MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, April 23, IMS 7 A x Dor font Die&-"r7rrr"- In Enrollments at Colleges Expected Portland (IB A Fore east of a 6.8 per cent rise in enrollment next fall at the eight campuses controlled by the State Board of Higher Ed ucation was made at a meeting of the Board here this week. This would bring enrollment at the tax-supported campuses to 21,560. The figures, broken down, predicted 8400 at Ore gon State, 6100 at Oregon; 3500 at Portland State; 935 at Oregon College; 975 at South eern Oregon; 720 at Eastern Oregon; 532 at the Medical School and 348 at the Dental School. The 1958-59 operational budget was placed at $33,945, 000, including $24,192,000 for instruction and general purposes and $9,753,000 for tatewide public services. Budget Deficiency Chancellor John R. Rich ards said the ' new budget would boost salaries for only 133 teachers. He said these raises were accounted for by savings resulting from staff turnovers. Lack of money to add enough teachers was pointed out as a major de ficiency in the budget. Dr. O. Meredith Wilson, president of the University of Oregon, disclosed plans to acquire about 20 acres at the western edge of Eugene for future married student housing.

Navy Photo) Scientist Alarmed By Overconfidence In Lung Cancer Link Deloi Smith BY DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (IP) A world renowned scientist has spoken out -in alarm against "a spirit of overconfi- dence" which is causing sci entists and sci entific organi zations to be lieve cigarette smoking has been proved to be a cause of lung cancer beyond quib ble or doubt. The so-called "proof" is not proof at all, according to Sir Ronald Fisher, professor of genetics at Cambridge Univer sity and until recently visiting professor at Michigan State University, East Lansing. The "proof is statistical and Sir Ronald's renown is in statis tics. He is often called "the father of modern statistics." The alarming thing about this "overconf idence," he con tinued, is that it blocks scien tific research which could either verify or destroy the "proof, and other scientific studies that could really find out why lung cancer rates have increased so much dur ing the past 50 years. Had Detrimental Effect "The worst effect of that overconfidence, so far, is that it seems to have held back the various teams of workers," he said? "They are well supplied with money the British Med ical Research Council is not stinting money on cancer re search and the American can cer Society is obviously ex ceedingly well supplied with money. "And yet, I think nothing but overconfidence that they had found the solution, that they had the game in the bag, could have prevented them from following up more of the other lines of inquiry which are much needed." He pointed to one facet of the British Hill and Doll sta tistical studies' upon which some of the case against cig arette smoking is based. In their very first study, those statisticians asked both cancer patients and patients with other diseases, "Do you in hale?,, Surprisingly, there were fewer inhalers among the former than the latter. On the face of it , you'd think inhalers would be more prone to lung cancer than non-inhalers if cigarette smoking and lung cancer are truly associated. "So," contin ued Sir Ronald. "Our evidence about inhaling is embarrass ing and difficult. It would look as though, if one could make the inquiry by compar ing people who smoke the same number of cigarettes, there would be a negative as sociation between cancer and inhaling. It seems to me that the world ought to know the answer to that question. Another inquiry he thought it was urgent for science to make, was the part the heredi tary make-up of the individ ual plays in his susceptibility (or lack of it) to lung cancer. The statistical studies suggest ed that these genetic differ ences exist, but the suggest ions haven't been followed up. He also was impressed by "the very striking fact that at the same level of cigarette smoking, dwellers in towns have considerably more lung cancers than dwellers in the country." The Hill and Hill reports, as well as the Ameri can Hammond and Horn re ports, showed these differ ences, yet "I don't know any extensive piece of research which has been set on foot to get to the bottom of that im portant difference." Sir Ronald set forth his views in Michigan State Uni versit's "Centennial Review of Arts and Science." Major Crimes Set All-Time Record Washington OH The FBI reported today that major crimes in the United States hit an all-time high last year. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said there were an estimated 2,796,400 major crimes in 1957 one every 11.3 seconds. The figure rep resented' an increase of 233, 250 over 1956. A The FBI's Uniform Crime Report for the nation's police departments showed: Persons under 18 ac counted for 47.2 per cent of the crimes of murder, man slaughter, rape, robbery, ag gravated assult, burglary, lar ceny and auto theft. Arrest of persons under 18 increased 16 per' cent in cities under 25,000 and 8.1 per cent in cities of 25:000 or more. Sonofone Manager Gets Commendation Charles R. Adamson, man ager of the Medford office of the Sonotone corporation, has received a special commenda tion from 1" e president of the firm marking his 20th year with the company. He is one of three district men with the firm more than 20 years. The Medford Sono tone office is located at 839 East Jackson st. Adamson said the hearing aid has progressed from ear trumpets to a one-half ounce unit which fits in the ear. This unit requires no cord bridge or seperate button, he noted.
