— 1 1**" • 1,1 Smoking Link j To Cancer Is Termed Strong Expert For Cancer Society Testifies At House Hearing WASHINGTON (UP)—An American Cancer Society expert told Congress today the evidence is overwhelming that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer. The society’s expert. Dr- E. Cuyler Hammond, also said smoking is a cause of death from heart disease. Hammond made the prepared statement as an opening witness at a House Government Operations subcommittee investigation of filter cigarettes. Witnesses also included a spokesman for the tobacco industry research committee which has contended that no cause-and-effect relationship has been established between cigarette smoking and cancer. I Earlier, Rep. Iris F. Blitch (DGa.) said Subcommittee Chairman John Blatnik (D-MinnJ had assured her that he is for the tobacco growers and has no wish to penalize them in any way. Mrs. Blitch said Blatnik told her his subcommittee hearings are not intended to effect tobacco price supports. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (DOre l Wednesday introduced a bill that would cut off farm price supports and soil bank payments to tobacco growers. Neuberger, a nonsmoker, said it was ridiculous for tile government to warn Americans about alleged dangers of smoking while spending millions of doDars to support tobacco growl ing. An Agriculture Department spokesman called Neuberger’s bill •‘completely unrealistic.” “If we penalize tobacco because of a possible health danger, are we going to penalize corn because we make bourbon whisky out of that grain?” he said. Blatnik said his subcommittee hopes to determine during six days of hearings whether the public is ’"T ■ ——- - FRI. & SAT.

I " j w; 1 J. LEE RANKIN, U. S. solicitor general, who had charge of the government’s side of the Girard case before the U. S. Supreme Court, is interviewed after the decision. The court ruled that William S. Girard, the Streator, Hl., GI accused of killing a Japanese wontan in Japan, can be tried by a Jananese court* (International) “being fooled” about the protection afforded to smokers by, “filters.” He said the subcommittee wants to determine whether manufacturers have made "false and misleading advertising” about filter cigarettes and, if so, why federal agencies haven’t cracked down. Blatnik said last week that the subcommittee had received some reports "indicating that many filter cigarettes afford little, if any, protection to the public.” Hammond in his prepared statement made no mention of “filters” but spoke merely of cigarette smoking. “In my opinion the evidence is overwhelming that cigarette smokj ing is a causative factor of great ■ importance in the occurrence of lung cancer,” he said. “This does not imply that smoking is the only cause of lung canter.” He said that “no less than 19 independent studies of the smok:ng habit of lung cancer patients” had been conducted in the United States and other countries. “In every instance,” he said, "a higher proportion of smokers was found among lung cancer patients than among people free of this disease.” Moreover,, he said he believed that “cigarette smoking causes an increase in the death rate from coronary artery disease ” Record Hop Friday Evening At Center A “record hop,” sponsored by the teen council of the Youth and Community center, will be held at the center Friday evening, from 8:30 until 11:30 p.m. John Brecht, of Brecht Jewelry, has donated two door prizes to be given;’ one to a boy, and one to a girl.
