u. S. Acts to Avert
Strike Threatened
AT Missile Center
BY the Associated Press

The National Mediation
Board INTERVIEWED yesterday in
a move to avert a strike by
employees of Pan American
World Always at the Missile
Testing Center at Cape Can
averal, Fla.
Board Secretary Eugene
Thompson said he had been
assured that no strike action
will be taken while the board
has jurisdiction. There is no
time limit on such jurisdiction,
during which Federal mediators
will attempt to resolve the
dispute.
Mr.. Thompson said the as
Surance came in a telephone
call from George M. Harrison,
president of the Brotherhood
of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers, Ex-
press and Station Employees.
The employees involved in the
dispute have no direct role in
the missile testing program.
but union officials have said a
strike could cause an immedi-
ate halt to the testing program

union employees respected Pan

The resolution was adopted
at the concluding session of the
boards annual meeting here
yesterday.
No Specific Measures
When asked what specific
measures were suggested. DR..
Howard c. Taylor. jr., chair
man of the society's special
smoking committee, said that
this would be up to the health
services.
After the resolution was
adoted, DR.. Ian Macdonald,
professor of clinical surgery at
the University of California,
asked:
Does this commit the society
to recognize a cause and effect
relationship between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer?
DR.. Taylor said that it would
not be inconsistent to recognize
cigarette smoking as an i'm
portant cause of lung cancer.
At the outset, the resolution
cited a report last March Of the
Study Group on Smoking and
Health as having asserted: THE
evidence of cause-effect rela-
tionship is adequate for con-
sidering the initiation of public
health measures"
The study group was organ
lied in June. 1856, at the sug-
gestion of the American Cancer
Society, the American Heart
Association and the Cancer and
Heart Institute of the National
Institutes of Health. 1t was
made up of seven experts.
Film for Schools Ok'd
The society approved pro-
posed film designed to acquaint
high school students with the
problems of cigarette smoking
and lung cancer.
The Cancer Society also de-
cided yesterday to withdraw
from all United Fund and Com
munity Chest money-raising by
1860 and conduct its own
financial crusade.
Directors announced the de-
cision in another resolution
adopted yesterday.
The society said it would
pull out of united drives be-
cause it refused to surrender
budget control and that it had
demonstrated its own ability
to raise money.

There were hopes, now fast

of the deterioration of every

A French economic and po-

Both the United States
and Britain are beginning
to be seriously concerned and
disturbed over the long
drawn-out political crisis in
France. The third party to
the Big Three alliance is in
very bad condition, polit-
ically and economically. And

and apparently futile Alge-
rian affair. where the nation

a military prop to the free
world alliance.
What has Washington and
London upset is the increas-
ing evidence that France is
in immediate danger of COM
plete collapse. If this hap
pens, the possibility of a
Communist coup is balanced
only by the probability Of
an extreme Rightist coup.
Neither, of course, is desir-
able to anyone, except the
Russians.
Even if the machinery of
the French Republic survives
its present deathly sickness,
the economy is. in the opin-
ion of many experts, already
beyond salvation. A resort
to deliberate imitation is
already evident; the print

West struggles overshadowed
problems Of feeding the world
today as the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organ
ization began its ninth con-
ference.
Most delegates said the three
week session seemed likely to
be the hottest since the IA
nation organization was formed
at the end of World War II.
It's mission is to increase world
food production and distribute
surpluses to the underfed.
Two Communist nations.
Poland and Hungary, have ap-
piled for FAC membership and

plans to oppose Hungary.

state to ask to get in. Although
a founder of the organization,
the Soviet Union never joined.
Ukraine Withdraws Plea
Without explanation, the
Ukraine told the 24-nation ex-
ecutive council meeting Thurs
day and yesterday that it was
withdrawing its request.
One reason seemed probable
The United States has let it be
known in Washington that 1t
opposed the application.
The United States view was
believed here to be that Russia
was seeking cheap membership.
The Ukraine would have to pay
only about / per cent of FAO's
operating costs. based on its
size and capacity to pay, where
as Russia would have to pay
about 10 per cent. The United
States quota is 81 per cent.
The United States view ap-
parently had plenty Of support
and Moscow was believed to
have decided it wasn't worth
the fight. Many delegates be-
lieved the Hungarian applica-
ton would also be withdrawn tc
avoid a defeat.
u. S. Opposes Hungary Bid
United States opposition tc
Hungary is based on the as
sertion that the Hungarian re-
gime is neither legal nor repre-
sentative. There has been nc
indication that the United
States opposes Poland, which
has received some United States

other financial problems. B. r
