The front-page story, "Blood Researchers Make Vital Finding" in yesterday's Boston Herald is "The most disgusting journalism I have ever seen," Edwin J. Cohn, professor of Biological Chemistry, told the CRIMSON last night.

The Herald said that Cohn is "opening up secrets locked in human blood since the beginnings of time--and the possibilities in terms of curing human ills are incalculable. . . For the first time, living white blood calls can now be isolated for study and treatment."

Cohn Indignant

"I'm indignant about this," Cohn said, "All we're doing is collecting white cells and giving them to researchers. It's been done before. It may not help anybody--in fact, it may not be worth a darn.

"Our project has no relation at all to the Herald's yellow journalism."

The Boston paper led its story with, "Exciting new history is being written with blood," and went on to say, "Just what the isolation of living white blood cells will turn up, scientists cannot predict at this time. But. . . one important use may be the introduction of living white blood cells into the bloodstream f a patient under treatment for cancer."
