Physicians Point to Value of Chest X-Ray Because of the emphasis on cancer control during April, lo cal physicians today pointed out the value of the chest x-ray clin ic in detecting early cancer of the lung.

The Oregon Democrat said he had been told that BPA had sent out "one-sided propaganda" on the Al Sare na case Supplied by Inferior Ewing, who has resigned to work for the nomination of Douglas McKay to the U. S. Senate, said in a statement: "This material was supplied by the Department of Interior in Washington as a part of our nor mal function of defending the department against unwarrant ed charges and misrepresenta tions. It went out in BPA envel opes simply because envelopes ordered for the regional infor mation office had not yet arriv ed from Washington.

The design for a "Welcome to Jackson County" roadsign was decided upon. Committees are to be appointed to get permission to erect signs on the major highways leading into Jackson county and to select posts upon which the signs can be erected. Major topic of discussion was the various methods by which exhibits may be judged. Individ ual judging (one exhibit against another), or group judging' in which the exhibit is rated against an ideal, are the two major types of judging. Carolyn Tiegs Reporter Sis-Q-Clubs The Sis-Q 4-H meeting was held March 28, at the Bellview Grange hall. Four summer school scholar ships will be given by the Sis-Q 4-H club.

Connection Denied Dr. William Pearl, BPA chief, said BPA had no connection with mailing of the information. Ewing said he sent out a docu ment prepared by an ex-interior solicitor answering accusations by C. Girard Davidson, Port land, a former Democratic In terior Department official. "I think the department is justified in defending itself against re marks being made for political purposes,' Ewing said. He said it was not "propaganda." Illinois Vote Gives No Clear indication of Stevenson Power Washington (U.R) A d 1 a i E. Stevenson's presidential cam paign was given a shot in the arm today by the Illinois Demo cratic primary turnout. But with about half of Illinois registered voters shunning the polls yesterday, the results gave no clear indication of whether Stevenson, former governor of the state, could carry it over Mr. Eisenhower next November. Results Not Comparable While still watching for 1956 clues, politicians were disinclin ed to read much significance in to the Illinois voting. Inasmuch as voters may not cross party lines in the Illinois primaries, the results are not comparable to earlier primaries in Minneso ta and Wisconsin. While the primary vote was very light in both parties, the incomplete results indicated that the Democrats had increased their share of the vote over the primaries in 1952, when 39 per cent of the vote was cast on the Democratic side. In Texas last night, there were other developments which can have a major impact on the De mocratic convention. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson announced that he was willing to go to the convention as Texas' favorite son candidate for the presidential nomination and as head of the big Texas delegation. Pressed by Rayburn Johnson was pressed" into th Texas picture by House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who, like John son, wants the delegation to stick with the Democratic par ty next November. However, Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas, who headed the 1952 delegation and then helped car ry the state for President Eisen hower, immediately accepted the Rayburn-Johnson challenge. Accusing Rayburn of trying to dictate to Texas democrats, he said he would head the delega tion if the state convention wants him. Drowning takes the lives ,-of about 5,000 Americans per year.
