...growing tissues, healthy as well as diseased. (These techniques do not work when the disease is advanced and widespread.) But many authorities have held that chemicals, too, would prove hazardous. Sloan-Kettering's preliminary findings with rats and mice suggest that the hazard may be overcome, but the crucial test is still to come-the testing of these and other compounds on transplanted human cancers in rats and mice (TIME, April 20, 1953). The results so far, said the institute's director, Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, "justify the hope that further study may reveal compounds capable of achieving permanent...
...basic farm-crop prices (the House Agriculture Committee had already voted 21-8 for the same policy), Republican Bowring rose on the Senate floor to make her maiden speech. She knew that freshman Senators are supposed to be quiet, she said, but "I feel that the hour is crucial, and that the circumstances demand that I make my position known." Her position: the congressional committee majorities were dead wrong; the flexible price-support plan backed by Secretary of Agriculture Benson and President Eisenhower "will best serve the future of the nation and its agriculture...
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was as cross and jumpy as a baited bear and as busy as a bee at twilight. Reason: Der Alte (the Old One), as West Germans call their indomitable leader, was afraid his C.D.U.

For the next few seconds, the president rustled through the pages, finally came to a stop somewhere in the middle. Then, after some intensive reading, he handed the paper back. "Thanks a lot," said he, as he vanished out the door. "I just wanted to see how things were going with Smilin' Jack...
Signature on Paper. Recto's recommendations and. attitudes resemble in many ways those of India's Nehru-or at any rate come to about the same end. Recto currently opposes U.S.-and Magsaysay-policy on such crucial questions as the status of U.S. bases in the Philippines, trade terms, mutual security arrangements. One day not long ago, he enraged an American at a Lions Club meeting in Manila. The American asked if he simply refuses to trust the word of the U.S. He would trust the U.S., Recto answered, only if he had its signature on paper...
