Opening Os Ancient tomb Proves Fizzle Mummy Missing In Egypt Sarcophagus CAIRO (INS) — Egyptain archeologists. dismayed but not defeated by the biggest scientific fixxle of the year, are mapping plans for a further .search through a 5,000-year-old pyramid for the missing mummy of an ancient pharaoh. They had hoped, to find the nfammy, together with ancient treasures and secrets of the misty ninth djiiasty, in a reddiidi alabaster sarcophagus uncovered (May 31. But when the ornate sarcophagus was opened Sunday after nearly a month of breathless anticipation it proved tp be empty. The saddened scientists announced that the ancient tomb would be closed at the end of this month and excavation work resumed in October in an effort to find the missing mummy. The ancient aacropbagus was unearthed by Dr. Zakaria Goneim, chief inspector of the Egyptian Antiquities department, who found an

unfinished pyramid arid burrowed under it to the burled funeral chamber. Goneim believed he might have fou|d the oldest, untouched tomb ever uncovered In ®gypt. He speculated that the sarcophagus might contain the mummy of King Sanakhet, a ninth dynasty pharaoh whose brief reign occurred some 2,700 years before Christ. After eight “hours of underground work Sunday a shaken Goneim emerged from the tunnel leading to the toirib and said: > "There is nothing to report. We hre greatly disappointed." Archeologists believe there are two possible explanations for the missing mummy: 1. Ancient grave robbers dug their way Into the tomb years, or eveir centuries before Goneim discovered it and made off with its riches. - 2. The empty sarcophagus was deliberately designed as a decoy by the ancient priests of Egypt, who hid the carefully embalmed body of theih dead ruler in yet another secret chamber. -Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 'tis only noble to he good.—Tennyson.

States Cigarette Smoking Ages Man Extensive Research Reported By Doctor WASHINGTON (INS) — Dr. C. Cuyler Hammond, American cancer society director of statistical research, said today that cigarette smoking “ages a man five years” and announced he has switched to a pipe. Hammond said this is his conclusion based on an extensive research he has been conducting Involving health histories of 187,766 smokers «■ smokers. He made a report on his findings last week to the American medical association at San Frroatsco. Hammond declared "S copyrighted interview in the magazine U, S. News and World Report that the chances of somebody dying of a heart attack was increased 95 percent by smoking a pack or more of cigarettes a day. He added that the chances of dying of cancer were Increased by 156 percent. The research director, a professor of biometrics at Yale university, stated that “smoking a cigarettes causes a rise in blood pressure, a rise in heart rate, and a constriction of the small vessels.” He said the study also showed that the death rate runs much higher for people who smoke a pack a day or more than for non-; •smokers, in the following ratio: death from all causes, 75 percent above non-smokers: death from heart disease, 95 percent above non-smokers; death from all types of cancer, 156 percent above nonsmokers; and death from lung cancer, 460 percent or more above non-smokers. —Hammond asserted that “there is no doubt" hilt that pipe and cigar smoking are less dangerous to health than cigarettes. Hammond stated that in the people checked, the total death rate from cancer was about two and one-half times higher in persons who smoked a pack or more daily as in those who had never smoked. The magazine stated that there has been a 456 percent increase in smoking by the average American in the past 33 years. It 1 said that in 1920, the average American 15 or over smoked 630 cigarrettes or 31 packages, while in 1951' he smoked 3,500 cigarettes or 175 packs. Hammond said that the cancer society's survey, which covered white men aged 50 through 69, revealed that actual deaths exceeded expected deatji* by 319 among those who, smoked a pack or more a day. « He said the expected number of deaths (if they had died at , the. same rate as men who never smoked) was 426, while the actual number of deaths was 745. Renew Search For Bodies Os Missing Giant Wave Smashes Chicago's Shoreline CHICAGO (INS) — Four divens using “frogmen” equipment and U.S. coastguardsmen employing grappling hooks renewed a -search in Lake Michigan today for the bixiies of three fishermen believed drowned when-a giant wave smashed into 30 miles of Chicago’s shoreline. The bodies of three other men and the mother of 11 children have been recovered since the wall of water suddenly crashed over piers, Jetties, and sea walls and swept scores oC fishermen and bathers into the lake Saturday. (Eleven men and a woman earlier reported missing subsequently returned to their homes. The wave, technically known as a “seiche,” is a rare natural occurence caused -when two conflicting pressure areas collide over water. The Chicago weather bureau explained that the collision causes air to press down on the water and pushes out “tidal wave-like disturbances."
