Orders had flashed to the radio

necessary to take great ship to

near the carrier. and to other
warships OF the 9Th Fleet in other
French Mediterranean ports.
Crewmen awoke the visiting re-

Thus did the United States

Fleet. with its nuclear punch, was
en- route to emphasize the serious
intent behind the Eisenhower doc

East was vital to the national

So hasty was the fleets departure
that about $50 of the Forrestal's
ships company were left in Paris;
others from the various ships of the
feet were left scattered along the
Mediterranean shore. They were
rounded up quickly and flown to
Naples. where by various means they
could rejoin their vessels.

Rome, July 1.-THE tobacco
cancer controversy has just reach
ed Italy and the other Mediter-
ranean countries this summer,
and the effects will shortly be felt
BY the cigarette manufacturers
and the tobacc0nists.
The Latins are heavy smokers,
| but the habit Is stnl limited most
" to men. Smoking BY women Is
considered slightly reprehensible
and is very rarely seen in public
This fact explains the tremend-
GUS difference in the number Of
cigarettes smoked annually in the
Anglo-SaxOn and Latin countries.
The U. S. leads with 2.173 ciga-
rettes per person (almost six per
day for every man. woman, and
child Of the entire population as
against $50 per Italian. The Brit
ish follow close behind the Ameri-
Cans with an annual average per
person Of 1864.
Now the Italian. French. and
Spanish newspapers have taken
UP the arguments for and against
tobacco as a cause OF throat and
lung cancer. largely as a result OF
the recent British report by q
Government appointed medical
council. The British doctors came
out fatty in favor OF the cancer
theory. putting the Macmillan
Government on the spot,
Cigarette Prohibition?
The Labor opposition in Parlia-
ment Immediately demanded that
the authorities do something
about this danger, and there
were yer those who insisted that
smoking should be prohibited BY
law. While wiser heads pointed
out that this was impracticable
like the American experiment in
Prohibition. there has been q
strong movement to make smok-
ing under the age of Is Illegal.
At the moment. the British au.
tlorittes have compromised. Nc

vent smoking even by 10 year ole
schoolboys putting away up in the

ing the population that theil
chances Of contracting throat Of
