Excessve Cigarette Smoking Is Blamed t .WASHINGTON <UPI> — The j director of the National Cancer | Institute believes that excessive cigarette smoking is one of the causes of lung cancer. Dr. J. R. Heller told a House appropriations subcommittee in testimony published today he agreed with Surgeon General Leroy Burney about cigarette smok- ' ing. Heller was asked by subcom--1 mittee Chairman John E. Fogart ’ <D-R D whether he was "as 1 positive as the surgeon general is I ■ that excessive cigarette smoking ■ over a long period of time will ‘ increase the likelihood of lung > cancer. Not Only Cause t “Yes sir,” Heller said. "I am • of the opinion that excessive cig- . arette smoking is one of the i causes of lung cancer but cer- . tai"ly not the only one.” The question of how much lung i cancer is due to air pollution re- . quires more research, he said, i The -tobacco industry contends that no direct link between can- , cer and cigarette smoking has been established. 1 Makes Optimistic Prediction Heller predicted that some day drugs will be able to cure all cancers. He noted that the ’ chances of surviving with cancer already are getting better. ‘Leaders in cancer research “ throughout the world are now t 1 agreed that the medical prosesI sion -ultimately will be armed with a variety of drugs with | which to cure cancer in man,” ' Heller said - i Heller based his observations I on the latest cancer data obtained from the state of Connecticut.

EXCHANGE Continued from par* on a 'tn the Unit«d States, and most Norwegian homes are heated by electricity, since hydro - electric power is plentiful. Terje stated that he had enjoyed the local discussion about the power question because Norway also has private and public power. In Norway Terje lives in a threestory home overlooking the Oslo fiord, with a large picture window ’on the second floor. Every Norwegian desires a home overlooking a fiord, a boat, and a pretty wife, Strom said, and his father is fortunate enough to possess all three. There are fewer television sets in Norway than in the U. S. on a per capita basis, with only one station broadcasting in Norway, and orrlv 8 or 10 hours of programs available each week. But more and more sets are being sold. Costs Lower Wages are much lower in Norway. but so is the cost of living. The biggest difference is in the school systems. In Norway pupils do not work after school — theyj must study, because school is in ' session six days a week from August 21 to June 23. and there are' no study periods. Students carry. 15 solid subjects, each meeting | from'one to six times a week. In Norway, only the most intelligent students finish high school, the rest attending trade schools o- : quitting at the end of the seventh
