Cancer victim dies despite transplant
PHILADELPHIA—(UFI)—Harry T. Griffith didn't get the "little more time" he wanted.
The 62-year-old former major league pitcher died of cancer in Chestnut Hill Hospital Monday. Death came before the end of a waiting period to determine the effect of an experimental transplant of cancer tissues with another bone cancer victim.
GRIFFITH was paired with Robert F. Allen, 29-year-old native of Tucson, Ariz., for the unusual treatment at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.
Cancerous tissue was taken from each man and was emplanted in the other's thigh. The theory was that their bodies would build up a resistance to the "foreign" matter and reject it.
WHITE blood cells from each then were exchanged in a series of blood transfusions. It was hoped the resistance of the tissue recipient's body would be transferred to the body of the tissue donor, and that the cancer would be dissipated.
The waiting period to see if the treatment would work was set by doctors at four to six weeks. Griffith returned to the hospital here on April 5 to await the outcome. But death came about three weeks later.
Allen remained at the Buffalo Cancer Research and Treatment Center for an operation in which fibers carrying pain impulses along his spinal cord were cut to alleviate pain caused by "tumor involvement in his lower back."

Police report confirms Canadian sex scandal
OTTAWA — (UPI) — A former Canadian defense chief and a blonde playgirl who once was a Soviet spy had an "illicit sexual relationship," a secret police report revealed Monday.
The report by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) was disclosed at a public judicial inquiry into Canada's "little Profumo scandal" involving former East German beauty queen Gerda Munsinger.
JOHN L. O'BRIEN, an attorney who introduced the report said Mrs. Munsinger admitted she once was a Soviet spy and later carried on "an illicit sexual relationship" with an associate defense minister in the former government of Conservative John Diefenbaker.
Federal mediator joins strike talks
Frank M. Brown, regional director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, had "no comment" on the strike situation as he began meeting with representatives of the publishing company and the striking Newspaper Guild of New York.
NEW YORK—(UPI)—A top federal mediator stepped today into deadlocked negotiations to end a strike against the World Journal Tribune that could cause the new newspaper merger to collapse.
But his appearance brightened the gloom that has surrounded the talks. Thomas J. Murphy, executive vice president of the Guild, said he was hopeful that federal mediation would help end the strike but pessimistic about the publishers' intentions.
"IM CONVINCED before I walk in that door that the publishers are not willing to settle in two or three days," he said.
The guild's 1,800 editorial and office workers went on strike

Sunday night, posting pickets outside offices of the three papers absorbed in the merger, the New York Wold-Telegram and the Sun, the New York Journal-American and the New York Herald Tribune.
The strike resulted from a dispute over the manner of choosing 904 guild members whose jobs were to be lost in the merger. The company wants the prerogative to pick and choose, while the guild wanted employees with most seniority to be retained.
New system begins on tax withholding
Dr. Leonard Axe, Department of Revenue director, announced Monday that state withholding will begin conforming with the accelerated federal system May 1.
TOPEKA —(UPI)—There will be fewer federal and state income tax refunds in Kansas next year.
Axe said it will mean that between 25,000 and 30,000 persons will not overpay their 1966 taxes and be eligible for refunds.
By adopting the new federal tax basis, Axe said, Kansas will reduce the rate of collections for 50 per cent of the taxpayers, will make moderate adjustments in withholding for another 40 per cent and will accelerate collections in the upper 10 per cent income group.
IT HAD BEEN ESTIMATED that under the old system between 450,000 and 475,000 refunds would have been necessary April 16. 1967.
The minister, at the time the report was made, in December 1960, was Pierre Sevigny of Montreal. He has said he had only a "purely social relationship" with the woman who lived in Canada from 1955 to 1961.
O'BRIEN SAID the RCMP report shows that Mrs. Munsinger, who now lives in Munich, was on a first name basis with two other members of Diefenbaker's cabinet. One was identified as former Trade and Commerce Minister George Hees. The other was referred to only as an executive assistant in the cabinet.
O'Brien said Mrs. Munsinger was arrested in West Germany in 1949, and admitted then that she did espionage work for the Soviet Union. He said she also had been imprisoned both in East and West Germany for petty thievery and prostitution.
