Earl G. Waters 6 The Nevada County Nugget Wed., October 15, 1975 es Hot senatorial contest Make no mistake, although . the election is 13 months distant, the contest for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat John V. Tunney is already shaping up to a hot battle. It is because Tunney is widely regarded, especially by the Republicans, as a pushover. His position as a candidate for re-election has been harmed by having gained a_ reputation, _ deserved or not, -of being inattentive both to his duties in Congress and his constituents at home. And he may be further weakening himself in attempts to shift politically from what many Democrats think is too left to a more moderate stance. It was that obvious move to the middle which prompted student activist Tom Hayden to leap into the race to challenge Tunney for the Democratic nomination next June. But.even though Hayden will siphon off the left wing of the Democratic party he is no threat and Tunney unscathed. The real test will come in November 1976 from _ the Republicans who are after his anticipated victory. They are forgetting that Tunney, now-37, had won three . year with Ronald Reagan winning his second term as governor over former Speaker Jesse. Unruh. Besides Tunney, only one other Democrat won statewide office that year. That was Edmund G. Brown Jr. making his first bid for state office. Running against an unknown he was. elected Secretary of State. But Tunney received more votes than Reagan or Brown. Still the tide was running strong for the Republicans and Houston I. Flournoy was. the highest votegetter of all in his bid for reelection as State Controller. They are also overlooking the tendency of the voters to blame the administration in power for hara times. And 1976 omens a bad year for the Republicans as appointive President Gerald Ford seeks election in his own right against the outlook of a dismal economy and continued high unemployment. Perhaps they are betting on the fact that California voters often ignore the tide in their balloting. It may elect Democrats at the state level and vote Republican nationally or vice versa. They may also be gambling on the current disorganization of California Democrats. Its condition is so bad that one is reminded of Will.

What do doctors mean when they say that they are using a ‘‘cytoto: ”” agent in the treatment of cancer? A. Cytotoxic agents are those chemical compounds which are capable of killing or discouraging the growth of cells. In many cases the malignan t cells are much more susceptible to the effects of these agents than are normal cells, so treatment results.in doing away with the cancerous cells only. Q. Can cancer be inherited? A. For the’ most : part, current thinking is that malignancies are not inherited although there are some exceptions. Cancer of the breast does'seem in some instances to have a familial tendency, with many women of the same family affected. Whether this represents an inherited tendency or simple transmission of a cancerproducing virus from motlier to daughter hasn’tbeen answered yet. At any.rate, any woman who has a mother or sisters who have had breast malignancies, should be especially sure to have periodic’ breast examinations and should learn how to examine herself. Information concerning the techniques of breast self-examination can be.obtained from your local Cancer Society. Q. Is there a blood test available which will tell a patient whether or not he has cancer someplace in his body? ’ For all practical , there isn’t any test which will give us this information. We do have a few tests which can give us a hint of the possibility of specific types of cancer, but the test isn’t sufficiently accurate to be used as a screening mechanism. Let me urge you to be wary of the doctor who would have you believe he can test your ~ blood and tell for sure whether or not you have cancer. Quacks with. elaborate machines, purport ed. to , detect cancer have been misleading the public for years.
