His statement came in the
controversy over the question
of the effects heavy smoking
has on the human body. Some
scientists and researchers have
testified that there appears to
be a direct connection between
smoking and the increased in
cidence of certain diseases,
notably lung cancer.
Considers Burney's Statement
Appearing before the House
Government Operations sub
committee on Legal and None
tary Affairs, Commissioner Sc
crest said the commission had
taken special note of a state
ment by DR.. Leroy E. Burney.
surgeon general Of the United
States.
He referred to DR.. Burney's
assertion that there was an lin
creasing and consistent body Of
evidence that excessive cigar
cite smoking is one of the caus-
alive factors in lung cancer"
Mr.. Secrest said DR.. Burneys
comment called for a fresh ap-
proach by the commission in its
regulation of cigarette adver-
Using. To that end. he said,
the commission has directed
the consumer survey to deter
mine the public's current
understanding of the meaning
of the TECHNOLOGY used for fill
ter-tip cigarettes.
The commissioner also re-
ported that the commission
was giving serious considera-
ton to other steps 1t might
take or suggest in the light of
new information on the subject
Of smoking.
Drug Law Excludes Tobacco
He told the subcommittee
that existing law excluded to-
bacco from regulations govern
ing drugs. but added that Con-
gress could enact legislation
that would require tobacco
companies to state on the labels
Of cigarette packs the amounts
Of nicotine and tar contained
in their products.

Some witnesses have told the

safer" through the use of ef-

Mr.. Secrest detailed for the
committee the procedure fol-

providing increases for the
Governments retired employees.
The proposed pension increases
would come out of funds in the
civil service retirement system
until 1860. when appropriations
would be required.
The a d ministration is
strongly opposed to the bill on
two groundS-the use of funds
in the civil service retirement
system and the ultimate cost
after 1860. The administration
contends the retirement fund
can't stand an additional A.
nancial burden and it feels
that obligating the Govern
ment to additional expendi-
lures after 1860 is not a sound
financial move.
A House Civil Service sub
committee is expected to ap-
prove a bill Monday.
There is no doubt Of the sem
timent in Congress in favor of
annuity increases for retired
employees, who have made a
convincing case of their des-
perate need for financial
assistance. But the administra-
TONS opposition makes such
increases this year unlikely.

Bergman Happy Over Oscar Award
 For 'Anastasia'
By JAMES BACON

HOLLYWOOD, R - Ingrid Bergman, who exiled herself from Hollywood eight years ago amid scorn and scandal said yes terday she is delighted and very happy that the movie industry has given her its highest honor.
 The 42-year-old Swedish star won the academy Oscar at it's 18th annual awards presentation Tuesday night. The gold award was for her portrayal of the be- wildered pretender princess in "Anastasia."
 Yul Brynner won the top-actor award for "The King and l." and Around the World in 30 Days was acclaimed the best picture of 1856.
 Miss Bergman, in Paris, ex- pressed her delight and said she was especially glad Brynner had received an award. She said ''We became very good friends" when they co-starred in 'Anastasia" :.
 Winners of supporting-player awards were Dorothy Malone, as sexy Texan heiress in Written On The Wind," and Anthony Quinn, as eccentric artist Gaguin of ''Lust for Life"
 Three special awards were handed out during the telecast ceremonies.
 Eddie Cantor received an hon. orary award for his activities as Hollywood's good will ambas- sador.
 The Thalberg award for con- sistently fine production went to Buddy Adler, head of production at 20th Cegntury-Fox.
 The Jean Hersholt award for humanitarian services was pre- sented to Y. Frank. Freeman, Paramount production head.
 The $10O gold-plated statuettes voted annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences can be worth millions to careers and boxoffice crosses.
 The telecast was emceed in Hollywood by comedian Jerry Lewis and in New York by ac- tress Celeste Holm. It was Lewis second year in a row.

Jet Bomber Over Texas Aloft Four Hours to Find Landing Gear Trouble

ABILENE, Texas, R-Tanker planes refueled a BAY jet bomber over Dyess Air Force Base Wednesday, keeping it aloft four hours while the crew tried to de- termine if the planes landing gear was locked.
 The plane later made a safe landing. None of the four men aboard was injured.
 A base spokesman said the planes instruments failed to func- ton properly, leading the crew to suspect the landing gear was not in place.
 The radiQ transmitter also was out, and while the plane circled, the crew communicated with the ground personnel by dropping messages from the bomb bay, wagging wings and flashing lights.
