End Secrecy
Says "Open Up"
Mrs. Diane Meyer, local Com
mon Cause Coordinator lor the
"Operation Open Up the Syetem”
Project, called on Congressman
tion, to end secrecy in Congress
James T. Broyhiil, a Repubiica-
when his party caucus convenes
in the first days of January.
"It is about time to iet the pu
blic in instead of locking them
out,” Mrs. Meyer said. "Secrecy
leads to unfair tavation, gives
the polluters an advantage in
side Congress and keeps the
American public from knowing:
about what is going on.” I
Prior to the Noveml' er 7th e-1
lections, local Common Cause
Coordinators throughout the j
country for "Operation Open Up|
the .System” sent questionnaires,
on congressional reform to all!
the candidates for Congress. |
When asked, "Will you vote in
your party caucus to require all
Congressional committes to vot?|
and meet in open session except j
in cases of national security and j
personal privacy, and to open all ■
sessions and votes of party cau-
s?”F.ebtSos
cuses to the public and the
press?”. Congressman Broyhiil
responded “no” to the question
of ending the practice of secrecy.
"Common Cause cal’s on Con
gressman Broyhiil to vote in the
Republican Caucus to end secrecy
now,” Mrs. Meyer said. "Closed
doors for committees are valid
only for cases involving the na
tional security and invasion of
privacy. All committe meetings,
e-specially one drafting bills af
fecting the public, should be open
so that the public can watch.”
Common Cause is a non-parti-
sian, citizens' lobby with over j
200,000 members nationally. j

State Employment Offices across
the country, and most of them
have special counselors to help
young persons find jobs. For

Do Viruses
Cause Cancer?
(First of a Series)
How do viruses cause cancer?
One way to find out would be
to study cancer viruses llhat have
certain properties under some
conditions but not under others.
Then by altering the conditions
the various properties could be
isolated and analyzed.
At the Salk Institute, in San
Diego, researchers are doing just
that. They are studying temiKua-
ture-sensitive viruses, which
make the cells they have infectcHl
behave like cancer cells at about
89 degrees but not at 102 degrees.
The work is being done with can
cer viruses tliat infeci rodents,
not humans.
A virus is in some ways an in
complete organism it has inside
of it the necos.sary information
for reproducing itself, but it d(H?s
not have the chemical machinery
for using that information. II has
genes, and an outside protein
coat, but little else.
Cells, on the other hand, have
the additional machinery as well
as genes, which is why they can
reproduce by themselves. A virus
reproduces by using a cell -it
breaks into the cell, it uses the
machinery to reproduce, and then
the new viruses break out, kill
ing the cell.
When a cancer virus infects
certain cells, however, something
different happens: it merely
stays inside, and its genes alter
the workings of the cell. In the
whole animal, this results in can
cer. In the slightly different con
ditions of a laboratory dish it re
sults in a state scientists prefer
to call "transformed.”
Researchers at The Salk Insti
tute have developed many tem
perature-sensitive strains of vi
rus, determined how many genes
they have and identified two of
these genes as being responsible
for the initiation and mainten
ance of the transformed state.
These temperature-sensitive
mutants are now being used in
many laboratories throughout the
world, and attempts are continu
ing to determine the precise me
chanism of act,on of the virus in
causing malignant transforma
tion. It is hoped that such experi
ments will cast light on the ori
gins of human cancer.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"BEHIND THE SCENES”
THE CLICK
The click between the Federal
government, state and local wise,
must cease. Homes being raise I
and torn down by and through
vast property owners, through
and by the bousing authority are
causing too much hardship not
only for the young, but ;is well
as for the elderly. Homes stand
ing empty, the demand for rental
homos has betxtme acute in our
own town. The church has got
ten into the real estate business
as well. Buying up properly
holdings and have gotten them
selves into the real estate busi
ness w.se also. Those with vast
pro|)crty holdings in house.s have
Ix'on so iidvised as not to remodel
only patch.
.'so what if many of the con-
dirmneu hou.scs are textile homes
They are a place of shelter out of
the cold. Since the federal gov
ernment assistance has come into
etieet, the officials and vast
pro|)erty liol.'lers have become
filthy rub. Why? Personal greed.
It’s time some oni* put their foot
down, and wake up!
Those in authority arc really
/ess concerned atxnit those around
and jibout them. The main con-
C(;rn is itersonal greed.
Respectfully,
EVERETTE H. PEARSON.
