He said he is of the latter persuasion and said the party will be judged “by effectiveness, the degree to which people’s lives can be improved.

The so-called open caucus, generally con- sidered the more leftist- oriented sections of the party msupported by the Women's Caucus, took two seats including the position of first vice-president, which went to ex-MLA Doctors divided over Laeirile WASHINGTON (AP) — ‘The ranks of organized medicine in the United States have breken for the first ‘ime in the lon eon troversy over the ed anticancer agent Lae le. One of the profession's mast respected voices, Dr. . Lewis Thomas, now says that human clinical tests faust be undertaken and he ig known to feel that the matter is urgent. But on ’ Tuesday the American Can- cer Society expressed shock at the idea. Thomas, president of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering _ Cancer Centre in New York, is known to feel that the medical and scientific professions must act to establish the facts because several states have ap- praved the use of Laetrile without medical evidence of its effectiveness. Thomas feels that a apecial epidemiclogical ote should conduct a‘study ople who claim to haye sonet ted from Laetrile treatment and to find out what kind of cancer they had, what other treatment they received and what the results were. He also recommends that a special committee be established to review the results of both studies. The committee should be pai sin of professionals ymen, he says. arenas! comments came as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) said it is “seriously considering’? using Laetrile in tests on humans. The American Cancer Society, however, said that . jtis oH little shocked’ at the statement by the NCI. The American Medical Association said it was standing by its.position that Laetrile is not recognized as either safe or effective. The Food and Drug Ad- ministration (FDA) takes the position that Laetrile must first be shown in animal trials to be safe and effective before any human trials can be undertaken. The FDA has banned Laetrile from interstate commerce but this ban does not apply to Laetrile produce and used within an individual state. Moves to legalize Laetrile are under way in a growing number of states. Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Arizona and Nevada have legalized the substance. Legislatures in Texas an Washington have voted to legalize it, and their acts are awaiting "approval of the governors of those twa states. Laetrile is the chemical amygdalin, which occurs naturally in the pits of apricots and peaches and in . tter almonds. Ata recent , FDA hearing in Kansas City, Mo., the weight of the scientific evidence pfe- sented was that Laetrile was not effective in cancer treat- ment, But public pressure is changing some opinions on testing. rr seems to us that societal pressure has something to do with this,” said Dr. Guy Newell, acting director of NCI. Hi “Many people are ge ng the drug. Some individuals claim it is beneficial. It has no apparent toxicity, But atl of this has persua ed us to reopen the issue of con- ducting a clinical trial.” In final TV interview ' Nixon jumps on Agnew _ WASHINGTON (AP) — Richard Nixon says that when he learned in 1973 about the investigations . involving s iro Agnew, “there ‘wasn’ any question ue he was, frankly, going t get it.” In an interview to be shown on television tonight, Nixon discusses for the first time what happened inside the White House in the weeks preceding the Oct. 10, 1973, resignation of Agnew as vice-president. He de- scribes his handling of the matter as “pragmatic.” Nixon also talks about suggestions that he pardon Ferry users faced long lines of traffic VANCOUVER (CP) — beg the long okend only Pre problem was at put LANGD.

Harold Steves of Richmond, and to Terri Ash of Kamloops, who was elected to one of 10 positions as executive member-at-large. Another indication of ¢ control of the establishment was that the’ convention consistently voted down challenges from the floor to the chairman during con- vention proceedings. Brewin received official blessin: when he was nominated for party president by former member of Parliament Grace McInnis who recalled his impressive credentials of party work and his im- peccable party lineage as the son of Andy Brewin. Brewin, NBE const of the Victoria NDP constituency association,..is a former member of ‘the NDP federal executive, a former treasurer of the Ontario NDP and was a provincial candidate in Ontario in 1967 and 1971. He won the vote for president with 667 votes to 993 for Terri Ash.

He said he hopes the party will have 30,000 members by the end of the year, up from 25,000 now, and says. it will be well prepared to fight the next election. ; Carter wants support for genocide law WASHINGTON (AP) — President Carter wants the U.S. Senate to approve the United Nations convention ‘on genocide, supported by 83 countries but not by the United States.
