Dallas Doctors Discover Jack Ruby Has Cancer DALLAS -Jack Ruby, accused nt murdering the man wlio killed President Kennedy, lias cancer. Iwo doctors disclosed Saturday, The cancer siarlcd some lime ago and began an unnollccd spread through Ruby's body. It was discovered only whon Ihe fluid caused in Ihe lung cavity built up so much nuby could not take a deep breath. Whether It can be arrested, or whether Ruby will recover, Is not know yet, doctors said. Drs.

Jay Sanford and Walls Webb said in a joint news conference thai Ruby had minor surgery at Parkland Hospital Saturday to remove a small lymph node in his neck. Tha node was cancerous and gave doctors tissue for tests to find out more about Ruby's cancer. But the fact the node, which Is one ol many In Ihe body serving to tiller bacterial germs, had a malignant growth and was almost all cancerous indicated the cancer may have spread extensively. The node was the size of a fingertip, said, where the neck meets the collarbone. Drs.

Sanford and Webb said Ihey lemoved live quarts of fluids from Ruby's chest cavity since he was taken to Parklard Hospital Friday evening wilh whal had been thought to be pneumonia. The first tests showed it was much more than that, doctors said. The amount of fluid indicated the extent of Ruby's Illness. Ruby's cancer means Ihe chances are slim that he would be tried any time soon for the murder of l.ee Harvey Oswald assassin of Kennedy. Ruby's second trial had already been set for Wichita Kalis, possibly in February.

The doctors said tests on the lymph node tissue will start next week and should provide many medical answers. Doctors Sanford and Webb said whether the cancerous growth can be stopped depends rm where it slarted, They pointed out that Arthur Godfrey had an extensive lumor removed years ago and Is doing well. "Ills Immediate condition is good but hli long lerm outlook Is guarded," Webb Said. Webb performed the biopsy. The tests that will begin Monday will determine If more surgery is needed now and will pinpoint tht source ol cancer.

Doctors it Ihe hosplUI gave Ruby a preliminary diagnosis of pneumonia when first en- lered the hospital Friday, But hospital spokesmen Saturday had hinled Ruby suffered from something far more serious than pneumonia. Ruby was convicted In 1984 of the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald and was sentenced to death, Put conviction wu overturned earlier tils year ud a new trUl hid beet ordmd to start sometime February In Wichita Falls, Tex.
