SEMINAR The first Item out of a thick brochure wu entitled How to Survive a Seminar and it turned out, in general, to be a very useful, even essential, sheet o instructions and advice.

It was a little gtiidebook, hopefully intended to assist a small army of newspapermen and science writers in interpreting and reporting the newest findings and views of many of the worlds leading scientists engaged in the light against cancer.

But seminar reporting especially this one - isnt that simple. Neither is there a simple little guidebook for science to use against cancer.

The fight to conquere cancer is a brave, heroic struggle, fought on many fronts and waged against heavy odds, odds that once appeared hopeless.

But the cancer fighers are confident, more confident than ever, that someday the conquest will come.

'There is today even more reason for hope.

SCIENTISTS - More than .50 top scientists and cancer researchers gathered at Palm Beach Shores for the annual writers seminar of the American Cancer Society, and their eyes shone with hope.

They were to present dozens of scientific papers and research reports, to participate in panel programs and interviews.

These are the men and women. with countless others in their laboratories and at their microscopes, in the operating rooms and in the cancer W'ards, working step by step to amass the knowledge and know-how to achieve the final victory.

Theirs is a work that is a low and tedious, shaping pieces of a puzzle bit by bit. and work that is often discouraging. Despite their labors, they see hundreds of patients die the cruel, agwiizing death of cancer and their most immediate goal can only be to prolong the life of the victim, to effect a cure which now means only that the patient still lives five years later,

KNOWLEDGE But these scientists already know that frequently cancer can be prevented. Sometimes it can be cured.

In some forms, lung cancer for example, only one in five is now being saved. But in recent years there have been dramatic drops in mortality rates for uterine and stomach cancer.

Little by little, discoveries are blng made, advances ach

ieved. statistical data compiled. techniques and treatments perfected. Viewed alone, it may -not be exciting but all told it adds up to one of the most dramatic chaiHers in medical science since Louis Pasteur.

Somehow it seems Inmic that a relatively short distance up the east coast of Florida at the space missile port of Cape Canaveral, now Kmnedy, more money may be spent on a single missile shot thsn the American Cancer Society's entire $12.456,745 budget for national cancer research in all 1962-63.

And. says the American Cancer Society, research is the final answer to the conquest of cancer Just as surely as it is the pathway to the moon.

MORTALITY - The number of deaths from cancer in the United States Increases each year but except for lung cancer the death rate per 100,000 population has leveled oit and in some cases dr(9ped since 1950.

It is estimated that about

290.000 persons will die from cancer in the . S. this year. An estimated 284,000 died last year, in 1962 it was 278.000 and in 1961, 273.502.

The death rate rose steadily until 1950 when it reached an age - adjusted level of 125 per 100.000 population where it has remained.

Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death among men and of 49,000 cases diagnosed in the U. S. this year. 43.000 will die.

More men than women have died of cancer every year since 1949 with the ratio of 55 men to 45 women, But cancer is the leading cause of death among women aged 30 to 54, Cancer also will tsike the lives of more than 4,900 children under the age of 15 about half of them by leukemia. More school children die of cancer than from any other disease.

SAVED The Cancer Society believes that abdut 180,-000 Americans will be saved from cancer this year. About

90.000 more will probably die who might have been saved by earlier and better treatment.

The estimate is that of every six persons who get cancer today, two will be saved and four w'iU die. One of the four might be saved if proper treatment were received in time. Three of the six will die from cancers which cannot as yet be controlled. Their only hope in the future, the Cancer Society says, lies in research.

Only the results of research can save these patients. the Society says.

PACTS Here are rough estimates on new cancer cases which W'iU be diagnosed during 1964 in North Carolina alone. In two neighboring states with comparable populations and the United States as a w'hole:

All sites Stomach CAR Lung Breast Uterus Pros. Leuk. 9.500 400 950 700 1.000 900 700 350

planta close downtown. Little mill village type houses do not have to be clustered around the factory like chicks around a mother hen.

One can look around Pitt County to find good examples of this new industrial era. The Union Carbide plant, for instance, or Formica or Collins and Aikman or Prepshirt, or the new Carolina Leaf building or the unidentified plant on the Dail farm whose agents purchased 57 acres for this purpose.

It is unfortunate, perhaps that Eastern North Carolina did not share in earlier industrial expansions of the nation and the state. But It is exciting to be a part of this new age. Even now Pitt Countians are seeing industries go up every year that fit the new industrial image. The buildings are clean and attractive. Huge lawns are seeded and carefully tended. There are no smoke stacks belching grime.

It is a responsibility of municipal and county governments to see that this trend continues wdth careful planning and zoning for future industrial growth. It would be unfair to industries which have already invested millions in good planning to allow less conscientious prospects to lower the^.. standards.

No one knows how much, industry will come to Pitt County in the next 50 years. But with good planning and cooperation from the industries themselves we can build an industrial complex of which gy ART BUCHWALO all will be proud.

Saying It Does Not Make It So

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (APIHereafter all-out war Is unthinkable. President Johns<m and Premier Khrushchev are agreed on that. But saying so doesnt make it a fact, although It Is a good talking point.

Both sides have been talking about it since the first of the year.

The Johnson administration appai ently has adopted a policy of preaching it. Adlai E. Stevenson. U. S. ambassador to the United Natlwis, made a big pitch on it two nights ago. Johnson followed up Tuesday.

Khrushchev had so much to say about it at the start of 1964 that his few thousand weU-chosen words took up almost a whole newspaper page.

Last New Years Eve he told every country with which the Soviet Union has diplomatic relations that no one but a madman could think of all-out war anymore.

He proposed an International agreement renouncing the use of force In settling international disputes.

Not to be outd(Mie In t h 1 s peace offensive, Johnson answered him the very next day, saying the time for simply talking about peace has passed -- 1964 should be a year In w'hlch we take further steps toward that goal.

At that time Johnson didnt answ-er directly some of t h e points raised by the Russian. The State Department had to do some thinking about It first. But meanwhile in his Jan. 8 State of the Union messa g e, Johnson said: Our ultimate goal is world without war. Then, as If to reassure anyone who might fear he could be gulled by Russian soft-talk, Johnson said we must be constantly prepared for the worst, constantly acting for the best. Ten days later he answered Khrushchevs New Years Eve message directly but hard 1 y with optimism. If it showed anything. It showed-.a meeting of the minds wasnt close.

For Instance: in his message

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOl GLASS SACRAME.NT

Every branch of the Chris-|ian Church has a slightly different teaching about the significance of the Last Supper. But these differences are almost insignificant compared w'ith the earnest agreement with which all ChrLstlans believe and declare that in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper they may enter into a particularly close and inspiring relationship with Jesus Christ.

He took bread and wine, designating them > his body and blood, and he bade his disciples pailake of these elements In remembrance of him. We CTiristlans are not in entire agreement as to just what takes place or how It takes place as we partake of this sacrament. But we all believe

that through participation in this sacrament we become more surely one with the Lord. His body and our body, His mind and our mind. His spirit and our spirit blend together In this sacrament. He ascended to heaven after his resurrection, yet there is a way in which he has never left the earth. And the Sacrament of the Last Supper reminds us not (Wily that he is here but that his life and ours may imder the power of faith mingle together until we are spiritually one W'ith him.

All thrtwgh the church the sacrament wl be observed. It Is designed to send us forth Into the world knowing that we are comforted, sustained and strengthened by the living pre-scence of Christ In the world and in our hearts.

All For The Sore Back

to Johnson, among other things he wanted to see cleared up In vartcms places, things that conflicted with Russian interests or desires, Khrushchev said th^ Formosa belongs to Red China and the United States should back off it and away, which would mean abandoning the American ally. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.

Naturally, from the American view, Johnson w'ouldnt buy any of that. And, while he agreed with Khrushchevs central theme of peace, he outl i n e d soiTO areas where he wanted the Russians to lay off.

Three days later, Jan. 21, the United States went Khrushchev one better by proposing the big powers freeze the numbers and types of their big nuclear weapons. There has been no agreement on that, either.

On M(widay night Stevens(wi at Princeton suggested T h e central trend of our times Is the emergence of what, for lack of a better label, might be called a policy of cease-fire and peaceful change.

I w'ould suggest we may be approaching something close to a world consensus on such a policy. We may have slipped Imperceptibly into an era of peaceful settlement of disputes.

Right behind him came Johnson Tuesday in a talk to an AFL-CTO group in Washington. He suddenly departed from his prepared speech all about his hopes at home to talk about peace and foreign affairs.

He said: The world as it was and the world as it Is are not the same any'more. Once upon a time even large-scale wars could be waged without rising the end of civilization but what was once upon a time Is no longer so because general war Is impossible,

This Is Just about what Khrushchev said: No one but a madman could think of all-out W'ar anymore. Johnson and Khrushchev are agreed on that. Trouble Is they havent agreed on how to make sure.

We read In the newspaper the other day that the Gold-water organization has just started a fund - raising drive among several speclal-interest groups. A campaign to solicit support from doctors under the banner, Physicians for Goldwater has been launched.

The doctors are being asked not only to contribute money to the campaign, but also to place Goldwater literature in tieir waiting rooms, and even to pass the Goldwat e r story on verbally to their patients.

We cant believe that doctors would go out of their way to influence their patients in this manner, but suppose, for arguments sake, a doctor did. This Is what might happen. Hello. Doctor.

Hello, Harry. What seems to be the trouble?

My back hurts, Doc. Been

hurting for about a week. Thats a good sign, Harry.

How'5 that. Doc?

It shows you havent been sitting around waiting for handouts from the government.

But I hurt my back playing golf.

Hmmn, let me check your blood pressure, . .Its kind of high.

That's bad. huh?

I wouldnt say that. Anybodys blood pressure would be high these days, the way were c(xldling the Commies and letting Castro get away with murder.

I also dont sleep so good. Who does, with the amount of Federal spending going on today and the deficit the Johnson administration is chalking up? Its a wander you get any sleep at all!

I think one of the reasons

Other Editors Saying.. Responsibility Is Key

(Salisbury Post-Newspaper editors are bombarded, especially through the mails, with ccwnplaints about whats wrong with our government.

Many of these complaint* sound inviting on the surface but Invariably they propose no counter-solution. Often theyre quite contradictory.

Take the one which came In the mornings mail. It suggests How to Fight Communism 35 ways and Win!

Item No. 3 suggests: (^t the cost of government approximately in half.

Item No. 18 suggest: Get the econ(Mny moving again. Now if, as tthe pamph 1 e t suggests, we cut the cost of government in half, wed certainly stop inflaction because about 20 per cent of our gross national product the direct result of government spending.

Wed also get the economy moving again and fast. Itd crash like a downed fighter plane spiralling helplessly toward earth. The crash would make Black Monday seem like a milk bull market.

And what about our defenses? Since more than 50 cents out of every federal dollar is spent for defense, cutting the budget In half is hardly the way to Win again C o m m u -nism.

The pamphjet is absurd as many of them are. But it uses the same tactics as. those who denounc^e our government without offering sane alternatives.

The argument is not so much states rights, but are states fulfilling their responsibilities?

Its not the merits or demerits of urban renewal, but what are cities doing to r 1 d themselves of slums and greedy landlords?

Its not so much medicare, but what are we younger folks doing to take care of older relatives or what are doctors doing to counteract charges, often true, that swne doctors are overcharging patients?

Its not state or federal aid to education, but what are towns and counties doing to build the school and pay Wie teachers?

Most people with any Intelligence at ail believe firmly that theres waste every time a higher level government assumes control of any project. But there are certain roles that government must play in our lives.

Whether Its the city, county, state or federal government depends almost entirely on how well the lower echelons respond to responsibility. The federal government starts W'ith almost no responsibility and no authority. It gets its often wasteful mitts on programs only after responsibilities have been abdicated at low'er levels.

Conservatism on a national level Is a worthy political philosophy. But theres a difference between a c(Miservative and a do-nothing.

Those who consider t h e m-selves conservatives on a national level should be wildest of liberals in their own home town, because the only way were going to keep Washington out of local affairs Is to take care of our ow'n affairs at home.

Thats right, Harry, Read em like I told you to and In two days youll feel like a new man.

By JOHN CHAMBERLAIN C(g>yrlght, 1964, King Features Syndicate. Inc.

, The effect of the recent endorsement of Barry Goldwater for President by the California Republican Assembly at Fresno has been to restore the morale of the Goldwateritcs nationally. But (Joldwaters own morale, on the testimony of those close to him, stiffened a little bit earlier. When he went Into New Hampshire he didnt really want to run. But h e New Hampshire experience in defeat blooded him.

The truth is that it was not until around the middle of February, too late to save the day In the Granite State, that Barry Goldwater really committed himself emotionally to his campaign. True enough, he had formally declared his candidacy early in January. But he did 80 without enthusiasm, as a matter of duty. He felt (a) that he couldnt let the pe(H>le down who had labored so hard and so long in the Draft Goldwater movement, (b) that he couldnt disillusion the growing number of young c(xiservatlve Republicans, many of whom are still in college, who will be carrying the banner of the party eight or ten yeurg fnmi now, and (c) that many can^datee for Congressional and local offices were counting heavily mi him to be the decisive element In their own campaigns.

The paychology of a reluctant man carrying the burden of others contributed a good deal, so Goldwater's associates feel, to the lackadaisical approach in New Hampshire. But that was five and more weeks ago. Bays Dick Klelndlenst, the f o r m e r Republican State Chairman of Arizona who is national director of field operations for the Goldwater movement, You wouldn't know It was the eame Barry If you watched him campaign in California. In New Hampshire he kept trying to c u t down on the number of his appearances. But in California, when I.reduce a dally round of scheduled appearances from fifteen to seven, Barry puts em all back.

What made Goldwater really angry In New Hampshire was the distortion, as he saw it. of his remarks on social security. The refrain, if you vote for Barry youll lose your social security, which was dinned into the New Hampshire public over and over again at thirty minute Intervals on TV and radio toward the end of the campaign, Impressed Goldwater as cynical demagogy, for It had nothing to do with his real proposal to let each Individual choose between government and private Insurance. Realizing, hbwever, that he had sUpped In phrasing his beliefs in New Hampshire, Goldwater capitulated to his organization on the subject of shooting from the hip. He now dlsciplhies h 1 e free-and-easy nature by submitting to an hours discussion and briefing every mom 1 n g before campaigning. And at least three hours of discussion precede every Important TV question - and - answer appearance.

The people In the (^Idwater organization know that they cannot stop their man from giving spiHitaneously candid answers to questions. But since he is being watched as no other campaigner is being wat c h e d, they know that gaiety and Ir-repressibillty will be called juvenility by their enemies. Naturally, they argue that ir-repressibillty Is not the same thing as irresponsibility. They point out that Goldwater, In his The Conscience of a Conservative, has said many of the same things that Walter Llppmann, one of the severest Goldwater critics, says in hte own book, The Good Society. Wrote Llppmann; For the greater the society, the higher and more variable the standards of life, the more diversified the energies of its people for Invention, enterprise, and adaptation, the more certain It Is that the social order cannot be planned ex cathedra or governed by administrative c o m-mand. We live in such an immensely diversified civilization that the only Intelligible criterion which political thinkers can entertain in regard to it, the only feasible goal which statesmen can set themselves In governing it, is to reconcile the conflicts which spring from (Continued on Page 5)

More Tips On Business Abroac.

By ELMER ROESSNER Always send flowers to your hostess before having dl n n e r at a business associate's home.

Carry plenty of bus 1 n e s s cards, but have no slogans or advertising printed mi them.

Never call a business acquaintance by his first name unless he specifically asks you to do so.

Make appointments days before you want to call on someone.

These are a few of the rules contained In Pan Amerl can World Airways booklet "Business Customs in Europe for Americans doing business on the Continent.

Some American businessmen looking for new opportunities in Europe, Latin America. Africa and Asia are often surprised to learn that not only are the ground rules different In those ballparks, but sometimes they dont even seem to play the same game '

The Pan ^iicrlcap booklet

r ""

all, of the business and social practices in Europe which frequently differ from those in the United Stales. A detailed, country - by - country guide would require volumes. LITTLE THLNGS COUNT

The suggestiMis sometim e s may sound trivial. But trivia oftr makes or breaks a deal. More Important than the specifics, the booklet indicates the kind of thing to watch for and encourages Americans to do a little homework before venturing overseas.

Example: European busi

nessmen attach more Importance to the Individual they are dealing with than Americans do. If a European likes, trusts and believes In a man, he will be willing to do business with him. If a Ehiropean doesnt like a representat 1 v e. then the companys size, reputation and credit rating Isnt likely to help.

Europeans usually judge a man by the little things -- the clothes he wears, the tone of

his voice, his bearing, how much he understands' and ccm-forms to European manners and methods, and so forth. But customs and practices vary from country to country and province to province.

Take, for instance, time. Its mandatory to keep appointments promptly in Northern European countries. If a visitor epcpects to be even a few minutes late for a business meeting, then he calls ahead and says so.

In Southern European countries and in many Latin American nations, pe(g>le are blithely careless about keeping dates and an hour or .so one way or another never disturbs anyone concerned, unless it is an Irate American.

LEISURELY APPROACH

Another difficulty, particularly for executives going abroad on a tight schedule, is that almost everywhere" else in the world it *s nide to get right dowTi to business.

A foreign businessman wants

to make his guest comfortable and put him at his ease w'ith small talk. He also wants time to size up his visitor. In extreme cases there may even be two or three seemingly fruitless meetings before business Is seriously dlscusa-ed.

Some dos and donts can be frustratingly obscure. In Bangkok, inadvertently pointing a foot at a Thai business associate or putting an arm around his shoulder is likely to end abruptly any present or future, business relations.

And in Europe, a major pitfall Is to fall to use a persons title. A Ph.D. in any subject gives the holder the privilege of being called doctor." Higher titles in a company, such as director, should also be used. And in sMne places wives are addressed by their husbands title.

Woe to the American in such a place who fails to address Frau Dlrektor Hausenp-feffer by her full namel
