P:In Boston, Dr. Paul S. Henshaw, research director of the Planned Parent hood Federation of America, reported that rapid technical progress is being made in the field of fertility control. "It seems likely," said Dr. Henshaw, "that within a matter of months, or a few years at the most, pills, teas, inoculation, etc. of various forms will be available for use in a variety of ways. The prospects are that fertility-control methods to fit every need and every purse will become available. Indeed, it seems likely that sex and reproduction will in reality become effectively separated." P:Because normal liver tissue seemed sensitive to X rays, doctors hesitated to treat liver cancer with radiation, and such cases were considered hopeless. At Manhattan's Memorial Center for Cancer and Allied Diseases, 36 patients dying of cancers that had spread to their livers were given massive doses of X ray. Doctors found that the subsequent laboratory tests showed no damage to normal tissue, and 28 of the patients were relieved of pain. Liver cancer, say Memorial doctors, need no longer be considered hopeless.
