This was reported yesterday by Charles Garland of KOOL and Al Johnson of KOY, after business sessions with Gene Autry, major KOOL stockholder, who flew to Phoenix for the discussion.

"That's about 10 times the power any other Arizona station is operating on," Johnson de clared, "and we will go on the air with full power. Both he and Garland said Autry had high hopes of obtain ing the Columbia network. Autry is due to go to New York soon to discuss CBS-TV affiliation, they said. CBS RADIO affiliates, which Include KOOL, have been told by the network that they would be given preference when they go into television, Johnson said. No plans were made concern ing how the two stations' sales staffs, prohibited by FCC from operating jointly, will co-ordinate their operations, Garland said.

( Republic Photo, Ralph Camping) Secret Sought $4,000 Grant To Aid Navajo Cancer Immunity Study Course By CLAIBORNE NUCKOLLS Why do Navajos rarely de velop cancer? What is the secret to their virtual immunity, while their white brothers seem so suscepti ble to the affliction? A search for the answers will be started on the Navajo reservation today. It is a special project of the State Department of Public Health, made possible by a $4,000 grant obtained by Dr. C. G. Sals- bury, state director of public health. The study will continue through most of this summer and will be conducted by a staff of six special researchers under Dr, Salsbury's supervision. As the years passed, Dr. Sals- bury s curiosity increased when there were so few cases of can cer among the Indians, yet so many among whites. Somewhere on the vast reser vation, he is convinced, lies the answer to the puzzle. COLXD IT BE traceable to their diet or something in it? Many times, he asked himself these and other questions, and then asked others. Last year, he laid the puzzle before officials of the U.S. Public Health Service. They became interested to the extent of setting up the special grant, a small one be sure, but still a contribu tion to science s everlasting battle to solve the riddle of can cer. The researchers now are in the heart of Navajo land, ready to begin a long and exacting search of hospital records and any available data that might bear on the puzzle. EVERYTHING they accumulate will be sent to the USPHS, there to be processed for quick reference and analysis. Dr. Salsbury left last night for Los Angeles to attend a meeting of the western branch of the American Public Health Association on the venereal disease problem. He will return tomorrow and plans shortly thereafter to go to the Navajo reservation to help get the cancer study rolling. "Somewhere up there," he says, "may lie as yet undiscovered, an important clue to cancer control." ...

Y iHil 22.95 $1,060,095 Asked For Instruction The State Board of Education announced adoption yesterday of a 31.060,095 budget for the State Depa-tment of Public Instruction for fiscal 1954-55. The budget request will be sub mitted to the 21st legislature's special session next January. The total includes a requested $854,384 for textbook purchases in that year. The legislature had appropriated S679.6S0 for text- hook purchases for the 1953-54 school year. M. L. Brooks, state superin tendent of public instruction, said this year's textbook appropriation wi?i be 53,608 short of require ments. He based this estimate on requests from schools, because of the need for replacement of worn books, and to the state s tre mendously increasing school en rollment. Other items makine up the year's proposed budget include $202,555 for vocational education, and $70,000 for the conduct of the state's vocational rehabilita tion program for the physically handicapped and disabled. The board suggested the follow ing candidates to Governor Pyle for appointment to fill an existing vacancy on the state teachers' re tirement system board: bturgeon Cromer, superintendent of Flag i,tafi schools; Robert Morrow, su perintendent of Tucson schools; and Rulor Shepherd, superintend ent of Mesa schools. The board also authorized schools to allow credits to chil dren taking musical instruction from private teachers, provided the teacher is certified by it.

Warren of charges that she took funds from deposits at First National Bank of Arizona. The 12-man jury cleared Mrs. Warren, a former teller, of all five government charges that she took $266 from March of Dimes deposits during January. Defense Attorney Douglas Clark had argued that the charges against Mrs. Warren were an outgrowth of friction among personnel at the bank. Mrs. Warren, of 314 Encanto, denied the charges when she took the stand during the last session of the three-day trial before Federal Judge Dave Ling. Robert Murlless, assistant U. S. district attorney, prosecuted for the government. Mrs. Warren, who had worked at the bank 11 years, was discharged Jan. 22.

Back in his office after a quick flight to the capital over the weekend, Mr. Pyle aid only tbat he had been summoned by the White House. The governor declined to y what prompted the trip, other than to remark that "it nti an aftermath of a suggestion I made at the recent governors' confer ence." It was just something they wanted to discuss with me, thinking my background might be helpful to them," he added. President Elsenhower "was In volved in the discussions," the governor said, as well as some of his White House assistants. Replying to reporters, Mr. Pile denied emphatically that his trip had anything to do with any federal appointments. He also indicated he thought the White House didn't want the conference si'bject disclosed. Mr. Pjie's reference to an Idea he brought up at the governors conference meant the recent briefing attended by nearly all governors.
