MAMflSAMY TEA CA
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Two
cancer experts have issued re
ports on laboratory tests con
ducted to determine if there is
any relationship between cancer
and the tars and smoke produc
ed by burning cigarette paper.
Their views were expressed
yesterday during a chemistry
meeting of the American Assoc
iation for the Advancement of
Science.
Dr. D. V. Lefemine of the Mi
ami Cancer Research institute
reported he .had burned the pa
per from 1(J00 king-sized: cigar
ettes and isolated large amounts
of a cancer causing agent known
as benzpyrene. This substance
caused cancer in laboratory ani
mals. - v . . .;'
Lefemine said the amounts f
the compound in the tobacco
itself was "negligible."
Lefemine said he and his col
leagues are now trying to dis
cover the possible cancerous ef

Dr. Paul Kotin, of the Univer
sity of Southern California Med
ical School immediately chal
lenged Lefemine's report.' -
"The relation between the Mi
ami laboratory tests and the ac
tual burning of cigarette paper
in normal human smoking is so
remote as to make it incapable
of comparison with human ex
perience," Kotin said.
Kotin, noted for his studies of
the effect of smog and other air
pollutants on lung cancer, de
scribed a long study of the can
cer producing effect on tars and
paper and the atmosphere.
"We have compared the po
tency" of ; tars from cigarette to
bacco and paper with that of
tars collected from the atmos
phere," Kotin said.

atmosphere tars are 700 to 800
times more potent carcinogens
(cancer producers)." '. .
At the end of the discussion,
Lefemine admitted that his Mi
ami studies represent "a purely
chemical -experiment, and do not
establish "any relationship be
tween smoking and cancer."
In another paper, Dr. Otto E.
Lobstein and r. S. I. Dulkin of
the Chem-Tech Laboratories,
Beverly Hills," Calif., told how
they, "cured" or retarded , the
growth of certain tumors in mice
through the use of "a chemical
called lysozyme." "
! They said : in half the cases,
the cancerous growths, known
as lymphosarcomas, apparently
disappeared and the mice were,
thereafter immune to cancer,
provided they were - treated
early enough.
In the other half, the growth
of the cancerous tissue was con
siderably retarded. ,

Texas Hunters, Ranchers in
Jasper,, Tex. ' (U.R) "Bad
blood" between Texas ranchers
and hunters who defy legal sea
sons and "posted" signs was
blamed today for a furious eight
man gun battle reminiscent of
the Old West.
One hunter was killed in the
gunfight that erupted Christmas
day between six hunters and two
ranchers. Both of the ranchers
and a s ec o n d hunter were
wounded." i
... The battle apparently .began
when a hunter accused a rancher
of shooting a dog. But the body
of the dog has not been' found
and a hound was seen wandering
out of the woods yesterday. ....
A verdict of murder was re
turned by Justice of the Peace
Thomas Burch in the death of

the hunter, Roy Muench, 51,
Port Arthur, Tex. No murder
charge was filed immediately,
however, because sheriff's still
must determined who fired the
fatal shot.
Four of the hunters were ar
rested and charged with assault
with intent to kill the ranchers.
After the fiery free for all in
a wooded area of "big thicket"
country in. East Texas, sheriff's
officers confiscated, nine guns,
including six high-powered 30-30
rifles and three shotguns. More
than 30 empty shells littered
the area. v
The battle was staged along a
country lane between Jasper and
Browndell, about 100 yards from
a boundary line of a 15,000-acre
cattle ranch operated by two

brothers, Dalphene and Sterling

The site looked "like a battle
ground," Deputy. Sheriff Wayne
Pullen reported. "Bushes were
shot away, trees were hit and
there was blood all over the
road."
The six hunters involved in
the gunbattle were Muench,
Clarence . Willingham, his son-in-law;
Travis Ellis from Brown
dell; her brother, Charles Ellis,
an Army corporal on leave from
Fort Hood, Tex.; Richard Mor
ris and Gerald Sanford, both
from Jasper. They had been
hunting in the area of the. Gar
lington ranch, Christmas eve.
. Pullen said they returned on
Christmas day to look for a lost
dog and encountered the Garl-

ington brothers, who were arm
ed. . . . ; ... ,
The deputy , said Muench ac
cused - the . ranchers of shooting
his dog. Tempers flared, the
men raced to cover and shot it
out for several minutes. Muench
apparently had left his gun near
the' hunters' parked car and re
ceived a fatal bullet in the body
when he lunged for his weapon,
Pullen said.
.Charles Ellis and Willingham,
both of whom . admitted they
took part in the gun battle, were
charged along with Morris and
Sanford with assault with intent
to murder the Garlington bro
thers, both of whom were
wounded. Travis Ellis, a hunter,
was the third man wounded in
the fight.
