Rushed to the Wilmington Me morial Hospital, Du Pont died of what physicians described as an aortic aneurysm (rupture 01 a main blood vessel). A younger brother, Irenee, and his sister, Mrs. R. Ft.

LONDON Wl Even' Conservative newspapers larr.hasted Prime Min ister Churchill today for his charge wai uiement Atuee a Labor eov eminent threw away Britain's war ume exenange oi atomlo secrets with the United States. The nominally independent but usually pro-Conservative Times of ixuiaon said yesterday's House of Commons debate on the hydrogen bomb "degenerated into a sterile, angry and pitiful party wrangle- ana uie responsiDUlty was the t-rime Minister's." me Liberal, middle-road News Chronicle said the showing of the 79-year-old government chief in the House may foreshadow his early resignation irom ofilce, something many observers have predicted wouia nappen tnis year. PARTISAN FIGHT The bitter partisan fight in the wake of sir Winston's charge gen erally obscured the action of the House, which on a voice vote caned on Churchill to take "lmme' diate initiative" in seeking fpn. to-face conference wKh Soviet Pre mier Malenkov and President Eisenhower. But the Laborltes did not challenge the government's stand that the timing of such an approach should be left to it. Churchill put the House in' an uproar with hla charge that it was the "responslbllty or misfortune" of Atlee's 1845-51 government that a nitnerto secret 1943 agreement for British-American atomic coo it eration was no longer in effect. QUEBEC CONFERENCE Under the accord, reached nt their Quebec conference in August 1943, Churchill and the late Presi dent Roosevelt set un the two.nn. tlon agency for development of the atomic bomb and agreed that neither would use atomic weapons against a third nation without the other's consent. . Attlee. seething with aneer and backed by a continuous Labor chorus for Churchill to "with draw!" "resign!.", replied that the wartime agreement had been ter minated by Congress' adoption in 1946 of the McMahon Act, which forbids sharing of U. S. atomic se crets with foreign governments. ATOMIC LAW Churchill snapped back that the act's autnor, the late Sen. Brien McMahon (D-Conn), had told him later that the atomic secrets law would not have been written had he known of the secret agreement. Attlee, Churchill Implied, should have let McMahon know about the agreement. In Washington, the White House confirmed that the secret' agree ment had been made in 1943 but emphasized it is "not in effect at the present time." The Conservative Dally Tele graph called it "a pity" that Churchill "should have tried to fix the blame on Mr. Attlee" for post war japsing oi tne Brltlsh-Amer lean atomlo cooperation.

And those who threatened the boycott failed to show up to press their charges. . Oscar Butler, a Cresham horse breeder, said a group he represent ed wanted to race their horses on Oregon tracks. Butler made his remarks at a meeting called by the commission to hear any complaints from breed ers. Earlier Joseph Yoerger of Sandy, president of the breeders' group said the organization would boy cott all Oregon tracks unless the commission met certain demands. These demands were not made public, but it was believed the breeders wanted the commission to fire steward Cecil L. Edwards and Frank Clark, the placing Judge. Yoerger said he would not make any public accusations and did sot appear at the meeting. Or. Frank Menne, commission chairman, reported he had been advised by William P.

LOU WHCHT Decision On Cancer Said Tough One Br FRANK CAREY Associated Press Science Reporter CHICAGO tV-Should a doctor "tell" a patient if he has cancer or should he hide the information from him? A amall group of doctors, Inter viewed separately and at random today at the .annual meeting of the American College of Physi cians, were agreed that there's "no set answer" to the question, admittedly one of the toughest Uwy have to face In practice. The decision largely depends, they said, -on the emotional make up of the patient and each case has to be handled individually. But, In general, according to most of the doctors: 1. If the patient Is an emotion ally stable type who can "take it, then tell him. 2. If he's the type who might "go to pieces" emotionally, don't tel him. As one doctor put it, tell' Ing such a person he has cancer might even lead to suicide. And one of the doctors said it's well to "Individualize" not only for people who have an incurable can cer, but also for those who might have a cancerposslbly curable by surgery, X-ray or radium. "The very word 'cancer' still scares some people," said Dr. George Miller of Long Beach, N. Y.. adding that people of that type should not be told what they have even though the particular cancer might be and actually is cured. A compilation of the ideas of the doctors on why people should be told, if at all possible, is as follows: (1) The personal desire of every one to arrange his own financial and other matters: 2 the possi bility that the patient, knowing his time was relatively short, might want to do something he wanted to do all his life, like take a long trip, or even, as one doctor put it, "be like a friend ot mine who. on learning he had an incurable can cer, decided he'd go back and fin ish out law school'l; and 13) the possibility that the patient might wish to provide an example of quiet courage that would be help ful to others in time of adversity.

I Actor Missed Plain U.S. Food During Europe Stay By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD Wl What does an American miss most alter a yeiu and a half in Europe? "Some good, simple food," re niix: Kirk Douglas. "In France, h, i snent much of my. time, you can get the most elegant food in the world. But after a while you yearn tor a well-prepared, plain dish sucn as you can oniy ci u the United States. J"0l roaav, mined beef and cabbage. A ham burger and milk shake. How, I could have used someinuig us,c thatl" Douglas frankly admits that he went abroad to profit from the tax exemption lor Americans who lived abroad 18 months. He didn't come back with as much pront as he had honed lor: Congress stenned in and changed the law, Bui he does think that the Jaunt was worthwhile in other respects, The actor made three pictures abroad: "The Juggler," "Act or Love" and "Ulysses." He toured throughout Israel, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany and Eng land. He met royalty and the heads of state. He feels that tile whole experience caused him to grow a an actor and as an individual. But most of all. It threw a new light on his native land. "You miss the things you have always taken for granted in this country," he observed. "For in stance, when you're in Europe for a while, you almost forget that the bathroom is a well established in stitution. 'When you come back here, you get a different impression Just from seeing the faces ot the people. Americans seem so much health ier, cleaner and happier. I guess it's because of our standard of living." He added that a trip abroad made him again appreciate the American success story, of which his own life is a notable example. He was born Issur Dsnielovitch in Amsterdam, N. Y. His parents, who also had six daughters, had emigrated from Russia. "II they had stayed there. I would have been a peasant," Tie reflected.
