Wednesday, November 17, 1954 THE KEY WEST-CITIZEN “Page 5 7 Western Diplomats Hail US, — | Offer Of Fissionable Matter By TOM HOGE UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. # — Western diplomats Tuesday hailed the dramatic U.S. offer of 220 Pounds of fissionable material for atomic reactors around the world as the biggest step forward since President, Eisenhower first broach- ‘ed his atoms for peace plan. Delegates viewed the unprece- dented offer, which would virtually double the number of reactors this side of the Iron Curtain, 2s a mo- mentous step toward placing atom- ic discoveries at the service of man, U.S. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. made the announcement Monday to the U.N.’s 60 nation Political Committee, which is de- bating the Eisenhower proposal. Informed sources said the fis sionable material offered—estima- ted to be enough to make at least one atomic bomb—would provide enough fuel to run 30 or 40 new reactors. France’s atomic spokes- man, Jules Moch, said there now are 32 reactors in existence out- side Russia and her satellite na- tions. Lodge had announced Nov. 5 that the United States stood ready to conclude bilateral agreements with other nations tq furnish fissionable materials for atomic reactors. But few delegates here thought Wash- ington would act so quickly, In a terse aside to Russia’s An- drei Vishinsky, who had charged that the United States had “nar- rowed down” the scope of Kisen- hower’s original plan, Lodge voiced hope that the U.S. offer would “once and for all remove from the mind of all any confusion as.to-how specific the United States atoms- for-peace proposition really is,” U.S. sources indicated the fis- sionable materials would be ear- marked by the proposed interna- tional atomic agency to Participat- ing nations for building reactors for peaceful purposes, The United States and six other Western atomic powers have spon- sored a resolution designed to set up an international atomic agency along the lines of an autonomous specialized U.N. agency. The Russians have submitted a series of still-secret amendments tothe resolution. Reliable sources say the Soviet changes would place the proposed agency under the U.N. Security Council, in which the Russians wield a veto, and would give Red China a say in the negotiations on the agency.

BLAKESLEE ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. #—Hu- man cancers can be made to shine with a bright red warning light for easy - detection, a medical team announced here. This may prove a great break- through against cancer. It could lead to a pretty sure way of telling whether a person has cancer, whether it has spread in his body, where. all the cancer is located. It might also create a new way of carrying radioactive atoms to cancers to. destroy them. A chemical obtained from human blood is injected into a person’s veins. This chemical, porphyrin, lodges in cancer tissue. Then when body tissues are ex- amined under ultraviolet or invis- ible black. light, the porphyrin shines with a red light of danger as bright as a woman's lipstick. So far this method has outlined entire cancers in a few human bodies, telling surgeons the ex- tent of the cancer for complete removal, Doctors D. S. Rasmussen- Taxdal, Grant E. Ward and Frank H. J. Figge of Baltimore told the American College -of Surgeons. - There is, hope that the porphyrin can be combined -with iodine so that it would:show up undef X- ra ‘t would mean a person could have the injection, then be X-rayed or fluoroscoped to see if he has cancer, and where it is. The porphyrin-iodine presumably would go to any places where the cancer had spread in the body and reveal those locations for _life- saving treatment. This spreading action, called metastasis, is one reason why many people die of cancer. The original cancer is re- moved, but its seeds already have spread: elsewhere, take root grow. a Another possibility is that radio- active atoms could be attached to Porphyrin, and be carried to the sites of cancer to root them out with lethal radiation. Rasmussen-Taxda, now 5 a year at the University of Cali- fornia Hospital, spoke for the medi- cal team fromthe. Johns Hopkins University and University of Mary- land. Figge, head of the team, has long been interested in Porphyrin. “Gone With The . Wind” Is On At Islander Now David O. Selznick’s production of “Gone With the Wind,” probably er bale motion picture ever ide, ig now brought to the Is- lander Theatre in wide screen. The magnificient Technicolor film version'of Margaret Mitchell’s novel, starring Clark Gable, Vivien » Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland, is even more specta- cular ‘in its new wide screen pres- entation. Such spellbinding’ scenes as Sherman’s march to the sea and the resulting panic-stricken flight of the populace from Atlanta, the seige of Atlanta and the burning of its. munitions warehouses, the glittering ball:at Tara and the plantation sequences, the marching armies and all the pageantry of the Civil War era are given a pan- oramic effect on the. enlarged screen that is. literally breathtak- ing. The moving scenes of this never- to-be-forgotten story gain added dramatic impact in the vastly en- larged scope of the wider screen, and the color and pageantry of its backgrounds are immeasurably en- hanced. Many pictures have been made since “Gone With the Wind” was first released, but none has eclips- ed the surge and power of this stir- ring love story laid against Civil War days with its tremendous pan- orama of a country in the midst of conflict. Lottery Operation Under Scrutiny In Phenix City PHENIX CITY, Ala. @ — With former Chief Deputy Sheriff Al- bert Fuller under seven-year pris- on sentence for taking vice pay- offs, the state shifted its attention today to an accused partner in a five-million-dollar lottery racket.

Couple Released After 5 Years In Prison By ENDRE MARTON BUDAPEST, Hungary #—U.S. legation officials formally asked Hungary’s Communist government today where American representa- tives can get in touch with Noel Field and his wife Herta. The gov- ernment announced earlier it had released the couple from jail after five years imprisonment and quashed spy charges against them. The announcement gave no in- dication of the whereabouts of the 50-year-old former U.S. State De- partment employe and his Ger- ‘man-born wife. Although their re- lease was announced early today, the legation said up to midmorning it had not received any official notification. U.S. officials said they also re- ceived no answer to two notes sent earlier to Hungarian authorities demanding consular interviews with the Fields and their repatria- tion. The Hungarian Foreign Ministry, however,. promised today to con- sider a request by the small con- tingent of Western news corres- Pondents in Budapest for aid in contacting the American couple. Noel and Herta were among four members of the Field family who vanished at intervals behind the Iron Curtain in 1949 and 1950. The Hungarian announcement over Budapest radio came only 23 days after Poland’s Communist government said it had freed Hermann Field, Noel’s brother, Hermann, a_ Cleveland architect, had been arrested in Warsaw while searching for: Noel. He is still in Poland convalescing in a sanitari- um. The latest announcement left only the fate of Noel's adopted daughter Mrs. Robert Wallach still unexplained. Mrs. Wallach, the former Erika Glaser, disappeared in East Berlin Aug. 26, 1950, while searching for her foster father. During the intervening years, there was no official indication of what happened to the Fields, al- though their names cropped up in various Iron Curtain treason trials. Communist propaganists accused Noel of being an ‘‘anti-Soviet” American spy and linked him to “Titoist” plots in Hungary. The Hungarian announcement said the Budapest government has dropped all spy charges against Noel and Herta after a review of their case indicated they could not be substantiated. (In the United States, admitted former’Communists Whittaker Chambers and Hede Massing have testified that Noel Field was once a member of a Communist apparatus in Washington.) After Poland released Hermann Field, Western observers here an- ticipated that Noel would be turned loose. But American diplomats said the Hungarian government ig- |legation in the last six weeks dor Manding his freedom. The sources Said they received no private hints Hungary intended to comply. The field mystery began in May 1949, when Noel left his wife in Switzerland and went to Pragui Czechoslovakia. He was last heard from in that city May 12. After he disappeared, his wife flew to Prague to look for him and she too vanished. Noel’s name came up in the sen- Sational trial in October 1949 of Las’lo Rajk, then Hungarian for- eign minister. Rajk was accused of Scheming with Yugoslavia’s Mar- shal Tito to hand the country over to “American imperialists.” He was hanged. The prosecution at the trial de- scribed Noel as an assistant to Al- len Dulles (now head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency) in the Office of Strategic Services—a U.S. cloak-and-dagger organization during World War II — with the job of organizing American espion- age in Russian-occupiéd areas of Europe.
