Cancer Society Said Ready To Link Cancer, Cigarette Smoking New York (U.F) The Ameri can Cancer Society is preparing to lay that there is a definite re lationship between cigarette smoking and death from lung cancer. The New "York World Telegram 4c Sun reported today. In a copyrighted story by staff writer Paul Phelan, the Scripps Howard newspaper said it had learned authorititatively the so ciety's survey of smoking habits has been completed. The report will show that the lung cancer death rate for habitual cigarette smokers is about 10 times as high as the rate for men who never smoked, the story said. "The report will indicate that the lung cancer death rate of very heavy smokers is about 27 times as night as the rate for men who never smoked," the story said. "The term non-smokers in cludes persons who never smoke cigarettes or those who smoke considerably less than one pack of cigarettes a day. Habitual smokers are those who smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day. Heavy smokers are those who smoke two or more packs of cigarettes a day. Other Disclosures "Furthermore, though process ing of all data has not been com pleted, indications are the re port also will disclose that: "The death rate from all causes, including coronary dis eases, is higher among cigarette smokers than among men who never smoked. "There is a casual relation ship between excessiv cigarette smoking and other forms of can cer. The report will go so far as to analyze this relationship closely in respect to various body sites. "There is casual relation ship between heavy cigartte smoking and other diseases, in cluding such ailments as gastric ulcers." Comparisons Given The newspaper said the report also will give detailed compari sons of death rates from all causes among cigarette smokers, cigar smokers and pipe smokers. It added that it will show that the death rate for lung cancer is very low for those who never smoked and only slightly higher for those who have smoked cigars or pipes. The newspaper said it had learned that the cancer society's next major endeavor will be a study of air pollution. The newspaper said its sources of information said the survey interviewed 193,000 subjects and thereby obtained a study based A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That l HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pin Future Writer Washington (U.R) The armed forces are looking for outside help in the form of inventors. A lot of things need to be invented to 11 ' I keep America strong. The National Inv e n t o r s' Council, work ing under the Department of Commerce, has a zillion things that could be worked over to Improve what we already have. For example, there Is a cry ing need for a new chemical that can melt snow or ice at tempera ture as low as minus 65 degrees. Say there is snow and ice on the runways of an air strip. The snow plows take off most of it, but the film left on the strips could cost a life. The film must be removed. What is. being used right now is calcium chloride. But that has a "corrosive effect on metals." Heated sand is being used, but that is too cumbersome and unwieldy. And neither of these is effective at 8S below. Come on, some inventor! Among other, things that the military wants are odor-measuring devices. Odors aboard a military air craft not only make people sick; they provide a tip that maybe Judges Scanned for Successor To Minfon Washington U.R) President Eisenhower's staff is looking over every sitting judge on the federal district and circuit benches and high state courts to find a successor for retiring Su preme Court Justice Sherman Minton. Minton will leave his Suprme Court post Oct. IS because of poor health. The President repeated at his news conference Thursday his previous statement that appoint ment of a member of the judici ary to the Supreme Court is adviseable. "If you get the man that meets the qualifications that you are looking for, stands out in the opinion of the American Bar Association and all the rest, well then of course he would get it," he said. The President said his staff is looking up "the record of every sitting judge that they can find district courts and circuit courts in the federal and all of the supreme court justices in the states". the plane is in trouble. About the only thing available at present is the human nose. That apparently isn't sensitive enough to detect trouble ahead; something that could prevent a crash. The crew could be done in. Passengers could pass to their reward. Anything that could cor rect this possibility, electron ically, or otherwise, would bring some kind of comeuppance from the military. An invention is in order for something that will preserve canned meats for as long as a year at temperatures of 100 de grees F. It may be quite an order, but the government feels if some body, thinking real hard, could come up with the solution, he might get up in the high money bracket. The above is a long order, which might be hard to fill. Over 100 canned meat items are required which have a "dis tinctly different flavor." These run into various groups from stew to meat and gravy to "pat ties." to meat and fruit, to meat and cereals, to meat and eggs, to spreads, to luncheon meat, pork tongues and chop suey. Nobody has to invent the 100 varieties, including the "suey." That already has been done. It's the business of keeping them fit and smelling right that con cerns the military. Another thing the services would like is a "personal heat ing system." Something that the inventors council describes as a "device that will distribute heat over the human body for expos ures at sub-zero temperatures." This thing, if accepted, must have adjustable heat "in-put" and can be operated eight hours ,4without refueling." It's got to be light of weight. As the council puts it "If the torso is warm enough, normal circulation will keep the ex tremities warm, too." So you hard-thinkers get to work. I have not even scratched the surface of what is needed. Elizabeth's Doctor Killed in Accident London UR Sir William Gilliatt. the doctor who attended Queen Elizabeth at the birth of Prince Charles and Princess Anne was killed Thursday night in an automobile accident near London.

Maiusow Handed Five-Year Prison Term for Perjury New York (U.PJ Harvey Matusow, turnabout Communist witness, was sentenced today to five years in prison for perjury in attempting to link a federal prosecutor to his lies. Federal Judge John F. Mc Gohey sentenced Matusow to five years on each of five counts of perjury on which he was 'Con victed. He ordered that the sen tences be served concurrently. Matusow, who once said he in vented a "stringless yo-yo," told the court before sentencing that he was sorry for having been such a liar. Didn't Help Procedure "I did something which did not help the judicial procedure of this country," he said. Matusow said he'd take what ever sentence was imposed "and serve it, then rejoin my family." He had testified at one point during his trial that . he was "lying even when I was telling the truth." "I'll never have to be ashamed of anything I've done from this day forward," he said. Matusow spent the night in the federal house of detention after failing to raise an additional $7,000 to make his $10,000 b.il.

He said the program which concentrates on helping families on small farms is "hitting at the point of greatest need." Answer To Democrats , The Administration, faced by a reported farm belt revolt over price policies, is banking on the program as an answer to Demo cratic campaign charges that the Republicans have ignored the plight of small farmers. The President received a re port on the program's initial phases at a White House confer ence with members of an inter departmental committee of un dersecretaries. The report, presented by Un dersecretary of Agriculture True D. Morse, was signed by Agri culture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son. Benson said the program would help small farm families "to attain greater opportunities in an expanding economy." Peace Bigger Issue Meanwhile, Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt.) said that among farmers peace is a far bigger election issue than farm prices. The Senate Agriculture Commit tee's ranking Republican mem ber disputed the farm belt re volt reports, saying that "war or peace" is the paramount issue and farmers will support the administration. Uniform Vehicle Laws Considered Denver (U.R) The National Governors Conference's commit tee on highway safety convened today to plan uniform motor ve hicle laws in all 48 states.
