Of all forma of cancer, the
first to be conquered in the
foreseeable future may be leu
kemla.
White it would be most heart
teas to arouse hopaa before they
are fully Justified, there Is, nev-
ertheless, good ground for cau
tious optimism concerning the
prospect for a not-too-dlstant
conquest of leukemia.
The number of patients with
soma forma of leukemia who
have achieved complete remis
sion has risen from 80 per cent
to 90 per cent In three yeara.
Remission has been defined as
the total absence of all cancer's
symptoms and signals at least
temporarily.
There has also been a sharp
improvement In the average sur
vival time of children treated for
leukemia. Aa late as 1984, the
average survival period ranged
from a year to 19 months from
tha beginning of treatment. Yet
more than half the children who
started treatment In 1967 are
still alive. Scientists say that
quite possibly ths average sur
vival rate In patients now start
ing treatment will be between 4
and 8 yeara," he noted.
Some long-term survivors of
acute leukemia are reported to
be living and well after a long
as 17 years following diagnosis.
Another encouraging develop
ment has been the scientific
search for a link between human
leukemia and viruses. Once It
can be definitely established that
leukemia is caused by a virus,
chances are good that a proven
tlve vaccina will be discovered.
Yet, despite these successes
leukemia Is still an Incurable
disease. There will be 19,000
new victims of ths disease this
year, and 18,000 deaths.
The American Cancer Society
has always been in the forefront
of the leukemia fight. Last year
the ACS issued 61 grants totaling
more than $8 million for the bat
tie against leukemia. These
grants were directly or Indirect
ly related to lighting the disease
In one way or another. Tha ACS
program embraced everything
from a quest for a simple prac
tical test to detect leukemia be
fore It develops In the blood
stream, the search for more
effective drugs for treating the
disease and comprehensive
studies relating to radiation,
viruses and basic leukemia cell
structure and function. Thla
calls for research, more re
search, and still more research.
No one knows when leukemia
will be conquered but contribu
tions to the Cancer Crusade here
In Perquimans County will help
Immeasurably In bringing that
day closer. Remember, the slo
gan of the Society's 1969 can

Cresl Limits
On Catfish
The Wildlife Resources Com
mission Monday established
creel limits on catfish taken in
the Inland watora of the state. Al
though catfish, including bull
heads, are not classified aa
game fish species, in recent
years they have become a highly
marketable item of commerce.
Sport fishermen, however, prize
them as sport fish, and fear that
commercial fishermen who har
vest them for the market will re
duce their sport.
The Commission placed a dally
creel limit of 28 catfish per day,
and 78 in possession. The pre
scribed limits may be of a single
species or a combination of
species of catfish and bullheads,
and may be sold on the market
at the going price,
In recent yeara commercial
production of catfish has become
a rapidly-growing business in
the Midsouth with a current an
nual production of aome 75 mil
lion pounds per year, moat of
which la shipped to southern and
mldwestern markets. The 26-75
creel limit regulation doea not
apply to catflah produced com
mercially In private ponds, or
those taken in waters where corn
medal fishing regulations ap
ply. The mighty Colorado River
has taken 600 million years to
chisel the Grand Canyon's 4,000

SAM ERVIN
SAYS
WASHDCTON - Military
Justice, In spite of recent legis
lation to improve It, la in the
midst of the greatest ferment
since the end of World War II.
The Arnhelter and, Pueblo af
fairs, the Presidio Incidents In
San Francisco, and the recent
Green Beret case, whatever the
explanations may be, have cast a
pall over the quality of Justice
dispensed by the armed forces.
Part of the problem undoubted
ly arises because the military
services are undergoing their
worst trial of public confidence
in generations. Signs of this eros
ion of confidence are seen In the
widespread concern about our
war effort in Vietnam, and In the
growing rejection of government
and authority by our young peo
ple. Even so, some of the prob
lem la fueled by scandals which
reach to the highest military
levels and the unwise actions
of the services themselves.
Doubts about military Justice
come at the very time when the
system has been the subject oi
the most thorough reform In two
decades. The 1968 Military Jus
tice Act, which I helped to draft
and pilot through the Congress,
has now expanded the responsi
bilities of military counsel In
special courts-martial. It has
significantly Increased the
stature and role of the law officer
by making him a federal Judge.
Military courts have now beer
improved by transformlngthe ok
Boards of Review which review -ed
trial Judgments Into full -fledged
appellate courts. In ad
dition, the 1968 Act gives tli'.
military defendant and his coun
sel significant new protections.
These reforms, which went into
effect In late summer, demon
state a national concern for the
serviceman's right to receive a
fair trial under a first-class
system of Justice,
It should be recognized that
the quality of any system ol
Justice Is largely dependent upon
the Individuals who administer It.
As long as individuals make Judg
ments there will be the risk of
errors. To minimize this, how

ever, we should constantly strive
to Incorporate the safeguards of
"due process" of law in OUT
procedures.
In reviewing the Military Jus
tice Act of 1968, it should be
pointed out that one area of re
form was neglected last year.
This relates to administrative
separations which involve non
honorable discharges. The im
portance of this matter is that
any service discharge of a de
gree less than honorable car
ries with It a social stigma ;ln
the public mind, tor this rear
son, I have been much con
cerned about the leeway which
military authorities have -in
granting administrative dis
charges which do not Involve, a
courts-martial I believe that we
ought to enact a code of procedure
which insures that any service
man being considered for a non
honorable discharge should have
the basic protections of "due
process" of law.
On March 4th, I Introduced S.
1266, to establish such a code.
Basically, It would require 3
member administrative dis
charge boards to conduct fair
and Impartial hearings on the al
leged grounds for such a dls
cliarge, that they receive and
consider evidence bearing upon
such discharge, that they make
findings based upon the evidence,
and that they specify the reasons
for their recommendatlona as to
whether the defendant should be
'.llscharged or retained In the
armed forces,
I beUeve that my bill would fill
a gap which now exists In the
basic safeguards accorded ser
vicemen, and I am hopeful that
the studies which may begin on
this measure soon will result In
favorable Congressional action
on It.
