Harry Truman's Agriculture Secretary Charles Brannan and ex-Congressman John Carroll got approval to fight it out for the Democratic senatorial nomination in a Sept. 11 primary.

The consensus: in many types of cancer they are no better than old-fashioned X rays; in some cases they offer only slight improvement.
