City to consider grant
An application by the city for $10,000 in federal urban development money will be the subject of a public hearing at Lawrence City Commission meeting.
City commissioners hope to use the money to develop the 600 block of Massachusetts Street, according to Buford Watson, Lawrence city manager.
More than $50 million has been allocated this year by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for urban development. Watson said.
Cities across the country must compete for the money, which is distributed as Urban Development Action Grants, he said.
"We have to compete with Kansas City, Mo.," Watson said. "They want the money to build a new convention center."
HEW will determine how much of the money, if any, Lawrence will receive.
But Commissioner Marinie Arger-
singer said she was confident about
receiving most of the funds.
"Only a few cities have applied for the money," she said. "The sooner we apply for it, the better chance we have."
The commission also is scheduled to consider issuing $460,000 in industrial revenue bonds for E&E Specialties, a local paper products company.

KANAS CITY, Kan.-C.C. Cheng, a cancer researcher at the Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, Mo., will be the new director of the Mid-America Cancer Center Program, a regional cancer center with headquarters at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Cheng will replace James T. Lowman as director of the center on Nov. 1. Lowman was named dean of the School of Medicine in spring 1977 and continued as director of the MACCP while the Med Center searched for his successor.
Chaid said yesterday he planned to get acquainted with the researchers in all areas of the cancer program to determine the area of research that needed the most improvement.

THE MACC聘 sponsors cancer research programs at KU's Lawrence campus, at Kansas State University and at the Midwest Research Institute.
Cheng specialized in the drug development area of cancer research while at MRI. He said that he would have a small laboratory to continue research while at the Med Center, but that he would spend most of his time directing the research programs.
rne center employs and coordinates various technicians and researchers, which will be helpful in developing a new anticancer drug, he said.
"Through the cancer center," he said, "we can get local biochemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists and clinicians working together on a particular drug and, if we want, can push a drug through from beginning to end.
"THE ERA OF Thomas Edison is over. Nobody can do anything alone anymore. The problem of cancer is a very complicated one and it will take everyone working together to find the solution for cure and prevention."
He said this aspect of togetherness would be an asset of every area of research.

The majority of the center's $900,000 in cancer research funds comes from federal grants, according to James L. Erickson, assistant director of the MACCP. He said the main function of the center was to give the researchers a head start in their work.
"We give out certain amounts of money to certain scientists to try out an idea," Erickson said. "If he is successful, he will seek a federal grant. We are indirectly in the
