Newspaper Page TextCigarettes Said To Outrank Other Causes of Lung Cancer New York - (UPB - Outdoor work, heavy drinking, and frequent respiratory illnesses are statistically significant in lung cancer but are far out ranked by cigarette smoking, the newest study of the prob lem showed today. Of 300 lung cancer victims whose personal and ancestral histories were minutely in vestigated, about one -fifth were outdoor workers, about one - seventh were heavy drinkers, and one-third were frequently ill of respiratory troubles. But more than nine tenths were cigarette smokers and four-fifths had smoked two packs or more a day for years. The study was made by Drs. Herbert L. Lombard and Leonid S. Snegireff of Har vard University, Tufts Col lege, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. It took seven years and was designed to meet criticism of previous statistical studies of relations between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Such criticism has been made by the tobacco industry and some statisticians. This new study showed that 80 per cent of the victims had smoked more than 9,125 packs of cigarettes, or two packs a day for 12Vi years. But the average lifetime consumption of the group was about 15,000 packs, or 20 years - at two packs a day. It found that the younger patients were among 36 who had smoked less than 5,475 packs in their lifetimes. This was the sole exception to the study's finding that "the total number of packs smoked . . . is the important variable, and it makes no difference wheth er the total effect was ac cumulated over. a short or a long period of time," the sci entists said in reporting to a technical organ of the Ameri can Cancer Society.

The report said this "exception" suggested that persons who started smoking while young were slightly more liable to lung cancer than others. Only eight of the 500 were non smokers and 19 others didn't smoke cigarettes. They smok ed pipes or cigars. Timothey V. Hartnett, chairman of the Tobacco In dustry Research Committee, said he found the reporting "interesting in that it is one survey that shows factors oth er than smoking which are significantly related to the incidence of lung cancer." He noted that Lombard and Snegireff acknowledge that their statistics could not prove that cigarette smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer. This is the position of the Tobacco Industry Research Committee and of many sci entists, he added. Twenty Five Dollars A. Quart for Cherry Fudge Ice Cream ? We don't care who says our Cherry Fudge Ice Cream is worth that much, we're simply not going to charge it. We don't care if every quart of it has six dollars worth of imported Dutch cocoa end twenty-nine dollars worth of cherries in it. In honor of the Centennial (and for a short time only) our Cherry-Fudge Ice Cream will be sold for the next hundred years at the regular price. rJjftjLaJCkiiAy A Snider Cow Woman, 64, Killed In Rear-End Crash Pendleton-(DPD-Mrs. Isabella Craig French, 64, White Swan, Wash., was killed instantly Thursday when the car in which she was riding was struck from behind near here on old Highway 30. Three other persons in the car, Mrs. Amanda Watlamat, 38 also White Swan, and her two children, Steven, 3, and Pamela, 2, were in serious condition in St. Anthony's hospital here. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Pondosa: This iiny Eastern Oregon community, the nearest town to the NEW GEOGRAPHI CAL CENTER of the United States,- was sold: at auction yesterday for $33,925. The property, which was sold as individual units, included a sawmill, ten industrial build ings, a general store, a hotel and 53 Homes, and 280 acres of land. Its half dozen families and a few local ranchers viewed the demise of the community with remorse. TTMMMMMM. Why was Pondosa sold? The answer is interesting. The timber in the area was CUT OUT and so the saw milling MOVED ON. TT'S an old story. In its day, It was a tragic story, its day is rather recent. Three decades ago even TWO decades ago the story of the demise of Pon dosa would have sent shivers running up and down our spines here in the State of Jef ferson, where TIMBER is our biggest basic resource. We would then have looked forward forebodingly to the time when OUR timber would be cut out and the lumber in dustry would have moved on if by then there was any where to move on to. TJUT - Something NEW has been added. This new ingredient in our economy is intelligent conser vation for use. Because of in telligent conservation, our timber is no longer something to be MINED, like the gold of our early days, and when mined FORGOTTEN. Timber now is a CROP. It RENEWS itself just like barley, or pears, or spuds or grass. Because it grows out of the ground and renews itself frmo year to year, it will al ways be Jiere for us to use. So the old fear is gone. Gone for good so long as we use good conservation practices. ANOTHER new ingredient A has been added-FIBER. By converting trees into fi ber, vast new uses for our timber crop have been added. The fiber industry has glow ingly oDtimistic prospects. Its possibilities are unlimited. They're even talking about disposable shirts to be made of paper. You 11 wear em and throw 'em away. They're talk ing of disposable dresses to be made of tough,, stretcnaoie paper and worn once ana then discarded. In the residue from the fiber industry there are valu ta 1 e materials. Competent scientists tell us that a gener ation hence wood chemistry will equal petrochemistry. And so on.

Harriman Urges More Foreign Aid Washington - (UPS - Former New York Governor Averell Harriman urged Congress to day to rewrite President Ei senhower's $3,900,000,000 for eign aid program by provid ing twice as much money for overseas development loans. Harriman, who once di rected the foreign ' aid pro gram, told the Senate Foreign Relations committee the Pres ident's request "does rfot measure up to the critical sit uation we face in the world today." In his prepared statement, Harriman asked the commit tee to approve instead the plan proposed by its chair man, Sen. J.' William Ful bright (D-Ark.). This would put $1,500,000,000 a year into the development loan fund for the next five years. It also would eliminate the fund's de pendence on year-to-year ap propriations by congress. Eisenhower asked $700 mil lion for the loan fund for the 1960 fiscal year starting July 1. Apostolic Envoy To U. S. Arrives New York -(UPD- The Most Rev.
