tistical Increase due to better diagnoses.in recent decades. Dr. M. Pascua, directorof WHO’s division of health statistics, said a number of reputable pathologists “hold the view that a real increase, even i's generally' a slow one, has actually taken place in modern times.” The report said a "spectacular rise” in deaths from cancer of the lung in the last 20 years, particularly among men, contributed heavily to the general increase. Smoking was cited as an "important factor” in cancer of the lung. - WHO quoted a 1950 investigation of lung cancer carried out by the medical research council of England and Wales which suggested that "above the age of 45 the risk of developing cancer of

the lungs increases in simple I proportion with the - amount smoked.” . The London report said this I risk "may 'be approximately 50 | times as great among those who I smoke 25 or more cigarettes a I day as among non-smokers.” Another factor in the “extraordiJ nary” rise, it said, may be proI longed exposure to industrial I fumes and automobile exhausts. » WHO said the death rate from cancer and other malignant tumors is now 187.2 per 100,000 in the population of England and Wales as compared with a 1901 figure of only 84.2. Statistics from almost every other country showed the same doubling of death rates. The statistics for the United States showed an all-timfe high of 138.9, compared with G 6.4 per 100,000 in 1901.

Stevenson Backer Says Chances Slim Doubts Name Will Be Put In Nomination CHICAGO, UP —lllinois Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson’s chances for winning the Democratic presidential nomination are becoming "very, very slim,” according to one of his strongest backers. \ Jacob M. ArVey, democratic national from Illinois, said last night on| bn NBC television hookup that he “doubted" whether anyone would put Stevenson’s nanfe in nomination at the party’s convention next week.” “I don't think the convention will nominate Stevenson unless it receives some indication'from him, and I don’t think that indication will come,” Arvey said. “He is not a candidate and he wants .to be taken out of the picture. His chance of nomination under those conditions are very, very slim.” However, Arvey added that he was patriot that Governor Stevenson is, he would not say no to the convention” if a draft developed. The Chicago Democratic leader said an “honest, genuine, spontaneous draft” movement already has started with establishment of a Stevenson-for-President headquarters here. . But “not one threestamp” has been spent to line tip delegate votes for the governor, Arvey said. Thousands of persons have asked Stevenson to make the race although the governor has said repeatedly that he only is interested in reelection as the state’s chief executive, he said. Arvey emphasized that Stevenson is his personal choice for the nomination, adding “I have never in my life met a man with the intellectual integrity and profouna ability of Adlai E. Stevenson,” , Arvey also said he had “no

Steel Strike Talks Stymied By Union Shop ] Industry And Union Talks Collapse On Union Shop Issue PITTSBURGH, UP — Dr. John R. Steelman, acting director of defense mobilization, was expected to make a second effort today to settle the nationwide steel stlike which has idled 1,250,000 workers across the nation; A two-hour conference arranged by Steelman Tuesday between Philip Murray, president of the United Steelworkers, CIO, and Joseph M. Larkin, vice president of Bethlehem Steel, collapsed over the union shop issue. Larkin blamed collapse of the latest talks on the Steelworkers' insistance for a “compulsory” union ship. He claimed the union would not discuss other issues until the union shop issue had been solved. Murray countered the company charges bji branding the industry’s latest offer “inadequate and unsatisfactory.” He also accused the steel companies \of handing \out “distorted propaganda.” An industry statement revealed the union had been offered wage increases averaging 16 cents an hour, six paid holidays, iniprqved vacations and increased shift differentials. The grimness of the situation became apparent immediately after the talks broke off. Murray immediately called for a meeting of the? union’s 175-nian ; wage policy committee so meet here next Monday for what was tantamount to a vote of confidence. The powerfol committee was expected to back Murray by voting overwhelmingly in favor of continuing the strike of the 600,000 steel and iron ore workers. i

Two Pilots Add To Flying Saucer Lore Airline Pilots Tell Os Eight Huge Dises ■ MIAMI, Fla. UP — Two veteran airline pilots added to the flying saucer lore today accounts of seeing eight huge discs zipping in formation at supersonic speed near Norfolk, Va. > Pilots W. B. Nash. 35, and W. H. Fortenberry. 30. of Pan American Airways, said the “glowing, orange-red" saucers maneuvered too sharply for human endurance at a speed of “far above 1,000 miles per hour.” \ ■ • “Whoever was in those things.” the pilots declared, "had capabilities far beyond our own. Those things absolutely did not contain any iiuman beings as we, know them.” While Nash and Fortenberry were referring to the “centrifugal force” of turns at such speeds re 7 ports of the navy’s tests with its refrigerated "Skyrocket” disclosed another major probletii is heat generated by friction w ; ith the air, Nash and Fortenberry said they were flying their DC-4 with 10 company officials aboard southward between Newport News, Va.. and Norfolk night before last when six of the, saucers appeared 6,000 feet below them. "Giving consideration to the difference in our altitude and theirs we judged they were approximately 100 feet in diameter and between 10 to 15 thick,” Nash said. _“As they neared us they appeared to be solid bodies of light, but they had definite outlines.” I •
