6. There is no significant as
ISOLATION between cigar smoking
and lung cancer.
7. Pipe smoking appeared to be
associated with lung cancer, but
to a far less degree than ciga-
rette smoking.
BrOnchOsenic Cancer
The Cancer Society's study
was concerned mainly with
bronchogenlc cancer, which
originates in the breathing tubes.
This is by far the most common
kind OF lung cancer. Its rate has
been almost doubling IN the
United States with each passing
decade. 1t Is increasingly COM
mon ~nong men, especially.
Adenocarclnoma. or cancer with
a glandllke appearance, &C
counted for only 8 per cent of
all lung cancer deaths in this
study.
Considering Tie 168 cases
proved by tissue study to be
bronchogenic cancer, the death
rate among tWo-pack- a day
smokers was about 80 times as
high as it was for non smokers.
Only two such cases were found
among non-Smokers. The rate
for eX-SmokerS tthat is, those
who had quit when the survey
started( was a times as high as
foT smokers, but only about
half the rate for those who
smoked less than one pack a day
when first questioned.
The study started with 26.249
ex-Smokers, about half of them
one time light smokers and the
rest moderate or heavy smokers
Those who had been light smok-
erS had about the same bron-
chogenic cancer death rate as
those who had never smoked.
The society's study was started
in November, 1851, when about
10000 volunteer workers en-
listed for the project in 1894
counties of New York. New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania. Michigan, H.
linois, Wisconsin Minnesota,
Iowa and California. Each vol
unteer agreed to list 10 appar-
emily healthy white men be-

c Conferees Snogged
On Trade Clause

House and Senate conferees
were still deadlocked after a
third meeting today over Senate
changes in the three-year ex-
tension of the reciprocal trade
program. The conferees will
make another effort to agree
this afternoon.
Chairman Byrd said the con-
ferees spent two hours this
morning trying to agree on the
of one word in the Sen
ate escape clause.
The Senate re-wrote the es-
cape clause to make it possible
for American industries to get
tariff relief if imports contrib
ute materially" as threat to
the industry. Senators contend
that under present law an indus
try must show that the imports
are the sole" cause of the
threat. 1t is understood the ad-

The Justice Departments ar

General Warren E. Burger said
an employe, under that program

was not the same as a court

He also warned, as did At
torney General Brownell earlier
this year, that the loyalty pro-
gram would be greatly weakened
and information sources dried
up if employees suspected on
loyalty or security grounds could
know and question all inform
ants.

mediately concerned with
whether the Loyalty Review

.ToBeSought
BY the Associated Press .

Representative Vorys, Repub-
lican, of Ohio, said today he will
press for House action to put
more foreign economic aid on a
loan basis, despite objections by
the Hoover Commission and the
Senate.
The congressman also said a
House move will be made to "tie
some strings to more than
$40.5 million in aid for Yugo-
slavia, as the result of Marshal
Tito's agreement with Kremlin
leaders last week.
Mr.. Vorys is a senior member
of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee which resumes work
Wednesday on President Eisen-
hower's $3.5 billion foreign as
sistance program for the year
beginning July /.
The Hoover Commission on re-
organizing the Government rec
commended yesterday that the
Government continue giving
outright grants to nations un-
able to repay loans, to avoid diff
flculties and prevent misleading
American taxpayers.
Quotes Hoover
But Mr.. Vorys echoed a view
he said was expressed eight
years ago by former President
Herbert Hoover. head of the
commission. He quoted Mr..
Hoover as saying that nations
receiving help have a better
psychology" If they undertake
IAN obligation of repayment"
The Congressman said he will

million for development assist

Senate rejected this proposal in
approving the bill without major
change last week.
Could Save $3.50 Million
The commission report made
these other points:
l. Its investigating task force
OF businessmen estimates at
least $500 million could be saved
annually without prejudice to
the objectives" of foreign aid by
streamlining operations.
2. Seven of the commissions
II members called for applying
some brakes to this overseas
spending program" and advo-
Gated substantial reductions" as
the only way of hating "the
growing trend toward permanent
foreign spending"
3. The commission called m
congressional committees to de-
termlne whether an estimated
So billion holdover of unex-
pended funds could be used to
make immediate heavy reduc-
tlons in the budget. Mr.. Vorys
said the committees are doing
this all the time

whereas the power of the Sen

whereas it would be a missapplica-

to refuse to confirm a qualified

Stetser Reports That 1885,
600 Workers Under I'm
employment Law May
Earn '55 Total Exceed
ing S5OO,O0O,O 600.

Delaware business and industry
hit Dew all-time highs in both en-
pleyment and wages during 1855,
Albert StetseT. chairman-executiye
director Of the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission, reported on
Wednesday Of this week.
Salaries and wages paid to work
ers covered by the Delaware Unem-
pioyment Compensation Law will
probably top the half-billion dollar
mark for the first time in the his
tory of the state, the UCC head es-
timated. The previous all-time
high was reached in 1853, with pay
rolls of $463, 3,S59,716. In 1854, this
total declined to S458,661,043.
Approximately 135,O00 different
persons worked in covered en-
ployment this year, with a sea-
sonal high of 123, ,666 employed at
one time during the July-Septem-
Der quarter. In 1854, the peak en-
ployment at any one time was 112,-
040, with some $4,000 working
over the course of the year.
Benefit payments, low during the
latter half of 1855, totaled $2,115,-
4OS for the year, largely due to
heavy payments in the early
months. The total was down sharp
" from the record $3,561 ,299 paid
to unemployed workers in 1854.
The unemployment cOmpensa-
ton reserve fund is now at $16,-
38S, S,633, compared to $16,177,615 at
the close Of 1854. This is far above
the $5,0O0,0O0 safety mark at which
employer tax minimums would be
pegged at one-half Of one per cent
instead of the one-tenth rate now
permitted under 1855 amendments
to the law.
Accordingly, by far the greater
proportion Of Delaware employers
with stable employment experience
over the past three years will pay
1855 tax rates of one-tenth Of one
/ per cent, a so per cent reduction
from the 1855 minimum Of two
tenths Of one per cent to three pc
cent, depending upon the individ
i ual employers experience.
Tax collections in 1855 were 50,
+ 004. .323, compared to S1,452, ,222 il
/ 1854. Interest on the trust funf
amounted to $362,503. Tax savings
to employers during the year stem
ming from reduced contribution
rates totaled about $7,000,000 Thi
figure is expected to increase ma
terially in 1856 when the lowe
minimum rate is effective for th'
| first time.
