Cigarette Report Over-Simplified

' By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A scientific objection to the surgeongeneral’s report on cigarette smoking is that lung cancer “is a very complex physiological and biological problem”- but the report makes it seem rather simple. It over-simplifies, the critical scientists said, by giving all its emphasis to one possible causative factor, excessive cigarette smoking. But there are others which though not proved are at least as well established. The sex of the cigarette smoker, for instance. . , A National Cancer Institute survey “has shown that nonsmoker women have only a slightly lesser incidence of lung cancer than non-smoker men. Yet in a group of heavy smokers the difference is vgry pronounced. Women Less Susceptible “These data if confirmed on a larger scale would indicate that women, due possibly to a peculiarity of their endocrine system, are less susceptible to the damaging influence of tobacco smoke.” The possible role of viruses and bacteria is another factor. It is an obvious fact that the lungs and their passages “are constantly attacked by viral and bacterial agents,” continued these dissenting scientists. They pointed to statistical evidence of this kind of fin association. One-third of one group of 155 lung cancer victims had had periodic lung infections before lung cancer developed. In another group, 80 per cent of cancerous lungs brought to autopsy revealed past infections. “The ever-increasing evidence in support of the virus theory of cancer, obliges one to pay

particular attention to the possible role of viral and bacterial infections in cancer of the lungs.” Leave Question Open The scientists complained the surgeon-general’s report did not answer the question of whether every heavy cigarette smoker is in danger of developing lung cancer if he smokes long enough. “Yet this is of prime importance,” they said. “The factors which might render an organism more susceptible to this disease, and specifically to the damaging influence of cigarette smoking should be defined and investigated.” Scientifically speaking, they said, there are two glaring flaws in basic research conducted so far into lung cancer. It is “meager” and it is “imperfect.” This dissent is that of the editors of an ultra-scientific journal of small circulation, “Growth.” It is a co-operative interprise of contributors and subscribers. The editors are Drs. Stanley P. Reimann and Irene Corey Diller of the Institute for Cancer Research, Philadelphia, and Dr. Boris Sokoloff of Southern Bio-Research Institute, Lakeland, Fla. All are well known in cancer research. Reck Out Os Governor Race, Seeks 2nd Spot INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—State Rep. Robert L. Rock of Anderson demoted himself from the Indiana Democratic gubernatorial" nomination race to the lieutenant governor contest today. Rock, who was his party’s House floor leader in the 1963 Legislature, at a news confers ence, paid his $1,250 assessment for the contest for the second spot on the ticket to State Chairman J. Manfred Core. William Fortune, Zionsyille, took a similar downgrade step last week. /• The contest for lieutenant governed became quite crowded as a result. Already announced are former Appellate Court Judge John R. Ax, Linton; former Secretary of „State John RWalsh, Anderson; and Joseph Farina, LaPorte County blueberry raiser. Both Rock and Walsh are from the sth District. However,

I Rev. Robert Confront Invested Monsignor Five priests of the Fort WayneSouth Bend diocese were invested in the robes of monsignor in ceremonies Monday in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Fort Wayne. The Most Rev. Leo A. Pursley, D. D., bishop of the diocese, conducted the ceremonies. Msgr. Robert W. Contant, Fort Wayne, former assistant at St. Mary’s Catholic church in Decatur, was invested with the title of very reverend monsignor. Invested as right reverend monsignors were Msgr. Charles F. Girardot. Fort Wayne; Msgr. Leo A. Hoffmann, Mishawaka; Msgr. Frederick W. Meefeling; in retirement in San Diego, Calif., and Msgr. John F. Nadolny, Fort Wayne. Rock said he believes that Walsh entered the combat too late to make hay with the state convention delegates. Rock denied that he had made any deal with any of the remaining aspirants for the party’s gubernatorial nomination—Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette, former Bloomington Mayor Thomas Lemon; State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth; Clinton Green, Worthington; Luke White, Covington, or former Appellate Court Judge John S. Gonas, South Bend, who reversed the current trend by switching from lieutenant governor to. governor. Before the deadline for recouping assessment payments, other withdrawals are expected. Rock pointed out that he was the first aspirant for governor to receive the endorsement of his district (the sth) and that he has visited all 11 congressional districts several times. “In the past several days I have checked with Democratic leaders in the districts, and have found strong support available if I seek the lieutenant governor nomination,” he said. “They believe my eight years of legislative experience, including one session as House minority leader would add strength to the Democratic ticket. I look forward to our convention and the selection of a strong ticket that yvill lead our party to victory this fall with a program to make Indiana a leader among states.”. Rock dodged other questions concerning hook-ups with other candidates. He said his aides have told Governor Welsh about his decision to switch and that he proposed to talk to Welsh before leaving Indianapolis. “I have ho favorite for the Democratic nomination for governor now that I have left the race,” Rock declared.

Strength To End Filibuster

WASHINGTON (UPI) — A Southern senator conceded today that the Senate leadership seems to have rounded up enough votes to halt the Dixie filibuster against the civil rights bill. With one week left before the crucial vote on cloture, Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S. C., told |ne Senate; “It would stem that those voting in the affirmative on cloture would be sufficient to end debate.” Thurmond was the first Southern senator to publicly express doubt about Dixie prospects for continuing the talkathon against the anti - discrimination measure. While Thurmond spoke on the floor against the leadership jury trial compromise. Democratic leaders discussed the cloture vote with President Johnson. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield told reporters after the breakfast meeting at the White House that “we will try to get enough in the way of votes ... to bring about invocation- of cloture.” Mansfield said he had taken some nose counfs but called the results “very indefinite.” Senate Leaders expected that their announcement of next Tuesday’s cloture test might start a flurry of voting on amendmen’s to the Housepassed bill, but they said this would not delay the gag rule vote. Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., floor manager of the measure, said there was “not a chance” of postponing the cloture vote. Without a curb on debate, he said, “we

This could be 67 if all 100 senators vote. Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 81., told newsmen he "would rather guess” supporters had enough votes for cloture. He did not think votes before hand on amendments would change the situation.

Sheriff Department Is Probing Thefts The sheriff’s department is investigating today several recent thefts, including that of a $4,800 tractor from the Affolaer Implement of Berne. The theft of the tractor wasn’t reported until Monday, when it was discovered, but had taken place sometime before last Friday, according to the company owners. The tractor was one of several that are parked around the building. Also under investigation is a theft that occurred sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning at a rarm owned by Robert Braden, about two miles west of Decatur on U. S. 224. An automobile had been pulled into a machine shed attached to a barn at the farm, and a 12-volt battery was stolen from a tractor, along with an oil gauge, and connection wires to lights on the rear of the tractor were damaged and about 25 gallons eA gasoline from the tractor’s tank was stolen. Harvey Landis, route 4, Decatur, who is ditching at the farm, had a truck parked there, and a flare was taken from the truck and approximately 10 to 15 gallons of gasoline from its tank. A third theft under investigation is that of two rear wheels stolen from a go-kart in the garage at the residence of Rev. Charles Elam of Monroe. The gokart is owned by his son, and the two wheels, which were taken sometime Sunday, were valued at approximately S2O apiece. Felt and the other by Adm.
