Roosevelt Wants Congress to Curb Investment Firms
Drastic Control of Security Sales Is Object of Legislation Introduced in the Senate
PUBLICITY IS SOUGHT
Washington, March 29—(UPI)—President Rovevelt called upon congress today to restore public confidence in investment securities by correcting allegations of dollars. As soon as reading of the President's message was completed, legislation setting up drastic control of security sales by providing for full publicity of the release was introduced by Senate Majority Leader Robinson.
It was referred to the judicial committee. The interstate commerce commission will handle it in the house. The bill would set up a rigid control over the issuance of federal trade commission. All advertising, both through the printed word or by radio, are prohibited until vital information regarding the financial condition of the promoters of other securities is filed with the commission.
This information relates to capitalization, dividends, profit, funded debt assets and liabilities, the issuer's income, expenses and fixed charges during the preceding year, bonuses and capital investment.
Diclassules during the senate stock market investigation played an important part in framing the drastic new regulations. Huston Thompson, who as chairman of the federal trade commission a decade ago, frequently attacked unethical business practices, helped in drawing up the legislation.

Tainted Meat Causes Death of Two and Serious Illness of Four Others
Chicago, March 29—(UP) An im-poverished father lying near death unfolded a today grit story of how his desperate struggle to feed his 11 children killed two of them and made four others critically ill.
He summoned his brother-in-law and they took the 75-pound animal home. The children scarcely could wait until their mother cooked the
Not until doctors told him he had only a few hours to live did Joseph Frasselli, 51, reveal that poisoning of his entire family was caused by a dead pig he found in an alley and brought home. He said he meal his children had had in weeks.
- Ten days ago Frappeali related he was returning home from work thinking of an empty larder and his under-nourished children. Although he labored four days a week as a city street cleaner he had not been paid in months, and had gone without food so the girl through an alley his eyes fell on a dead pig discarded in a can behind a restaurant.
Frapassi and his wife summoned neighbors and relatives to the feast. To make sure the meat was untainted, Frapassi himself ate the liver, with the help of a dog.
For two days the family feasted, and there was happiness in the small home for the first time in weeks.
In quick succession, Dorsothy, 7, Francis, 11, Frasqueli himself and six other children became ill. Physicians said Francis and Dorothy probably would not recover and the condition of Jennie, 14, and Joseph, was critical. Police questioned Frasqueli repeatedly. He reaffirmed his belief that macaque monkeys were brains. He concurred that because he was employed he was not permitted to accept relief and that because he was not paid he could not buy food.
Last Friday January, 9, became ill. He died the next day. Frapellsi told doctors poisoning was caused by mucarinous syringe, 8; was struck and died Sunday.
Then when doctors said he was near death he told of bringing home the pig.
Cancer Is Second in Fatal Maladies, Says Dr. Horsley
Possible Causes and Three Cures Are Discussed by Convocation Speaker
RESEARCH WORK CITED
"Next to heart disease, cancer is the most deadly disease of our present decade," Dr. Shelton Honley said today at the all-University convention, "and has jumped from six place to second among fatal illnesses."
Discusses Possible Causes
Through the facilities of the estate of Dr. J. L. Porter of Paula, D. Horstley, who is from Richmond, Va., was introduced to medical and the University for lectures upon various phases of medicine and surgery. His talk in the auditorium encompassed the cause and cure of cannibalism and research work done by scientists.
Among the possible causes, Dr. Horsey discussed cases which had been caused by the X-Ray, radium, and a continual irritation. The x-ray, he said, caused an irritation which if continued for an unusual length of time will develop into a tumor and in turn a caruncle. He also said that the tissues destroyed and other cells in development to take their place will grow faster than the surrounding tissues and results in the group of cells breaking away from the control of the tissues. Dr. Horsey said, which starts an irritation of its own and cancer results.
Continuing on with the radius as another cause, Dr. Horace cited the case of the employees of a watch firm who had been using radium for make-up before being given fine camel hair brush was applied to the lips to make it pointed. A particle or particles of radium would be left on the lips. The radium by natural processes was then carried to the stomach and was later found in the jaw bone of the patient where necrosis of the bone occurred. She showed the particles of radium in the bone whence it had been carried from the stomach.
Japanese Doctor I. Iscoverer
The discovery of irritation as the cause of an ulcer in a Japanese doctor, Dr. Horsley said. The irritation was set up by applying common paving for a length of time to the ear of a rat. The rebuilding of cells and their breaking away from tissue resulted in the formation of a tumor form, following by a cancer
Dr. Horsley cited instances of cancer being caused by parasite protozoa and turned to the discussion of methods used in clinics for diagnosing cancers. She noted that no cause be treated as an individual, as it seems that no two causes are exactly alike.
Lists Cancer Cures
The second is by applying x-ray and radium in quantities to disintegrate the tumor a few cells at a time. The misstake in using x-ray and radium it seems is that the complete removal at once of the tumor is attenuated.
Having spoken about the causes and researches pertaining to cancer, the doctor listed a few cures. There are three possible cures, the true causes and cures of tumor and cancer not yet been discovered, he said. The first possible cure is the elimination of the cancer by a surgical operation.
The slow breaking away of the cells allows healthy cells to take the place of the malignant ones as they are removed. The minkish and last possible cure is a combination of the other two. One cure, while it is no more sure, he said, is the result in its flavor, for a quick and direct diagnosis and prompt attention.
At the University of Kansas at Tulane, Chancellor E. H. Lindley likened the research work in cancer to an army beseiging a city. The scientists were an army beseiging the stronghold of the cancer and would eventually take it. Dr. Horsey was accompanied upon his visit to the University by Dr. H. RWA,簿 of the School of Medicine; T. G. Orr, head of the department of surgery; and L. O. Calkins, professor of gynecology, and obliterates.
The doctor will discuss the "Cancer of the Stomach" as his final lecture to 8:15 at the Bell Memorial hospital, Kansas City.
