Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, the society'i research director, said "evidence that smoking is a seri ous health hazard has been ac cumulating slowly since about 1915." 'Overwhelming' Evidence He said recent studies have produced "overwhelming" evi dence that cigarette smoking "is causative factor of great im portance in the occurrence of lung cancer." He said there has been an "alarm&ig trend in the death rates from lung' cancer," with the number of death rising from 2.500 in 1930 to an estimated 29.000 in 1956. Hammond said cigarette smok ing "causes an increase in deaths from heart disease and has a "severe effect" on patients with He also said "there is evidence that smokiig has an effect on death rates from respiratory dis eases other than lung cancer. Dr. Clarence Cook Little, chairman of the scientific ad visory board to the tobacco in dustry's research committee, challenged the claims of a cause-and-effect relation between smoking and lung cancer. In prepared testimony. Little said: "Non-smokers get lung can- peptic ulcers and Buerger's dis- cer. The vast majority of heavy ease. 'smokers never get lung cancer. Illinois Parole Board Meets To Decide on Leopold's Freedom Bid Obviously there is no simple cause-and-effect mechanism re sulting from cigarette smoking." Earlier, Rep. Iris F. Blitch (D Ga.) said Subcommittee Chair man John Blatnik (D-Minn.) has assured her that he is for the tobacco growers and has no wish to penalize them in anv way. Mrs. Blitch said Blatnik told her his subcommittee hearings are not intended to effect to bacco price supports. Neuberger Offers Bill &en. Richard I.. a bill that would cut off farm price supports and soil bank payments to tobacco growers. Neuberger, a non-smoker, said it was ridiculous for the govern ment to warn Americans about alleged dangers of smoking while spending millions of dol lars to support tobacco growing. An Agriculture Department spokesman called Neuberger's bill "completely unrealistic." Should Corn Be Penalized "If we penalize tobacco be- Neuberger I cause of a possible health dan- (D-Ore.) Wednesday introduced I ger, are we going to penalize corn because we make bourbon whiskev out of that grain?" he said. Blatnik said his subcommit tee hopes to determine during six days of hearings whether the public is "being fooled" about the protection afforded to smokers by "filters." He said the subcommittee wants to determine whether manufacturers have made "false and misleading advertising" about filter cigarettes and, if so, why federal agencies haven't cracked down. Springfield. 111. Wl The Illinois Pardon and Parole Board met today in a session thae could start notorious "thrill killer" Nathan Leopold on the road to freedom. Leopold. 52, has spent 33 years behind bars for one of the most memorable crimes in American history the senseless murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks. Now in poor health with heart trouble and diabetes, Leopold last week appealed to the board for executive clemency so he could spend his remaining years a free man. "I earnestly beg of you to show me the mercy I did not show," he wrote In his last-ditch Kpeal. "I beg you to permit me to spend my. few remaining years in the free world." Board Chairman Franklin U. Stranskv met with his aides Wednesday in preparation for today's formal meeting of the five-man group. Stransky said Leopold's ap peal was on the board's agenda for the closed meeting. The board's recommendation will be presented to Gov. William G. Stratton. who alone has the power to grant Leopold's plea. Decision to Come The recommendation will not b made public for weeks, until after ' Stratton acts. The gov ernor is not required to follow the board's recommendation. There was no indication here as to how the board would rule, but Illinois Paroles Superintend ent T. Edward Austin hinted Leopold "could be freed" in a matter of weeks. Austin, who is not a member of the board, said the board's membership has changed and California.! Drowns In Bandon Accident Bandon flfl David Charles Coburn, 32, Long Beach, Calif., was presumed drownwed about 10:45 p.m. Tuesday when a 10 foot skiff in which he was fish ing with a companion capsized. Coburn and his companion, Franz Shindler, Bandon, were pulling in a herring net in the i its decision now could "go either way." Previous boards refused to grant parole in 1953 and re jected appeals for reconsiders tion twice since. in a statement to newsmen at a convention in Denver, Colo. Austin said Leopold could win freedom if Stransky voted for him and tipped the board into a 3-2 decision in Leopold's favor. Among those supporting Leo pold's plea last week were poet Carl Sandburg, mystery writer trie Stanley Gardney and au thor Meyer Levin, who wrote the novel 'Compulsion," which is based on the Franks case. Several of Leopold's Univers ity of Chicago classmates also backed his appeal Leopold and his closest friend. Richard Leob, both wealthy and brilliant college students, de cided to commit a perfect crime Coquille river when their small j for thrills. They kidnaped Bob boat overturned. Shindler clung to the boat and Coburn apparently tried to swim to shore. The cries of the men were heard by men on the Cynthia Olson, moored several hundred yards away.

Coburn is survived by his wife in Long Beach, to whom he had made a telephone call just be fore going fishing. -- by Franks, son of family friends killed him in a car and disposed of his body in a culvert near Chicago. The two were caught and were sentenced to life plus 99 years. Leob was killed in a brawl at Stateville Penitentiary in 1936. Former Gov. Adlai E.
