Comer X-Ray Units Doing Fine Job Detecting Cancer NEW YORK—Those x-ray mo bile units on street corners do a good job of detecting suspected or active cases of pulmonary tuber culosis — but are neither efficient nor effective in detecting two other killers, lung cancer and heart di sease. This is the report from a group of distinguished physicians who specialize in medical x-ray, the Board of Chancellors of the Ameri. can College of Radiology, Chicago. They point out in the first edution of their new quarterly magazine, “Your Radiologist,” that the doctor who studies the small x-ray “mini films” from mass screenings can occasionally pick out a lung cancer or diseased heart, but only when they are in advanced stages. However, the article says, it’s usually too late for a cure. The early, small and more readily cur able cases can be overlooked on the small film, and missed — which is a worse tragedy.

Included in the same periodical is a piece about the rigid hurdles the radiologist must overcome be fore he is certified a specialist.

Norman Penderfraft, 25, was arrested Thursday morning about 10 o’clock in an alley between Massey Lumber Company and American Plumbing Supply Com pany.
