j bids farewell to newsmen at the White House in Washington as he drives away. He is
I on his way to the airport to board military plane for Denver. Adams' taking over direc

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

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

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.

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.

Boston (U.R) National
Guardsmen, state . police and
guards using tear gas forced
200 prisoners to surrender Sat
urday night after three hours
of rioting at Deer Island jail.
"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

' They kicked in windows of
cells in the 'east wing, turned
over beds and damaged cell
doors.
Dozens of tear gas shells were

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.

Washington (U.R) Western

It was the worst prison riot
in Milsachusetts since January,
when bank robber Theodore
(Teddy) Green and a group of
other tough convicts staged an
30V& hour rebellion at Massa

Charlestown. . -
Unlike the state prison riot,
Saturday night's outbreak in
volved no hostages, jail officials
said. There was a minor fire
in the prison bakery but it was
speedily put out.
Younger Prisoners
"This one was mostly con
fined to the younger prisoners,"
a spokesman said. -

At the same time more than

Peron Girl Friend
Tells of Receiving
Gems Owned by Eva
Buenos Aires (U.R) Dark-
eyed Nelly Rivas, former Presi
dent Juan D. 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

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.
