Cooperating in the Ohio pen trials are Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute and Ohio State University's College of Medicine. Their researchers will inject cancer cells just under the skin (not into the bloodstream) of a volunteer's forearms. After two weeks, they will cut out one injection site (leaving a hairline wound about half an inch long). The second will be left and studied. It is expected that if there is any growth, it will be only at the injection site, and it will be cut out as soon as detected...
Last week Dr. Ernest L. Wynder of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute and the University of Toronto's Dr. George Wright told fellow experts in Atlantic City that they had separated the tar (by machine-smoking tons of cigarettes) into acid, alkaline and neutral portions. These were subdivided again until the researchers found the active cancer-causing fraction. It proved to be in the neutral portion. Isolated and applied to mice in the laboratory, it produced many cancers. Although it constitutes only 1½% of the tar, the dangerous material contains many different chemical compounds, including a number...
...Dallas this week, an encouraging advance on the drug front was jointly announced by Sloan-Kettering, the Mellon Institute and Parke, Davis & Co. Their newest drug: "D.O.N." (for 6-diazo-s-oxo-l-norleucine), which effectively inhibits the formation of nucleic acid in mouse cancer cells, but causes negligible harm to healthy cells...
...tall, austere Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr. was long since Mr. General Motors. President from 1923 to 1937, chief executive officer from 1923 to 1946, board chairman since 1937, he was the major factor in making G.M. the world's greatest industrial corporation, increased its share of U.S. automotive output from 12% when he took over to 50% today. Last week Alfred Sloan, management genius, stepped out as chairman of the board of General Motors...
Into his place, in as automatic a move as a G.M. gearshift, stepped Albert Bradley, a man little known but easy to know. Bright, twinkling-eyed Al Bradley is a contrast to his great predecessor and good friend. Sloan, a graven-faced Connecticut Yankee, practiced prohibition for years, wears a stickpin, dresses with a flourish, disdains tobacco and sniffs at sports. Bradley is a roly-poly (5 ft. 6 in., 160 Ibs.) Briton who arrived in the U.S. at the age of seven, a casual dresser who often appears in mismatched pants and coat, a keen southpaw golfer...
