Left to right are Dr. Richard Over holt, Boston, Mass.; Dr. Victor Kaumltz, Buffalo, N.Y., and Attorney James McArdle. (UPI Telephoto) ,But that is difficult to prove, Dr. Richard H. Over holt said In Federal Court Thursday, because, "we're having a hard time getting a mouse to smoke like a man." He said the repugnance of mice to smoke make labora tory tests difficult. A witness in the $1,250,000 suit against Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co., Dr. Overholt testified there was "no ques tion that inhaling of tobacco smoke is the largest single factor In the causation of this type of lung cancer." Otto Pritchard, 61, a Pitts burgh cabinet maker, is suing the big tobacco firm, contend Wisconsin Found Pleasing To Oregon Delegation By ROBERT A. SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - To most members of the Oregon con gressional delegation, the Wisconsin primary was a lit tle like Christmas morning. They each found in It a dif ferently shaped package from j which they extracted a hap py surprise. Rep. Edith Green was Jub ilant over the heavy victory margin of Sen. John F. Ken nedy over Sen. Hubert Hum phrey. But Rep. Charles O. Por ter was convinced that Hum- HANDSOME 7 p 'in Ss. NEW PROTECTION AGAINST SUN AND, . WEATHER that rolls un and down ta glx 1 when you nant it. '. Cigarette Smoking ing he contracted lung cancer after smoking Chesterfield cigarettes, manufactured by Ligget and Myers, for more than 25 years. Dr. Overholt, chief chest surgeon at the Overholt Thor acic Clinic, was one of two re searchers to testify Thursday in the cancer-cigarette trial, which would set a legal prece dent In placing the blame for cancer. Dr. Williom Kremer, the doctor who diagnosed Prltch ard's case here in 1953, testi fied that every patient he treated for epidermoid cancer, had a history of heavy smok ing. Primary phrey had demonstrated so much last minute strength that another week of cam paigning and he might have turned the tables. Rep. Walter Norblad fig ured that Vice President Nix on, while running third in t h e field, proved strong enough to call the movers to get set to haul his things down to the White House. All Highly Partisan It should be noted that all three of these lawmakers are highly partisan in their poli tical analyses these days. Mrs. Green is chairman of the Ken nedy committee in Oregon. Porter has come out for Humphrey. And Norblad is an old crony of Nixon's. Another Oregon partisan was strangely silent. Sen. Wayne Morse, unlike his Joy ous colleagues, found the Wis consin results merely "inter esting." Morse of course, is partisan in behalf of Wayne Morse for President, and against all those other fel lows. Rep. Al Ullman, who won't say who he Is for in the Demo cratic free-for-all, thought aft er the smoke had cleared in Wisconsin that the contest for the nomination was pretty much where it had been be fore. Morse originally had been tantalized by the thought of entering this primary in his native slate. Before declaring openly his own candidacy, Morse had said here and there that he thought Wisconsin Gov. Gaylord Nelson was i good darkhorse prospect. Sub sequently Jack Churchill, a Morse enthusiast from Port land, made a swing into Mad ison to sound out Gov. Nel son's people about Morse's prospects. They say they weren't very encouraging. Anyway when he announc ed he was staying out, Morse explained it was for the lack of funds to conduct a cam paign In Wisconsin. Morse, who has been call ing Kennedy a "half-a-loat liberal," has been arguing that Kennedy won't be able to defeat Nixon and shouldn't be nominated if the Demo crats want to win the eleo tion. Mrs, Green took great com fort In the big vote Kennedy piled up - greatest statewide vote for any man In Wiscon sin history with the single ex ception of President Roose velt In his 1836 landslide against Gov. Alf Lundon. Aqainst Coalition And, she argued, It was not simply against Humphrey, coming from next door Min nesota, but it was against "a Rockefeller Avoids Nixon (Indorsement Governor Calls For Election of All Republicans Jamestown, N.Y. -(UPD- Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller Thurs day night avoided endorsing Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the Republican Presidential nomination but called for the election of a Republican in the November election. Rockefeller also refused to rule out the possibility of his being drafted for the nomina tion. But he told newsmen "I think the possibility is very remote." Praises Ike Rockefeller praised Presi dent Eisenhower's leadership in his speech at a county Re publican committee dinner, and said the nation has been "blessed with eight years of peace and prosperity. He stressed that New York, with 45 electoral votes, "must be in the Republican column if the Republican party is to retain the national leadership In November. He also called for the eleo tion of all Republican candi dates at all levels of govern ment. Doesn't Follow Trends Trends and issues in the November election would af fect New York, the governor said, but he added "New York has proved before that it does not necessarily follow nation al trends; rather it has proved It is a leader in creating na tional trends." Asked by newsmen if he would accept an invitation to deliver the GOP Convention keynote speech, he said, "It's too far in the future to think about that." He also reiterated his dis interest in running as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. coalition of forces that went to stop Kennedy." Congressman Norblad, on the other hand, found Repub lican reassurances in the Nix on vote by comparing it with what happened in Wisconsin in 1948. That year, he noted the party situation was just the reverse. President Tru man was running unopposed on the Democratic side, while the big contest was on the Republican side. Truman got only 80,000 votes in that primary, said Norblad, but he went on to win the presidency in Novem ber. Nixon got roughly three times as great a vote as Tru man, so what does it matter that both Humphrey and Ken nedy outdistanced him? Norblad and Ullman aren t planning to do any campaign ing in Oregon this spring be fore the May 20 primary. But Morse and Mrs. Green will all be In there pitching, each for the man he thinks would make the best president.

West Willing To Sign Pact With East Germany Washington-OIPD-The West ern Allies were reported to day willing to sign a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany if the people there voting in a free election under International supervi sion say they want it that way. Authoritative sources said this will be the reply of the United States, Britain and France to Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev if he repeats at next month's summit con ference his demand for sepa rate peace pacts with the two Germanies. The Idea of calling Khrush chev's hand was said to have originated with Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, who doubts seriously that the Soviet leader will agree to such a procedure when the chips are down. , ' Even if he does, American officirs are convinced that the East Germans would re ject the idea of separate treaties if they could express their choice free from Soviet pressure.
