DAVIS WASHINGTON (AP) A new Public Health Service study re cords the death rate among per sons who regularly smoked cig arettes alone as 58 per cent great er than that of nonsmokers. Those who used tobacco in any form not just cigarettes are shown to have a death rate 32 per cent greater than for persons who have never smoked. The report made public Satur day was prepared by Dr. Harold F. Dorn, chief statistician for the National Institutes of Health, a part of the Health Service. It was drafted for delivery Tuesday to the Seventh International Cancer Con gress in London. Dr. Dorn summarized death rates among 198,926 holders of U.S. government life insurance policies. These persons served in the armed forces between 1917 and 1940. They were aged from 30 to 90, with the majority between 50 and 70. His report covered 7,382 deaths during the period July 1954-De-cember 1956. The deaths were re lated statistically in the report to the smoking habits of the veterans. Of those who died 6.203 were listed as smokers and 1,179 as non smokers. The main findings that smokers had a death rate 32 per cent high er than nonsmokers and that smok ers of cigarettes alone had a rate 58 per cent higher than nonsmok ers, were supplemented by these other points in Dorn's report: The lung cancer rate for regu lar smokers of cigarettes only was about 10 times the death rare for nonsmokers. The death rates among regular cigarette smokers were closely re lated to the amount smoked. For example, death rates of persons who smoked more than 40 cigarettes a day were much high-' er than those of persons who smoked fewer than 10 cigarettes a day. The death rate of persons who regularly smoked cigars and or pipes was not significantly higher than that of nonsmokers. Only the heaviest users of cigar and pipe tobacco had an appreciably high er death rat from all causes than nonsmokers. Nearly two-thirds of the 6.203 deaths of tobacco users studied were attributed- to diseases of the heart, blood vessels and kidneys. The death rate from coronary heart disease was lound to be 63 per cent greater for regular cigarette only smokers than for nonsmok ers. Regular cigarette smokers who had stopped smoking cigarettes before the study began in 1954 had a lower mortality rate than those who continued to smoke. However. the rate was 30 per cent greater man mat ot nonsmokers Regular cigarette smokers also had greater death rates from cer tain respiratory disease such as Bronchitis, pleurisy and emphys ema, from ulcers of the stomach CHOSE N -1 Leo A.

War Service Proves Loyalty Asian Population Unit No Longer Held Barrier To Statehood For Hawaii By SPENCER DAVIS I WASHINGTON (AP) - Has the territory of Hawaii's large Asian population prevented it from being admitted to statehood? Democratic delegate John A. Burns thinks not and he is opti mistic that the so-called Cross roads of the Pacific will be ac cepted as the 50th state if not now, by the next Congress. Nevertheless Burns, an Irishman who describes himself as a form er cop (he was once a Honolulu detective) does not mince words. Of the 500,000 residents of the territory, minority groups of As ian ancestry Japanese, Koreans, Chinese and Filipinos compose more than 40 per cent. As far back as 1900, Burns said, the then governor of Hawaii, Sanford Ballard Dole, declared publicly that statehood was out of the question for Hawaii because it would r.u!l in a Japanese gov ernor. That attitude persisted on the part of the influential economic group in Hawaii until 1945, although it was not pubicly expressed, Burns said. Loyalty Proved In War By the end of World War II the exploits of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, composed of Amer icans of Japanese ancestry, and the Hawaiian recruited 100th In fantry Batallion which fought va laintly with the 34th, 36th and 92nd divisions, dispelled any doubts of loyalty to the United States. Former Intelligence Agent Offers Plan To Strike Back At Kidnapers Of Americans CALLS FOR PROBE WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) Wednesday asked congress to investigate the use of foreign made recordings by U. S. film producers. Morse said that Herman Kenin. president of the American Federa tion of Musicians, told him that of 125 filmed television shows, fewer and duodenum, and from cirrhosis than a dozen now employ Ameri of the liver. can musicians. NEW YORK (AP) Lyle H. Munson, a former government in telligence agent and now a busi nessman here, also is a fellow who's pretty sore about Ameri can citizens being held captive around the world. He figures it's time to put a halt to it. And, he says, if the government won't take strong enough meas ures to "stop this nonsense," he's willing to tackle the job himself by a method dating back to revo lutionary days and before. He has petitioned Congress to grant him a "letter of marque and reprisal." Congress can, and has done so in bygone times, un der Article 1, Section 8, Para graph 11, of the constitution. it is a means wnercDy a pri vate citizen can be authorized to organize an armed expedition in retaliation for acts or injuries commited by other nationals, pi rates and otherwise.

With the DroDer number of leeal phrases, the petition also assert ed mat "the office of the execu tive is impotent to rectify the afore said abuses, by reason of preoc cupation with other pressing mat ters." Invitation To Banditry To this the 40-year-old father of two adds the comment: "Our lack of action, and the ri dicule we have been held up to as a nation, is an ouon invitation in any little two-bit bandit to do any- imiiB ne pieases wun our citizens. Munson directed his petition to the speaker of the House and the president of the Senate. He said the only resDon.se so far wn n letter from Speaker Rayburn (D- lexi saying it nad been referred to the appropriate committee. Munson said he was in the OSS during World War II and later in uie Central Intelligence Agency, which he left in 1052. He now is a book publisher and distributor here. He asserted that his petition to congress was not a publicity stunt uui acKnowieagea ne saw it as a means of focusing the attention of Longress and the nation on the worsening situation. tie said he had no real expec tation that his petition would be granted, but if by some outside chance it should be: "I can recruit more than enough people and money to man any task force required to rescue our pe ople and stop this nonsense in a hell of a hurry." Since then Burns said opponents of statehood have cited commun ism m the islands as the great danger. Democratic senators also have raised objections to Hawaii's non- contiguity with the American con tinent as another obstacle. Back of this observers will admit is some prejudice against the As ian minority groups. Civil Rights Fee red Hawaii has long been considered a Republican bailiwick. Burns is the first Democratic delegate from the territory in 22 years. In rather partisan fashion. Burns credits Republicans with heighten ing Democratic opposition by point ing out that southern congress men are atraid that Hawaii He- publicans would vote for civil rights legislation if tney were ad mitted to Congress. The Republicans have said this for so long and so vigorously they have convinced some die-hard southerners of the truth of their contention, he said. However. Burns noted that Alaska statehood obtained eight southern votes in the senate to 13 opposed. He predicts that Hawaii will mar shal more southern support than Alaska did. Mon.
