"There may be as many as eight such trips but not that many
in the immediate future," Nessen said.
He said Ford wants to be in Washington during Congressional
sessions.
White House sources said the Atlanta trip probably would
be Feb. 3-4. Nessen said if Ford goes to Atlanta, he would
address a meeting of the Opportunities Industrial Corporation,
a black self-help group he has aided since before becoming
President.

Atomic Bombs to Kill Cancer
Palo Alto, Calif. (UPI) -- Cancer researchers at Stanford
University said today they had developed a radiation device
that would kill cancer cells with "miniature nuclear explosions."
Dr. Henry Kaplan, a leading expert on Hodgkins disease,
said the approach was "absolutely unique" and would produce
little or no damage to nearby healthy organs or tissue.
The device is designed for use on cancers of the mouth and
throat, certain tumors of the brain and lungs and those which
presently resist conventional radiation.

Old Timers Bid Fox Farewell
Jan.24,
Washington (UPI) -- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sent a 75
telegram and White House social secretaries and press secretaries
dating back to the Truman era showed up Friday for Betty Ford's
farewell party for Sanford Fox, retiring chief of the Presi-
dential Entertainment Office.
More than 100 persons who had known Fox through his White
House years helped salute him on the occasion of his retirement
after 32 years in government.
Fox has had charge of the handlettering of White House
invitations and placecards at all of the State functions.
In her telegram, Mrs. Onassis said: "I wish I could be with
you today on this very special occasion. I know how much you
will be missed at the White House. But I hope your future years
will be very special ones."
Mrs. Ford presented Fox with a certificate of meritorious
service from the President and a numbered oil painting.
