Since then, American specialists in drug treatment of cancer patients have made two trips to Russia and exchanged chemicals with their Soviet colleagues.

The Soviets gave the American scientists three drugs that are similar to but not the same as drugs being used here. The Americans, in turn, gave the Russians three drugs that the Soviets don't have. Dr. Stephen Carter of the National Cancer Institute says he looks forward to the day when Soviet and American scientists can run joint clinical trials for new drugs combining the large pool of cancer patients that Russia can get from its highly organized medical system and the U.S. practice of carefully controlled studies.

Other American exchange missions went to Russia to talk about joint studies in the environment and in the care of the mentally ill. Dr. Bertram S. Brown, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, signed an agreement for combined research in schizophrenia. Just last week, Dr.

If they indeed are human cancer viruses, the discovery will have advanced greatly the fight to find the cause and cure for the disease. Moreover, the Soviets will have accomplished something that American scientists have been trying vainly for years to do: isolate a human cancer virus. The job js fiendishly difficult. Although scientists have had little trouble finding viruses that cause cancers in the an-ipials, the human cancer virus has eluded them.

Dr. John B. Moloney of the National Cancer Institute said that four U.S. candidates for the first human cancer virus, all reported last year, have since been proved to be animal viruses. There are problems in proving that the Russian viruses really do cause human cancers.

For one thing, all the virus samples are contaminated with Pleuro Pneumonia-Like Organisms (PPLO), microor-g a i that were once thought to be the cause of cancer. "We don't know if the particles are contaminants or if they are human viruses," said Moloney. As a guess, he believes that at least one of the six samples will prove to be a true human virus. And even if none do prove out, he said, three of the virusesknown as Type because of their shapes are "very exciting" because it is so hard to grow that kind of virus in a laboratory. The cancer Virus exchange is only one part of an exchange program set up as part of the new warmth between the Soviet and American governments.

The joint scientific exchange agreements were signed last May when President Nixon visited Moscow.

I The trend is made clear in a report just published by "the National Science Foundation. The reasons for it, according to the report, are lack of job opportunities in 'the Immigrant home coun- tries and changes in U.S. im- migration laws in' 1965 that nave made it easier for tech-.

nically trained Asians to enter this country. The largest single incre- ments of scientific and tech- nlcal manpower from aboard in recent years have been scientists and engineers from i India and physicians from the Philippines, the report shows. In 1972, however, more physicians immigrated to the U.S. from India than from the Philippines. In many cases the im- migrants have been here for years as students and under other temporary arrange- ments, but have been able to obtain immigrant status only recently.

report, entitled Scien- tisti, Engineers and Physi-J Cians from Abroad, covers trends from fiscal year 1949 through 1970, with some preliminary figures for fiscal year 1971. Data not yet published show a general continuation of the trends through 1971, and not much change is expected to be shown for 1972, Norman Seltzer, study director of the foundation's scientific, manpower studies group, said, in answer to a question. In the future, some lessening of the influx of scientists is predicted because of a tight job market for them in the U.S. but this is not expected to apply to physicians. The report said 13,300 immigrant scientists and en-' gineers were admitted to the jh.

fiscal year 1970. This was over 30 per cent more than had entered during the previous year an 2l2 times the number for 1965. Physicians immigrated at the rate of about 3,000 a year during the five years through 1970, as contrasted with 2,000 in 1965. Figures from the National Institutes of Health show that the influx of physician Immigrants has increased sharply since 1970 and that more came here from India than from any other nation in 1972. Fiscal year 1972 figures show 1,513 physicians immigrating to the U.S.

from India, said Dr. Betty A. Loc-kett of the division of man power intelligence of the institutes. During that year, 782 physicians from the Philippines, were immigrants to the U.S. Dr.

Lockett said changes in the immigration law 1970 made it easier for foreign doctors already in the U.S. on a temporary basis to apply for immigrant status. Previously they had been required to leave the U.S. for two years before they could apply as immigrants, the new regulation made: it possible for them to apply without any interim period outside the U.S., she said. Altogether, there were 7,143 physician immigrants to the U.S.

in fiscal year 1972, nearly 5,000 of them from Asia. Europe, which used to account for the bulk of such immigrants, provided a total of only 911 last year. The reasons for the migration appeared to be a complex pattern of pushes and pulls a shortage of doctors in the U.S. and a lack of job opportunities, money and congenial working conditions in the home country.
