NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Some
reasons to doubt that cigarettes
are big cause of lung cancer
were described yesterday to the
American Cancer Society.
The main reason to suspect
cigarettes is statistical studies
indicating much more lung can
Ger among heavy and moderate
smokers than non smokers. Lung
cancer, now killing $1,000 Amer
leans annually, is the fastest
increasing type of cancer. The
rise seems to parallel popular
use of cigarettes.
Foreign Statistics Cited.
But three scientists cited rea-
sons why they feel that the case
against cigarettes is by no means
certain.
DR.. Harold Stewart. National
Cancer Institute. Bethesda, Md,
cited reports that lung cancer
accounts for about II per cent
of all cancers among men in
Austria, England and The Meth
erlands, 9.5 per. cent in the
United States, 2 per cent in
Japan, and O.5 per cent in Thai
land (Siam).
"Yet I understand that the
smoking habits in Thailand are
about the same as in the United
States" he said.
He added that mice exposed
to heavy cigarette smoke 4C
hours every week for eight
months or more did not show
any increase in lung cancer.
Cause Is Not Found.
DR.. w. C. Hueper Of the NC1
said an Austrian study of au-
topsies on 750 victims of lung

been nom smokers or moderate
smokers using one to five cigar
cites daily. No one has yet
isolated a specific cancer-caus-
ing chemical from tobacco, he
added.
DR.. Harry S. N. Greene. Yale
University pathologist, said at
tempts to produce cancer in en-
bryonic mouse lung tissue by
treating it with extracts from
tobacco and cigarette paper had
failed as yet to produce cancers.
Embryonic tissue is very suscep-
tible to cancers from chemicals,
he said.

Practically all species Of fish
fell victim to the poisonous
organisms. Several hundred
million pounds of valuable
game and sports fish died,
ranging from snapper to
mighty tarpon and drumflsh.
Horseshoe crabs perished by
the thousands, although the
true crab apparently was i'm
mune.
Recurrence This Year.
The memory of 1947 elec-
trif1ed residents this year when
a 50-mile- wide sWath of dead
fish was discovered af1oat in
the Gulf, ranging from Venice
up to st, Petersburg's Holiday
Isles.
Scientists from the Fish and
Wildlife Services laboratory
in Galveston, Tex, moved in
on Florida almost as soon as
the first wave of dead sea bass
hit the beaches.
Employing the lessons learned
in 1947, the Government
scientists enlisted aid of a

troll boat and proceeded to doc
tor the water in localized areas
with copper sulphate crystals,
towed astern in sacks.
Although experiments were
limited to small areas in pro-
portion to the "red tide" out
break. Albert Collier, director
of the Galveston laboratory,
pronounced them successful
and said the "red tide" dis
appeared from water where the
copper sulphate was applied.
Operation CIeonsweep'
Meanwhile, county and mu-
nicipal officials got together
and formed Operation Clean
sweep" to prepare for an on
slaught of dead fish. Plans
were made to utilize all avail
able bulldozers and road equip
ment to get the fish of the
beaches and quickly buried.
Then the fish began to
wash ashore and burial efforts
got underway. At this juno
ture, Hurricane Florence
stepped in to help. Although
a few hundred evil-smelling

fish had washed in. q greater
influx was halted by the swirl
ing skirts Of Florence, which
kicked up rough water in the
gulf and created high tides.
Just as the 1947 "red tide"
broke up under the pounding
of a hurricane, the 1858 out
break began to disappear, too.
This time the disaster stage
was avoided. Hotel and motel
owners gave a collective sigh
of relief.
The team of biologists from
the Galveston laboratory re-
turned to home base, armed
with samples Of water contain
ing G. breUis. They plan to
grow the micro-organisms in
culture under controlled condi-
tions in an effort to determine
what spawns the murderous
species.
Information on the tiny
pests has increased greatly
since 1947. Scientists know
what caused the plague and
how the Ash were killed, but
they are still unsure about the

cause Of the plaques appear
anceS.
These facts are known:
/. The red tide" Is not new.
It occurred in Florida on eight
previously recorded occasions,
as early as 1874. Charles Dar-
win observed it on the coast
Of Chile in 1882. Japan, India,
Africa, Australia and Europe
have felt its effects. California
also has been q victim.
2. g. breDts Is always in the
water, although not in SUM-
cient numbers to cause death.
3. Phosphorus content Of
the 'red tide" water has been
found to be 5 to 10 times high
er than that Of normal sea
water. Since phosphorus is
necessary to the species
growth and multiplication, this
finding may indicate the fac
tor for accelerated growth.
4, The '.red tide" usually
occurs during the calm sum-
mer months, especially when
temperatures are above normal.
Other Reasons
Amateur scientists have
produced o hundred reasons
for the red tide and as many
cures. They blame water
hyacinths, lack of oxygen and
poisonous materials dumped
in the Gulf during wartime.
But all these theories have
been dismissed, as have the
cures-Such as using dynamite
or napalm to rid the water
Of the scourge.
The best answer yet Is cop
per sulphate. The chemical
has it's drawbacks Git kills
healthy fish, too9, but when
presence Of the red tide is de-
tected early enough. quick
dosages of the copper sulphate
can prevent rapid growth of
the micro-organisms. Thus,
loss of q few fish Is worth it
if lives Of many are spared.
Director Collier thinks the
copper sulphate Is sciences
best answer right now. But
the laboratory probing will go
on, with Gyntnodiniunt breUis
the chief target for those who
hunt with the microscope.

position may shortly be rele-
gated to limbo if the United

Service has it's way.
The beast in question is
Gymnodinium breUiS, a lowly

Sponsible for the "red tide"
spaSmodically recurring plague
which has killed untold mil
lions of fish in the Gulf of
Mexico and played hob with
the pocketbook of Florida's
west coast.
Dubbed the "red tide" be-
cause its chief symptom is a
reddish brown discoloration
of sea water, the plague is
caused by millions of tiny
micro-organisms which mys-

ter is caused by pigment
granules within the micro
organisms.
AS many as so million Speci-
mems of G. breUis may be found
in a single quart of water
when the red tide" is at it's
height. Fish die when they
encounter the poison secreted
by the tiny beings.
1947 Outbreak
Most fearful outbreak Of
the red tide" in recent years
came in 1947, when tons of
dead fish washed ashore, send
ing tourists retreating from
their seaside cottages as an

beaches were emptied Of bath
ers and Uttered with fish.
An irritating gas was waited

year was estimated at from 81
million to SO million.

tration'S quest for o national
housing policy moved into q
second stage last week as the
Presidents Advisory Commit
tee on Housing held its first
meeting.
The first stage started about
four months ago, when Hous-
ing Administrator Albert M.
Cole launched his widely pub
licized shirt sleeves confer
ences" here and In many cities
throughout the country to
bring together diverse view
points. The third major
step-a committee report to
the Presidents expected in
time for early action by Con-
gress next year.
The Advisory Committee has
been charged by the President
with the job Of reviewing the
Federal Governments entire
participation in aids to hous-
ing. Its 81 members predomi-
nantly represent the banking
business, for at least II are
actively engaged In lending.
Two others are In the broker
age business, two In the build
ing industry, two are labor
union representatives, one is q
building materials dealer, one
is an architect. one Is a munic-
ipal public housing official,
and one is q veterans organi-
Zation representative.
Middle Course
In the seven months since
his appointment, Housing Ad-
miniStrator Cole has Skillfully
steered course which has left
both his early detractors and
early supporters almost COM
pletely disarmed. Those who
thought the roof fell in with
his appointment-because of
his opposition to public hous-
ing while a member Of Con-
gresS-have lately been sing
ing praises. And those who
saw his elevation to the top
housing job as a mighty victory
for laissez faire in the housing
field are still as hopeful as
ever that things will turn out
all right for their side.
Neither the committee itself
nor Housing Administrator
Cole, who heads it ex-officio,
have given much of an inkling
as to any preconceptions they
may have on what housing-law
changes should be made.
Fields for Study
Studies will be undertaken
by the committee in the fol-
lowing general fields; Housing
credit facilities; Veterans Ad-
miniStration and Federal
Housing Administration financ-
ing activity; urban redevelop-
ment, rehabilitation and con-
Servation: housing for low
income families, and organiza-
tion Of the Federal Govern
ment's housing agencies.
The Presidents good friend,
Aksel Nielsen, president Of the
Title Guaranty Co. of Denver,
heads a subcommittee to deal
with reorganization of Federal
agencies involved in housing.
Ernest J. Bohn, a good Repub-
lican and strong advocate of
public housing who is execu-
tive director Of the Cleveland
Metropolitan Housing Author
ity, heads the subcommittee on
low-income housing. Rodney
Lockwood Of Detroit, the con-
servative former president Of
the National Association of
Home Builders, will head up
the VA-FHA study. James w.
Rouse of Baltimore, a mort
gage banker, will guide the re-
Mobilization study. And George
L. Bliss, president of the Cen
tury Federal Savings and Loan
Association Of New York City,
will direct the credit facilities
study.

ure Of the committee is not
being discounted, there are

better selection than these men
could not have been made in
