Lung Cancer Due to Smoking
Doubted by Baltimore Doctors

BALTIMORE, July 13.-Several
Baltimore doctors expressed gen.
eral disagreement today with the
recently published view of five st.
Louis specialists that excessive
and prolonged" use of cigarettes
seems to be an important factor
in cancer of the lung.
The opinion was published in
the Journal of the American Med
ical Association. 1t said that OF
COS male cancer patients inter-
viewed in three st. Louis hos
pitals. only 1.3 per cent were non
smokers, while 51.2 per cent hac
smoked more than a pack of ciga-
rettes a day for several years.
But DR.. William F. Reinhoff, jr.
a Baltimore surgeon, didn't ge
along with that opinion.
II have reviewed more than 50(
cases of lung cancer that were
operated on and a large number
that were inoperable. and I have
found no relation whatsoever tt
smoking.
There is no proof whatsoever
Evening star., 1950-07-13

Chat cigarette smoking causes pull
monary disease" he declared.
He and DR.. Lawrence M. Sierra,
chest diagnostician, noted the
vastly greater number of lung
cancers that occur in men in COM
parison with women. The ratio is
about eight men to one woman,
/ they said, yet women are almost
as heavy smokers as men,"
Another surgeon who asked to
remain unnamed said that what
strikes one forcibly is that smok-
ing is so prevalent there would be
a lot more lung cancer if this
were the cause"
Lung cancer, he added, "is not
as prevalent as you might think
in comparison with many other
diseases. Three doctors do prac-
tically all the operating for this
disease in Baltimore.
mo one has proved cancer Of
the lung is any more prevalent
now than formerly" he added
1T is diagnosed more often. yes,
but the reason is that we are
looking for it more"

AFL, Clio Will Begin
First Unity Talks
In ; Years JuIyB
BY the Associated Press

The main sections Of organized
labor seem to have entered an
era of closer cooperation. But
actual merger of the AFt and C1O
into one body is probably just
as much of an air castle as ever.
That was about the size of it
today as AFL and CIO leaders
looked forward to a new series of
unity" talks, starting here July
25. The date was announced yes
terday. CIO President Philip
Murray and AFL President Will
liam Green will discuss unity
across a table for the first time
in more than three years.
Murray Program Outlined.
Last April 4, Mr.. Murray sent
an urgent call to other labor
organizations, proposing a joint
committee that would:
/. Coordinate our efforts in
the economic, legislative and po-
litical spheres"
2. "Seek to achieve the organic
unity of all of American labor. "
The United Mine Workers, Ma
chiniSts and Railroad Trainmen
said Eyes" The AFL said it would
discuss the matter. Hence the
July Is talks. The UNIV. Ma
chinists and Railroad Trainmen
will stand. in effect. on the side
lines, waiting to see what the
conferences produce.
Other unity talks have COL
lapsed because the CIO insisted
that working unity" must pre-
cede organic unity" while the
AFL insisted that organic unity"
must come first.
Politics Play Part.
But in the last two years events
have been nudging the armies of
labor gradually into approxima-
tions of working unity" In the
1948 election campaign AFL and
CIO people worked pretty well to-
gether in some cities. In the 1949
drive for repeal of the Taft Hart
ley Act strategy conferences were
attended by men of the AFL, CIO
and other persuasions.
And only yesterday, nine-man
joint labor committee was organ
lied to work with the National
Security Resources Board "to en-
list the full cooperation of Amer
ican workers in any future ma
tional emergency"
Those words were used by the
AFL in announcing the makeup OF
the committee, which includes
John L. Lewis of the miners, Pres
ident Green and two colleagues
from the AFL. three CIO vice
presidents appointed by Mr.. Mur-
ray. one man from the machinists
and one from the railroad unions.

DoweY System

BRAZZAVILLE, French Equa-
torial Africa (ANP) The ancient
and traditional "dowry system"
which has for centuries been a
stumbling block in the path OF
poor but prospective husbands,
will soon become a thing of the
past, if the current movement a.
foot throughout the Belgian Con-
go is successful.
Throughout the country, young
native bachelors are joining with
African deputies in the colonial
government, sociologists and pro-
gressives, in an effort to push for
an end to the "dowry' require
ment.
The prospective bridegrooms
are particularly in favor of the
passing of the tribal custom be-
cause they are required to pay out
exorbitant amounts to the family
of their s~weethearts before they
are permitted to wed.
The fee is so high that most
young men would rather stay
single than enter into a situation
which would almost lead them to
financial ruin.
AS an example of what it would
cost to marry, a young houseboy
who earns 1000 francs a month,
of which he pays 200 for a room
in a thached hut leased him by
his employer, was confronted with
this problem.
His girls father wanted 5000
francs for the bride, 5000 for
himself and a suit and a pair Of
shoes costing another 1000 or
5000 francs.
The girls mother demanded a
piece of cotton cloth costing a.
round 1000 francs.

warned, however. that doctors are
likely to charge for any medical
examination or treatment in
