was Jessie Herron Stutsman, whom he married in 1930.
