senhower s Family iay Play iajor Role in Decision On Second Term pi - I If- H Lyle C. Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.P.) The sub tantial majority of White House news reporters who are con- v i n c e d that President Eis enhower will not run again are much in f 1 u e need by the attitude of the family. Long before Mr. Eisenhow er was strick en, Wash i n g- ton was dis cussing the report that Mrs, Eisenhower opposed a second term. She was said to be sup ported by her son, Maj. John S. Eisenhower, and by her moth er, Mrs. John S. Doud. Reports of the family attitude against a possible second term are solidly founded. All hands, however, do not give the same weight to the influence of the President's family upon his poli: tical decisions. It has been re vealed now that Mr. Eisenhower, has discussed his political future with some of his associates and plans to explore the subject much further with them. He said so last Sunday at Key West. Some of his top political as sociates, among ,who would be several most likely to have been in on the discussions, recently have been getting together to canvass the 1956 prospects. Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, several cabinet members and at least one former Army comrade were parties to the various exchanges. Doors Still Open It was their judgment, perhaps based on ideas of some of them had exchanged with the Presi dent, that his son and women folk would have little to do with his final decision on a sec ond term. It is quite obvious that family opposition has not yet persuaded Mr. Eisenhower to close the . door to another campaign for the White House. He has said he has not finally made up his mind. Now comes James C. Hagerty, presidential secretary, with some carefully chosen words of comment on the fact that Mr. Eisenhower's name will be presented in the Illinois presidential primary. Illinois- Gov. William G. Stratton announced Wednesday that he would enter Mr. Eisenhower as a Republican presidential candi date. , Hagerty said there would be no statement of assent or dissent from the White House on Strat ton's plan. He emphasized, as did Mr. Eisenhower at Key West that no "ultimate decision" has been made-' And, Hagerty added: Announce Exams For Civil Service Jobs Examinations for several civil service' positions were announc ed recently.

The new est scientific contribution to the controversy over what is respon sible for the remarkable rise in lung cancers makes an impress ive case against the polluted at mospheres of industrialized ci ties, and lets cigarette smoking off the hook. Like previous studies, includ ing those- which indicted cigar ette smoking, this one was sta tistical. It was made in New Zealand where there are fewer of the statistical "variables" which weaken studies of such populations as that of the Unitr ed States. In New Zealand the white population came from one place, the British Isles, and so its mem bers are similar in background 'and racial, stock. The native born population is descended from Britishers who went there no earlier (for the most part) than a hundred years ago,; which neatly eliminates another vari able. Total Cancer Deaths David F. Eastcott, assistant director of the National Health Institute of New Zealand, began his study with the total of can cer deaths among white New Zealanders from 1949 through 1953. He divided these between whites who were native born and whites who had been immi grants. ' Now he had two sets of fig ures. He- divided eacn set ac cording to the site of the fatal cancer stpmaclvlung, prostate i gland, breast, "and so on. Then he was ready to compare the two-1 sets. For no site except one was there a statistically significant difference in cancer incidence between native born New Zea landers and the immigrant New Zealanders. The one exception was lung cancer. For all immigrants, the chances of dying of lung cancer were 30 per cent higher than for the native born. For immi grants who went to' New Zea land when 30 years old or older, the chances were 75 per cent BLASTING Burton Abbott's alibi, Mrs. Leona Dezman tes tifies she saw murder trial de fendant in Oakland shortly be fore kidnap-slaying of Stepha nie Bryan, 14.

' Citing per capita tobacco con sumption in the British Isles and New Zealand, he remarked that "differences in habits of tobacco-smoking are unlikely to contribute to this picture." In 50 years beginning in 1900, the New Zealand consumption has always been higher than in the British Isles. . But England and Wales, which contributed most of the immigrants, are heavily indus trialized,' with many industrial cities and towns. New Zealand is very lightly industrialized. Eastcott was emphatic for a statistician. "The conclusion follows that immigrants from Great Britain to New Zealand are affected by their former environment and that this effect is related to the length of exposure in that envir onment,", he said. His findings were "in keeping with what is known of the mode of action of the carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) isolated from the at mospheres of industrial cities." County Librarians To Attend Meeting Two Jackson county librar ians plan to attend a meeting of the Oregon Library associa tion's library development com mittee in Salem this weekend. They are Miss Cora Mason, li brarian at Ashland, and Miss Helen Webster, librarian at Medford. ' Miss Eleanor Brown, librar ian of the " Deschutes County library and chairman of the committee, said the increase, in population in Oregon ' has re suited in inadequate libraries, and a study and active library development program is neces sary. -She noted that in many sections of the state there are no public libraries. The committee recently made a two-year survey of conditions. The committee hopes to ac quaint residents with current library conditions to point to the need for more adequate lo cal library suntjort and to secure legislation for a development program in areas unable 'to establish libraries without aid, Miss Brown said county area committees will be organized soon, and persons in this area interested may contact either Miss Mason in Ashland or Miss Webster in Medford. "That decision he, and he alone, will make." Influence Not Decisive ' The family attitude toward an other four White House years could not fail to have some in fluence with the President. But there is no evidence that family opposition will be controlling. There would be Drecedent for Mr. Eisenhower .to reject family advice to leave the White House while the going was good. The late Robert E. Serwood in his book, "Roosevelt and. Hopkins" recalled that" Mrs. Roosevelt was sturdily opposed to a third term. FDR usually accepted fier ad vice on politics., But not that time. He didn't say yes and he didn't say no right up to the time :. the 1940 Democratic - Na tional Convention was in ses sion. Then Mr. Roosevelt releas ed the hundreds of delegates who had been pledged in pri maries and by state leaders with out either his consent or opposi tion. But the delegates wouldn't shoo away. Although released, they nominated FDR again. It was the best organized spontan eous draft on record. Back there in 1940, as now, the great majority of party leaders wanted the man in the White House to stay put. Surveys Start On Jacksonville Sewer Jacksonville Surveying be gan here recently to determine the feasibility, and possibleilo cation ioi'a city sewage system'. Funds for the survey of the proposed system are being pro vided by the federal housing and Home finance department. If the project is feasible an elec tion will be held. If the people vote for construction of the sew age system, the federal govern ment will be reimbursed by the city for cost of the survey. , The firm of Cornell, Howland, Hays, and Merryfield are doing survey work.
