The report made public Satur day was prepared by Dr. Harold F. Dorn, chief statistician for the National Institute of Health, a part of the Health Service. It was drafted for delivery Tuesday to the Seventh International Cancer Con gress in London. Dr. Dorn summarized death rates among 198,926 holders of U.S. government life insurance policies. These persons served in the armed forces between 1917 and 1940. They were aged from 30 to 90. with the majority between 50 and 70.

The deaths were re lated statistically in the report to the smoking habits of the veterans. Of those who died 6 203 were listed as smokers and 1,179 as non- smokers. The main findings that smokers had a death rate 32 per cent high er than nonsmokers and that smok ers of cigarettes alone had a rate -t8 per cent higher than nonsmok ers, were supplemented by these other points in Dorn's report: The lung cancer rate for regu lar smokers of cigarettes only was about 10 times the death rate for nonsmokers. The death rates among regular cigarette smokers were closely re lated to the amount smoked. For example, death rates of persons who smoked more than 40 cigarettes a day were much high er than those of persons who smoked fewer than 10 cigarettes a day. The death rate of persons who regularly smoked cigars and or pipes was not significantly higher than that of nonsmokers.
