Earl E. Kleinschmidt of the Depariment of Hygiene and Public Health in an article appearing in the curren. issue of Public Health Re- views, 'university publication. This number will double at the present rate of increase within 10 or 20 years, according to Dr. Klein- schmimdt. The great increase is ex- plained by the fact that many more people are reaching the age period of 40 years than did in past times. Diabetes, the article points out, is twice as prevalent in the period fol- lcwin' 40, as in the period preceding it.

Predict More Labor Strife With Bridges WASHINGTON, March 3.-( -- More labor strife on the waterfron~t. appeared probable tonight after Harry Bridges announced he was moving into Atlantic and Gulf ports with his CIO Longshoremen's Union. Seated in John L. Lewis' office, Bridges made that statement at a press conference he called rrim n riy to assail Senator Copeland (Dem., N.Y.) and the Senate Commerce Committee Copeland heads. Bridges accused Copeland of doing a job for the ship-owners in spon- soring legislation to restrict the right of seamen to strike. He said the Copeland Committee was disregard- ing all democratic procedure in re- fusing to hear the views of the CIO longshoremen of the West Coast.

There are two methods of self- financing: 1. Save first, then buy. (Savings Account) 2. Buy first, repay later. (Personal Loan) * Your choice of these two ways depends on your own sit- uation. But emergencies and opportunities seldom wait until you can save enough to take care of them. llbliC Health Is Helpful "Public health organizations, both official and unofficial, have shown their worth in the control of tuber- culosis," says the article. The de- cline of the tuberculosis mortality rate is the result of the work of these organisations, says Dr. Kleinschmidt, and he points out that similar or- ganizations can do a comparable piece of work in combatting and controll- ing diabetes. "There is an urgent need for mak- ing diabetes a reportable disease," the article states, "Present mortality statistics give the student of the sub- ject a very inadequate concept of the problem, and are unquestionably misleading. Were the public better informed of the extent of the problem the present situation would undoubt- edly be corrected." Many Suffer Needlessly While "diabetics should not die of diabetes," the -article declares, many do die needlessly. Others suffer un- necessary pains and acquire compli- cations resulting from ignorance, it adds. Lack of suitable guidance and education has led many of them to resort to drug-store "cures" and to harbor the disease or tendencies to- ward it unknowingly. Goem Legend Cited As Basis For Film (Continued from rage 1) were each credited with having cre- ated a Golem. The film concerns the huge, clay, man-like figure which Rabbi Loew of Prague brought to life to serve him, by writing the He- brew word for "truth" on its fore- head. After the Rabbi's death the Jews in the ghetto were persecuted by the crazy Emperor Rudolph II, played in the picture by the famous French actor Hurry Baur. The Golem Was revitalized by the Jews for protection, but as soon as the mechanical figure had routed the corrupt imperial court, it turned on the ghetto. It was then that the Jews reduced the Golem to dust oy ,erasing the first letter of "truth" which left the word, "death" on the brow of the monster. The Golem, Dr. Heller pointed out, is symbolic and applies with even greater force to today when man, like Dr. Fra:ikenstein, is threatened by the very machines and inventions he created. "The Golem," he said, "sym- bolizes a blind force acting without ethical and social aims; the legend has its contemporary counterpart- posed in the question 'Is man made for the machine, or is the machine made for man.'

Bradbury Tries New Hydrocarbons As A Possible Cure-All (Continued from Page 1) The obvious inference that the disease "As for exchanging the pen for the developed from chemicals or distill- ates contained in coal tar gave im- petus to investigations in laboratories the world over for the "hunted" chemical. Partial success came in 1915 when two Japanese scientists succeed- ed in producing a coal tar distillate capable, after long application, of Inducing a cancer on the ear of rab- bits. But efforts to track down the guilty cnstituent of coal tare were fruitless until the latter '20's when flourescence spectroscopy came to the rescue and revealed the characteristic spectrum bands of hydrocarbons to. be strikingly similar to those of the cancer-forming coal tar. Today meth- ylcholanthrene; 1, 2, 5, 6 dibenzan- throcene and derivatives of the two- all hydrocarbons--are known to be highly carcinogenic, or cancer induc- ing. Cancer, the scientists tell us, is a disease of the body cells. In the mul- tiplication of the normal cell there is a stopping point, a point at which cells grow no further. A piece of skin, for example, when taken from the thigh and placed in an arm abrasion, grows and keeps filling over the exposed area until its edges bump those of the surrounding skin. Then it stops. But cancer cells are out- laws who know no rules. Their multi- plication apparently has no limit and they pay no homage to the cells from which they derive their identity, hav- ing few of their original character- istics. Squashy pulp-like units, they elongate in all directons, enclosing the surrounding tissues, breaking off into carrier or lymph channels and finally setting up sub-stations in other parts of the body. If unimpeded the process continues until the organs of the body are completly shot through with diseased cells and death is a matter , days. Because cancer was already known to originate from a variety of sources -X-ray, radium, sunlight, soot and certain oils, the importance of coal tar and the hydrocarbons was at first discounted as incident only to a cer- tain type of occupational disease. Such skepticism was put to rest, how- ever, by investigators like Dr. Brad- bury who traced a mysterious connec- Mrs. Haber To Speak For Hillel Foundation Mrs. William Haber, wife of Pro- fessor' Haber of the economics de- partment, will speak on "Labor Trends" at 8 p.m. today during ser- vices at the Hillel Foundation.

"This inference was substantiated,"' Dr. Bradbury said, "by experiment. In Dilue Brown Mice(a strain inbred for 40 or 50 generations) 90 per cent of the females die from cancer of the breast and none of the males ever contracted the disease." If the females' sex organs are re-+ moved, however, he says, the percent- age of cancer incidence is negligible. When, moreover, female sex hormones are injected into males a high per- centage of the latter invariably de- velop breast cancer.
