Further intensive investigation on
the relationship of cigarette smok-
ing TO such diseases was urged in
an editorial in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Although it may be generally
concluded that cigarette smoking
IS most likely contributory fac
tor and not primarily an Geological
one in the production OF cardio-
vascular disease, the present state
Of medical knowledge clearly
points up the need for intensive
investigation on the relation Of
cigarette smoking to cardiovas-
cular disease il stated.
Since the smoking habit is so
widespread. physicians should pay
more attention medically and
pharmacologically to nicotine
containing agent that is used by
the public in amounts equal to. if
not greater than, any other drug"
The large majority Of normal
persons respond to cigarette smok-
ing with a definite decrease in the
hoW of blood to the eXtremties

lasts from few minutes to a half

The initial post Office walkout
began six days ago. The gov
eminent has threatened to sus-
pend all postal strikers and turn
them over to judicial authori-
ties. Union leaders met to study
the DEGREES being prepared by
the government.
Advance, uncOnf1rmed reports
that the government was plan
ming to raise the retirement age
and lop large numbers of lower
paid employees from the payroll
had brought the general strike
call.
Last night a government
spokesman announced the re-
tlrement age of active public

but that they could keep working
until mandatory retirement at
81. The mandatory age now is
60.
Sedentary workers will retire
at 60, as presently, but may con-
tinue to work until IS if they

ice.

The forthcoming ZOA dinner in
celebration of DR.. Abba Hillel
Silver's sixtieth birthday may
prove a turning point for the or
ganization. People close to the
ZOA say Rabbi Silver will deliver
not only one of the most dynamic
addresses in his life but a plan
he hopes will restore unity within
the movement &. To the best of
my knowledge the American
Council of Judaism so far has
failed to register any protest
against the anti-Semitic manifes-
tations in Russia and the satellite
states. The Council conceivably
is on the horns of a dilemma. But
is its bitterness against Zionism
so deep that it cannot distinguish
between the wolf and the sheep?
Expected submission by the
Bonn Government of its repara-
tons pact with Israel for Parlia-
mentary approval has not mater
ialized this month. Moshe Shar-

the draft to Parliament may mean
the movement in Germany to
scuttle the pact is quite strong.
