mit written reports, information,
requests, etc, to the committee for
study.
Following the special called
meeting of Mayor and Council
late yesterday a special commit
tee composed of Councilmen
Merritt Pound, chairman, Owen
Roberts, jr. and Kenneth Guest
was appointed by Mayor Wells
to study the newly revised City
Code and make recommenda
tions as to its adoption at the
next meeting of Mayor and
Council.
The revised City Code is a
compilation of all city ordi
nances passed up-to date. It
brings up-to-date all that is law
in Athens now, and it is indexed.
J. C. McClure, president of Ath
ens City Lines, and Clyde Chand
ler, vice-president of local 1421 of
Amalgamated Association of
Street Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Operators of America spoke
to Mayor and Council last night,
each giving a summary of yester
day’s activities in connection with
the disruption of service.
They said that a letter was given
the union members on Tuesday
afternoon informing them of a 30
cents per hour reduction in pay
effective immediately, On Wed
nesday morning the union’s exe
cutive committee informed the
management that the union mem
bers (total of 27 drivers, mechan
ics and helpers) had met and voted
unanimously to strike as the re
duction was in violation of their
contract, the spokesmen told
Mayor and Council.
Resume Service
At 1:55 yesterday afternoon
service was resumed after the
company had received an order
from Mayor Wells, company and
{Mhens City Lines to resume serv
ice.
Following receipt of the order
from Mayor Wells company and
union officials met and an agree
ment was reached whereby the
drivers would go back to work for
a 15-day orbitration period at the
same pay scale before the cut was
proposed. The mayor then was
informed his order was being
obeyed.
Mayor Wells acted under ex
ecutive authority of the Mayor in
emergency situations.
In Mr. McClure's statement last
night he said when his company
purchased Athens City Lines the
local line was in bad financial con
dition, but officials had hoped that
this sfate could be corrected. How
ever, it hasn’t he said, and the
company desires relief. Mr, Mé-
Clure said operating costs, such as
gasoline and tires, cannot be cut
so the company’s only alternative
is to cut salaries.
He said several years ago when

transportation that has taxicabs
running at a 15 cents minimirm.
He suggested use of meters in lo
cal cabs.
Mr. Chandler said the union
knew something had~to be done
and the cut would probably be the
result, but didn’t know exactly
when this was coming.
Discuss Matter
He said the union and company
had been discussing the situation
for about one month. Mayor
Wells asked him if they had told
the public, or Mayor and Council,
anything about the discussions and
Mr. Chandler said no.
Mayor Wells then said he
thought they could have warned
the public about the work stop
page so that the public could make
other arrangements for transpor
tation instead of the buses going
out of operation suddenly. Mr.
Chandler said the company-union
discussions were in regard to the
financial status, but not in regard
to a strike, and that the union
didn’t decide to strike until they
met at 6:30 a. m. Wednesday. -
Also Mr. Chandler said the
union’s international office was
called and they told the local
union men not to work under the
cut wages.
J. T. Middlebrooks, owner of
Co-Op Cabs, appeared before the
group and said his company and
the Veterans Cab Co. have large
investments here and work about
100 men, and the cabs don’t wish
to lose their business; however, he
said it might be well for one per
son to own both the cabs and bus
company. ’
He said seevral years ago when
there were no buses here the cabs
furnished service and stand ready
to do it now if the buses can’t.
Mr. McClure then said that he
would like to see both services
'stay here under separate manage
ment, and he added they can if
run properly.

BLOOD TEST FOR CANCER
NOT SEEN YET BY SCIENCE
HOUSTON, Tex., May 25—The
chances that a simple, efficient
blood test will be developed in
the near future to detect cancer
in its early stages when it is most
amenable to successful treatment
were viewed dimly here Saturday
by six prominent scientists.
The six took part in a round
table discussion of the possibili~
ties during the closing session of
the fourth annual cancer research
symposium at the Shamrock Ho
tel. The symposium was conducted
by the M. D. Anderson Hospital
for Cancer Rersarch here, and
the South Central Region of the
College of American Pathologists.
The six were Dr. C. P. Rhoads,
director of the Memorial Cancer
Center in New York City; Dr.
John Dunn of Bethesda, Md., a
National Cancer Institute sur
geon; Dr. Robert Stovall, profes
sor of oncology at the University
or Kansas School of Medicine at
Kansas City, Kan.; Dr. R. Lee
Clark, jr., medical director of the
Anderson Hospital; Dr. M. G.
Westmoreland of Chicago, exeeu
tive secretary of the College of

Other Ways Predicted
The only hopeful note in the
discussion was injected by Doctor
Westmoreland who said “there is
much evidence that soon there
might be one or more satisfactory
test” for detecting hidden cancer.
Otherwise, on available data,
none of the scientists would pre
dict that such a test is in the fore~
seeable future.
Doctor Stowell said none of
four tests investigated by the Kan
sas medical school had proved sat
tisfactory because of the frequent
false results obtained.
Doctor Clark said the medical
profession *“is obviously and avid
ly working on the development of
a detection test.”
“We are now curing about 30
per cent of the cancer victims
with present treatments,” he com
mented. “If we were able to geét
to the cancer early enough, we
could cure another 20 to 30 per
cent.”
Doctor Rhoads reasoned that
there is no substitute for a careful
medical examination by a quali-
fied physician wto will investi
gate the areas where cancer fre
quently occurs.
He said that it is unlikely that
a general test for all types of can
cer — one that the man in the
street can get at a doctor’s office
or laboratory to see if he has can
cer in any part of his body—is in
sight now.
sSome Tests Pessible
However, he admitted that it is
possible te devise tests for a speci
fic type of cancer, like cancer of
the lung, or the intestines.
Doctor Dunn said the Natioffal
Cancer Institute is fostering work
on cancer blood tests in many
areas throughout the nation.
“Our records for detecting can
cer in its early stages are not too
good,” he stated. “A workable
blood test would help a great deal
in improving the cancer situation.”
Just prior to the discussion, Dr.
Emma S. Moss, associate profes
sor of pathology at Louisiana
State University school of medi
cine, described some cases where
fungus infections had been incor
rectly diagnosed as cancer,
She described fungus disease as
a universal affliction of man.
“Nearly everybody has a super
ficial fungus disease of some type,”
Doctor Moss said. “It may be just
a mild case of athlete’s foot.
“Fungus infections are so fre
quent that sometimes they are
never considered when diagnoses
are being made,” she added.
Men like a dinner menu of
calves’ liver and bacon, French
fried onion rings, mash potatoes,
and a salad of head lettuce with
blue cheese dressing. For dessert,
serve a fruit pie and coffee.
Green lima beans and thinly
sliced celery makes a good com
bination when they are cooked
and served buttered. Or they may
be cooked, drained and chilled,
then served with French dressing
on salad greens.
Scallops may be had fresh or
frozen. Bay scallops come from
shallow waters, are small in size
and delivately flavored. Deep-sea
scallops are larger and not as del
cately flavored; some cooks like
to cut those larger scallops in four
before broiling.
Good Fictional Cowboy Source .
Of Lasting Wealth—Hal Boyle
BY HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK-—(AP)—The cow=
boy industry is big business today.
And if you want to strike it
rich you no longer have to discov
er oil — just sit down and dream
up a cowboy character the kiddies
wiil go for. He'll produce more
lasting wealth than any oil well,
because a good fictional cowboy
never wears out or grows old,
For example, take “the Cisco
Kid,” who is one of the leading
rivals of Hopalong Cassidy for the
heart of American boyhood. Like
Hopalong, the Cisco Kid kegan
mildly enough and now is reach
ing epidemic proportions.
He first spurred into public view
as a minor character in a short
story in a book by O. Henry called
“Hearts of the West,” published
way back in 1907. O. Henry prob
ably got about SIOO to S3OO for the
story, and he died in 1912 without
realizing he had created a gold
mine.
Robin Hood of West
Today some $5,000,000 is inves
ted in the Cisco Kid, now bilied as
“The Robin Hood of the Golden
West.” He is heard over some 300
radio stations, he stars in six mov
ies a year, and he is also making
52 television films. Thirty kinds
of Cisco Kid merchandise, ranging
from coloring books to dungarees
and holsters, are being marketed.
“We exegect to sell $10,000,800
worth of Cisco Kid merchandise
this year,” said a business spokes
man for the mythical border Rob
in Hood. “And we feel that in 1951
it may reach $80,000,000. There
doesn’t seem to be any limit to the
interest in western characters.”
The Cisco Kid has been played
by four different film actors.
Warner Baxter won an academy
award in the role in 1931. He was
followed by Cesar Romerc and
Gilbert Roland.
The present portrayer of the
durable kid is Duncan Renaldo,
who speaks 9 languages, has 3
children of his own and is active
in the Parent-Teachers Associa
tion.
The formula of the Cisco Kid
stories is simplicity itself. He and
his comic companion, Pancho,
played by Leo Carrillo, get involv-
