Page 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1975 New cancer cure? (AP) — Texas A&M and Baylor University scientists are experi menting with a new treatment for skin cancer involving exposure to a pressurized mixture of predomin antly hydrogen gas blended with oxygen. Tests have been conducted at A&M’s hyperbaric research laboratory with hairless albino mice having squamos cell carcinoma, a form of cancer. Dr. Malcolm Dole, professor of chemistry at Baylor, originated the idea for hydrogen gas treatment of skin cancer. He collaborated on the project with Dr. William Fife, A&M biology professor who has been experimenting for five years with a pressurized hydrogen- oxygen mixture as part of a new technique for deep sea diving. Fife had been conducting a prog ram with such a mixture to help di vers go deeper, stay longer and sur face faster without contracting “the bends.” Mice subjected to a hydrogen- oxygen environment for up to two weeks had their skin tumors turn black and in some cases fall off com pletely. Other tumors seemed to shrink and be in the process of being “pinched off,” the researchers re ported. These developments did not occur in two other groups of cancer ous mice, one of which was main tained in a helium-oxygen hyper baric chamber and the other kept at room temperature and pressure. No side effects were noted in any of the mice during the period of the tests. “This experiment represents, of course, just a bare beginning,” Dr. Dole said. “Future research should include a study of the permanency of the effects observed. ” Gatesville residents mad Army wants 60,000 more acres GATESVILLE (AP) — Unhappy Coryell County property owners who are threatened with losing their land were unhappier when their in vitations to a Ft. Hood meeting ar rived addressed to “owner- occupant. ” In another development, an El Paso congressman said Wednesday he has asked the Army to keep in mind Ft. Bliss at El Paso should it not get the land at Ft. Hood. The Army wants to add almost 60,000 acres to Ft. Hood. Most of the protesting Coryell County landowners probably will not attend the meetings this week, Frances Saunders, spokesman for the Our Land Our Lives organiza tion, said. She said the landowners asked that a meeting be held in Gatesville. “If they want our land, it looks like they could find out our names, ” Mrs. Saunders said. A Ft. Hood spokesman said the invitations were addressed to owners-occupants because the base did not have a complete list of the landowners involved. The spokesman said the letters inviting landowners to three sepa rate meetings were sent to the Post Office to be distributed to mail boxes in the proposed acquisition area. Ft. Hood said there would be a meeting 2 p.m. Thursday at Ft. Hood for persons who live on Gatesville Rt. 3, a 9 a. m. Friday meeting for residents of Copperas Cove Rt. 1 and a 2 p.m. Friday meeting for residents of Pearl Star Route. Lt. Gen. Robert M. Shoemaker, commander of Ft. Hood, was scheduled to attend all meetings along with members of his staff and representatives of the Army En gineers’ Fort Worth district office. Wilford W. Naman, lawyer for the landowners, said the Army is using “divide and conquer” tactics by scheduling separate meetings. About half of the 300 landowners who met Tuesday night at the Gatesville High School agreed to boycott the meetings. They said the Army was “pre sumptuous” to hold meetings at Ft. Hood when most of those affected by the proposal live in Gatesville, about 25 miles from the main post. In Washington, Rep. Richard White, D-Tex., said he bad no indi cation the Army is considering transferring units from Ft. Hood to Ft. Bliss but he asked Army Secret ary Howard Calloway in a letter to consider the El Paso post as an al ternative training site. Asked if the Army has indicated it is considering any transfers from Ft. Hood to Ft. Bliss, White said, “I wrote Callaway and said if you re looking for an alternative, use us. But I don’t have indication they are considering that. I wish they were. ” Plans for task force revealed AUSTIN (AP) — A special lives tock and dairy industry task force to push for federal meat import ag reements was announced Wednes day by Texas Agriculture Commis sioner John White. White revealed plans for the 13-member group in a speech to the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association convention. He said the group would take its prop osals to Washington in April. “The government has been up to its hips in the beef business for years,” White said. “We ve got to be realistic about the insurgence of the federal gov ernment into the livelihood of cat tlemen.” White said excessive imports of foreign beef is the major stumbling block to fast movement of U.S. meat in the market. “It has been suggested that a limit of 500 to 750 million pounds of im ports might be tolerable,” he said. “No real relief is in sight from government action against damag ing imports,” White said. “The 30 million pound reduction proposed for this year is a drop of only 2.5 per cent, about 1.1 billion pounds be fore controls will even be consi dered.” White said the federal govern ment contends that imports must be maintained so the friendly relations will continue with foreign coun tries. However, he said, 75 to 80 per cent of the nation’s imported beef is coming from Australia, which has no reciprocal trade agreement with the United States. “We must demand that the gov ernment deal with us just as fairly as they would with any other segment of the economy,” White said. “We have to make it clear that we are not the stepchildren of America, that livestock is a multibillion dollar in dustry which is a major multiplier of income in the U.S. economy.” White will act as coordinator of the task force.

Mrs. O’Hair stalked the Capitol, seeking conferences with Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, who was out of his of fice, and Gov. Dolph Briscoe. The chairman of the Senate Rules Subcommittee, Raul Longoria, D-E din burg, told Mrs. O’Hair to write him a letter and he would submit the complaint to the sub committee. Mrs. O’Hair appeared at a hear ing of the Senate Education Com mittee to protest a bill allowing teachers to set aside part of their class time for periods of silent prayer or meditation. It was then that she was asked to sign a printed oath, which states: “I do solemnly swear that the tes timony I am about to give before this committee will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” She inked out “so help me God and wrote, “according to the laws of perjury.” “This is so incredible I can’t be lieve it,” she said. After the committee chairman. Sen. Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas, an nounced that the silent prayer bill had been postponed at the request of the sponsor. Sen. Walter Meng- den, R-Houston, Mrs. O’Hair left the room. She said Mauzy told her the committee would probably vote to suspend the rule and permit herto testify, but she added: "What about principle? The prin ciple of the separation of church and state that apparently Texas hasnt heard of yet.
