Doctor Suggests
Virginia Tobacco
Is Tied to Cancer

LONDON, Aug. 2 pa doc
tor suggested today that any
relationship between smoking
and lung cancer might be
blamed chiefly on Virginia to-
bacco.
In a letter to the British
Medical Journal, DR.. Antonis
Georgeades of Cyprus said:
I'm the past Turkish tobacco
was smoked in large quantities
throughout Europe, and there
were not so many cases Of can
Ger Of the lung as there are
now. Is the increase because
of the change from Turkish to-
bacco to the almost universal
use Of Virginian?"
The doctor said that since the
components of Turkish and Vir-
ginian tobaccos are different,
their effects may also differ.
He called for research into the
carcinogenic properties Of diff
ferent kinds Of tobacco.

Injuries Scores

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2 up.
A blast rocked q six-car Broad
Street subway train during the
morning rush hour today. in
juring scores and causing panic
in the underground tube.
The three hospitals to which
the injured were taken said
none had been hurt seri-
ously. Many suffered cuts
from smashed subway train
windows. Others were treated
for shock.
The Philadelphia Transport
tation Co. said the blast came
after the motor of the lead car
on the passenger damned train
short circuited. causing a cir
cult breaker to explode.
The blast and minor fire in
the lead car caused many of
the passengers to smash win
dows in the subway cars and
scramble out to the Erie Ave.
platform. Many wandered to
the street level and we're given
sedatives at nearby drug stores.

Prayers for rain are go

The Most Rev. Patrick A.

requested that the prayer

The Prayer for Rain" is
a little-used prayer from
the Roman missal. 1t
reads:
"Oh God, in Whom we
live, and move, and have
our being, grant us rain, in
due abundance. that, being
sufficiently helped with
temporal gifts, we may the
more confidently seek after

many fellow Americans will
continue in effect to be dis
enfranchised.
Finally no American can
fail to feel the utmost con-
Germ that an attempt should
be made to interpose Q jury
trial between a Federal Judge
and his legal orders. During
our history as q nation great
Americans have pointed out
that such a procedure would
weaken our whole judicial
system and particularly the
prestige of the Federal jul
dietary.
In this case it will also
make largely ineffective the

Hoffa Is Linked
ToCO|Iusion
Substundcrd System
Seen in New York
BY WILLIAM HINES
and CECIL HOLLAND

A story Of union-manage-
ment collision to keep Puerto
Rican and Negro workers in
New York in economic subjec-
ton was told today to the SEN
ate Rackets Investigating Com
mittee.
John McNiff, executive secre-
tary Of the Association Of Cath
ole Trade Unionists, named
Teafnster Vice President James
Hoffa as one Of the leaders in
the vanguard Of these question
able union practices.
I'VE would like to state that
the picture in New York City's
marginal industries is a compli-
Gated one," Mr.. McNih said.
But one factor stands out. The
mob is nearly in control Of
every union that deals in this
type Of shop. With the emer-
gence Of James Hoffa and John
O'Rourke as leaders Of the
teamster unions in Metropoli-
tan New York, the Puerto Rican
and Negro worker will be ex-
tremely hard-pressed ever to
gain honest democratic trade
unionism.
"Cites Standard Practice"
Mr.. NcNiff told the commit
tee that his group has been
fighting ia b o Encouragement
collision" for some time. He
said the standard practice Of
collision takes approximately
this form:
"The union approaches the

group genuinely interested in
protecting the workers.
"a contract is signed which
has all or most Of the following
characteristics: A wage scale

minimum of 81 an hour or a
weekly average Of $40 to $42 a
week: two to four holidays; no
sick leave; little or no vacation
pay; no welfare benefits; no
seniority and a promise-al-
ways fulfilled-of no enforce
ment.
From the signing Of this
initial 'gentleman'S agreement
between the company and the
union, the management
climate existing in the factory
or shop covered by the contract
may be described as follows:
The workers are afraid Of both
the union and company. No

him. The time for retort. the
counter-claim, the counter
tatistic, had come and gone.
Roaming Captains
Senator Neuberger, who
earlier had given the center
forces their greatest opening
by suggesting a change in the
proposed amendment which
was accepted by its authors,
said in a sing-song voice that
the time for talk was largely
past. He proved to be wrong
by several hours.
The captains of the opposing
debating teams roamed the
floor. Minority Leader Know
land. who on Tuesday seemed
confident, bore a much-marked
list. Majority Leader johnson
huddled with his lieutenants.
Senator Russell, the adamant
leader Of the Southerners, had
no occasion to speak-his work
was being done for him by the
middle-grounders. He sat, with
his head back, his fingertips
pressed together, sometimes
closing his eyes when oppo-
nents' expressions oppressed
him.
For the freshmen, 1t was a
big night. The boy orator from

crat, made the evenings most

them were in,their seats and in

rose on call to speak for a
rigidly allotted time on an as
signed subject: THE Jury

The prize, of course. was the
acceptance or rejection Of the
jury-trial amendment. the
point in the civil rights bill at
which the shaky coalition of
liberal Democrats and Republic
cans had chosen to make their
stand. But for all the passion
that went into the last hours
of debate, all that might have
been at stake was a copy OF

jury TriaIAmendment
Assai|ed byPresident
Hits Senate
On 5l-42
Approval

The possibility that President
Eisenhower may veto the Sen.
ate's version of the civil rights
bill arose today.
In quick and violent reaction
to the Senate vote of 81 to a.
adopting a jury trial amend
ment to the rights bill, the
President denounced the move
as bitterly disappointing" 1t
would, he charged, make the
measure largely ineffective"
in protecting Americans right
to vote.
Mr.. Eisenhower also asserted
that interposing a jury trial
between . Federal Judge and
his legal orders" would weaken
our whole judicial system"
KnowIand Expects Defeat
His statement came after
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland predicted that the
civil rights bill was dead for
this session Of Congress at least
because the House would re-
fuse to approve the Senate
amendment. Senate Democratic
Leader johnson, however. pre-
dicted passage of the bill by
the middle of next week.
The Senate's action adopted
the amendment guaranteeing q
jury trial in criminal contempt
cases resulting from violation
of Federal court orders enforc-
ing a citizens right to vote.
The amendment was written
into a section Of the measure
authorizing the Attorney Gen.
leral to act on his own to seek
Federal court injunctions
against anyone interfering with
any citizens right to vote
The language used in q state
ment dictated by the President
to his press secretary, James c.
Hagerty. indicated clearly that
he would prefer to have no
civil rights bill at all rather
than one with the jury trial
provision in it.
When Mr.. Hagerty was asked
specifically if the statement
meant that Mr.. Eisenhower
would veto the measure, he
said he had no comment other
than the statement he had
read.
Won't Expand Statement
A reporter pointed to the
Presidents assertion that the
Jury trial provision would
weaken the country's whole jul
dicial system. and asked If Mr..
Hagerty would seriously bubble
with an Interpretation that
this meant Mr.. Eisenhower
would rather have no bill than
accept such a provision.
Dodging q direct answer, Mr..
Hagerty said II have nothing I
can add"
The press secretary read the
Presidents statement to news
men soon after a cabinet meet
ing at the White House. He
said the Senate vote was DIT
cuSsed at the meeting.
After the meeting, Mr.. Hag-
erty said. the President dictated
his statement to the press Sec
retary and no one else particle
pated in drafting it.
The statement reflected an
latitude previously reported by
Senator Potter. Republican Of
Michigan, who described Mr..
Eisenhower as damned UNI
happy" about the Senate vote.

cleared, Senator johnson said
