SOVIET PROPAGANDA
BEING MAILED TO SCHOOLS
Chicago, Dec. 11.—A Soviet
propaganda magazine is moving
through the mails to schools in
dozens of cities across the na
tion. a spot-check showed to
day, but many copies are toss
ed in the wastebasket.
School authorities in most of
the cities receiving the “So
viet Information Bulletin,” pub
lished by the Russian Embasy
at Washington put a flat ban
on it.
Some asked to be taken off
the mailing list, and reported
that the embassy complied.
A few placed the bulletin in
their libraries, frankly labeled
as propaganda for study as
such by students or teachers.
In New York City, authori
ties said they found the bulle
tin an “excellent weapon to
combat Communism by read
ing excerpts to students.
In many other cities where
the bulletin had not been re
ceived, officials said they were
prepared to give it a cold re
ception.
The magazine, a slick-paper
product which officials said pic
tured Utopian-like conditions in
Russia, appeared to be going
chiefly to public high schools
and some colleges.
The survey followed a bitter
protest of Rep. George H. Ma
hon (D., Tex.), to the U.S. Of
fice of Education against the
appearance of the bulletin in
Lubbock, Tex., high schools.
Mahon was told, however,
that the publication cannot be
kept from the mails and that it
is up to local school authorities
whether it is kept from stu
dents.
Russian Embassy officials
commented that they were un
der the impression the United
States has no censorship. The
State Departments also has
frowned on protests against the
bulletin, presumably because
suppression might provoke a
retaliation ban against Ameri
can magazines in Russia.
The survey showed, however,
that local school authorities
were taking matters into their
own hands.
The survey showed one to
two copies of the monthly pub
lication being mailed to schools,
usually with a request that it
be placed in school libraries.
At Syracuse, N. Y., however,
Superintendent David H. Pat
ton said about 10 copies were
received “under the pretense
that they were UN publica
tions.” He issued a ban.

BETATRON TREATMENT
DECLARED SUCCESS
Chicago, Dec. 8.—A Univers
ity of Illinois scientist reported
today that initial Betatron
treatment of cancer patient
has been a success.
A 72-year-old man reported
dying from a throat cancer has
been virtually cured.
Dr. Robert A Harvey, head
of the university’s radiology de
partment, said the tumor of the
first patient to be treated with
the Betatron X-ray machine
has healed.
The university scientist said
the patient is not absolutely
“cured" because medicine does
not recognize a “cure” unless
five years have elapsed with
out a recurrence of the illness.
The aged man was critically
ill when first subjected to rays
from the Betatron machine 14
weeks ago. Several other pa
tients with forms of cancer,
previously considered beyond
the realm of medical aid, have
since been given the treatment,
Dr. Harvey reported:
“TTi results are encouraging
but we have had too few cases
to evaluate properly the place
of the Betatron in cancer ther
apy.”
The Betatron, used at the
University of Illinois Chicago
Campus for the first time in
this country, utilized 25 mil
lion volts of electricity. Scien
tists believe its greatest use
will be in treating cancers lo
cated in spots inaccessible to
ordinary methods.
Conventional X-ray machines
cannot be used on locations
such as the throat and portions
of the head because they are
too dangerous. Intensive heat
developed at the skin areas us
ually results in damage to tis
sues.
The Betatron, with its high
voltage penetrates deeper into
the body developing maximum
intensity at the area being
treated without damaging the
skin.
Dr. Harvey reported the sec
ond patient treated with the
super X-ray machine had a
huge canced of the jaw in
which an operation was impos
sible. He said the tissue in
this case has healed, except for
a small spot, although the
fat of the bone has not yet been
determined.
The third patient suffered a
cancer of the throat which had
affected one vocal cord and
was beginning to damage the
other. The treatment appears
to have arrested the infection.
A fourth patient is being
treated for a brain tumor but
results of the Betatron treat
ment are unknown to date. Dr.
Harvey said, however, that spe
cialists have reported nerve
symtons in the patient have
been reduced.

CHARGES THURMOND
APPOINTMENTS 'POLITICAL’
Columbia, Dec. 8. — Charges
that Governor Thurmond’s ap
pointments to the State Indus
trial Commission were political
payoffs were hurled here today
by a fiery, blunt-spoken labor
leader in his testimony before
a legislative committee inves
tigating workmen’s compensa
tion rates in South Carolina.
Earle R. Britton, president of
the South Carolina Federation
of Labor and representatives of
the A. F. of L. in this state,
told the committee that Thur
mond alone was responsible for
this situation which he describ
ed as making the Industrial
Commission a political foot
ball.
“In 1944 I said the Indus
trial Commission was a politi
cal machine and I still say it
is,” Britton said after which
he sailed into Thurmond whom
he said had asserted that “he
was going to clean things up.”
“What did he do? The first
appointment he made was his
campaign manager, James J.
Reid,” and the labor leader as
serted that Reid is a former
insurance man. He is chair
man of the commission and the
law provides that the chairman
must be neutral while two
members must represent labor
and two represent management.
