A recommendation tina
hopelessly Ill mental patients

studies of cancer causes is un-
der consideration by a House
subcommittee.
DR.. r. H. Rigdon, professor
Of pathology at the University
Of Texas. made such proposal
yesterday.
In testimony before the
House Government Operations
subcommittee on legal ano
monetary matters, he urged
legislation which would per.
NIT this kind of experimental
ton on persons who have nc

DR.. Rigdon attacked gener-

smoking for lung cancer. The
charge had been made to the
committee by DR.. E. Cuyler
Hammond Of the American
Cancer Society and DR.. Ernest
L. Wynder of the Sloan-Ket-
teripg Institute of New York
Those witnesses said smoking
is not the only cause of cancer
but is convincingly linked with
the incidence of the disease.
DR.. Rigdon shared the view
of DR.. Clarence Cook Little. Z
researcher for the tobacco
industry.
Sees Data insufficient
The data on which cancer o.
the lung is considered to result
from cigarette smoking is no.
accurate enough to permit tn,
conclusions which have beer

"A man who smokes three

not inhale any more smoke
than the man who smokes onl,

The United States, Britain and
France were reported today to
be studying the possibility OF
persuading Egypt to revise its
proposed Suez Canal operating
plan.
Diplomatic officials saw no
chance Of getting any substantial
concessions in Egyptian Presi-
dent Canal Abdal Nasser's basic
canal policy. But some thought
notifications might be obtained
which would make his proposal
more palatable to the Western
powers.
Col. NasSer up to now has been
insistent on operating the canal
on his own terms, with Egypt
collecting all ship tolls.
The main Western objection
is that. under the Nasser plan,
canal users would be entirely at
the mercy of the Egyptian gov
eminent and that procedures
for appeals from any discrimina-
tory acts were not sufficiently
nailed down TO offer real hope
of relief from such acts.
In negotiations with United
States Ambassador Raymond A.
Hare at Cairo. Col. NasSer is re-
ported to have indicated will
ingness to deal on canal matters
with shipping company represen-
tatives rather than with the
governments of user nations.
He is also reported to have
said he would consider including

Big 3 to Seek Revisions
In Suez Operating Plan

in his proposed declaration on the
canal any specific new points to
be derived from a set of govern
ing principles recommended by
the U. N. Security Council last
fall.
Col. Nasser has refused to write
in these six principles themselves
on the ground they are subject
to too many conflicting inter-
pretations. But 1t is now UNDER
stood that If the United States
comes UP with suggestions to
cover particular practices in the
operation of the canal, he might
be willing to incorporate these
suggestions.
The six principles were de-
signed TO insure fair treatment
for all vessels using the water
way-in effect. to insulate the
canal from Egyptian political
manipulation.
Britain has been pressing the
United States to take the whole
Suez problem back into the U. N.
Council on the ground
that Egypt had ignored the six
principles and that the negotia-
tons in Cairo were getting no.
There was talk here today that
the problem may be brought up
in a Security Council meeting
But officials said that
II this developed. it would not
necessarily mean that the nego-
tiations in Cairo were at an end.

communist rebellion. He was
repeatedly put off by Hungary's
Red authorities.
Observers said at this late
date. the invitation would do
little to achieve the original pur-
pose-determine Just what role
Soviet arms played in putting
down the revolt.
Hungarian Delegate Peter Mod
visited Mr.. Hammarskjold here
yesterday. Afterward Mr.. Mod S
delegation issued a statement
saying:
Referring. in the conversa-
ton. to the invitation extended
to the Secretary-General by the
Hungarian government in the
spring of the last year, Mr.. Mod
informed the Secretary General
that the Hungarian government
welcomes him to Budapest at any
time convenient for him."
Needs No Comment
A spokesman in Mr.. Hammar-
skjold's Office said. I'VE don't
think the statement calls for any
comment"
Asked whether Mr.. Hammar-
skiold planned to visit Budapest,
he replied only. "his plans have
been fixed for some time"
Hungary, as a new U. N. mem
Der, last spring invited Mr.. Ham
marskjold for a visit. In July,
he visited central and eastern
European capitals but skipped
Budapest.
Last November 4. while Soviet
forces were putting down the
rebellion, the General Assembly
called on the Soviet Union to
stop armed intervention in the
internal affairs of Hungary"
The United States-sponsored
resolution also requested Hun
gary and the Soviet Union to
admit observers to Hungary for
an investigation intended to lead
to suggestions from Mr.. Ham,
marskiold on methods to bring
an end to the existing situation. !"
Hungary refused to let any
observers in. On November 81,
Mr.. Hammarskjold offered to 20
to Budapest himself. Two weeks
later, Foreign Minister Imre
Horvath told the Assembly he
was ready to discuss a date and
arrangements for such a visit.
But when Mr.. Hammarskjold
said he could get to Budapest
December l6, Budapest radio de-
:lared this date would not be con-
venient for Hungary.
Mr.. Hammarskjold then said
