The City of Hope at Duarte, Cal.
is the site of the National Medical
Center, a NON-SECTARIAN, FREE
CENTER . WHERE EXTENSIVE RE-
SEARCH and treatment in the catas-
trophic diseases—cancer, leukemia,
hodgkins disease, heart ailments, and
tuberculosis is given without charge
regardless of race, color or creed,
to anyone who otherwise the cost-
ly treatments would pauperize . . .
The creed of the City of Hope is,
"We do not believe in saving the
_ e destroy the
liody if in the process w
soul."
The latest addition to this $10,-
000,000 center which started as a tent
42 years ago in the deserts of the
valley of the Sierra Mts. housing
two patients and now sprawls over
75 acres housing 400 patients — is
the child's leukemia wing—a cheer-
ful, Disney decorated wing where
PARENTS and doctors are in con-
stant attendance. In a process unique
in U. S. Hospitals, the City of -Hope
encourages parents of leukemia
stricken children to accept a course
of hospital training and spend as
much time as possible in the leu-
kemia ward ,working with he chil-
dren. For the children, this is help-
ful since they respond better to the
treatment in the presence of their
loved ones and to the parents, with
whom the hospital is also concerned,
sharing their children's last day
and helping however - they can,
eases the sorrow and gives them
strength to continue life following .
their loss.
The Center was the first in the
U. S. to obtain the cobalt bomb and
boasts the latest of medical equip-
ment and many discoveries in the
treatment and cure of these dread-
diseases. The National Medical Cen-
ter which is under Jewish Auspices,
is maintained thru such groups as
the Detroit Business Men's and
women's auxiliaries thruout the
United States as well as labor and
- industrial groups. It is a "peoples
movement."
The Detroit Business Men's Group
which was organized about 11 years
ago with but 12 members• raising ap-
proximately $2,000, today has 65 (40
active ones) who last year raised
$80,000, and set it's goal for this
drive at $100,000. Eugene Epstein
is president, r Ben Goldberg, chair-
man, Jos. Lee, co-chairman.

Final plans have been made for
the Detroit Business Men's Group
Annual Dinner Dance Nov. 4 at the
Sheraton Cadillac Hotel. Year after

Ford Hospital
Invites City of
Hope Doctor

Dr. Russell T. Jordan, chairman
of the department of microbiology
of the City of Hope Medical Re-
search Institute at Duarte, Cal., will
participate in the International Sym-
posium on Viral Hepatitis at Henry
Ford Hospital starting Oct. 6:
The powerful gamma rays emitted
by radioactive cobalt-60 were sug-
gested today as a possible means to
kill a variety of viruses, among them
those- causing viral hepatitis, polio,
encephalitis and other diseases.
The idea was advanced 'by Dr.
-Russell T. Jordan, who also noted
that the advent of increased uses
of blood and 'its various fractions
in combatting disease has been ac-
companied by increases in occur-
rence of deadly serum hepatitis
(SH).
In the studies on which he re-
ported today, Dr. Jordan subjected
six viruses—of varying dimensions—
to cobalt-60 gamma radiation: polio
(Lansing strain), SI. Louis encepha-
litis (SLE), Western equine ence-
phalomyitis, viccina (cawpax), the
Navy virus and the. Eastern equine
encephalomyelitis virus.
Bone grafting and tissue trans-
plants is a possible means by which
viral hepatitis may be transmitted
from one human to another, Dr.
Jordan pointed out. He initiated
experiments several years ago, while
at the University of Michigan, in
gamma radiation of bone for graft-
Mg purposes. He noted that gamma-
irradiated sterilized bone has been
used successfully in more than 80
surgical procedures at the University
of Michigan Hospital since the be-
-ginning of his studies.
Dr. Jordan, former University of
Michigan bacteriologist, was senior
author of the present report, titled
"Virus Inactivation with Gamma
Radiation from Cobalt-60" • Co-au-
thor was Dr. Lloyd L. Kempe of the
University of Michigan School of
Medicine. •
