D. C. Has Basic Needs
For Fight on Cancer,
Dr. While Declares
Washington Is among the best
equipped cities in the United States
to carry on a campaign against can
cer.
That was the view «(pressed to
day by Dr. William Charles White,
one of the founders of the District
Division of the American Cancel
Society, as the organization pre
pared to receive its first official
progress report from this year's
drive for $104,000.
The residential division, headed
by Mrs. John Clifford Polger, was
scheduled to meet at 11:30 am. at
Garfield Hospital. The business
group, under Millard P. West, 'jr.
and Philip L. Gore, will report its
current nroeress at 12:30 n.ih. Mon
day at the Army and Navy Club
Dr. White, prominent for man)
years in medical circles throughout
the country, said he believed th«
public should be informed that anj
money contributed here to fight
cancer would be well spent.
Local cancer facilities, he asserted
need to be greatly expanded, but
a nucleus already exists here ot
which to build, and Washington
Is far ahead of most other cities
in that respect.
He said the city should be proud
of the work being done for the de
tection and treatment of cancer on
the Garfield Hoepital grounds bj
the Cancer Prevention Clinic and
the Warwick Memorial Clinic, un
der the direction of Dr. Calvin Τ
Klopp.
The former Is financed by tht
Cancer Society, while the Warwick
Memorial Clinic was set up undei
an endowment.
Dr. White said he thought the
Washington Metropolitan Area
should have five prevention clinics
and three for treatment, but ob
served that even if the money to
establish them were available, a
properly trained staff of doctors
and nurses could not be found at
the present time.
There is little Incentive to those
who would specialise in cancer, he
declared. He said money could
profitably be spent In establishing
fellowships to enter this field. Much
of the value of the existing clinics,
he pointed out, lies in their op
portunity to train experts in cancer.
Dr. White also praised District
Health Office George C. Ruhland
for applying to the United States
Public Health Service for assistance
in conducting a study of the city's
cancer problem.
He called Dr. Ruhland "one of
the main men in the District in try
ing to get a program for the con
trol of cancer."
He said there was co-operation
among the health agencies of the
city, both official and voluntary, in
promoting cancer control—"unlike
some cities, where they are com
peting with each other."
