DR.. OVERHOLSER COMMENTS
ON HAROLD J. HALLS STORY

Or. Winfred Overhoser superintendent of St. Eliza
beths Hospital, says this about Harold j. Hall and his
story:
Il have known Harold j. Hall ever since he entered
ST. Elzabehs Hospital and like the of the hospital
personnel, have watched his progress with pleasure
THE story he tells here is a true one After years of
antisocal conduct Mr. Hall finally recognized for
what ne actually was-a mentally Ill person. At the
hospital he himself realized that ne ILL., this is step
Number One in psychiatric treatment.
He tells the story Of that treatment here The sorry
illustrates truth not altogether accepted by the pub
lic--that measurable OF what we call crime is
the product OF mental disorder and that much OF that
disorder is susceptible to treatment the subject will
only cooperate.
mr.. Halls case is not unique by any means but it is
not often that who through his experiences
is found who is able to tell his story as clearly and force
fully as Mr. Hall has mere.

The National Cancer Institute
said yesterday new statistical
study concludes that the entire
cigarette smoking population
appears to be subject to the
same high risk of lung cancer
which was found in earlier
studies of selected groups OF
smokers and non-smokers.
NCI is an official Government
agency. a part of the National
Institutes of Health at Bethesda.
In its report. NCI stressed that
the study produced new sugges-
tive evidence Of multiple envi-
ronmental factors in lung can
Ger" aside from the question Of
whether or not smoking is a
cause.
An NCI announcement said
these conclusions were reached
by two Of its researchers in a
report published in the insti-
tute's journal Authors Of the
report are William Haenszel,
head of NcI's biometry section.
and Or. Michael Shimkin. chief
Of the bIometry and epidemiology
branch.
An NCI spokesman told a re-
porter the new report was based
on an analysis Of a number Of
previous reports as related To
special population groups-in-
Guiding studies sponsored by the
American Cancer Society and
by NCI itself.

lung cancer deaths. now 5 to /
represents the highest sex ratio
known for any major disease
The adjustment for smoking his
tory lin the study brought the
sex ratio for lung cancer into
line with those observed for
other causes Of death.
"The authors further indicated
that If smoking is, in fact, a
cause Of lung cancer, the follow
ing two trends should prevail:
the rate Of deaths from lung
cancer for females will rise by
1865, in accordance with the
trend to smoking at earlier ages
among women: and the increas-
ing rate Of deaths from lung
cancer for males will slow down
by 1865"
Asserting that all sources of
information used in the study
agree that lung cancer incl
dence and deaths are higher in
urban than in rural areas" the
NCI statement said:
Adjustment Tin the new
study for different smoking pat
terms in rural and urban popu-
lations accounted for only a
part Of the urban-rural differ

In the opinion Of the authors.
this urban-rural discrepancy
represents a real finding and is

Cyprus Bombs
Kill &c. Man,
Hurt s Others
Vice Consul BoteIer
FutoIIy Injured in
Nicosiu Restaurant

William Pierce Boteler. vice
consul at Nicosia, Cyprus. and
member of a prominent WASH
Iington insurance family was
killed yesterday when bombs
were hurled into a restaurant
where he was sitting with six
other Americans.
The State Department con-
lfirmed his death last night.
Mr.. Boteler, rs and bache-
Ilor. was the son of Charles M.
Boteler, executive vice president
of the Mutual Insurance Agency
and president of the Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. of Washington,
1901 H street NV.
Other Americans Wounded
The dead man, who arrived in
Cyprus only a month ago,
made his home in Washington
with his father at the Dorchester
House. 248O Sixteenth street
NV.
All seven Americans were en-
Iployed by the United States For
Ieign Service in Nicosia. The
other six were wounded but APP
Iparently are not in serious con-
Idition. The wounded were not
identified by the State Depart
Iment.
The bombs exploded in the Lit
tie Soho Restaurant, the Associ-
|ated Press reported.
BliStering summer heat had
made the little restaurant too
hot for comfort the last few
days. The door was left open
to catch any stray air current.
Tossed Through Doorway
The bombs were lobbed
through the open door, explod-
ing with a loud roar.
Mr.. Boteler, the APP said, rose
from his chair and staggered
toward the open door. He fell
across the threshold. bleeding
from wounds in the lower part
of the stomach and legs. He died
later at a hospital.
All seven Americans appar-
emily were seated at the same
table. Mr.. Boteler facing the
door, when the bombs sailed into
the entrance.
British investigators said the
bombs were of the type used by
|EOKA extremists in the continu-
ing Cyprus disturbances. The
bombs had three-second fuses.
They had been sawed nearly in
half to increase the number of
fragments.
Bomb Thr0wer Escapes
Witnesses said the blast was
tremendous. Fragments pitted
the walls.
The assailant's getaway was
eased by the intricate system Of
streets and alleys near the res
taurant.
The consulate said that while
foreign service employees are not
under orders to stay out of public
places in Nicosia. such visits have
been discouraged.
Immediately after the bomb
ing. barbed-wire barricades were
thrown up on streets leading
from the area. British troops
swarmed in for a systematic
combing of the area.
