~ NEWGANGER CLINIG OPENED IN' SOUTH Emory University Facilities Include Latest Types of Equipment. B the Associated Press. ATLANTA, July 24.—Increase in Southern facilities for cancer treat- ment and research was noted today by medical men as Emory University Hospital completed initial work on & clinie. ‘The Emory unit is among the latest additions to equipment used in the fight against the disease in this sec- tion. Emory officials announced the clinic is expected to serve as a center for consultation with physicians of the Southeast as well as to give X-ray and radium treatment. Robert 8. Hudgens, hospital super- intendent, said the latest X-ray equip- ment has been placed in the lead- shielded rooms. Doors automatically control the machines to prevent in- jury to accidental intruders. A new type treatment table that avoids mov- ing the patisnt was built for the unit. Soft colors are used in the decora- tion motif. Hudgens said the clinic Ao will specialize in creating a proper psychological attitude id pa- tients toward their ailment Dr. James Elliott Scarborough of Mount Williams, Ala., returned from Memorial Hospital in New York to be director of the new clinic. Dr. Everett L. Bishop, Atlanta physi- cian, is pathologist. The clinic, named as & memorial to the late Robert Winsh.), Atlanta business leader, was established through a donation for that purpose to Emory University. It covers the ground floor of one wing of the hos- pital. Cancer Institute (Continued From First Page.)

The architects say that five weeks later everything w be in readiness to start work. The first three buildings to be erect- ed on a plot of land already surveyed for the project will take care of the medical center, to be used exclusively for study in cancer causes. After that the other buildings will be a duplication of the National Institute of Health, now at Twenty-fifth and XE streets. In these buildings will be continued the hygiene and health studies now being carried on br the Public Health Service. “Luke Wilson's whole dream of life was to benefit humanity—especially | in the creation of a cancer center,” Dr. Thompson said. Already, to back up that dream, the Public Health Service has been pr eented by Congress with the sum total | of £1.465000 to ca on general | health work at Bethesda.

There are certain fundamental rea- sons why John Garner can do the repair job he was called back from Texas to do.
