July' 31,' IS S3 Bridges Kept From Telling on Radio SAN FRANCISCO, July Longshore Chief Harry Bridges, harrassed by near-revolts within his waterfront union,, today was barred from a radio program In which he planned to explain -his views on the Korean war. The American Broadcasting commpany over whose network the program was to be aired ssia Bridges appearance was cancell ed because it covered a "contro versial' subject At the same time. ABC's San Francisco station KGO announced that it will not renew its contract , with left-wing radio commentator Sidney Roger -on whose program Bridges was to havespoken. ; A KGO spokesman said Roger was removed from the air because his views' no longer represented any significant group in the com munity. : ' . "They have lied about Bridges," Roger said. "Somebody in Wash ington wants to put him away so t he can't talk. I, too, have become controversial, though my ideas have not changed. Bridges is at liberty on $25,000 bail pending appeal of his convic tion of perjury. He was found guilty of falsely swearing at' his 1945 naturalization hearing, that he was not and never had been a member of the communist party. Only last week Bridges was re pudiated by one of his longshore and warehouse locals on the ques tion of endorsing the United Na , tlon's Korean policy. Bridges, L rather than endorsing the police i ' action, urged arbitration through the U.N. U.S. Losses in Undetermined By O. II. P. King AN ADVANCE AMERICAN AIR BASE IN KOREA, Monday.

Several months ago we would have settled for 30, but things are different now. The people are going to vote mainly against the party in power and that Is the democratic party. They are discontented over the probabil ity of higher taxes and increased living costs. In a situation like that, the people just naturally vote against the party in power.

Auto Industry ts New Contract DETROIT, July 30 -CSV Union members today rejected: a five year contract that had been agreed upon by the CIO United Auto Workers and the Hudson Motor Car Co. The rejection was unpre cedented in post-war auto indus try bargaining. The pact was patterned closely after the one negotiated with Gen eral Motors Corp. and was consid ered one of the best in the indus try. It provided 20,000 Huditm workers maximum monthly pen sions of $117.50, Including federal social security, at age 65 after 25 years service. The company also agreed to pay a three-cent hourly wage increase with 1,500 unskilled workers to receive an additional ; two-cent hike. Hudson also was to pay about three cents an hour towards workers' hospital and medical in surance. The entire package was estimated at 15 cents an hour. Del win Craig, president of Local 154 UAW, said the members thought they should receive more than the three-cent hourly raise. He said they also objected to worker contributions for hospital- medical Insurance. Craig said the company would be notified of the vote tomorraw and new negotiations would begin soon. He gave no details of what the union would ask. The com pany had no comment.

Blakeslee OXFORD, Eng., July 30 The kind of town you live in may give you a greater or lesser chance of getting some particular form of cancer, a statistical study shows. , ' In one town it may be more chance for cancer of the stomach or bladder. In another, more chance for cancer of the lung or breast. Why this is so can only be a guess thus far. - An unusual study of cancers in 83 large towns shows just such odd differences in the common sites of cancer, says Dr. Percy Stocks, chief medical statistician, general register office, London. Dr. Stocks described his find ings to an international meeting discussing how cancer varies by geography and by populations. Twenty experts from nine nations are making! Plans to investigate such differences for clues to the cause and prevention of cancer. ? Cases Analysed Dr. Stocks analyzed cancer deaths In the years ,1921-39 in 83 county boroughs in England and Wales. The study centered on the sites of the cancers, whether in the stomach, rectum, uterus, breast. prostate gland, bladder, or lung. He found some towns had sig nificantly more cancer of one kind than did other towns. The differ ences weren't due to chance, but apparently to some local factors in environments, he said. The greatest differences, by towns, was in stomach cancer. The higher than average rates of this cancer occurred in towns of northern England. In Textile Towns j High rates of cancer of the ut erus were found in towns on the northeast coast, in textile towns of Yorkshire and Lancaster, and in seaports, he. said. But breast can cers were not so common in these towns. The towns; with low rates of cancer of the Uterus had high rates of breast cancer. Towns where cancer of the rec tum was more frequent than av erage were those; in the midlands area. Cancer of the bladder and prostate gland jwere generally higher in southern England than in the north. j Lung cancers were most prev alent in towns with houses crowd ed together. Perhaps there is more smoke in the atmosphere in such towns. Dr. Stocks said. This, how ever, is only a guess. So far there are only guesses as to why cancer of the stomach or uterus or other organs appear greater in towns than others. some FLORIST GIRLS WIN VANCOUVER,!
