Opinions on Cancer
From Smoking Differ
By The Assoeioied. Press

ATLANTA, Feb. 25.--The
question Of whether cigarette
smoking causes lung cancer
evoked a series of claims and
counter -clains at the closing
session of the Southeastern Sur
gical Congress yesterday.
DR. Alton Ochsner of New Or
leans said he believed it did. He
advised smokers to get "a chest
examination every six months
so that when you do develop
your cancer, it can be caught
early"
DR.. Otto c. Brantigan of Bal
timore and DR.. Edgar Davis OF
Washington. D. c.. disagreed
with him in other addresses.
DR.. Brantigan said he felt the
increase in lung cancer was due
in part to the fact that people
are living longer now. He said
more of them reach the age
when lung cancer is more preva-
lent.
DR.. Davis said the medical
profession may be unjustly
criticizing cigarettes" He sale
a study in Austria showed that
! persons who live on thorough
i fares where traffic fumes are
prevalent have more lung can.

ITO be effective" he added,
"the Service must be independent.
1t must be stated with profess
sional experts, not professional
politicians. 1t must be assured
of continuity, be permitted to
work unhampered in the field,
have official cooperation, and be
voted adequate funds"
Horne's program, since 1888,
has "been a target of the real
estate lobby" Abrams said. AS
late as 1949, official government
manuals sanctioned racial discrim-
nation, but in the postwar era
there were many gains, and the
government interviewed on the side
of Negroes in a legal fight a.
gainst restrictive covenants. The
Supreme Court forbade enforce
ment of such covenants, and FILA
officials agreed not to insure
mortgages on covenanted proper
ty.
Despite these advances, COP
s~trategists began to view the
racial issue in a different light,
Abrams said. They watered down
the civil-rights plan of the 1852
platform after President Truman's
strong position on civil rights had
made the South open territory for
the Republicans, he said. Build
ing and real-estate interests, work
ing through the Housing Agency
and the Presidents Advisory
Committee on Housing, have in
sisted that Horne's ideas will
hamper the building boom, Alb
rams said, adding that President
Eisenhower, this spring, condemn
ed the use of anti-discrimination
riders appended to housing and
other appropriation measures as
"clouding" the issue.
On July IA, 1855, Cole told a
House committee that the govern
ment shouldn't "move too precipi-
tously" in eliminating racial seq
regation from the Federal hous-
ing programs.
"A choice must be made" Alb.
rams concluded, between sub
ordinating the governments high
er public ethic to that of the mar
ket place and raising the ethic of
the market place to that of the
| Constitution"
