DR.. Ian G. MacDo Donald, d.

for the American Medical

Statistical association is
sometimes an unrealistic de-
vice. Robert Wohlforth h,
treasurer of Farrar, Straus
and Cudahy, the book pub
fishers, made an interesting
survey many years ago and,
in response to my inquiry
the other day, writes me:
1.-THE point of my private
survey was to correlate, for
my own amusement, the
production of corn in Kan
.sas during a specified time
series against the weight of
U. S. Presidents, to show that
statistics do not establish a
cause-and effect relationship.
The Series showed that,
when we have lots of corn
in Kansas, our Presidents al
ways weigh a great deal. or,
to put it another way, if we
want a real big corn crop, we
should elect Presidents who
weigh as much as William
Howard Taft"
Statistical association
could be significant, but
sometimes it merely proves
to be a fascinating coinci-
dence.

Rights Debate Back to Normal

Incorporate outbreak from
the normally urbane Russell.
It is being suggested that
the only thing that now can
save the South on the issue
is another public examination
Of his conscience by President
Eisenhower at his weekly
press conference. Knowland
has been portraying the Pres
ident as standing fast.
The Southerners have
sworn to filibuster if they fail
to win concessions on the
jury trial.
Knowland, who has been
avoiding the filibuster threat,
has begun to talk of it. This
invites the suspicion that he
is toying with the idea Of let
ting the issue ride over until
1958-an election year. Ac-
cording to one Republican
Senator this was the party's
original strategy.
The debate is still historic,
but 1t is much more normal.

Congress has been asked by
some of its well-meaning
members to take action to
recognize the alleged hazards
of cigarette smoking. But to
date there is no proof that
lung cancer is caused by to-
bacco in any form.
Coincidence is not proof
The fact that a large num-
Der of persons who smoke get
lung cancer has not been
proved to be a conclusive
reason by itself to avoid the
use of tobacco.
This writer had an unpub-
lished experience some years
ago with a case of coincidence
in the field of statistics. It
indicated wildly how figures
seeming to prove a cause
and-effect relationship were
not corroborated through any
scientific investigation there
after. A prominent physi-
clan with an investigative
turn of mind organized a
study of a big city where a
polio epidemic occurred. He
and his assistants plotted
every single case of polio on
the city map and then under
took to find out if any COM
mon denomination existed. It
was discovered that a certain
kind Of tree grew adjacent to
95 per cent of the homes
where polio had occurred.
This information led to
other studies as to the origin
of the tree and as to which
States had a considerable
number Of such trees. It
turned out that the States
which had the larger number
did have more polio cases
each year, whereas in the
States with a small number
OF such trees there were very
few persons afflicted with the
disease. 1t was even dis

Record of 624 TOrnadOes From January-May

WASHINGTON-The Weather Bureau, US. Dept. of Commerce, announced today that 624 torna- does were reported in the United States during the first five months of 1857.
 This total is the all-time nation al record for tornadoes reported in the Jan.-May period of any year. The previous five-month record total was 392 in 1855.
 During May 1857, 324 tornadoes were reported throughout the United States, according to pre- liminary findings issued by the Weather Bureau This is a record total for any month.
 During April of this year 236 tornadoes were reported-a rec ord for that month.
 In this year of records more than 100 lives were lost in torna- does through May.
 The remarkable increase in the number of tornadoes reported in recent years can be attributed primarily to the expansion of the Weather Bureaus storm reporting networks. The increase in the number of storm detection and tracking radar stations, the new public awareness of possible dan ger thru the issuance of tornado forecasts have contributed to the recent increase in the detection and reporting of tornadoes.

signal officer directed in the fall of 1856 that a complete cost and revenue study be made of the ACS. The purpose of this study was to show whether any rate adjustment was necessary and, if so, in what areas.

Bartlett Given Data by OConnell on ACS Rate Raise

Mai Gen. J. D. O'Connell, chief signal officer of the Alaska Communication System, replied yesterday to Delegate Bartlett concerning the telegraph rate in crease.

 "The rates the CACS) charges civilian users have always been a matter of concern to the Congress and the Department of the Army. There never has been any mten- ton of charging the citizens of the United States and Alaska ex- cessive rates for services, nor to make a profit
 Subcommittee on appropria- tions of the House of Representa- tiVes have frequently expressed a desire that the Department of the Army raise the rates of the ACS to bring the revenues more in line with the cost of providing the commercial services.
 ''In response to these urgings, the chief signal officer took action to determine the adequacy of the rates. First it was necessary to establish a commercial type of cost accounting system. This was done on l July 1853

 The telegraph portion of the total public offering of commer- cial cost of operating the system was S1,63O,474.
 ''The cost of providing the pub lice offering telegraph message service exceeded the revenue by S694,361 A 7417 percent in crease in rates would be required to recover the deficit. The Army did not consider a rate increase of this magnitude proper. In ad- dition, it was considered that cer- tain economics could be effected.
 'Under the new ACS rates the customer can include 15 words in message for the minimum charge. Present rates permit only 10 words for the minimum charge.
 The intra-Alaska rates will be generally lower than the present Western Union rates for the same mileage zones within the United States The Alaska-U.S. rates will be comparable to U.S.-overseas rates. :"

WASHINGTON, LP-The Atomic Energy Commission has given a Senate-House AEC Committee some details on the proposed atomic power project of the Gnu zach Electric Assn. at Anchorage.
 The AEC will provide a S5,50O,- 900 reactor; research and devel- opment valued at S8,O8O,OOO, and materials use valued at S79O,OOO. Chugach will provide site and fla cilities valued at S1,85O,OOO.
 The subcommittee has approved an amendment to the Atomic En- ergy Act requiring the AEC to advise Congress specifically of the contributions it expects to make to power projects before seeking spending authorization.
 While the proposed legislation requiring detailed information is yet to be acted on by either House the commission gave the subcom- mittee Wednesday the sort of data the bill calls for.
