rank J.

Rauscher Jr., 62, a former director of the National Cancer Institute who also

had served as senior vice president and research director of the American

Cancer Society, died Dec. 31 at a hospital in Nyack, N.Y., after a heart

attack. He lived in Weston, Conn. Dr. Rauscher, a former Bethesda and Rockville

resident, had worked for the National Cancer Institute from 1959 to 1976. During

his years at the National Cancer Institute, which is part of the National

Institutes of Health, he served as head of the viral oncology section and

etiology director before becoming institute director in 1971. He held that post

for five years before resigning in 1976. Dr. Rauscher was a highly regarded

director, a man of undoubted accomplishment in the lab as well as an effective

administrator and accomplished advocate on Capitol Hill. But he told Colleagues

that with five children to send through college, he could no longer afford to

make due on an annual government salary of $37,000. He left the National Cancer Institute and

joined the American Cancer Society in New York, where he worked until 1988,

directing a research program that was about one-twentieth the size of the

program he had directed at the National Cancer Institute. Since

1988, he had been executive director of the Thermal Insulation Manufacturers'

Association in Stamford, Conn. There, he helped direct research on

noncarcinogenic thermal insulation materials to replace asbestos. Dr. Rauscher,

a native of Hellertown, Pa., was a graduate of Moravian College in Bethlehem,

Pa., and received a doctorate in virology from Rutgers University. Before

coming to the Washington area, he had been a research assistant and assistant

virology professor at Rutgers. At the National Cancer Institute, he discovered

a murine leukemia virus that now bears his name. The Rauscher leukemia virus is

widely used in laboratory research in such areas as cancer and AIDS research. In 1965,

Dr. Rauscher was named one of the 10 outstanding young men by the U.S. Junior

Chamber of Commerce. Three years later, he was named a recipient of the Arthur

S. Flemming Award for outstanding federal executives for his research work

linking cancer to viruses. During his years at the National Cancer

Institute, he had served on governing and scientific boards of the

International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France. He was the author

of 70 technical papers on microbiology, virology, viral oncology, and science

management. He had lectured widely.
