o o o Air Pollution Bclicfcd Cause Of Some Cancers WASHINGTON (AP) Govern ment scientists suspect that air pollution may be causing some kinds of fatal c'ancei. On the basis of studies, thpv a lo feel such pollution, worst in : cities, may speed death in cer-' "" . lain heart disease cases. The possible relationship be tween air pollution and mortality from cancer and heart disease was discussed in a booklet made public this week' by the Public Health Service. Expanding on that report. Dr. Richard A. Pnndle said "there is definitely more cancer of certain types in urban areas, and more heart disease of the arterioscle rotic type and other kinds." Prindle, chief of the air pollu tion study program, added that "we can't say air pollution causes i the heart disease but it seems to hasten death of those affected by heart disease." The Health Service booklet, pre pared for a national conference on air pollution next week, said mortality for a number of dis easesnotably certain heart ail menu and cancer of the stomach, lung and esophagus "u marked ly higher among city dwellers than among rural people."

TOKYO (AP) The new Amer ican chairman of the Internation al North Pacific Fisheries Com ission. said this week American fishermen would be disappointed by the commission's failure to set up a new salmon fishing bound ary in tht northern Pacific. Edward W. Allen, V. S. dele gate to the L.!. -Canada-Japan fisheries conference which closed here Monday, warned it Japan continues catching red salmon in the area "at the current rate" the fish stock may eventually be ruined. He said the United States pro posed the present boundary set up at 175 degrees west longitude be shifted toward Japan up to 175 degrees east longitude to re strict further Japanese salmon fishing. The United States, however, failed to win the new boundary. The present line ratified by the three nations in 19."3, will remain in force for at least another year. Bated On Survay Allen said the American pro posal is based on a scientific sur vey which he indicated a num ber of Alaskan-spawned red sal mon were caught by Japanese fishermen even in the waters east of the present boundary. "There is ample justification for America's proposal to move the boundary. ..the precious fish stock should be protected by do ing so," said Allen. He said he would expect the United States to continue press ing for moving the boundary at next year's conference to be held in Seattle Nov. 2 he said. Japan's major newspaper Asahi in an editorial said "we must re spect its recommendations... to conserve fishing resources." Asahi said "we cannot agree by any means on the principle of restricting freedom of fishing on the high seas simply because of the nationality of salmon. "But." the newspaper continued, "It goes without saying conserva tion of resources in the North Pa cific is necessary. "We must respect the recom mendations by the conference for considerations by the three pow ers to conserve fishing resources. Not only must the govern ments, but fishermen who go out to the area must al;o pay atlen tion to the agreement." Thur. Nov, 13, 1958 The Newt-Review, Roteburg, Ore.
