European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 28, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 6 the stars and stripes thursday March 28 1968 Airliner risk stressed Washington a the airline passengers association wants to find out whether the president s Jet plane contains j toxic Cabin materials that would make it a potential death trap in j Case of fire. William a. Jennings the association s director of aviation safety told a House Commerce subcommittee his group has undertaken to determine at it sown expense the safety of mate rials in air Force association with head quarters at bit Lingame Calif.,claims 12,000 members mostly professional and businessmen who Are frequent airline travel ers and thus concerned about air safety. Hydrogen cyanide Jennings said Hydrogen cya Nide used in prison Gas Cham Bers is generated in Large quantities by burning of certain acrylic materials he said Are commonly found in rugs seat Sand other Interior appointments. He said results of analysis of Interior materials such As those in the presidential plane will be released As soon As they Are mention of air Force one tended to dramatize his Conten Tion that there Are continuing threats to the safety of a Laboard commercial aircraft until a requirement is established for nontoxic suggests standards Jennings comments came in suggesting standards to regu late use of materials contained in commercial airline Cabins which can release toxic gases when afire. He also called for a series of Steps including standards for training and arming of flight Crews to help prevent Hijack ing of civilian aircraft. Jennings said the Federal aviation Agency will put new standards into effect on oct. 24concerning Cabin Interior Materi als. However he said these Only concern flame proof criteria and Don t take into consideration the problem of toxic gases.

Stretch a Long i1 i Polo doctor optimistic cancer serums forecast san Diego Calif. Up an outstanding cancer authority predicts the development of vaccines for the prevention and treatment of some forms of human cancer. Right now a multiple vaccines being developed which expected to prevent several kinds of mouse cancers with one vaccination said or. Frank j. Rauscher jr., one of the re search directors of the Federal government s National cancer Institute Bethesda my. The coming scientific Triumph for some human cancers de pends upon identifying viruses which cause them. So far it has t been done but Rausche said the probability is very High it will be done relatively soon. Rauscher directs the Institute special virus leukaemia program which receives specific annual congressional appropriations that began in 1964. He re ported optimistically on Progress at the annual science writers seminar of the american cancel society Here. In another report submitted tothe conference tuesday a specialist said that a new line of re search indicates that a Pill maybe developed to prevent the spread of cancer by altering the electric charge of diseased cells the research was discussed Byrd. Bernard Gardner of the state University of new York s Brook Lyn medical Center. The approach is based on observations that cancer cells which break away from an Origina tumor sometimes attach them selves to blood vessels in other parts of the body instead of be ing eliminated by Normal processes. When they Are lodged other riot precaution new York stores halt gun sales new York Dpi some big department stores in new York have stopped gun sales Andare tightening Security procedures As a precaution against summer of racial violence. Four major stores in Newyork City Mary a Sears Roe Buck & co. Abraham & Straus and Alexander s have discontinued All gun sales during the past year according to a Survey published in women s Wear daily a Trade publication. Bamberger s in Newark n.j., stopped Selling firearms after last sum Mer s riots there. Although one of the reason cited by merchants for terminating gun sales was the new Cit Law Here requiring gun owners to Register with the City Man merchants Harbor fears that guns will be looted during sum Mer riots and the Purchase of guns might be used for purposes other than Hunting the Survey said. In Newark a Sears Branch re ported it stopped Selling guns at the request of the Newark and in Many other cities department stores have drawn up emergency plans to protect the lives of their employees customers and property in Case of a riot. In Newark a hot line has been installed to i relay information to merchant from the chamber of Commerce. No unified action was reported in new York but women s Wear daily said police Are i daily Contact with the b i g stores and Macy s has uniformed guards with portable radio transmitters stationed at entrances. A spokesman at Alexander said the store had taken no pre cautions. We Don t believe thesis going Tah Appen he said. Cancer cells tend to clump Cluster around them forming a new cancer a process known As , seeking to learn Why some cancer cells clump and others do not found this apparently is due to their electrical charges those with like charges repel each other and those with Pix site charges electrical charges of cells can be altered by adding certain chemicals to the bloodstream the possibility arose that further re search could determine what chemical balance would make cancer cells repel each other. Exciting possibilities if this idea proves Correct Gardner said some rather exciting possibilities Are opened. Perhaps someday there could be a Pill which would change the electrical charge of cancer cells prevent clumping and thus fore stall metastasis after surgical re Moval of the cancer. In the Rauscher report the Doc Tor said there Are now Over go viruses which Are known to cause virtually All kinds of cancer in every major group of animals. At least one of these viruses can be responsible for a wide variety of cancers in mice and other to this Laboratory knowledge virus like particles Are now detected regularly income human cancers. One kind of particle is identical to the virus proven to cause blood cancer or leukaemia in Labora tory animals. Particles of the other Type Are similar in Sie shape an chemical makeup to viruses known to cause fever sores Inman and cancer in some Ani Mals he added. My 1aukina00ut 106of a a g o this repeated Del. Lion an isolation of such virus like particles from human rancor patients is both evidence of virus involvement in human cancer Sand a prerequisite to the growth of larger quantities of virus in the Laboratory for crucial characterization studies and forthe development of diagnostic Antigens and potential test Rauscher spoke mainly of cancers of tissues in shed in blood formation and transport the leukaemia a and Lyn Phomas. Cancers in animal these Are chit Fly the cancers in animals proved to be of virus origin although a few animal viruses also cause solid tumor5.but quiere Are serious obstacles to the prevention of virus induced human cancers with vac Cines he is the Low Rak of human leukaemia some 10 cases per100,000 population a n n u a 11 a you d have to vaccinate a very Large number of children in or Der to prevent a very few cases Rauscher said.
