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.
Lung cancer may be detected
by a chest x-ray before there are
symptoms and before the pa
tient is aware he has the disease,
according to Dr. A. E. Merkel,
county health officer.
Early diagnosis is the key to
treatment of most cancer if
complications are to be pre
vented, he said.
The x-ray clinic is open each
Thursday at the Sacred Heart
hospital between 2 and 5 p.m.

4-H Club News
Jackson County 4-H Council
The regular meeting of the
Jackson County 4-H Council
was held at Bigham hall on the
fairgrounds on April 9.
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.

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.
