HENRY, Star Staff Correspondent. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., April 24.— A hand-spun fog of mysterious se- crecy enveloped a Georgia moun- | tainside today as President Roose- velt and Prime Minister W. L. Mac- kenzie King of the Dominion of | Canada continued two days of con- | sultations in the Chief Executive's cottage high above this health re- treat. | Officially, the first wartime meet- ing of the heads of these two dom- | inant American states was purely a | vacation visit involving “no question of American or Canadian policy.” To observers. at whom was di- rected a presidential hope “that no unwarranted conclusion, deductions or assumptions would be drawn,” | however, the discussions were mare than ever believed weighted with significance as regards the contin- | uing relationships of the neighboring nations—one at peace, the other at war. Arriving here yesterday shortly | before noon, the Dominion Prime Minister lunched with Mr. Roose- velt and in midafternoon visited three Canadian patients at the in- fantile paralysis foundation. Mr. | Roosevelt personally drove Mr. Mackenzie King to the foundation headquarters for his call on the trio and-then tock him for a ride along the miles of dirt roads in the ex- tensive foundation grounds. Mr. | Mackenzie King planned to leave here this afternoon for Wililamsburg, Va.

Justice Letts a few min- utes later placed them on proba- tion. | over to Maryland officers after waiv- | ing extradition and taken to Balti- | more.

The swastika, symbol of hate and death that now flies along a line | between democracy and tyranny | from Switzerland to the Arctic Cir- | | cle, is also the signature of the most dreaded enemy of human life itself -—cancer. Unconsciously the Reich has se- lected the emblem of the invisible destroyer, according to a report to | the National Academy of Sciences | here yesterday by Dr. D. F. Jones of the Connecticut State Agricul- tural station. Normally countless millions of cells of which ‘a living organism is | composed continue to reproduce 2ach other exactly during the life of the | individual. Brain cells reproduce | brain cells, liver cells reproduce liver | cells. In the same way, among plants, bark cells reproduce bark | cells and leaf cells reproduce leaf | cells. The organism, man or petunia, | is constantly dying, cell by cell, and | constantly being reborn. | Many “Causes” of Cancer. For some reason not understood normal cells occasionally are born | which do not fit into the pattern— brain cells that do not fit into the structure of the brain, leaf” cells which do not fit’into the structure of the leaf. These are outlaw cells in the government of the organism, {and they constitute cancer. Unless their progress can be stopped they are certain to kill the whole of which they form an anarchistic part. The longer one lives the greater the probability that some ! such cells will appear. , It is known that there are many “causes” of cancer. It may be set off by X-rays, radium, 40 or 50 | known chemicals, hormones, viruses, | germs, irritation. It may appear without any traceable cause, sup- posedly from some hereditary weak- ness of the organism. The funda- mental cause, in any event, is that the cell does not reproduce itself ex- actly any longer and hence does not fit into respectable biological so- | ciety. i Each cell consists of a nucleus sur- | rounded by a medium known as cytoplasm. It reproduces by dividing. The division starts with the nucleus |in which are the chromosomes. These, sometimes visible under the microscope, are usually like strings | of beads, each bead being a gene, one of the units of heredity. Thus there may be a gene, or combination of them, that determines color of the eyes, and another that deter- mines length of the arms. Each cell, plant or animal contains the num- | ber of chromosomes characteristic of | the species. May Bring Mutations. It is known that the very same agencies that produce cancer, such | | as X-rays, may when applied to the | germ cells of a species result in a| mutation and the birth of a new| |kind of plant or animal. Dr. Jones | reported to the National Academy | on the relocations in chromggsomes |in the seeds of corn caused by va- rious agencies. | He found that there is a_notable | | relocation in chromosome parts, not | | visible in the cells of animals usual- | |1y used in cancer investigations. The new evidence, he said, shows that such rearrangements “may re- sult in permanent alterations in growth activity as well as in color, size, shape and composition of cells. Thus the same process that is in- | volved in the formation of new | species of living organisms also produces new Kkinds of cells in | somatic tissues and these new cells may become independent of normal | control. | “Up to the present it has been | considered generally that chromo- somal alterations are the result and |not the cause of abnormal growth. This is true for the gross chromo- | somal alterations visible in somatic | cells, but these have obscured sig- | nificant _alterations that are re- | e—— D T WHERE TO DINE.

Follow Swastika Pattern. “It is now apparent why external agents such as physical radiations, | carcinogenic chemicals, hormones, | viruses and parasitic organisms can produce the same result as inherited tendencies, either by increasing the frequency of chromosomal breaks and relocations or by altering the growth regulating regions in the chromosomes.” | Then Dr. Jones showed pictures of the actual rearrangements in the chromosomes, basic “strings of life,” in the corn seed. Two or more of | them would be joined in patterns so close in appearance to the Nazi insignia that it was hard to believe they were not actual swastikas. In an exhibit he showed many ab- | normal plant growths resulting from | these swastika chromosomes. | “The swastika seems to be the| symbol of malignant growth every- where,” he declared. World-Wide Symbol. As a human symbol of unknown | significance the swastika was prac- | tically world-wide in its distribution | and dates from the earliest days of the human race.

Mrs, Percy Y. | Schelly of Philadelphia was the only | nominee to the office of president general, succeeding Mrs. Arthur J.| O'Neill of Chicago. State presidents of the society today gave short reports of activi- ties, indicating that the society has increased in membership consider- | ably during the past year. Mrs Loren Rex, State president of Kan- sas, where four new chapters were | formed, received the Mrs. James H Carr flag for obtaining the largest number of members. Mme. Julia Cantacuzene, grand- daughter of President Grant, warned the society at its annual banquet last night that “our iustitutions and our frontiers are threatened on all sides.” “We must be prepared to defend ourselves if and when the occasion should arise,” she said Mme.
