Asks SIS Billion Cut
In a statement yesterday. John
S. Coleman. president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. said it is absolutely nee
lessary' to cut the budget by at
least IS billion. He said much of
this can be accomplished by re-
vamping defense operations, as
suggested by the Hoover Com
mission. and by trimming various
present and proposed Federal
programs which his organization
wants handled by the States and
local communities.

There have been number of reports from various
places in recent years about cigarette smoking
ing lung Some experts have questioned this.
In order to up the knowledge the effects of
tobacco smoking health group of doctors was
appointed in June, 1856, at the suggestion of the
American Cancer Society," the American Heart Asso-
cation and the Cancer and Heart Institute of the
National Institute of Health.
This study group has just reported that "The smok

ent studies carried in five different countries dur
ing the past Is years. have shown there is statistical
evidence to prove that lung and cigarette
smoking closely related
Lung appears five to Is times more often in
smokers than in nonsmokers On lifetime basis, it is
estimated that out of every ten who smoke
over two packs day will die of lung To be
sure lung occurs in nonsmokers also, but only
in of 275 individuals. Cigarette smoking does
not account for all of lung to be sure. The
most probable other is the contaminated air
breathe especially in cities
The facts above based statistical studies of
large groups This evidence is also supported by labor
atory studies animals The total of scientific
experiments establishes beyond reasonable doubt that

cigarette smoking is causative factor in the increase
of lung cancer. While these experts believe there is
already enough proof of the need for public health
control measures they realize that many details need
be explored before the complete story is unfoded
Much research is going and much more is needed.
We need to know the chemical in tobacco smoke
that produces in animals. Once it is known,
perhaps it be eliminated from tobacco incidentally,
the report states that most commercial cigarette filters
do not have very high efficiency, and accordingly
the of smoke reaching the lungs is not reduced
to any major degree"
We need to know also the part that atmospheric
polutants and environmental factors other than
cigarette smoking play in causing lung cancer. Per-
haps would do we'll to know why certain individuals
susceptible irrants contained in tobacco smoke
and the air we breathe. Is there something in what
eat or in physical emotional activity which
makes us more susceptible? Body hormones may have
influence
Several studies reviewed by the experts which
show that "occupationa exposure to chromate ore
radioactive dust and other agents increase the risk
OF lung cancer. However, specific occupational
posures have been demonstrated to be responsible for
only a small per cent of lung Deaths"
The study suggests that the stopping of smoking
decreases the probability of developing lung
Therefore, if you heavy smoker Zone to two
packs daily you would do well to cut down to eight
cigarettes day. or better STILL stop altogether.

An Open Letter
Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
The people of the Pacific North
west on November 6 delivered the
votes that elected a record number
of Hells Canyon supporters to the
United States Congress.
Seven Senators from the States of
Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Mon
tana now support the high dam, as
well as the majority of the North
west delegation to House of Repre-
sentatives.
We know that our Congressman
are doing their best as individuals to
secure the necessary votes to get the
high dam authorized in this Session.
We also know that the Hells Can
yon bill is the most important and
crucial piece of legislation concern
ing the Pacific Northwest before
Congress this year. We know that the
fate of every other piece of legisla-
ton for the development of public
works projects on the Columbia and
every other river of the United States
will be determined by the fate of the
Hells Canyon bill.
Congress must deliver on Hells
Canyon this year. It's a last ditch
fight with no alternatives. The out
come of the vote in Congress this
year will determine once and for all
the economic future of our entire
region and our country. We are
faced with a clear-cut proposition: if
we do not get the low-cost power and
flood control benefits from Hells
Canyon this year, we must accept
forever the status of an economically
backward region, with no opportuni-
ties for industrial expansion, no new
jobs, no new markets for goods pro
duced here and in other areas of the
United States. The vote in Congress
on the Hells Canyon bill will not
lust obtain for us the power we need
to keep our economy going-it is the
only means we have left to save our

Government Opens Swear
Old Case On $40 Million
Oil Overcharge

NEW YORK CITY-(CNS)-A
1862 suit charging that two U. S. oil
firms overcharged the government
$40 million in 195O-52 came to trial
here, April 16.
The companies shipped oil from
the Middle East to Europe and
charged more than "the lowest com
petitive market price" prevailing in
the U. S., a government attorney said
in his opening argument.
The suit involves Standard Oil Of
California, Texas Company, and four
of their jointly subsidiaries in
the Middle East. They say the prices
were negotiated cat arms length"
and were competitive.

Three of Four Workers Earning Less
Than Commonly Accepted Standards

SAN FRANCISCO (PAD The
drum beat of charges that American
workers largely spanked by organized
labor, are getting too big share of
the economic pie and are responsible
for today's initiation is far from dying
down.
There are few issues of the pub
locations of the National Association
of Manufacturers of the United
States Chamber of Commerce or the
Farm Bureau Federation that do not
blame high wages for increases in
the cost of living.
Yet analysis of the basic needs of
American workers and their actual
annual earnings shows that the vast
majority-even of unionists-earn
far from what might be called "com-
monty accepted" standards of living.
Indeed, from the viewpoint of labor
economists, the average American
worker far from getting "too much"
actually is by no means getting
enough to support the kind of living
standard that we like to believe most
Americans have. In fact, statistics
show that rs per cent are not.
Latest proof of this is a report Of
the highly respected Heller Commit
tee at the University of California
which shows that family of four,
consisting Of father, mother and two
children and 10, and which rents
it's home, needs an income of $5,-
592.59 a year or about SLOT week
to provide for the Commonly ac-
copied" standard of living.
This represents the sum of "those
goods and services that public opinion
currently recognizes as necessary to
health and reasonably comfortable liv-
ing"

San Francisco is a high-cost town
as compared to most of the rest of
the country. But even if allowance is
made for this, the weekly income for
wage earners with three dependents
in most of the rest of the country
would have to average about $104 a
week in order to meet the Heller
budget.
How many workers, who have been
getting the ''soft'' wage boosts about
which officials of the Eisenhower Adj
ministration have been complaining,
make that kind of money?
Latest statistics show that factory
production workers with record high
incomes have been averaging 1921
a week or $4,285 on a full-time year
which is by no means universal. Tenn
porary lay-offs in many industries
bring down the annual average.

SMALL. SEGMENT
In all the broad sweep of American
business and industry only a compare
lively small segment of workers is
paid enough to reach Heller stand
ards.
Based on latest earnings figures Of
the Department of Labor, who reach,
the Heller standard include bitumi-
nous coal miners, special trade con-
tractors, plumbing and heating, cleo
trical work, miscellaneous publishing
and printing services, synthetic rub
Der, products of petroleum and coal,
flint glass, iron and steel forgings
and machine tools.
Outside of these classifications the

vast majority of American workers
drop below the Heller budget. Late
February 1857 figures show average
earnings in durable goods at $89.16
with high average of $99.79 in pri-
mary metals and a low average Of
$6932 in furniture and fixtures. In
nondurable goods the high average
was $103.94 in products of petroleum
and coal with low average of salt
in finished textile products.
Put it another way. The Bureau
of the Census in its latest report on
United States incomes said, "About
four-fifths of all men who worked in
1855 were employed at full time jobs.
The median income of these men were
The median income of these men was
$4,000"
1870 OF ALL AMERICANS
FELL SHORT
The Heller Committee report calls
for an income of more than $4,000 "a
year. About "a per cent of all Ameri-
cans had such an income. More than
three-fourths did not.
Break this down into trades and
professions. In mining there were
1928 per cent with less than $4,000 a
year income; in general construction,
Ills per cent; in manufacturing, 67.5
per cent; in transportation and COM
munications, 69.5 per cent; in retail
trade, TAT per cent; in personal serv-
ices, 87.4.
Thus roughly IS per cent of Ameri-
can workers have incomes that fall
below the latest Heller budget. And
the 25 to 80 per cent that have ade-
quate or more than adequate incomes
under Heller standards include pro-
fessional workers included in their
various categories whose salaries
tend to lift the average.
