MILKS | MOSCOW (AP)—The new Soviet cosmic rocket will hurtle past the moon and become “the first artificial | planet and satellite of the sun,” Moscow radio reported | today. The announcement that the rocket. - was expected to go into orbit around the sun came as it soared about three-fifths of the distance to the moon, far beyond the height ever reached by a man-made object. _ The rocket will miss the moon by 3,750 to 5,000 miles, the Russians said. _ Jubilant Russians already were calling the new rocket “Lunik.” Students marched through the streets in celebration, and some fired flares.

He is also a direct man who will not stand for “probably” when he means “possibly,” and if you argue that he is a hard man, he will agree. On the matter of cancer research, Dr. Rous said, . “You read a study here, a correlation there, an hypoth- esis and a counter-charge someplace else. And then you are left unable to fit them into any instructive order. “Even from my own standpoint as a laboratory scientist, the facts on theproblem — though less random and less con- fusing — are scarcely more conclusive.” To the vitally interested, but non-scientific, observer, one question pushes itself through again and again: Does cancer research know where it is going? FORESEES CURE “Yest,” Dr. Rous said. “It is working toward a cure. But the differences of opinion amongst workers in cancer are great — and all to the good, as leading to different ateacks on the problem. “Many men of many minds, possessing Sent various knowledge, have entered the field of cancer research to find out what they can. The differences in the printed statements one reads are largely due to those differences.” In addition, Dr. Rous said, consider how young HOES cancer research is. * * * “I made a significant find in 1911 by filtering out a virus that had caused a cancer in a chicken. Today, 47 years later that chicken cancer is still kept growing in many labora- tories by one transplantation after another. But those 47 years are a very short time when you think that modern cancer research is less than 60 years old.” In these years, what have we learned? @ That animals have cancers like those of human beings. And that experiments with these animals tell much about the disease in man. @ That tissue injury always precedes cancer in man. @That what one eats, drinks, smokes and does many happen to be of a sort to bring cancer on. And if we could only avoid cnacer inducers, we might be able to avoid cancer. @ That cancer-inducers are all around us and even in- side us. @ That tumors are often harmless at first but undergo change and become more dangerous as they grow larger. MUCH YET TO LEARN “But what we kriow about cancer,” Dr. Rous said, “is nothing compared to what must be learned: “What causes those other cancers from which we have not yet been able to get viruses? We still don’t know why | most tumors grow. And even the task of isolating known viruses has been extremely difficult. “Tumors are so various that no blanket cure may be found. We must learn how to cope with each sort.” But science has learned a great lesson, Dr. Rous said, from two recent discoveries: First, of antibiotics which cure diseases that once appeared hopeless, and second, of the unexpected effects of hormones in checking tumors — sometimes for years — or even making them disappear. “These achievements have led cancer workers to ask themselves whether it’s necessary to find out the nature of cancers in order to cure them. Why should we not take a short cut and barge at the problem, trying in all sorts of ways to cure?” * * * It is this approach that is being explored now. Thou- sands of substances of all sorts are being tested in labora- tories and by drug firms throughout the civilized world — first in animals and then, if there is cure without harm, on human volunteers with incurable cancer. “The results of this attack,” Dr Rous said, “are already meee PREIS “ | | | eS ante ee Eddie Has Fun .
