Cigarettes
ToSet New
Mark in '58
BY the Associated Press

Cigarette smoking is expect
ed TO set u new record this year
The Agriculture Department
said in report on the tobacco
situation today that domestic
consumtion this year is ex-
pected to total 424 billion ciga-
rettes-3,5 per cent more than
in 1857 and % per cent more
than 10 years ago.
The agency predicted further
increases in 1859. In similar
report last June the depart
ment said the increase in ciga-
rette consumption largely re-
fleets an increase in the num-
Der of persons of smoking age
and a continuing trend toward
filter tip cigarettes.
The per capita consumption
Of tobacco in the form of ciga-
retteS still is below the record
average of 1916 pounds set in
1858. 1t dipped to 9.29 pounds
in 1856 after some medical au-
thorities said there was a con-
nection between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer. This
years average is expected to
be SAC pounds.
The department said smok-
ers spent over $5l4 billion for
cigarettes in 1857. This years
outgo will be larger.
Filter tip cigarettes continue
to be promoted extensively by
all leading companies and may
account for about half of all
cigarettes used this year, the
department said.

Eisenhower
Sends Note
To KnowIund

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20
(AP) Senator Knowland, Re-
publican of California, made
public yesterday a Dear Bill"
letter in which President Eisen-
hover declared he never has
expressed himself lone way or
another" on the right-to-work
issue.
Senator Knowland, Republi-
can candidate for Governor, is
backing a ballot measure to
enact a California right-to-
work law. He said opponents of
the initiative have put UP bill
boards representing the Presi-
dent as being against such leg
lslation.
Il have never expressed my
self one way or another on
whether any State should ex-
ereise this jurisdiction, feeling
as I do, that this should be de-
termined by the citizens of each
State" the President wrote.
ANY statement indicating or
implying that / have done so
is a misrepresentation of the
facts" Mr.. Eisenhower said in
the letter dated September %.
The President noted he had
been asked to recommend re-
peal of the Taft Hartley Acts
clause pernitting union shop
contracts, except in States with
ight-to-worI laws, so that
States no longer would have
jurisdiction to enact such laws.
He said he also had been
urged to recommend enactment
Of a national right-to-work law
which would ''have the effect of
denying to the States freedom
of action in this field"
Il have to reject all of these
suggested recommendations, Tor
I am opposed to depriving the
States Of jurisdiction in this
matter" President Eisenhower
said.

NewSyriaL Law
Hits FeudaIism

DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. %
tAP).-The NasSer regim e
struck a bard blow at feudal-
ism in Syria this week end with
new law affecting nearly 5000
big landowners.
The Syrian law limits land
holdings to 200 acres of fully
cultivated land. 1t closely par
allels a decree issued in the
early days of the Egyptian rev.
olution. Land in excess of 200
acres will be taken over by the
state for redistribution to peas
ants. The old owners will be
compensated over a 40-year
period.
The Minister of Agriculture,
Ahmed Hal Yunes. said IS
landowners in Syria hold $500
acres or more. But one estate in
Northern Syria is reported to
consist of 100000 acres.
Big landowners own approx
mately 3.5 million acres of the
l2.5 million cultivated in Syria,
AS in Egypt. the land mea-
sure appears to be inteded to
eliminate the power of feudal
lords. In the past big landlords
could count on peasants votes
and economic power to give
them a powerful political voice
in the country.

The corporation will employ

Apparently the board, in its

The corporation will pay mot

The lease is so worded that
the school board may resume
control Of the property at any
time that it becomes possible
for the board to legally operate
the schools under both State

At present, State and Fed
eral direct completely opposite
action: The Federal law says
