DETROIT, March 30.-(/P)-Alvan MacCauley, president of the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Commerce, indicated today that the automobile* industry will make a vigorous fight against the proposed manufacturing tax on motor cars. The opposition to the tax, he said, will be based on the claim that the automobile industry is doing more "to break the buying deadlock than any other American industry." The industry feels, he said, that when congress proposes the excise tax onC motor cars it is "aiming a blow at business recovery. "The action of the house," he added, "constitutes a serious wet blanket on our business in the face of our efforts to help restore Amer- ican prosperity. The action could not have come at a worse time." He said the automobile industry's, products last year paid a total of $1,020,000,000 in all forms of taxa- tion and that "the car on the road is taxed 18 per cent of its present value."

Researchers Claim Selenium's Value in Cancer Cases CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 30.-(/P) -Successful revival of the use of selenium, a rare element once re- j ected by eminent scientists as a treatment for cancer, is claimed by the research workers after six years of patient experiments. The three are Dr. R. M. Parr, wo- man professor of chemistry at Uni- versity of Illinois; Dr. C. E. Bucher, physician and surgeon, and Dr. R. S. Funk, woman bacteriologist as- sociated with the latter. An announcement they made Tuesday said their combined treat- C ment of a selenium solution, X-ray., or radium and a diet rich, in vita mins not only served to check can- cer in patients but when the disease1 was attacked in early stages, com- pletely eradicated it.I While expressing belief, however, that the treatment might be of, great benefit in combatting the malady, the scientists w a r n e d against undue enthusiasm, as its development was still in its experi- mental stages and much work re- mained to be done. A similar observation came at, Chicago from Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical association. He said if the treatment proves beneficial, it will be another "forward step," but "there remains too much to be established to warrant unquali- fied enthusiasm." Wasserman, Keysser and other scientists used selenium in fight- ing cancer tissues but discarded it in every case because while it ef- fectively destroyed cancer cells in rats they used for their experi- ments, it also killed most of the rats. Dr. Parr a n d her associates worked the selenium into hitherto unused combinations; diluted it greatly and said they found when injected into a patient's blood, their new solution not only arrested the growth of cancerous tissue but in many cases destroyed it, this with- out harmful effects to the patient. They resorted to the X-ray or ra- dium, a known treatment for can- cer, in their experiments, and found, they said, that the solution of selenium acted as a reflective agent when the rays were applied, creating secondary radium rays. Eastman Claimant George Eastman, a night watch- man in the Bronx 'ail in New York, hopes to share in the $20,000,000 es- tate of George Eastman, camera manufacturer.

Smith, vice-president and secretary, will be the speaker at the annual smoker of the Jun- ior Business Administration classI which will @e held at 7:30 o'clockI tonight at the Union.. The smoker, an annual affair staged by the junior class, will be attended by students and faculty of the School of Business Administra- tion. Those students who plan to enter the school next fall are also invited to be present. A varied program has been provided in addi- tion to the address by the main speaker. Associated PresJ'Jhoto BOADCAS9TS. WILL CEASE THIS WEEK University Week-Day Programs to Be Discontinued After April 1. Week-day broadcasts from the University of Michigan will cessc Friday, April 1, for the current school year. Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon programs will continue until May 7. The reason for discontinuing the radio programs at this time of year is the fact that Eastern stations change time, which necessitates a revision of all radio schedules. The program this afternoon will be directed to the high school sen- iors of Michigan. Pres. Alexander G. Ruthven, Registrar Ira M. Smith, Prof. Philip Bursley, counselor to new students, and Dean Alice Lloyd will give short talks for the benefit of those who plan on entering the University next fall. Faculty members of the engi- neering school gave a similar pro- gram last year. Upon investigating last fall they discovered that 12 per cent of the students enrolled had heard the talk and found it of aid upon entering the University. Work has been begun on the Uni- versity broadcasting station bulle- tin, which will contain those talks in most demand. It will be sent to all school libraries in Michigan, and to all listeners who request it, free of charge. The broadcasting' station may give two fifteen minute porgrams next year instead of the half-hour program given this year. Requests from high schools for special pro- grams makes it appear advisable. Due to the success of the band class instructions given by Prof. Joseph E. Maddy, additional pro- grams #ill probably be added to next year's schedule. SORRY 0 * 0 I but due to a previous engagement of the theatre there can be no performance tonight.
