Texans Hail Tidelands
• *
Decision Favoring States
brought by Emery C. Blackwell
and others against Lloyd M. Bent-
sen Sr., Elmer C. Bentaen Mid
Bentsen Development Co., de-
WASHINGTON (AP) — Texans
in Washington and at home hailed I
a decision of the U.S. Supreme
Court which Sen. Price Daniel
said “decides (or all time the tide-
lands controversy” in favor of the
state. •
"the majority opinion," Daniel
said yesterday, . . once and for
all decides the tidelands contro-
versy in favor of Texas and our
public school ftutd.”
The court’s decision said Ala-
bama and Rhode Island may not
file suits challenging Congress’
1953 act conceding that the coastal
states own the off-shore lands
along their borders.
The court said there is do limit
to the power of Congress to dis-
pose of public lands. Arkansas still
has a suit pending in a lower
court.
Opinion On Merits
“It should be noted.” Daniel
said, “that the court’s opinion was
on the merits and clearly upholds
the constitutionality of the quit-
claim bill which Congress passed
last year.”
In Austin, State Atty. Gen. John
Ben Shepperd exclaimed. “It’S
wonderful!” when told of the
court's decision.
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, Sen-
ate Democratic leader from Texas,
said: “I hope this ends discussion
of the issue, and that we can now
go ahead with the needed develop-
ment of the submerged lands—a
development that could be vital to
our nation's defense.”
Five Other Actions
In other actions yesterday af-
fecting Texas:
1. The court will not rule on a
question whether the Federal Se-
curities Act permits a group of
Texans to sue Texas sellers of
citrus land development In the Rio
Grande Valley. The land buyers
charged the development was
falsely represented. The suit was
Bentsen Development
velopers of the citrus project In
Hidalgo County. The court said
only: “The argument having de-
veloped the undesirability of de-
ciding the questions in this case on
the pleadings,” the ease fs dis-
missed. The court did not Indicate
why it found it undesirable to de-
cide the caae.
2. A special master has recom-
mended dismissal of a Texas com-
plaint charging New Mexico vio-
lated an agreement on use of wa-
ters of the Rio Grande. St. Louis
Atty. John R. Green made the
recommendation. He was appoint-
ed by the Supreme Court Dec. 22.
1952, to study the Texas complaint
and suggest what should be done
about it.
Denies State Reqneet
3. The court denied a Texas
request that it reconsider a deci-
sion holding invalid a Texas tax
on natural gas shipped by pipe line
companies to consumers in 38 oth-
er states. The court ruled Feb. 8
the tax was an unconstitutional
burden on the free flow of com-
merce between the states.
4. The court refused to review
the trial of Charles Edward Hauck
Klinedinst, who it under a death
sentence in Texas for raping a 12
year-old girl. Klinedinst was con-
victed of twice raping the girl,
with the help of his common-law
wife, near White Rock Lake in
Dallas.
5. The court refused to review
a decision, made by the Texas Su-
preme Court, that the Korean
conflict was ■ war. The widow of
Lt. Col. Benjamin Earle Meadows,
who was killed in an accident in
Alaska on Aug. 28, 1951. had
sought to collect $5,000 from West-
ern Reserve Life Insurance Co.
under a policy which said benefits
would not be paid if the insured
person was in the armed services
“in time of war” when the acci-
dent occurred. The Texas Court
had ruled that "it is clear that
there was war, in fact, in Korea”
when the colonel was killed in
Alaska, and Mrs. Meadows could
not collect

Spring-Like Texas
Weather Returning
By ASSOCIATED PUSS
With less than a week of winter
left, temperatures reached for
spring-time levels Tuesday in
Texas.
Pre-dawn temperatures missed
the freezing mark for the first
time in three days with 33 degrees
at Lufkin, in East Texas’ piney
woods, and at Amarillo, in the
Panhandle, the coldest.
Only high, thin clouds--general
over the state—veiled the aky but
there was likelihood of more
blowing dust in the dry western
section before the day was over.
No rain fell Monday or during
the first several hours of Tuesday,
but forecasts called light pre-
cipitation across the state Tuesday
night and Wednesday.

Peace of Mind May Prove Best Defease
Against Cancer, Researchers Believe
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE ,
AP Science Reporter
HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 13 (AP)
—A happy, calm mind may be a
good defense against cancer..
So far there is a little evidence
that being serene emotionally can
slow down the growth of cancers.
Studies under way here are going
even further to learn if thp ability
to handle the stresses of life easily
could prevent cancers from devel-
oping.
There Is a tie-up between some
kinds of cancers and the body’s
output of hormones. Certain hor-
mones make some cancers grow
(aster. And many kinds of stress,
from worry to fear, anger, frus-
tration, excitement, can stimulate
the output of hormones.

capable of shooting a tiny stream
of liquid with such speed that lt
can penetrate four inches of flesh.
The University of California at
Los Angeles disclosed yesterday
that the device may someday be
used to shoot medicine into in-
ternal organs and tumors.
Liquid is propelled from a steel

In Gaming Joint Raid
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It
was one of those “floating” dice
games—known to the cops but
harder to stop than the Income tax
collector.
So, yesterday. Police Inspector
Frank Ahern and his vice squad
borrowed a pie delivery truck.
They drove to the vacant lot where
the dice were in action and piled
out of the pie wagon before the
] game’s lookouts could holler
"such crust."
Seventeen men were arrested
and $1,100 seized.

Master of 'Quick, Quiet

HARRISBURG. Pe. (AP) —
Pennsylvania’s Pardon Board will
be asked to consider the pardon
plee of Yank Levy, master of the
“quick, quiet kill." who enee
taught American Gls the niceties
of guerrilla warfare.
Levy became best known in the
early 1940s as a former soldier of
fortune—he fought in Palestine,
Transjordan, Mexico. Nicaragua
and Spain—and as an active in-
structor In guerrilla tactics for
both the British government and
the United States. A book he wrote
still is considered one of the best
published manuels on the subject.
This is Levy's story as it comet
from the Jewish Committee for
Personal Service in Los Angeles
and Philadelphia's Jewish Family
Service:
He it now confined to a ^os An-
geles hospital, suffering from arth-
ritis. A social worker’s report stat-
ed his principal aim in life la a

arrested five men and a woman
on charges they were responsible
for a series of holdups. The au

Toothpaste Claims Debunked

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
President of the American Dental

group has found no acceptable
evidence that any toothpaste now
on the market has any special
value in preventing tooth decay.

buque, Iowa, the president, also
declared the dental profession is

Levy and the other* were
brought to trial. He was convicted
and was sentenced to a 25-to-50
year sentence. He served six years
and then was deported to his na-
tive Canada. From there he moved
on to Spain and the life of a guer-
rilla.
On the strength of his record,
the British hired him to teach his
art to member* of the Home
Guard. Then, the U.S. used him as
its first instructor at a school for
guerrillo warfare.
After World War II. he con-
tracted arthritis. His savings from
his book and lecture tours dwind-
led because of his mounting medi-
cal expenses. That was his status

for Cancer Research of the Uni-
versity of Texas by Dr*. Beatrix
Cobb and Jack Wheeler, psychol
ogista of the Department of
Psychosomatic Medicine, and Dr.
Jack. Trunnell, head of Exper-
imental Medicine.
A first step concerns men with
cancer of the prostate gland. This
gland produces a chemical, an en-
zyme known a* acid phosphatase,
which is a pretty good barometer
of how active the cancer ia. More
enzyme get* into the bloodstream
when the cancer ia growing active-
ly; less when the cancer is quiet
or under control.
The medical team sometimes
finds a sharp drop in the enzyme
when men with this cancer enter
the hospital for treatment. The
mere fact of being in the hospital
makes the cancer grow slower.
Why does this peculiar thing
happen? A reason could be a
change in mental outlook, more
peace of mind. The man may no
longer be worrying about wheth-
er to seek treatment, or may have
overcome his fear of surgery, or
is avoiding stress because now the
hospital, not himself, is responsi-
ble for decisions.
If that’s true, then any new
stress or worry should increase
the enzyme in his blood, meaning
his cancer was growing again.
To test this, Drt. Cobb and
Wheeler are trying to create psy-
chological stresses. In one experi-
ment. a man was made to feel
frustrated, angry at himself. There
was a sharp increase in the tell-
tale enzyme during three day* of
the test, then it dropped when his
problem was solved. But the in-
crease had appeared a day before
the test began, and so could be co-
incidence.
More persons will be tested to
see if stress affects the growth
of cancers of the prostate, the
breast, thyroid, and melanomas or
black cancers.
Stimulate Growth
It’s known that male sex hor-
mones can make prostate cancer
grow faster. A treatment is to re-
move the male/ sex glands, and
give female sex hormone. This
often slows cancer growth, or
brings the cancer under ‘control.
Similarly, female sex hormone
stimulates the growth of some
breast cancers In women. So
women’s ovaries are removed, or
they are given male sex hormone.
The sex and adrenal glands are
controlled by the pituitary. It re-
acts to your emotions, what your
eyes see, to cold or heat, or to
thoughts—worry, fear, happiness,
! stimulation.
Thus fears or worries could
! stimulate production of sex hor-
j mones. Certain stresses or emo-
tions could feed more male sex
hormone to a prostate cancer, and
be just as bad as giving the mail
! an injection of male hormone.
Dr. Trunnel says.
A man’s stresses or hit reactions
| to it could explain why some men
i die in a short time of prostate
I cancer, while others live for many
1 years.
Seek Mental Peace
If peace of mind and avoidance
of stress really help against can-
cer growth, patients could be ad-
vised on cultivating peace Of mind,
much as heart patients sre ad-
vised to avoid excitements.
This possibility ia supported by
a recent report of a team of Cali-
fornia physicians, who found that
emotions have a small but defi-
nite effect on the speed of can-
cer growths. Thera was a slight
advantage in favor of people with
happy-go-lucky dispositions.
Drs. Cobb and Wheeler also are
starting to take emotional histories
of cancer patients. They're curi-
ous whether persons who are easi-
ly upset or whose bodies always
over-react glandularly to stresses
are more likely to get cancers
than the calm, better-controlled
personalities.
If there is a difference, then
psychological treatments early in
life might offer a method of de-
creasing the likelihoo
