v
Cancer Institute to Check
Effectiveness of Krebiozen
In Fighting Cancer
WASHINGTON UD — The Na
tional Cancer Institute now has
a chance to evaluate for the first
time the effectiveness of Krebio
zen in fighting cancer.
Developers of the controversial
drug turned over to the institute
Friday the chemical formula and
data on 4,000 cases treated with
Krebiozen.
The journal of the American
Medical Assn has labeled Krebio
zen worthless as a cancer drug,
but individual physicians have
made widely varying reports.
Dr. Andrew C. Ivy of the Uni
versity of Illinois, Dr. Steven
Durovic, inventor of the drug,
and Dr. John F. Pick, Secretary of
the Krebiozen Foundation, seek
$350,00 in damages from Dr.
George D. Stoddard, former presi
dent of the University of Illinois
and now Chancellor of New York
University. Ivy charges Stod
dard’s book, “Krebiozen: The
Great Cancer Mystery,” was writ
ten with intent to destroy Ivy’s
professional prestige.
When the case was heard last
April in Chicago Judge Julius H.
Miner declared it a mistrial, rul
ing the drug’s medical value is
the center of the case and asked
for a test of it by the National
Cancer Institute.
Krebiozen is said by its de
velopers to be made from blood
serum of specially inoculated
I horses.

WASHINGTON
By Frilz Willi
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON UR — A con
siderable speedup is expected in
handling of federal court cases
I in Alaska now that the 49th State
has a second judge.
Judge Walter Hodge, the sole
federal judge since Alaska be
came a state, has now been joined
by Raymond E. Plummer, re
cently appointed by President
Kennedy and confirmed by the
Senate.
Although there are now two
judges, Alaska remains one ju
dicial district with courts at An
chorage, Fairbanks, Nome, Juneau
and Ketchikan.
The two jurists have their work
cut out for them, according to a
recent report from the Adminis
trative office of the United States
Courts.
The report shows that on June
30 this year, 207 civil and 47
criminal cases were pending in
federal court in Alaska.
Of the civil cases, 17.9 per cent
had been awaiting action fof three
or more years. Specifically, 68
had been pending less than one
year, 77 one to two years, 25 two
to three years and 37 three or
more years.
Activity on the criminal case
docket is indicated by these fig
ures: On July 1, 1960, there were
41 cases awaiting action and by
July 1, 1961, there were 47 pend
ing.
In the year’s interval, however,
action was started on 142 criminal
cases and was completed on 136.
Electric Rate Highest
Alaska has the highest average
monthly residential electric bills
in the nation at $10.75. This is 14
cents higher than the average bill
in the state in I960.
The Federal Power Commis
sion in a report on typical resi
dential electric bills for 250 kilo
watt hours said the national aver
age on Jan. 1, 1961, was $7.45.
That is up one cent from the
start of 1960. The FPC also re
ports that 10 years ago, the aver
age monthly bill was $6.95 and
that on Jan. 1, 1935, it was $8.91.
At the start of 1961, the nation’s
lowest average residential bill
was $4.74 a month in Washing
ton, compared with a $4.52 aver
age in that state on Jan. 1, 1960.
The FPC report points out that
“in presenting these typical elec
tric bills, no attempt has been
made to determine the reasonable
ness of the rates.”
The report lists the typical bills
for 250 kilowatt hours in eight
Alaska communities on Jan. 1,
1961, as follows:
Anchorage — $9.40, Anchorage
Municipal Light and Power De
partment, and $10 Cbugach Elec
tric Assn., Inc.
Chugiak - Eagle 'River — $13,
Matanuska Electric Assn., Inc.
Fairbanks — $15, Fairbanks
Municipal Utilities System, and
$17.75, Golden Valley Electric
Assn., Inc.
Juneau — $7.44-$5.75, Alaska
Electric Light & Power Co., high
er rate effective Nov. il to (May 1.
Ketchikan — $6.75, Ketchikan
Public Utilities.
Kodiak — $16, Kodiak Electric
Assn.
Sitka — $14, Sitka Public Utili
ties.
Spenard — $9.40, Anchorage

partment, and $10 Chugach Elec
tric Assn., Inc.
Nome — $23.69, Nome light &
Power Utilities.
Kotzebue — $30.75, REA.
U.S. & European Peace
Marchers Allowed to
Parade Before Kremlin
MOSCOW — American and
European peace marchers pa
raded before the Kremlin yester
day demanding disarmament and
banning of the nuclear bomb.
The 29 marchers, who had
come on foot and by bus across
America, Europe and western
Russia, walked into Red Square
at 2 p.m. The place was almost
empty.
Police had put up barriers
around the square, apparently ex
pecting a big crowd but so few
came that the police pulled away
the barriers and let the crowd
march into the square. It never
exceeded 300.
It was the first time a band of
Western marchers had ever made
their way into the Soviet Union
under such circumstances.
In Red Square they seemed un
certain what to do. Police for
bade them to speak. They had
planned to hold peace meetings in
the square as they had done in
dozens of cities and villages across
Europe and in the Soviet Union.
Instead, they passed out handbills
to everyone in the square who
would take them. Most Soviets
grabbed at them eagerly.

Old-Time Pilot
Ends 41-Year
Career of Flying
NEW YORK <*> — Capl. Dick
Merrill, one of the last of the old
time fliers, ended a 41-year
career of commercial piloting yes
terday. He isn’t giving up flying,
though.
“I’d like to fly until I’m 90,”
said the veteran pilot who once
filled his plane full of table ten
nis balls for a historic two-way
hop over the Atlantic—so it would
float if it wouldn’t fly.
“I get a terrific kick out of
it,” he added. “I can pass the
physical examination for a li
cense just as well as ever, and I
expect to spend much more time
in the air.”
At 67, the trim, erect and tan
ned Merrill has put in some 37,000
hours aloft and has flown an es
timated eight million miles.
It was in 1936 that Merrill
flew singer Harry Richman
across the Atlantic and back in
a single-engine plane loaded with
table tennis balls. He said it was
the first Aatlantic round trip by
plane.
In 1937, he made another such
hop and termed it the first com
mercial round trip. He carried
photographs of the Hindenburg
airship disaster to England, and
brought back pictures of King
George’s coronation. For that trip
he received the Harmon Trophy
from President Franklin D. Roose
velt.
Merrill, graying but with few
i marks of age in his face, ends his
official piloting career as No. 2
in seniority for Eastern Air Lines.
He and Gene Brown, who is No.
1, flew Eastern’s first plane 34
years ago. It was a mail craft.
Merrill began his long career
in 1920 barnstorming around the
country in an old World War I
Jenny he bought for about $500.
Did you know that some fish
can walk, that electric eels can
produce up to 700 volts of elec
tricity, that, despite their bulk,
elephants require only about half
as much sleep as people?
