ton Of high-ranking Republi-
can leaders turned out at Ma
tional Airport yesterday after
noon to greet history's first
popularity Republican
Senator from Texas, John
Tower.
Mr.. Tower, victor over
intermin Senator William
Blakely. Democrat, in last
Saturdays special election for
the remaining five-and-a-half
years of the term of Vice Presi-
dent johnson, proved to be a
notably un-Texas style hero:
He wore a fedora, not a white
Stetson; he talked, rather than
doomed; and his words were
clearly understandable, even to
the Yankees in the crowd.
Most surprising of all. the
Texas Tower proved to be well
on the short side of six feet.
When he was embraced by
Senate Minority Leader Dirksen
at the bottom Of the ramp, he
all but disappeared from view.
None Of this, Of course, made
the slightest difference to the
Republican welcoming COM
mittee, most Of whose members
never dreamed they would see
the day when Texas would
send a Republican to the
Senate.
They turned out in force to
cheer Mr.. Tower, headed by
Republican National Chairman
Morton; the Vice Chairman,
Mrs. Clare B. Williams; Sen
ators Bridges, Bush, Kuchel,
Goldwater and Schoeppel; Re-
preventative Miller and Repre-
sentative Alger Of Dallas, who
has been the only Republican
in the Texas delegation.

The Senator -elect, who will
be sworn in after the election
results have been certified
about June IL, credited his
victory to the work of "volun-

COntlnueu from FIRST rage
Mr.. Poulson denied reports he
had throat cancer, contending
he had to limit public appear
ances because Of laryngitis. Mr..
Poulson, backed by Los Angeles
four metropolitan newspapers,
claimed Mr.. Yorty was running
with underworld support-and
Mr.. Yorty retaliated with q $2.2
slander suit. Mr.. Yorty
claimed Mr.. Poulson WAS a
bumbling figurehead for a
downtown political machine.
Mr.. Poulson said the Me-
mortal Day riot in Griffith
Park-involving more than 200
Negroes and rs policemen-was
partly responsible for his defeat.
'It hurt US badly on the east
side Of town." he said. "And
it's reflected in the votes"
The riot was touched off after
police tried to arrest four Negro
youths who sllegedly refused to
pay for rides on O park merry
go-round and, police said, as-
saulted an attendant.
During Mr.. Poulson's eight
years in office. Los Angeles en-
barked on a multi million
dollar civic center improvement
project, beefed up police and
fire departments-and finally
got major league baseball.
But Los Angeles also was
plagued with Illustrations and
growing pains: Smog, traffic
congestion and rumblings that
the city had given too much to
bring the Brooklyn Dodgers to
Los Angeles.
Mr.. Poulscon got worldwide
headlines in 1859 when Soviet
Premier Khrushchev visited
this city. Looking directly at
the Russian, the Mayor told him
at a welcoming banquet: "You
shall not bury us and we shall
not bury you" This was a ref

made in Texas, advocating in

Cuba. Mr.. Tower said he had
really said only that "the time
may be imminent when we will
have to militarily occupy Cuba. "
At that point, Senator
Dirksen laid a fatherly hand
on his arm and led him away
from the press.
Mr.. Tower will be introduced
to the crowd tonight at the

Fish Flour
Draws Ire
OF CIVIC

The Board of Directors of
the General Federation of
Women's Clubs voted yester-
day to protest "the placing
on the market of a whole
fish flour containing intest-
inal contents and other in
gradients unacceptable for
human consumption"
In an emergency resolu-
ton adopted at the final
session of a three-day meet
ing at the Statler Hilton
Hotel, delegates said a So
called whole fish flour" is
presently being manufac-
turered as a cheap source of
protein food.
Made from the whole fish,
the product includes "the in
teStines and intestinal con-
tents that are not normally
regarded as acceptable for
human food in the United
States" the resolution stated.
Mrs. E. Lee Ozbirn, GFWC
president, released the text
after the closed session.
Action protesting against
the fish concentrate had
been requested by Mrs. E.
Morgan Pryse, president of
the District Federation.
Commissioner George P.
Larrick of the Food and Drug
Administration has ruled
that the fish flour is "estheti-
cally Objectionable" to Amer
ican housewives and its sale
has not been permitted in the
United States.
However, preliminary steps
were taken recently to ap-
prove the product as result of
pressure from Interior Secre-
tary Udall, Food-for- Peace
Director George McGovern
and several Senators. Use of
the concentrate has been
proposed for countries suffer-
ing from protein deficiency
diseases.
The CIVIC resolution
pointed out that the feder-
alton has consistently worked
with the Food and Drug Ad
ministration to protect the
consumer and to insure pure

lily consumption"

Vehemently opposing these
conclusions are other medical
authorities and spokeSmen
for the tobacco industry.
DIR. Joseph Berksor of the

meSota, states that he doubts
that smoking is the culprit.
He con e n d S that such

is merely statistical and that
clinical eveidence indicates
quite the opposite.
Some researchers look upon
air pollution as a major
cause of lung cancer. They
believe that the exhaust gas
eS from automobiles and the
fumes from chimneys are an
important factor. AS a result
in many cities across the
country, steps are being ia
ken to eradicate or control
these conditions.
Geauga County, according
to the Public Health Service,
