President Will Discover U.S; Prestige Up In lndiaUntrrd? LAKKV1KW Water supply By THOMAS R. Cl'RRAN I'PI Vice President NEW DF.LHI (LTD Presi dent Kisenhower will find in his five-day vLsit here that U.S. pres tige in India has skyrocketed to its highest point in the history of the two countries. Red China's Premier Chou-Kn-lai can take part of the credit. The shock of the Tibetan revolt and Red China's creeping aggres sion against India's borders have opened Indian eyes and lent a sense of urgency to the Presi dent's five-day visit. This, and Eisenhower's role in the seeming thaw of the cold war in Europe, add up to a warm welcome for the President, whom the villagers call "a man of peace from the land of multi-millionaires." Observers will be interested in comparing the warmth of Ike's reception with the enthusiastic welcome Nikita Khrushchev andj( (he chl,rch does n0( prolnise Nikolai Bulganin received when they barnstormed this country for three weeks in JiH.i. Indira Gandhi, daughter of In dian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, told United Press Interna tional she hoped Ike's reception would be as big as the Russians. But she noted the shortness of the President's slay. She is Nehru's official hostess and she forecast a "very warm" reception for the President dur ing his stopover. In an exclusive interview she told me "the entire country has been wailing lor ani Eisenhower visit. Would Ike's reception match the IMS welcome for Khrushchev, and Bulganin? "I certainly hope so." Mrs. Gandhi replied. But it would he hard to com pare the occasions, she said, be cause the Russians were the first important foreign visitors ever re ceived by independent India, ana they stayed longer. Chinese encroachment on the Indian frontier has made Che In dians appreciative of the friend ship of the United States and America's military might. Nor is United Slates' friendship for Pakistan so deeply resented now as a year ago , when India and Pakistan grimly faced each other as enemies. Explanations that American defense expendi tures in Pakistan were strictly a Communist deterrent now are making sense in Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta. India is expected to ask for more economic aid, thereby free ing scarce foreign exchange for an, anticipated increase in defense expenditures to meet Ihe Chinese aggression. The President's unofficial pro gram calls for his arrival here on the afternoon of Dec. 9 from Karachi. Pakistan, and Kabul, Af ghanistan. On Dec. 10 he will visit President Rajenda Prasad and address a joint session of the In dia parliament. On Dec. 11 he will receive a doctorate at Delhi University at a special convocation, and later will open Ihe American exhibition at the World Agricultural Fair with his most important address in Asia. The day of Dec. 12 w ill be con fined to sightseeing, and on Dec. 13 he will go to church and then fly to Agra. 30 minutes by air from Delhi, to see the Taj Mahal The next day he will visit an In 2 Brothers Get Together HONOLULU (AP - By being mistakenly identified as dead, Thomas R.

Churches Facing Tough Tasks PORTLAND (AP) - The task ahead for churches is fraught with hardships and problems, the Oregon Council of Churches was told here Thursday. Dr. Hughes Pruden, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Wash- inrttnn D C accprlpd "Tho laik ecurity."

Test Planting Service Told I Test planting service for uncer- tified potatoes is available to Klamath County growers again t his winter, according to the coun- ly agent's office. Greenhouse space presently oc cupied by certified lots becomes available for commercial lots as certified lots are removed. The Klamath County Agent's Of fice has been advised that some commercial lots might be plant ed in December. Reports might be expected in March. The service is offered on a fee basis. A $15 fee for a 4O0-tuber sample covers costs of prepara tion, planting, growing and inspec tion. County Agent Walt Jendrzejew- ski stresses the point that the greenhouse test is only as reliable as the sample is representative of the lot. The agent reports that leafroll spread has reduced the local sup ply of certified netted gem seed. He slates that virus spread last season makes test planting desir able for any commercial lot which might be held for seed use.

Legion Ousts Tun-Lovers' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI) -The American Legion expelled its fun-loving affiliate, the 40 and 8, Friday because it barred non- white veterans from membership. National Legion Commander Martin B. McKneally kicked out the organization after several weeks of conference with the af filiate's officers over the "whites only" clause in the 40 and 8 con stitution. In a letter lo John Hobble, of Liberal, Kan., 40 and 8 presi dent, McKneally said he took the action because of "the illegality which exists in the 40 and 8 mem bership requirements." Hobble reached by United Press International in Topeka. Kan., refused to comment on the o.ister until he receives McKneally's letter. McKneally's action was a fol low-up of a resolution passed at Ihe Legion convention in Minnea polis last August, urging the 40 and 8 to review its discrimina tion clause. Opponents of the clause com plained it was un - American to block Negro, .Nisei and other non white veterans from membership in the 100,000-member society. "We recognized and accepted this action," Hobble said. "We said we'd bring it up at the next national convention scheduled in October. I960, at Miami." But McKneally ended the Le gion's 30-year association with the 40 and 8 with his notice that the organization's revocable license, issued in 1952, "is now revoked." McKneally also ordered the 40 and 8 "to discontinue immediately the use of the American Legion em blem and the name, 'the Amcri can Legion'. ".

(AP) There wal fresh fuel today for a dispute be tween medical and tobacco indus try researchers over what consti tutes a link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking. New anatomical evidence showj a direct relation between abnor mal tissue changes which precede cancer, as well as lung cancer itself, and the number of ciga rettes smoked, a scientist told the American Medical Assn. Friday. His report drew immediate fire from the Tobacco Research Com mittee. Its spokesman declajjct that numerous other experts not agree with the finding. Dr. Oscar Auerbach, chief of laboratory service at the. Veteran! Administration Hospital in East Orange, N.J., made these point! in a report to an AMA clinical gathering: Studies of 17,597 lung tissue samples from 402 men who died in VA hospital "seem to us to indicate that cigarette smoking ii today a major factor in the causa tion of lung cancer." Sixty-three of the deaths result ed from lung cancer. All 63 men smoked tobacco, and 60 used cigarettes. Of the 3.19 patients dying from other causes, 238 had smoked hall a pack or more cigarettes a day. Lung tissue, from this group showed cell changes which "prob ably represent a change toward cancer." Few changes appeared in lung cells of 55 who smoked little or none. Auerbach, who also is an asso ciate professor at New York Med ical College, drew a conclusion that lung cancer and conditions leading to it "depend almost com pletely on the number of ciga rettes smoked." He added that this opinion agrees fully with previous evi dence based on extensive statis tical studies. Those who worked with Dr. Auerbach included Dr. Arthur Purdy Stout of Columbia Univer sity and Dr. E. Cuylcr Hammond of the American Cancer Society. Taking issue with Auerbach and his staff was Dr. Robert C. Hock ctt of the Tobacco Research Com mittee, which has an exhibit at the AMA meeting here.
