He is I on his way to the airport to board military plane for Denver. Adams' taking over direc I tion of the temporary White House staff puts to rest speculation that the President might delegate part of his powers to some other official during his illness. Press Gels Report Of Ships Battling Ice San ancisco (U.R) Tfte press got a first hand account Friday of how a huge fleet of ships battled ige and elements to fight itself out of a poorly charted area of the Artie. Rear Adm. Howard L. Collins, Pacific commander of the Mili tary Sea Transport Service, told a press conference how he had to "sweat it out" as head of the giant operation. In all, there were 127 ships in this largest scale Arctic opera tion in history. They were sent into the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic from both sides of the North Americas, continent to supply the "DEfv Line." "DEW Line" is the nickname for the Distant Early Warning Line of radar stations designed to alert the United States and Canada in a sneak aeria attack across the North Pole. Strength Reds Show In Indonesia Vote Djakarta (U.R) The Moslem Masjumi party took an early lead Saturday in first comprehensive unofficial returns from Indo nesia's first general elections. But the Communists were show ing surprising strength. Unofficial returns from about 1500 of the 90,000 polling sta tions, gave the Masjumi 214,809 votes, the Nationalists 165,327 votes and the Communists 158, 083 votes. The returns came from cities in West Java, East Java, north, central and south Sumatra, Bor neo and the Moluccas Islands. They included the West Java city of Bandung where the Na tionalists and Communists de cisively defeated the Masjumi. dUse Tribune Want Ads SCIENCE AT WORK By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New YorK; (U.R) The re cently announced failure of some British scientists to pro duce cancers in mice with cig arette . smoke underlines what science calls a "fundamental difficulty." u. That difficulty is this: where as there is an evident statistical relation between lung cancer and cigarette smoking (which impresses some scientists very much and some very little) scientific efforts at mechanical demonstrations have mainly ended in failures. M e c h a n ical demonstrations are designed for and demand ed by extremely skeptical people, whether they're scien tists or not scientists. In the lung cancer-cigaret smoking controversy, the demand for such a demonstration runs like this ; "Let me see cigaret smoke cause a cancer. Never mind a specific type of cancer, like lung cancer let me see cigar ette smoke produce just any kind of cancer." Used Smoka Machines 3 G Since 1932 there have been 31 scientific attempts using var ious methods and the results of all but fire have been quite neg ative. A favorite method has been to burn cigarettes in "smo king machines" and "paint" the tars which result from the burn ing onto the backs of mice. There have been 17 efforts using this method since 1932. The re sults of all but two were largely or entirely negative. Those two were both run by Dr. Ernest L. Wyhder, who is a leading proponent of the theory that prolonged cigarette smoking can cause lung cancer. ... There have been 14 efforts which involved implanting or injecting tobacco smoke pro ducts into experimental animals, or forcing laboratory animals to inhale tobacco smoke products or adding tobacdi smoke pro ducts to the diets of laboratory animals. The results have been largely or entirely negative in all except one. The writer is not trying to back or disparage either side of the controversy, of course. He is outlining the "fundamental difficulty" which is generally ac knowledged even by the scien tists' who have complete faith in the statistics which seem to demonstrate an "association" be tween cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Puzzling Mice Dr. Wynder's two "positive" mouse-painting experiments are interesting. The one reported in 1953 produced cancers on 44 per cent of 81 -mouse backs after 71 weeks of daily painting, on the average. But in his "paint ing" experiments reported this year, the percentages of cancers after prolonged painting were many times lower. Wynder thought the reason might have been that he used to bacco tars which had been stor ed for a considerable time. He pointed out that by his own ex periments, one . of the three strams oi mice ne used was clearly more, susceptible than the other two and that one strain was clearly the least susceptible, Scientists are quite aware that a mouse is not a man. On the other hand, scientists can't ex periment with men. A very im portant question is this: which of the many strains of inbred mice has a suscepibility to can cer that is most like the suscep tibility of man? Wynder's mice, scientific critics have said, had a considerable high suscepibil ity. But it could be that the mice used by other , investigators had a much lower suscepibility.

"It's all over. They've all sur- rended. We're herding them back to-regular cells now," city penal institutions commissioner Ed- waroVL. Friel announced at 9:15 p.m. (EDT). The men had begun scream ing and yelling at 6:15 p.m. and then surged into the "Hill Pris on" one of three main build ings at the jail during an even ing exercise period. O ' They kicked in windows of cells in the 'east wing, turned over beds and damaged cell doors. Dozens of tear gas shells were lobbed into the windows of the Bender Plans To Ask Lighter Load for Ike Columbus, O. (U.R) Sen. George H. Bender plans to ask the next session of Congress to set up a committee to consider "ways and means of lightening the President's responsibilities." "It is time to consider ways and means of easing some of the burdens placed on our presi dent," the Ohio Republican said. "No man should be callecUto occupy a position which offers a simultaneous path towafid glory and the grave. Every presi dent who has occupied the office in modern times has called it a 'man killing job.'" Bender told a gathering of Ohio Republican women Friday night that some of the president's work should be assigned to as sistants the same as it done "in every great American industry." Bender said President Eisen hower's attack in Denver last week had made the public more aware of the president's heavy responsibilities. Western Powers Plan Protest to Russians Washington (U.R) Western powers plan to vigorously pro test to Russia recent Soviet con cessions granted the East Ger man government. n A highly placed diplomatic source said the west is particu larly concerned over Russia's de cision to allow East Germany to control traffic moving into West Berlin.

Peron's 16-year-old mistress, told reporters. Satur day night, "he might have been my grandfather but he loved me." But police disclosed that the aging Don Juan dictator had other teen-age favorites and was planning to install them all in an , eight-story suburban apart ment which he was transforming into a harem hideaway for Nelly and the other girls. Only the revolution stopped him. Was Impratsed Nelly told La Rason news paper reporters at her parents apartment that she met Peron in 1953 during graduation exer cises as a home economics stu dent. He gave her and the other girls billfolds containing 500 pesos (about $45). I was impressed," Nelly said. "I also asked for jewel and he gave me some with the name Maria Eva Duarte de Peron (the president's deceased wife) en graved on them." 4 A reported asked Nelly Of she wasn't jealous. "No," she replied, "I was the only on he loved." Asked about the 300,000 pesos in cash and the same amount in jewels confiscated in her home t. police," the girl said: "Pappy gave them to me." Parents Knew nothing wrong in her daughter's intimate relations with the 60- year-old former president. "Of course we knew. What was wrong with that? The man was good to hec . . he gave her gifts," she said. Meanwhile, police disclosed that Peron had evicted all the tenants from the -apartment house which was located around the corner from his official palace in th: fashionable Pal ermo district and installed Nelly in the luxurious duplex apart ment. Q Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Prait Corrttpondrat Hollywood (U.R) A boyish, eager singer named Gordon Mac Rae today is one of the hottest "new" stars in Hollywood thanks to his own salesman ship and a non eager singer named Frank Sinatra. After Mac Rae bowed out of Warner Aline Motor Studios, Hol lywood observers pegged him as "washed up." But MacRae told today how by a fascinating com bination of persistence and self confidence he promoted himself into the two biggest musicals of many years "Oklahoma," and "Carousel." "Why, even when Frapk Sina tra got the role in 'Carousel' I never lost faith I would get the part," MacRae said. "I even kept my sideburns and my hair long." Buttonholes Director ; MacRae is not one to sit by quietly and let people discover his talents. He won the part in "Oklahoma!" by buttonholing di rector Fred Zinneman arid pro ducer Arthur Hornblow. He says, with some bewilderment, "They wasted a lot of money testing other people." "When I was doing 'Okla homa, I talked to Rogers and Hammerstein about domg 'Car ousel, ", he went on. "I thought I'd be a cinch for the part. I al ways hoped I'd do the picture. But they told me Sinatra had the inside track. MacRae nonetheless wired Darryl F. Zanuck of 20th Cen turyFox that the best man for "Carousel" was MacRae. Zanuck wired back that Sinatra was set. Sinatra, ' MacRae revealed, hinted even before the picture started he might ditch the role "I saw Frankie up in Las Vegas and kidded him, telling him that he ought to lay off 'Carousel' as it was an Oscar type role, and I'd like to do one and he'd already done 'From Here to Eternity,' " MacRae said. "Frahkie said, 'Dbn't Worry about it, Goi)n.' " Sinatra, as hinted, stalked off the Magpe location of "Carousel," claiming he hadn't bargained for the picture to be shot with two different cameras. MacRae already knew the songs of "Carousel" because he sang them last spring at a fait in Dallas another move designed to win him the picture role. Enter Doris Day "I studied hard for eight years, making a lot oi pictures tag up Doris Day." I watched MacRae do a scene for "Carousel," and several times he asked producer Henry Ephron, "Was that okay? Did you like that?" Now MacRae is planning his next move. He wants a Broad way musical. "Also, Mr. Ephron is writing a picture for me," he began. "I'm producing one that might have a role for you," Ephron corrected him. " and I saw Jack, Warner at a party the other night and put in a plug for 'Pajama Game,' MacRae said eagerly. READS TO IKE Army Nurse Lt. Lorraine P. Knox of Webster, Mass.
