Poison Murder 2 Now For Experts REGINA (CP)--Poison is rapidly Soing oie of style as a murder medium, H. Ward Smith of the Ontario AR detection laboratory said at a week-end conference here of poison experts. Dr. Smith said the last case of murder by poison Ontario occurred some 20 years Ago. Newer drugs that cause poison- "ing are largely unknown to the Jeucral public, he said. Today, as the past, 8 agents used N perpetrate murder were chiefly strychnine and rat poison. Dr. Smith also said it is prac- tically impossible for anyone to die from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

Bu estimate was made by the rations research office of the ohns Hopkins University.

By FRANK CAREY d Press Sci Reporter BOSTON (AP) -- The quest for drugs to fight malaria may have turned up some new f s for ~an- cer, a Boston scientist says. Dr. Sidney Farber of the Chil- dren's Cancer Research Founda- tion here said five experimental compounds originally produced with the idea of combatting ma- laria have yielded temporary bene- fits when given to some people suffering from "acute leukaemia and scattered other tumors." Leukaemia is a cancer of the blood. Farber said that while the bene- fits derived from the drugs were of short duration, they were suf- ficintly strong to warrant further invesigation of compounds of this general ype in connection with the battle against cancer. The doctro told about it during a press conference with science writers looking into a number of research projects being sponsored by the American Cancer PSoctety. Anti-Malaria Drugs Aid Cancer Fight He said the tip-off on the pos sible usefulness of these A malarial drugs against cancer rested in this: These particular drugs are, in a sense, bad news to certain vita- mins and other materials neces- sary for the growth of living cells. Therefore, since cancer is consid- ered to be a wild growth of cells, anything that might interfere with such wild growth would be of great importance. The doctor also told of promising =athough still temporary--treat- ment leukaemia and certain other forms of cancer with other chemical materials. He told of one victim of leu- kaemia, which once was invari- ably fatal in & matter of months, who now has been kept alive for almost five years. He still has the disease and his improvement is considered only temporary, but Dr. Farber said, "life is being prolonged, and there is always that possibility that someone may come up with an answer in time to save such people." OTTAWA (CP) -- The Canadian National Railways had record rev- enues of $696,622,451 in 1958 but barely broke even with a surplus , |of $244,017. The Surplus was termed "dis- appointingly small" in the govern- ment-owned company's annual re- port tabled in the Commons today by Transport Minister Chevrier.

By SAM DAWSON BOSTON (AP)--The man out of a job--and there are a lot more of them in the United States now than a year ago--has the bi gest personal stake today in the tion the economy is taking. To the statistician the total of the unemployed tells a lot about the business story. But to the man himself it's a lot more than just being a figure in a table. In New England thousands are out of work--some because their factory is going slow until some 'top-heavy inventories are whittled ut meny more because their textile mill has gone out of bus- iness. Merchants will tell you that in mill towns where this has hap- pened retail trade is down--though it Boi be as good as ever else- where.

"We believe that most of the opium produced for the illicit market now comes from the Med- iterranean area and the kin pin is Lucky Luciano," said Sgt.

Luciano is a Sicilian-born racketeer deported from the United States after serving nine years of a 30-to-50 year sentence on 62 charges of compulsory prostitution. Sgt.
