Quick-thinking Tsosie, disregarding his own safety, grappled with another boy whose clothes were on fire, threw him to the sandy ground, rolled him in the sand and threw handfuls JAMES TSOSIE of sand on the flames until they were extinguished.

Nelson 0. Yazzie, 13, another dormitory resident, was the boy saved by Tsosie. He received severe but not critical burns. Given first aid at the dormitory, and emergency treatment at Flagstaff hospital, he was later hospitalized at the Tuba City hospital, where he is reported in good condition. The incident occurred at 2:45 p.m.

SINCLAIR heart of his tribe's virtual imhunity to cancer. Dr. Willis R. Brewer, dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arizona, and Dr.

Mary E. Caldwell, professor emeritus of bacteriology, were fascinated and skeptical. "Certainly the cancer rate of the Navajos is remarkably low," Dr. Brewer said. And if tribal medicine men knew of secret herbs that prevent or cancer, white scientists hadn't able to find them.

The thin object, as it turned out, wasn't the heart of anything. Instead, it was the liver of a -useless in the battle against cancer Dr. Caldwell wasn't surprised. Special Report Since 1956 she has been making extracts of southwestern and Mexican plants seeking substances that might prove useful in the treatment of cancer. So far she has produced more than 3,000 extracts from 1,200 species of flora.

About one per cent of the plants have properties that warrant further investigation. Dozens of herbs reportedly used by the Navajos and other Indian tribes of the southwest for the treatment or prevention of cancer and other diseases have been tested. None has offered any promise. For years Yerba del Manza a plant that grows in profusion along irrigation, ditch bankshas been described in whispers as a certain cure for cancer. Letters have come into the Arizona laboratory from Europe land other parts of the world begging for the magic extracts from Yerba del Manza.

Possibly the Pima Indians know what they are doing when they use the plant to treat children's colic, but it is useless in the battle against cancer. "It is not even among the one per cent of the plants that indicated further study is justified," Dr. Brewer said. "'The unfounded rumors about the magical qualities are distressling. There is no such cure." Dr.

Caldwell is a slight, grayhaired woman who came out of retirement to sprearhead the plant research in 1956. Her husband, who had headed the Arizoology department, had died from lung cancer a time before.

In some instances people pay their first half and fail to pay the second half, Mrs. Stacy said. The The Lowell Observatory here today announced that possibly volcanic in nature were observed here this the Moon.

The sightings were made by two selenographers of ronautical Chart and Information Center (ACIC) working tracted to the strange disturbances by their distinctive ally colorless surface of the Moon. Dr. John Hall, Lowell's director, said that the report probably create quite a stir in the scientific community." The apparent eruptions were observed over a period night (Oct. 29) by cartographerobservers James Greenacre Edward Barr of the ACIC's Lunar Observation Office through Lowell's 24-inch refracting telescope which the ACIC has been using for two years to map the Moon. The trio of disturbances were all located in the vicinity of the lunar crater Aristarchus, in the Moon's northwest quadrant.

They were, Greenacre and Barr say, "all a light ruby red SUN Exclusive in color." Each was approximately two miles in diameter. The three areas formed an oblique triangle in the Aristarchus region with two of them about 16 miles apart and the third some 40 miles away from the other two at what would be the apex of the triangle and almost on the rim of Aristarchus crater itself. Aristarchus is a medium-sized lunar crater, located above. the so-called Oceanus Procellarium (Ocean of Storms) and what on earth would be west of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains), two major flat dark areas of the visible lunar surface. Vulcanism on the Moon has long been a subject of scientific controversy, with only three instances of suspected volcanic activity having been reported in the past decade, including a spectographic observation by the Russian astronomer, Kozyrev.

Two of these earlier involved the Aristarchus region, but these have not been generally accepted as valid by the concensus of world astronomical opinion. Kosyrev's observation, made in the fall of 1959, involved the Alphonsus region, which is just below dead center of the full Moon's face, and is considered valid by some astronomers while being questioned by others. Greenacre and Barr sighted the apparent eruptions at 6:50 p.m. Tuesday (MST) and kept them under observation until 7:10 p.m. when the disturbances subsided.

At the time, the pair engaged in visual observations in connection with the continuing mission here to. make highly detailed maps of the moon for eventual use by (Continued on Page Two) Both Winslow Men Fathers of Two Children Two Found Dead in Plane By PAUL SWEITZER and DORILA MARTING Col.

John G. Eriksen, the news commander of the U.S.

Air Force's Aeronautical Chart and Information Center which is currently mapping the moon at Lowell Observatory here, made a brief two-day inspection of the facilities and other scientific installations in Flagstaff yesterday and today. A prime stop for the new ACIC chief, who flew in Wednesday afternoon from his headquarters in St. Louis, was the housing for Lowell Observa-1 tory's new 20-inch "triplet" fractor telescope which, when is in operation sometime after the first of the year, will be the major instrument in the ACIC's moon mapping program. Col. Eriksen was greeted at Lowell by the observatory's sole trustee, Roger L.

Putnam, here for two days also to inspect progress on the housing and installation of the new telescope, and by Lowell's director and secretary respectively, Dr. John Hall and Henry Giclas. During Col. Eriksen's brief stay in Flagstaff, he also visited the U.S. Naval Observatory's Flagstaff Branch west of the city where a new 61-inch astrometric refelcting telescope is currently Tucsonite Gets Snarl From Cat TUCSON (AP)- resident of northwest Tucson found himself face to face with a hissing, snarling cat.

Later, George W. Hall decided he had been pretty lucky. An expert who exmined the tracks outside Hall's house said it was either a cougar or a cat. He also said the tracks showed two adults and two cubs had been near the Hall home. Salutes three apparent eruptions week on the surface of the U.S.

The crash victims were Kirk L. Clark, 32, a brakeman for the Santa Fe Railway and the of two children, and Kenneth W. Boles, 26, also a brakeman for the Santa Fe and also the father of two young children.

The telescope itself, valued at more than $100,000 and purchased by Lowell recently from the private observatory of Ben 0. Morgan in Odessa, Texas, is already here, awaiting completion of its attendant facilities for installation. When it finally goes into operation, Lowell will lease it for an indefinite period to the Air Force for use by the ACIC's Lunar Observation Office selenographers, in their moon-mapping activities.

The refracting telescope, with three rather than the usual two lens elements, is particularly adaptable to detailed photogeaphic observations of the Moon.

CAP officials, after seeing the said that Clark, who was the piiot, was apparently flying low and "stalled out," spinning into the dry lake bed and burying parts of the plane in the deep mud there. The finding of the wreckage climaxed an intensive air search, directed by CAP Col. Robert Luger of Tucson and involving a total of 10 planes from the Northern Arizona communities of Winslow. Flagstaff, Williams and Holbrook, A total of 15 sorties and 30 flying hours were put in on the air search this morning before the wrecked plane was spotted.

Ground parties had difficulty in actually reaching the wreckage because of the mud. Clark a native of Winslow, had been with the Santa Fe since 1955, starting first as a fireman. He is survived, others, by his wife, Dolores, and two children, Danny, 8, and Monica, 9, and his mother Mrs. Edith Clark who is Navajo (Continued on Page Two) Thriving PHOENIX (AP) Trucking permits the Arizona Corporation Commission issues for $25 are now being sold for from $2,500 to $25,000. The situation has been likened to sale of liquor licenses prior to 1961, when a shortage resulted in licenses being sold for as much as $50,000.

State law limits the number of trucking permits that may bel issued and rates are set to protect license holders. Jack Buzard, commission chairman, declined comment Thursday. Buzard said he plans to discuss the situation in a speech at the American Motors Transport Association's annual convention Nov. 8. The liquor license problem was eliminated in 1961 when a special legislative session increased availability of liquor permits.

Going prices on trucking permits today in Arizona reportedly are: A permit to move household goods plus purchase price of the business, $25,000. For hauling construction material, $10,000. For moving of house trailers, $2,500. The problem is compounded with the state's rapid growth. In some cases no ne wpermits pare issued, thus increasing yearly the value of those permits in existence.

Newcomers wishing to enter' the trucking business have choice. Either buy out the old with a permit or try to prove the permit holder is not giving proper service. To date, Arizona has 38 permits. Thirteen of these are in the Phoenix area. One prospeteiv permit buyer said he was quoted a $50,000 figure but rejected it.

Champion for breaking the present system is Max Trouberman of Phoenix, who seeks a household goods hauling permit. His recent hearing before the Corporation Commission saw his application rejected when five lawyers for the 13 Phoenix permit holders objected. Body of Hunter Found at Payson PAYSON (AP) The body of a Mesa deer hunter was found Wednesday in a water tank about 18 miles south of Payson on the Beeline Highway. Authorities said William W. Turner, 72, had apparently gone to the tank, a few yards from the highway, to get water for his car's radiator, slipped into the pond and drowned.

Turner's car hood was raised and a deer was in the trunk. The body was found by Dave McCrey and Dave Grannis, both of Phoenix.
