Australia—During their stay in
IN ADDITION, 12,000 pre-malignant conditions were discovered and 40,000 others had conditions requiring medical care and were referred to their family physicians for treatment.
Cancer Clinic Finds Many New Cases
Despite this service to patients who have come to New York from 36 states and 17 countries, the Strang Clinic came within a whisker of closing last year. However, physicians in private practice and agencies concerned with the cancer problem joined Strang patients in voicing their conviction that the clinic's operation must continue. Finally, a grant of $250,000 from the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund guaranteed its continuance.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The Strang Clinic of New York City, which has developed one of the most comprehensive physical examinations on record, reported recently that since its inception it had examined 110,000 persons who had one thing in common—they all thought they were in perfect health.
More than 1,500 of them were found to have some form of cancer.
ESTABLISHED AT MEMORIAL Hospital in New York in 1940, the Kate Depew Strang Cancer Prevention Clinic was the second such clinic in the United States. After 10 years, Strang became the nation's leading non-profit detection and diagnostic clinic for the periodic examination of apparently well adults
The grant that led to continuance of the clinic was realized when supporters protested that loss of Strang would cut the city's clinic facilities for cancer detection by almost 50 per cent.
The clinic has pioneered in use of modern technological developments. It has installed the most modern X-ray equipment for soft tissue studies and, in the administrative area, a 24-unit (Dictaphone) dictating system.
STRANG NOW is widening its horizons by acquiring the building on East 34th Street, where it is located and launching a $2.5 million development fund drive.
COLUMBIA, S.C. —(UPI)—Gov. Donald Russell says he would like to nominate Georgia's veteran Sen. Richard B. Russell for President Johnson's running mate.
Russell Suggested For No.2 Position
The latter enables doctors to dictate instantaneous reports on patients while the data is fresh in mind. With this system, eight central transcribers convert 15-minute plastic records into typed files on each patient. "Now our doctors spend their time where it counts—with the patients," a Strang Clinic spokesman said.
"I would consider it a great honor for this state to nominate Sen. Russell," the South Carolina governor said at a news conference.
The governor heads South Carolina's delegates to the Democratic national convention in Atlantic City, N.J., next month.
He indicated such a meeting would take place before the convention.
"I don't think there's anybody in federal government with the back-ground of experience and character that could excel Sen. Russell," he said.
Asked if he would make the nomination, Gov. Russell said he would have to confer with the Georgia senator.
The governor listed Sen. Russell's experience on armed forces, appropriations, atomic energy and agriculture committees as qualifications for the vice-presidency.
Australia the KU Brass Choir visited five major cities and toured the width of the vast continent while entertaining and soaking up local culture.
The group visited Perth, Sydney, Wagga Wagga, Canberra, the capital, and Melbourne.
They also gave concerts at the University of Western Australia at Perth, University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales. Al Lowry, Winfield senior, and Mike Berger, Springfield, Mo., junior, members of the choir, said the University of Western Australia was "the most beautiful campus, next to KU." "It was more beautiful than the botanical gardens we visited in Ceylon," they said.
The choir stayed in Australia for 17 days. When it first arrived none of the members had seen a store for a month, and they spent a good part of the time shopping. They usually ate in native restaurants and ate local dishes.
WHILE TOURING the country the choir performed at many University chapels.
THE USUAL MODE of transportation for the group was plane and bus. They traveled across the continent several times.
Possibly one of the strangest experiences of the trip was eating kangaroo tail soup and then discovering, as in an elephant joke, that the natives go out at night and see the kangaroos by their red eyes and then shoot them in the eyes.
Wagga Wagga, the sister city of Leavenworth, gave the choir a chance to observe the Australian mountains, deserts and hills.
There was snow on the ground when they arrived in the country, since it was winter. Many of them slept under kangaroo blankets in order to keep warm.
On their visit to Perth the choir discovered it was a beautiful, modern city, with no slums and many landscaped yards.
One of the most beautiful things about Australia was that it had "the best beer in the world-8 per cent," according to several of the members.
ON THE WAY BACK to Kansas the choir stopped at the Fiji Islands, Honolulu and Los Angeles. Lowry said, "Australia was just like home. I liked it very much."
While in the country the members became acquainted with members of the Western Australia Symphonic Brass and Australian Symphony.
LONDON—(UPI)—An hour-long color film based on Sir Winston Churchill's book, "Painting as a Pastime," will be produced in England and premiered on NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame on the British statesman's 90th birthday Nov. 30.
The agreement between Churchill and the film's producer, Jack D. Le Vien, also provides that the film be televised the same day in the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and other nations. It is being produced for international television and motion picture distribution and also will be made available to schools and colleges throughout the world through its American television sponsor, Hallmark Cards, Inc., of Kansas City.
One member said that "the only kaola bear and kangaroos we saw were in the zoo."
Hallmark Sets Churchill Film
Joyce C. Hall, president of Hallmark Cards and a longtime friend of Churehill, is in London to make arrangements for United States and Canadian television rights.
Hall announced that as an added tribute a Churchill memorabilia exhibit will be presented this fall in New York at the newly opened Hallmark Gallery on Fifth Avenue. Examples of Churchill's paintings, photos, recordings, and possibly films will be included in the exhibit.
U.S. Graduate Students Examine Tasks Of Asia in Program at Hawaii Center
HONOLULU—Asia's vast, exciting struggles with the old and the new are being explored on-the-spot by American graduate students in a unique program sponsored by the East-West Center in Hawaii.
of urbanization, especially on local political structures.
"When you're on field study, you are more than an observer or someone passing through. You find yourself taking a part in their way of life, and you learn to see them in their own context."
- Rebecca Stewart, music student from Crow's Landing, Calif., who studied some of the world's oldest and proudest music traditions at institutions in India, Republic of China and Japan.
The center's field study is probably the high-point feature of one of the most outstanding scholarships in Asian-Pacific affairs offered to young American scholars. Commented one center student from Boise, Idaho, who plans to return to Asia on his own for further studies:
- Harry Nimmo from Monroe, Iowa, who lived with one of the tribes of the remote Sulu archipelago of the Philippines to gather vital data for his anthropological project.
CONSIDER THESE other recent examples:
- Joseph Pulkrabek, political science major from Austin, Tex., who went to the rural areas of Thailand and Malaya to investigate the effects
- Elizabeth Dodds, interchange teacher from Glens Falls, N.Y., who is currently on study tour of schools in northern Japan and Tokyo with 15 other American high school teachers.
ice, teaching or other posts in Asian-Pacific affairs.
THE EAST-WEST CENTER, now in its fourth year, is a national institution established by Congress in cooperation with the University of Hawaii. The student program seeks to promote international understanding, as well as to offer Americans training for government serv-
For example, one recent center scholarship student plans to serve as a foreign student adviser at an American university. Another "alumnus" is now with the U.S. Foreign Service as vice-consul in Hokkaido, Japan.
Typically, the American student on a center scholarship is a master's degree candidate in a field related to Asia and the Pacific basin. He also studies one of the nine Asian languages offered by the University of Hawaii (Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Tagalog, Thai and Sanskrit).
EXCEPT FOR FIELD research in Asia, studies are primarily at the University of Hawaii.
These scholarships are administered by the East-West Center's Institute for Student Interchange. Awards are generally for 21 months and are valued up to $9,000.
