Cancer Society Expert Says Smoking Causes Lung Cancer; Has Effect on Other Diseases
Washington W An Ameri
can Cancer Society expert told
congressional investigators to
day that cigarette smoking is a
cause of lung cancer and has
a "severe effect" on a number
of other diseases.
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.

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

Austin said Leopold could win
