Cigarettes 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 younger patients had

smoked two packs a day for
no longer than seven and a
half years before developing
lung cancer. 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.

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.
