meess On Camev Paginations Reported DETROIT (AP) Wayne State University medical researchers say they may have discovered a way to treat cancer by vaccination. Results they claim for a four-year program so far include: Two cancer patients, earlier given up as hopeless cases, completely freed of their tumors. Eight others once considered beyond help slill alive, their cancers either halted or growing more slowly. Two patients with advanced tumors, their lives believed prolonged by the treatments. Others among the 20 patients treated showed no improvement, said Dr.

Paul L. Wolf, Wayne State professor of pathology and director of experimental pathology at the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research. Failure in these cases, Dr. Wolf said, probably came because the disease was too far advanced and the patient's body no longer capable of producing cancer-fighting antibodies. The Wayne group's vaccine, he explained, aids the victim's body in producing these antibodies.

Many cancer patients are lost, Dr. Wolf said, be cause their bodies don't fight the disease. The body recognizes the malignant cells as part of it, and doesn't react by producing the chemicals needed to kill them. The WSU group combined cancerous cells taken from the patient with chemicals obtained from the cells of rabbits. Then the combination is injected into the patient.

His body then recognizes the matter as foreign and produces antibodies to fight it. In the process. Dr. Wolf said, the antibodies may kill or retard the tumor. The researchers, working with mice and human patients at Noblesville State Hospital, reported succesl in fighting cancers of the skin, liver and breast.

Dr. Wolf said that "if this program could be applied on a large scale, I would anticipate a fair degree of success." Dr. Wolf said his group hoped to run a larger series of tests on cancer patients at Detroit Receiving Hospital, but added its timetable is "quite indefinite." lie said the WSU group is handicapped by lack of full-time clinical help, but added it was sending information about the method to doctors and cancer research centers around the nation.

Gay Brewer and Tommy Jacobs hit the final wire of the 30th Masters golf tournament in a dead heat, it really caused a tizzy in this Georgia community of approximately 75,000 regular residents. Some say Augusta's population explodes by as many as 40,000 during Masters week and the local residents by Sunday night are ready to return to normalcy. But the playoff caused thousands to try to rearrange travel plans, re-reserve hotel rooms and rush to restaurants, most of which weren't even open. For hours after the tournament ended in a tie it was virtually impossible to get a long distance operator and the town's small airport was absolutely inundated by calls from those wanting to change plane reservations. There was one consolation, however.

Tournament officials, who had brought on the wrath of millions of Georgia and South Carolina golf fans by blacking out television of the Masters, relented for today's playoff so even the home folk, who haven't been able to buy tickets for live weeks, could sec.
