NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Tobac-
CO company stocks took a tum-
BILE yesterday. apparently react
ing to medical and scientific re-
ports which limited at a connec-
ton between cigarette smoking
and lung cancer.
The reports, however, have not
gone unchallenged.
E. Cuyler Hammond, Yale pro-
fessor of biometry Statistical
studies of human life) and sta
tistical research director for the
American Cancer Society, says
there is still no proof-only in
dications-that cigarette smok-
ing causes lung cancer.
At New Haven, Conn, yeSter-
day Prof. Hammond said a
study he is directing of the
smoking habits of 204,0 900 men
does not warrant "even a most
preliminary analysis of the re-
lationship between smoking and
cancer"
Not Convinced Completely.
Concerning other studies al
ready made of smoking in rela-
ton to human cancer, Prof.
Hammond said:
Certain investigators, includ-
ing myself, are not completely
convinced as to the validity of
the results in spite of the fact
that a number of independent
studies conducted in more or
less the same way led to more
or less the same apparent con-
cluSions."
However, Prof. Hammond
added. laboratory evidence gives
no positive proof that cigarette
smoking causes lung cancer, "but
it is highly suggestive"
