Deadly
Polonium May
Be
Cancer Link
BOSTON (UPI) Polonium
known to chemistry students
simply as PO, may be the
deadly link between cigar
ette smoking and lung cancer.
Two non smoking Harvard
University scientists disclosed
Thursday they found polonium
a radio active element dis
covered in 1898 by Madame
Eva Curie, in cigarette smoke.
Dr. Edward P. Radford and
Dr. Vilma R. Hunt told a news
conference that a min smoking
two packs of cigarettes a day
probably was exposed to at
least "seven times more radia
tion than the non-smoker.
They said polonium was va
porized at the burning temper
ature of the cigarette and was
carried into the lungs by at
taching itself to the smoke par
ticles. Most of the polonium
eventually is taken up by scav
enger cells and carried into the
bronchial lining of the throat,
they said.
The current filters on cigar
ettes do not remove the dan
gerous polonium from smoke,
they said.
"I would be surprised if the
tobacco industry wasn't able to
do something about this," Dr.
Radford said. "But currently
available filters arc not effec
tive because they do not filter
out the smoke. So, what's the
sense of smoking?"
The researchers said an ef
fective filter would be one that
removed all the smoke, leaving
the smoker to inhale nothing
but hot air.
The scientists said they found
that polonium, which emits
alpha radiation, was present in
small amounts in tobacco as a
natural contaminant. It is pres
ent, also in small amounts, in
all green plants.

Parcel Post Rate
Increase Is Due
WASHINGTON (UPI) Par
cel Post rates are going up.
The Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) Thursday
approved rate increases expect
cd to cost the public about $75.4
million a year. The increases
average 13.1 per cent but vary
according to the mailing dis
tance.
It is now up to the Post Of
fice Department, which is re
quired by law to get ICC ap
proval before raising the Parcel
Post rates, to set the date that
the new rates go into effect.
In its action Thursday the
ICC also approved increases
and changes in mailing rates
for catalogs. This is expected
to bring an additional $2.3 mil

By United Press International
Howling winds swept the
Northern Plains today and
heavy rain soaked the South
land.. A new storm off the Pa
cific Coast spewed rain and
snow far inland.
Whistling winds gusted at
more than 65 miles an hour at
Williston, N.D., and cut visibili
ty ot less than a quarter mile
in blinding snow.
The Pacific storm spread
more ihan an inch of rain
along the Northeast coast and
triggered snowstorms across
the Rockies. Two inches of
fresh snow fell at Salt Lake
City in six hours t?day.
The weather bureau called
the western storm "vigorous.'
In the Southland, the storm
that surprised Texas with rec
ord snow pushed eastward and
dumped especially heavy rain
along the Gulf coast.
Jacksonville, r la., received
more than an inch in six hours
and Tallahassee tallied nearly
2'ii inches in 12 hours. Shrcve-

SAIGON, South Viet '. Nam
(UPI) A massive force of
South Vietnamese troops
launched the biggest helicopter
assault in military history today
against the Communist Vict
Cong. Four Americans were
killed and three others wounded.
The U. S. Army men wore
killed when their helicopter was
hit by a fierce guerrilla ground
fire, exploded and crushed in
flames. A Vietnamese soldier on
board also was killed. ,
The casualties occurrod- dur-

of Saigon.
The dead Americans included
two U. S. Army officers whoi
were pilot and co-pilot of an HU

of the Vietnamese government
troops and the two Army en
listed gunners who were aboard.
A Vietnamese army observer al
so was killed.
Three other U.S. Army enlist

copters supporting the assault.
Eyewitnesses reported that at
least 10 and possibly 15 of the
approximately 50 helicopters
taking part in the 'massive of
fensive were hit by Communist
gunfire. Some were hit several
times, but continued flying.
A Vietnamese army observer
in another HU-1B also was
wounded in the chest when a
Communist bullet tore through
his flack jacket.
The massive cobined air,
ground and naval assault on the
Red stronghold was the biggest
launched since the fall of tho
Ngo family regime last Novem
ber.
It involved about 2,300 troops
and 50 helicopters, as well as
fighters, bombers and naval
landing assault boats. A total of

troops were airlifted into seven
assault zones. Eyewitnesses

Wall Agreement
BERLIN (UPI)-West Berlin
and East German officials
sought a new agreement today
on opening the "Christmas
gate" in tho Communist wall on
a more permanent basis
Western officials were not op
timistic about the meeting, the
second since the Communists re-
scaled the wall Jan. 5 after al
lowing West Bcrliners to visit
East Berlin relatives during tho
Christmas holidays. The visits
were the first since the wall was
built in 1961.
Negotiators had before them
an East German proposal that
West Bcrliners be given passes
for "compassionate" visits to
ailing relatives in the East.
West Berlin already has sug
gested the issuing of passes to
all West Bcrliners and a techni
cal proposal that the actual dis
tribution of passes and applica
tions be handled by West Ber
lin district police and post offices.
West Berlin negotiator Horst

to discuss nothing but traffic
