The retirement of Maj. Gen.
Jose. de Mattos, presidential can
didate of the Democratic and
Liberal parties, leaves the 1,O46,-
367 registered voters the choice
of voting for Mr.. Carmona or re-
naming away from the polls.
Until Gen. de Mattos withdrew
last night, this was scheduled as
the first contested election per-
mitted in Portugal in % years.
Communists Accused.
Democratic and Liberal hackers
of Gen. de MattoS charged that
their 82-year-old candidate had
been given a Judas kiss by Com
munist elements.
They accused the Communists
of having embraced Gen. de Mat
tos' candidacy as part of a plan
to destroy Democratic and Liberal
elements which had survived %
harried years under the hard
listed regime of Premier Antonio
de Oliveira Salazar.
The SalaZar government,
strongly backing Mr.. Carmona,
wound up it's campaign with an
appeal for big vote for the 79-
year-old president. He has held
the office since 1925.
The government announced the
army is taking precautions against
any disorders at the polls.
DR.. Salazar himself, in a broad
cast to the country, said of Gem
De Mattos' announcement of With
drawal:
IF at the last moment they
(the opposition) flee the electoral
act, from that We can say they
did all that they could, and avoid
ed the unique good they could do"
The newspaper o Seculo praised
DR.. Salazar's speech.
On one side we have an un-
changed attitude-calm, serious.
objective. all for the good of the
nation" the paper said editorially.
"On the other, agitation, throwing
in of the sponge in defeat :. with
scarcely convincing excuses"
Gen. De Mattos, in announcing
he would withdraw, said the gov
ernment had not guaranteed a
fair election. He had demanded
a secret ballot, examination Of
voters lists by both sides and
a hand in counting the votes.
DR.. Salazar had replied with
promises of a fair election, and
asked the war minister to suspend
military maneuvers scheduled for
tomorrow. Gen. DeMattos' forces
had said they feared military dis
plaVS would friphten voters.

Move Opens TO Get

The District Cancer Control
Bureau has asked the Commits
sioners to approve move that
would make cancer a reportaoie
disease to the Health Department
by doctors and hospitals.
DR.. Jay Mclean, director OF the
bureau, said he is uncertain
whether the Commissioners have
power to order the move or
whether it would require legisla
ton. A proposed draft for legis-
iation was submitted yesterday to
the Corporation Counsel but was
routed today to the city heads
for consideration.
DR.. Mclean said the request
has the full cooperation OF the
District Medical Society and
other physician groups here. The
move would require doctors and
hospitals to report new cases Of
cancer to the Health Department
within 10 days after they are
discovered.
Legislation, he said, would re-
lieve doctors of any possible legal
responsibility for revealing names
of patients with the disease. Un-
der the plan, however, the depart
ment could release identity of
cancer patients only on court or
der, and any other data would be
released only on written order
