Decafur Lady At Crusade Kickoff Mrs. Robert Krueckeberg, president of the Adams county chapter of the American Cancer Society, was in Washington, D. C., over the past weekend, attending the national cancer crusade kickoff. While attending the affair, Mrs. Krueckeberg heard Dr. Gregory Pincus, the developer of birth control pills, explained he is working “on a new lead which he came across accidentally ... an unexpected turn that may prevent uterine and possibly breast cancer.” The optimistic appraisal of the work of the researcher at Worchest»r foundation of experimental biology was a major point of a new Cancer society filmstrip premiered before those attending. The new turn mentioned in the film strip, "Moment of Discovery,” occurred when Dr. Pincus was testing birth control pills in Puerto Rico. Not knowing whether the pills’ hormones would trigger uterine cancer, Dr. Pincus organized a special test in which hundreds of pap smears were made. He found that of more than 1,000 women taking the pills only two smears were suspicious. Neither of these turned out to be cancer. In a comparable group not taking the pill, 1 suspicious smears found and six of the women actually had cancer. American Cancer society funds now support further study of the pill. Seven hundred more women will be tested for five more years before any firm conclusions are likely, it was said.

Lay Groundwork For Katanga Back In Congo KOLWEZI, Katanga, The Congo (UPD — United Nations officials, following up the peaceful U.N. take-over of this last Katangese stronghold, laid the groundwork today for bringing Katanga Province back into the Congo. The next reunification moves were expected to take place in the provincial capital of Elisabethville where representatives of Premier Cyrille Adoula's central government were awaiting talks with Katanga’s President Moise Tshombe. Tshombe, who had vowed to fight to the end, concluded his 31-month-long secession officially Monday by surrendering Kolwezi. U.N. troops entered the important mining center without a shot being fired. The action brought all major military operations in the Congo to an end although U.N. forces still were mopping up small pockets of resistance in the north. The Katangese president remained at a villa on the edge of the city, pending arrangements for reunification discussions. Though the military phase of the U.N. reunification campaign was over, much negotiation and hard work lay ahead to get -the Congo back on its feet. One of the key questions is the place Tshombe is to have is a federated Congo. After two and a half years of bitter opposition, Tshombe is not regarded with much favor by the Leopoldville government. Other vital matters to be settled are the division of Katanga’s large mining revenues with the central government and the integration of Tshombe’s gendarmerie into the nation army.

Parents Protest On 'Vulgar' Books EDGERTON, Wis. (UPD — A group of parents planned to protest to the school board tonight the reading in a high school English class of such “vulgar” books as “Brave New World” and “The Ugly American.” Mrs. Edwin Thalacker, one of three parents who launched the campaign, said she had received the backing of all but one of the friends she asked to “back us up” at the board meeting. She said the group would attempt to ban from an advanced senior reading class the books, “The Catcher in the Rye,” by J.D. Salinger; “Brave New World,” by Aldous Huxley; “1984” by George Orwell; “Os Mice and Men,” by John Steinbeck; “Crime and Punishment,” by Fyodor Dostoevsky and “The Ugly American,” by William Lederer and Eugene Burdick. Mrs. Thalacker said the books apparently were introduced into the class about a year ago. “Most of the parents had no idea their children were reading such things. We try to bring up our children in a good Christian attitude and then they throw these things at them,” she said. One of those who called to oppose the campaign, Mrs. Thalacker said, was “a boy who was a senior in a high school class three years ago in which 17 girls dropped out because they got pregnant. He thought if they had read these things the girls might have known better,” she said. The English class is taught by Carroll Gonzo, who is also president of the Edgerton High School Teachers Association. School Supt. R.A. Klause said the books in question were on a reading list approved for college preparatory study by the National
