Mink Used In Study

Link Cancer, Virus Infection L A J O L L A , Calif. — I t m a y t u r n o u t t h a t cancer and k i d n e y disease - t w o of the great k i l l e r s - are end p r o d u c t s of s i m p l e v i r u s infections t h a t s m o l d e r f o r y e a r s before entering their final destructive stage. v Basis for these startling observations is a study involving the valuable Aleutian m i n k now u n derway here at the Scripps Clinic and Ressearch Foundation. DR. F R A N K J. D I X O N , head of the division of experimental pathology at Scripps, told a March of Dimes and Atomic E n ergy Commission meeting that the Aleutian mink, a nobleman

| of the animal kingdom, is an ideal subject for studying progressive stages of infections. He asserted also that hereditary factors apparently control the effectiveness of man's i m m u n i t y defense system against both cancer and kidney disease. Several years ago i t was discovered that m i n k suffered a kidney disease which was traced to a virus. D r . D i x o n later l e a r n ed that the virus infects cells called lymphoid plasma cells, w h i c h manufacture antibodies to fight infections. Though the infection causes lymphoid cells to produce a t r e mendous amount of antibody, the antibody is not effective against

the virus. A S T H E I N F E C T I O N smolders the antibodies combine w i t h a protein i n the animal's blood. Millions of these combinations slowly deposit i n the kidney. The result is a kidney disease called glomerulonephritis. Dr. D i x o n brought several dozen sick animals to Scripps for observation. A strange thing is happening. One animal is developing leukemia. O n l y the A l e u t i a n m i n k gets the kidney disease. This indicates a hereditary factor is required. Dr. D i x o n and D r . Robert A . Goode of the University of M i n nesota believe a similar chain of events happen to man.

NEGRO T E E T H are not inferior to white teeth, says D r . Julian W . Anderson, 36-year-old instructor i n oral surgery at Columbia U n i versity. He was backed by two other Negro dentist w h o said that i n many cases the teeth of NegToes are superior to those of whites.

A Drum Student's View Of Max Roach Article I am a subscriber to the M u hammad Speaks Newspaper, and would like to take this opportunity to commend the writer's on the wonderful job they are doing. ! I find the articles i n this paper most educational and stimulating. I would like also to comment on the article written by Max Roach. I am a d r u m student and very familiar w i t h controversial theme. (White Rape Of Jazz) I t has long been the favorite subject among jazzmen.

this music called it the music of the Negro trash, the music of colored folk's. Today the w h i t e musician claims to be the creator's and the best exponent of the music they once condemmed. He teaches at all the schools of music books we are taught from, he is an alleged authority on Jazz. I am not so bigoted or naive to realize that white musicians have made worthwhile c o n t r i b u -

tions to music, but to state that he is the creator and best exponent of jazz is absured. I personally believe that jazz in its true form is efficacious only when played by black jazzmen. Jazz in its true i o r m is a m u sical expression of and by blacks that has had the most inhuman injustice done them than any people in the world. Billy Kendal Brooklyn, N.Y.
