,But that is difficult to

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

A witness in the $1,250,000
suit against Liggett and Myers
Tobacco Co., Dr. Overholt
testified there was "no ques

smoke is the largest single
factor In the causation of this

Found Pleasing To
Oregon Delegation
By ROBERT A. SMITH

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

Rep. Edith Green was Jub

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.

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.
