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

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.

five years in prison for perjury
in attempting to link a federal

Federal Judge John F. Mc

five years on each of five counts

Matusow, who once said he in

not help the judicial procedure

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

Eisenhower Hails
Agriculture's New
Rural Program
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower today hailed
the Agriculture Department's
new rural development program
as "the first truly broad scale
attack on the problems of low
income farmers."
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.
