SURPRISING WHAT ALWAYS HATCHES OUT
THE BESS GIFT TO CANCER
OUBLIC CONCERN OVER CANCER has created a
■l vast, organized effort in our nation to control the
disease. Anti-cancer activity is the full-time interest
of many thousands of scientists, physicians, nurses,
technicians, educators. Anti-cancer activity is also the
part-time concern of millions of other Americans
who, as volunteers of the American Cancer Society,
provide the inspiration and leadership for the cancer
control movement.
During Cancer Control Month, American Cancer
Society volunteers take responsibility for raising the
funds which make hope of triumph over cancer real
and inevitable. These are the same men and women
who are now carrying out the massive Cancer Pre
vention Study recently launched by the American
Cancer Society. Here, in just one of the Society’s
many life-saving programs, volunteers are contribut
ing services that would cost some $50,000,000 to buy.
There is no doubt that the total value of these
voluntary labors on behalf of cancer control would
amount to millions of dollars annually. And, of course,
the goal of this effort is priceless.
Last year, the American Cancer Society raised
some $31,000,000 to support nationwide programs of
research, education and service. Yet the two million
American Cancer Society volunteers who helped raise
these funds and performed other tasks in the Society’s
program, rendered services worth many times more
than $31,000,000.
The point we are trying to make is that the best,
the most generous gift you can make to the American
Cancer Society’s 1960 Cancer Crusade is YOURSELF.
YOU are the American Cancer Society. YOU serve on
its local, state and national boards of directors. YOU
create its nrograms and policies, and YOU carry them
out. .
Become a volunteer of the American Cancer So
ciety. Join the fight against cancer. There is no finer
service you can render to yourself, your family and
your fellow man. __

Mexico Chooses
Sides \\ itli Cuba
By JACK RUTLEDGE
MEXICO CITY, UPl — A close
friend of President Adolfo Lopez
Mateos says Mexico must provide
Cuba with oil to cope with what
he calls “a social and human cat
astrophe.”
Senate Leader Manuel Moreno
I Sanchez told newsmen Friday
night Cuba is facing “a social and
human crisis” and that Mexico
could not remain indifferent.
“It is not a matter of trade,”
the senator said. “Mexico does
not have an oil surplus. But Cuba
| is facing a need for a funda
mental element vital to its sur
vival.
“It is a time of crisis. It is not
political. It is entirely a social
and human catastrophe.”
His statement came despite gen
erally unfavorable reaction to an
earlier assertion by Deputy Emilio
Sanchez Piedra that Mexico must
side with Cuba in its clash with
the United States.
Piedras, government spokesman
in Congress, was criticized by
conservatives and other opposi
tion parties.
President Lopez Mateos has re
mained silent in the controversy
which is blowing up in Mexico
over Cuba-U.S. relations.
There was some thought that
perhaps Piedras may have been
somewhat out of step with his
government in making the speech.
Both Mexicans and outsiders
were equally confused by the re
marks that Mexico apparently
supports Cuba in its dispute with
the United States.

LOS ANGELES, l^t—James A.
Farley, veteran Democratic war
horse of the Roosevelt era, offers
this definition of a “rigged con
vention”:
“A political convention is al
ways rigged when the other fel
lows are in control and it is open
when your delegates are in con
trol.”
LOS ANGELES, !* — Mayor |
Norris Poulson of Los Angeles got
quite a laugh at a prc-Democratic
convention civic luncheon when he
was introduced as “a man who
always gives visiting dignitaries
a warm welcome.”
The reference was to Poulson’s
now famous “We will bury you”
comment that infuriated Soviet
Premier Khrushchev during the
Russian leader’s visit.
LOS ANGELES, l^—More than i
60 pounds of typed and dupli-1
cated material—containing an es
timated quarter of a million
words — were laid before the
Democratic platform committee.
This was in addition to a much
larger amount supplied by an es
timated 900 groups which appear
ed before regional meetings ear
lier.
Platform hearings ended Friday
night.

Eisenhower Warns Khriishehe>
Keep Out of Western Hemisphere
NEWPORT, R.I., UP —President
Eisenhower warned Soviet Pre
mier Khrushchev Saturday the
United States will not tolerate
establishment of a regime in Cuba
dominated by International Com
munism.
The President hit back at the
Kremlin leader a few hours after
Khrushchev had pledged full sup
port to the Castro regime in Cuba.
Khrushchev declared at the
same time that the Soviet Union
now has rocket power capable of
hitting America's heartland “if
the Pentagon dare start an inter
vention” in Cuba.
The vacationing President con
ferred by telephone several times
with Secretary of State Herter,
who was in Washington, and then
issued a sharply - worded state
ment.
It said:
“ . . . The statement of the
Soviet Premier reflects the ef
forts of an outside nation and of
International Communism to in
tervene in the affairs of the West

ern hemisphere.
"There is irony in Mr. Khrush
chev's portrayal of the Soviet
Union as the protector of inde
pendence of an American nation
when viewed against the history
of enslavement of countless other
peoples by Soviet imperialism.
"I affirm in the most emphatic
terms that the United States will
not be deterred from its respon
sibilities by the threats Mr.
Khrushchev is making. Nor will
the United States, in conformity
with its treaty obligations, permit
the establishment of a regime
dominated by International Com
munism in the Western Hemi
spere.”
