May Have New Weapon In Fight Against Cancer

(By The Associated Press)

COLUMBUS. 0.. Aug. 1_.. Radio-active cobalt, one of the new products of atomic energy research. may be making his- tory in cancer-killing at,0hio State University.

Twenty-five Ohio women with cancer of the cervix (the neck of the female uterus) have had their cases appar- ently cured or eased in one year oi treatment with cobalt 60, university hospital report- ed today.

Radiologists said the 25 cases “have been confined to those instances where no other me- thod of treatment has been available or where previous treatments have failed."

The scientists, however. are wary of claiming a sure can-

_cer cure.

They measure results in can- cer treatments in terms oi years. They warn that patients

who now seem cured through radio-active cobalt may later develop active cancers.

Mr. Pouliot Emphasizes Status Of. The Provinces At Rotary Club Luncheon

"There are some people in this country who like to uphold the Federal Government as the sup- reme authority in Canada. This is merely wishful thinking and al- together at variance with ideas of the Fathers oi Confederation. The truth of the matter is that each Provincial Government is equal in authority to the Federal Govern- ment. and when your Premier goes to Ottawa to discuss matters with the Prime Minister oi Canada. he does so as the equal of the Prime Minister," said Mr. Jean-Francois Pouliot, K.C., Liberal member of Parliament for Riviere-du-Loup, in his address to the Rotary Club of Charlottetown, yesterday.

In opening his remarks Mr. Pouliot said:—-“Ail Canadians must feel at home 1n every part of our great country, and we especially do so on thislsland of enchant- ment, where you are all endowed with the gift of hospitality to an eminent degree. You are naturally friendly and you are most kind to us. my wife, the boys, and I have been enjoying immensely the few days that we have spent with you. I thank you on behalf of the Poul- iot clan. We are sorry to leave and we will be back next summer for a longer vacation.

Gives Them Until Aug. i5 To Wind lip Affairs

(By Leonard ‘IPBCAIEIfl

BUCHAREST, Aug. 1-— (AF-ii- Romaniak Communist-led Govern- ment today gave all Roman Cath- olic welfare orders in the country until Aug. 15 to wind up their affairs.

An official announcement said Roman Catholic monks and nuns no longer are needed for welfare work, because the state now takes airs of all their former functions.

The personnel of some 15 organ- izations devoted to charity, hospi- tal and other social work among Romanian Catholics are given 15 days to decide on: ‘

1. Retire to three ciolsters and two monaste res set aside for them.

2. Entering old age homes.

3. Quitting clerical life and registering for regular jobs at. local employment burs-aux. Roman Catholic sources said

the ban woirid affect about 1.400 nuns and 100 monks, all Roman- ians except ior about 20 foreign- ers. The Nursing Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul is one of the best known organizations affected, Most religious Romanains belong to the Orthodox Church, but there are a number of Roman Catholic Churches and religious centres.

(Vatican sources said that while the Roman Catholic Church hurl no notification of the action, it came as no surprise. One source said recently that the Romanian Government aims to wipe out the Roman Catholic faith "from the ground up") .

The Government said the ban on the Roman Catholic welfare orders was decided July 29. on the basis of a report by the Ministry of Ed- ucation holding that "all obliga- tions arising from teaching, health arid" public insurance-rail,‘ ‘in ao- cordarice with the existing laws, entirely and exclusively upon the state." ~
