EIGHT WtBTORD (ORZGOm MAIL TRIBUNE rrtday. Mareh 22. 1957 i Health Agency Report Said To Definitely Link Cancer, Smoking Atlanta U.R) The Atlanta Constitution revealed in a copy righted story today a report sponsored by four national health agencies which says flat ly that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. The Constitution said the re port, "highly confidential and not yet released officially, estab lishes the most positive link t)und by any scientific group to date" between cigarette smok ing and lung cancer. Heart Disease Unlinked But the report said no con vincing evidence was found that smoking is a cause of heart dis ease, according to the Constitu tion. ' The report was made by a study group sponsored by the American Cancer society, the National Cancer Institute, the American Heart association, and the National Heart Institute, the Constitution said. A group of seven of the na tion's leading scientists has ap proved of the report but the four agencies have not yet done so the Constitution said, and they may make minor changes in its final form. "The sum total of scientific evidence establishes beyond rea sonable doubt that cigarette smoking is a causative factor in the rapidly increasing incidence of human epidermoid carcinoma cancer of the lung," the report said. Direct Xelaiionship "Lung cancer occurs much more frequently (5 to 15 times) gmong cigarette smokers than among non-smokers and there is direct relationship between incidence of lung cancer and the g-nount smoked. "It is estimated that on a life time basis one of every 10 men ho smoke over two packs a day ill die of lung cancer. The com rrable risk among non-smokers is one out of 173. The scientists urged in their O report that researchers try to find and if possible eliminate the substance in cigarettes or the cigarette smoke that they believe causes the lung cancer. Negro Wins Fight To Use Library Purcellville, Va. U.R) A Ne gro interior decorator has won his fight to borrow a book on how to make French drapes from the Purcellville public li brary.

He said his taxes helped support the library and Virginia law for bids racial barriers in any libra ry supported by public funds. He threatened to sue. The trustees took the matter to the county supervisors and the town council. Both voted that the library should comply with state law. ' Library Chairman Oscar L. Enirick told the library trustees before they voted that Murray's attorney planned to file suit un less Murray was told by Friday that he could borrow the drape making book.
