Underwater Mountains
Speckle Pacific’s Floor
SEATTLE i*> — Underwater
mountains as much as 6,270 feet
tall—tout still deeply burled in the
ocean—speckle a large area of the
Pacific’s floor once believed flat.
The discovery was disclosed
Friday by Washington State head
quarters of the United States
Coast and Geodetic survey in a
preliminary report on exploratory
work of its research ship Pioneer.
The vessel surveyed an ocean
area about 1,000 miles square, ex
tending from the innermost Aleu
tian Islands southward about
halfway to Hawaii.
Scientists on the Pioneer lo
cated 34 submarine peaks—called
seamounts. The tip of the 6,270
foot mountain, tallest of the lot,
was 11,850 feet below the sur
face of the sea.
The report said the Pioneer took
both electronic and mechanical
soundings. It spent the summer
on the project, tout the report said
it would take several ships and
several more years to do the job
properly.
Seamounts 11,000 feet high have
been located previously in the
Gulf of Alaska, north of the area
explored by the Pioneer.

Drug Wipes Out
Tumorous Cancer
' ■,.* ;
CHICAGO UPi —- Injections of
a dangerous drug and its pro
tective antidote apparently have
wiped out tumors in eight patients
with locjfilzad Cancers diagnosed
as incurable, a medical research
er has reported.
Dr. Robert D. Sullivan of New
York said Thursday the technique
was used on 52 patients with in
curable head or neck cancers.
Eight of the patients still are
apparently free of their tumors
20 months after treatment, Sulli
van told the American Academy
of Ophythalmology and Oto
laryngology.
In other patients, there was
some partial regression of tumors,
lasting from one to three months,
Sullivan said. He said even when
the tumors were widespread there
was some clinical benefit.
The most promising results were
obtained when the cancer tumors
were localized in one small area,
Sullivan added.
The technique used by Sulli
van is known as continuous in
fusion therapy. Heavy doses of a
powerful anti-cancer chemical —
methotrexate — are fed directly
into the blood stream nourishing
the cancerous area. The drug’s
antidote, called citrovorum xac- j
tor, is injected at the same time
to protect the uninfected parts
of the ibody.
Methotrexate is an anti-meta
bolite. It upsets the metabolism
of growing cells and can kill them.
The antidote is necessary to
Weaken the drug’s undesirable
action against healthy cells. The
antidote does counteract slightly
the drug’s heavy concentration at
the cancer site.

U.S. Claims Soviets
Threatening to Wreck U.N., -
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. <*> —
'Che United States says the Soviet
Union appears to be threatening
to wreck the United Nations un
less the world organization bows
to Red demands for revamping
the U.N. Secretariat.
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson,
Chief U.S. delegate to the United
Nations, made the accusation in
replying Friday to Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Zorin’s conten
tion that “if the path of non
agreed decisions is taken, this
will cause the organization to col
lapse.”
Stevenson commenting on the
statements made by Zorin at a
news conference, said, “I wish Mr.
Zorin would not threaten the
United Nations with disaster if he
does not have his own way."
The U.S. delegate declared that
In negotiations to find a tempo
rary successor to the late Dag
Hammarskjold as U.N. Secretary
General, the United States would
“resist the concept of the Troi
ka or the ideological division of
the world into three blocks."
Zorin complained in his 2Vi
hour talks with newsmen that the
U.N. Secretariat has been taken
over by one-man rule. He men
tioned no names but made it clear
that his reference was aimed at
Hammarskj old’s American Depu
ty, Andrew Cordier.
