U. S. Acts to Bur
Acquisition Of
Book Wholesaler

The Government moved to-
day to prevent Parents Maya
zine Enterprises from acquiring
the Nations third largest book
wholesaler. A. c. McClurg &
Co. of Chicago.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy said the civil anti
trust suit, filed in Federal court
in Chicago. charged that the
acquisition would substantially
diminish competition.
He said that Parents Maya
zine Enterprises already owned
the second largest wholesaler,
Baker & Taylor Co. of Hillside,
N. j.. and the contemplated
acquisition of McClurg would
give Parents 27.9 per cent of
the market.
The suit asserted that book
wholesalers are particularly
important to schools and Ii
braries as these institutions
often find it easier to buy from
a wholesaler than from pub
fishers.

MoIignoncy
identified

A new X-ray procedure Is
being tested at Georgetown
University Hospital here and
90 other institutions around the
country in the hope the tech
nique will prove an accurate
means of telling whether a
breast mass is malignant or
benign.
In a speech prepared for
sessions of the Eighth Inter-
national Cancer Congress now
underway in Moscow, an Amer
lean representative said so far
the technique seems to be abou:
80 per cent accurate. To date,
one-fourth Of the data on the
test has been analysed.
DR.. Lewis c. Robbins, chief
Of the cancer control program
Of the Public Health Service
here, said in Moscow that a
total Of 1900 women coming to
the "a institutions will be
X-rayed before biopsy, using an
x-ray method developed by DR..
Robert L. Egan, associate ra-
biologist at the University of
Texas.
DR.. Egan reported the tech
nique can be 81 per cent ac-
curate. DR.. Robbins said, 1T
is expected that accommodating
experience and additional
training will lead to an accu-
racy approaching that of DR.
Egan."
Present methods for deter
mining whether a breast mass
should be biopsied (cut out and
microscopically examined) for
cancer are not infalIible, Dr.
Robbins said.
Some of the greatest re-
grets a practitioner in medi-
cine can have result from his
decision not to biopsy a breast
mass" the PHS chief said.
Therefore, additional aids In
diagnosis, he said, are being
sought.

majority opinion in a meet
ing of policymakers at the
State Department yesterday was
against dropping the control
post requirement at this time,
although some presidential ad-
visers repeatedly favored such
action.
1t was also reported that the
Presidents advisers agreed that
insp e ction arrangements at
this stage should include
the guaranteed right of on-site
inspectors in various parts of
Russia where secret atomic
tests might be held.
The administrations obvious
hope-however slender it may
be-is that new United States
proposals. to be made soon at
the disarmament conference in
Geneva, will interest the Soviet
government in serious negotia-
tons once again for a ban on
the testing of nuclear weapons.
New Concessions
Since, however, such a de-
velopment is regarded as highly
unlikely at the present stage
of the arms race, it is hoped
at least to demonstrate this
country's interest in obtaining
a test ban, even at the cost of
what would appear to be new
concessions to Soviet opposi-
ton to inspection.
Wide differences of opinion
within the administration were
reported on Just how far the
United States should go in its
new proposals. Some members
of Mr.. Kennedy's White House
staff were said to favor elimi-
mating the demand for inter-
nationally stated control posts
on Soviet territory and relying
instead on more distant Scien-
tific installations to detect any
sneak atomic explosions once
the ban was in effect.
However, informants said
this view was not supported at
yesterdays meeting, and thus
would not constitute one of the
recommendations to the Presi-
dent.
