To Meet q ChoIIenqe

may affect the votes of the legislators,
President Kennedy has sent to Capitol
Hill particularly persuasive and we'll
reasoned argument for "a wholly new
instrument" to replace the 28-year-old
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act.
In brief, the President asks for new
tariff-negotiating powers, greater in
both fleXibility and extent than those
allowed him under the law which eX-
pireS next June 80. He asks that these
greater powers be divided into two spe-
authority to reduce existing tariffs by
so per cent, with reciprocity, and in
some cases applicable to whole cate
gorieS (acrosS the board) of products;
two, special authority to be used in
negotiating with the European Eco
nomic Community (the Common Mar
ket) to reduce or even eliminate en-
tirely all tariffs on those groups of
products where the United States and
the EEC together account for 80 per
cent or more of world trade in a rep
reSentative period
In making his case, Mr.. Kennedy
has touched all bases" in anticipation
of the great debate and the exercise
OF preSSureS that are assured. He has
explained, for those who need a re-
minder, the vast worldwide economic
changes of very recent years-including
the amazing successful development
of the Common Market, the urgency of
improving our international trade posi-
tion to prevent or lessen the drain on
our gold reserves, and the threat of
the Communist trade offensive. He has
catalogued the potential benefits to
American industry, agriculture, labor
and consumer which should stem from
assuring our export goods access to a
prosperous and co-ordinated West Eu-
ropean market that may soon have
population half again as large as our
own. And he has spoken confidently
of the ability Of our own producers to
compete-at home If industry and labor
cooperate in all aspects of efficient
productivity, and abroad If tariff barriers
to entrance of our goods can be lowered.
To our traditional trading partners
Canada, Japan and Latin America, for
eXample-he has promised to help Sc
cure them advantages comparable to
those sought for ourselves. And to
the many in American industry and
labor who are UNDERSTANDABLE fearful
of greater foreign competition, he has
promised wide range Of safeguards
and adjustment assistance"
In a sense, the Kennedy program
in this case is truly one of attempting
to establish new frontiers" in inter-
national commerce, with its ultimate
goal greater economic unity and
strength among nations that are free.
In the transition period, at least, the
risks are obvious and it is not easy to
minimize these for certain of our own
industries that might be hurt or work.
erS who might become jobless. If one
thing above all must be remembered,
however, it is that the pattern of
the worlds economy, its markets and
its productive capacities has indeed
changed in these past few years. This
being so, our own policies and prac-
ticeS must be geared to the present
not to past when the challenges to
our economic power were relatively in
significant.

Cancer Research Progress Report (8)
By THOMAS R. HENRY

Cancer presents a quite diff
ferent picture among Catho-
lie nuns than among women
in general.
This has just been reported
by the National Cancer In
stitute of the Public Health
Service. Death rates in three
orders Of nuns were COM
pared with those of a group
Of women in the general pop
ulation of similar age and
backgrounds, with particular
reference to malignant tu-
mors. The study was designed
to detect any differences that
might be attributed to the
single as contrasted with the
married state.
All the studies indicate.
says the report, that single
women have a lower risk Of
mortality early in life and
then increasingly higher
rates, but with a lifetime rate
that is much higher than
that of married women. This
in a way, was to be expected,
since nursing babies almost
undoubtedly is a contributing
factor in breast cancer.
Some Findings
1.-The results" says the re-
port" confirmed that the
mortality risk Of cancer Of the
uterus is much higher among
married than among single
women.
"The sisters showed a lower
cancer mortality than the
controls between the ages of
20 and SO, higher rates above
that age, and total expert
ence about the same. They
showed a much higher NOR
tality rate from tuberculosis
than did the controls, and
highest risk occurring be-
tween the ages of 20 and 90"
But throughout lifetimes,
the study showed, any advan-
tage of the nuns was can
celed out with advancing
years.
1t long has been recognized
that heavy cigarette smoking
is at least a contributing fac
tor to lung cancer, now rap
idly increasing in this coun-
try. Present in cigarette smoke
is a recognized cancer-pro-
ducing substance, benzpy-
rene. There is also, among
inhalers, continuous physical
irritation of the bronchial
tubes.

ton has just been reported
by DR.. Paul Kotin of the
University of Southern CAL
ifornia, in work carried out
under the sponsorship of the
National Cancer Institute of
the Public Health Service.
The institute has just re-
ported some of his results.
Laboratory analysis was
made of the presence of
benzpyrene and other sub
stances which might cause
cancer, both in the smoke in
hailed and that which merely
comes from a lighted cigarette
held in the hand. The
particular cancer-producing
chemical was detected in the
condensate of eight puffs as
follows: 35 to so microgramS
in the inhaled smoke and 1875
micrograms in the smoke
from the burning end held
in the hand.
Other Studies Made
There was" says the re-
port, greater production Of
the carcinogen during the
period between puffs than
during the period of actual
smoke inhalation.
"Other laboratory studies
were conducted to determine
the effect Of cigarette smoke
on the respiratory epithelium.
Isolated epithelial segments
were exposed to cigarette
smoke products in a specially
designed chamber. Three
phases of response were OBJ
served in the flow of mucous
on the epithelium. First there
was a sharp increase which
reached a peak in a few Sec
onds. Then there was a sharp
increase of about 16 minutes
duration, and finally a re-
covery period of about 80
minutes.
1.-The data confirm that
cigarette smoking is a causa-
tive factor in the increasing
incidence of lung cancer. DR..
Kotin, however, disagrees
with the conclusion that it
is the presence of certain
cancer inducing substances in
the smoke that explains this
relationship. Rather, he sug-
gestS, cigarette smoke is a po-
tent irritant. The irritant ef-
feet is wholly unSpecific and
is capable of being produced
by numerous other environ
mental irritants that differ
from cigarette smoke both in
chemical composition and
physical properties"

who subscribe to it for such worth
while purpose as to keep informed on
Red tactics. The amendment should re-
ceive careful consideration in the Senate
to make sure that it does not invite
reprisals abroad that could affect our

THE POLITICAL MILL
A Slick Political Operation
By GOULD LINCOLN

President Kennedy's polit-
ical strategy to get a "yes"
or mo" vote in the House
of Representatives and the
Senate on his proposal to
create a new Department of
Urban Affairs and Housing
is likely to bring such a re-
suit, especially in the House.
But at the same time it raises
a question: Good government
versus politics. The issue is
whether the Federal Govern
ment should take over more
and more functions and &C
tivities which properly are
duties and responsibilities of
the local and State govern
mentS. Aside from this, there
is the Presidents apparent
determination to ignore Con-
gress and its legislative proc
esses If necessary to get his
will in the creation of a Gov
ernment department whose
head will have cabinet stat
us-a new department which
eventually will 60 far beyond
the matters Of housing and
urban renewal recommended
in the administrations bill.
The House Rules Committee
tabled the measure Wednes-
day by a vote of 8 to 6, deny
ing it consideration by the
House unless through a petit
ton signed by 218 members
or on a calendar Wednes-
day"
Creation Of the proposed
department not only would
bring about the appointment
of undersecretaries, assistant
secretaries and a large num-
ber of lesser employees, fat
tening the already huge Fed
eral payroll, but it might
put the Federal Government
in position to tackle (and
control through Federal ap-
propriation) transportation,
policing and many other mat
ters now reserved to local
governments.
Tactic Against G. o. p.
1t was entirely clear from
the Presidents statements in
his Wednesday afternoon
press conference, after the
House Rules Committees &C
ton, that he hoped to put
at a disadvantage the Repub-
licans who avowedly are seek
ing to increase their votes
in the big metropolitan cen
ters and regain some of the
Negro vote, which in recent
years has gone overwhelming
ly Democratic. For the Presi-
dent apparently believes that
the populations of the cities
as we'll as their mayors and
other elected officials, will be
glad to turn over to the Fed
eral Government some of the
problems that burden them
today. Further, he an
nounced at his press con-
ference he intended to ap-
point a Negro, Robert Weaver
head Of all the Federal hous-
ing agencies, If and when he
is able to set up the new de-
partment. Mr.. Weaver thus
would become the first of his
race to hold full cabinet Of
fice-another evidence of the
Kennedy administrations de-
sire to give recognition to Ne
groes.
Whether the President can
get away with his maneuver
to bypass the House Rules
Committee remains to be
seen. The Republicans in the
House have been pretty solid
ly opposed to creation of the
Evening star., 1962-01-27

new department on the
ground that the Federal Gov
ernment should not further
extend its bureaucracy over
the affairs of the people
and concentrate all forms of
government in Washington.
the National Capital. Also
they are not inclined to be
impressed by the promised
appointment of a Negro to
cabinet office.
They contend that the
President, If he desired, could
do much more for the ex-
tension of civil rights, so far
as the Negroes and other mi
noritieS are concerned, by
really pressing for enactment
Of further and stronger civil
rights legislation. They join
with certain liberal Demo-
Gratis in saying that Mr.. Ken
nedy has been treading light
ly in the matter of such leg
iSlation.
In addition, they point out
that President Kennedy. when
organizing his cabinet, Of
fered the office Of Postmas-
ter General to Negro Rep
reSentative William L. Daw-
son of Chicago who, for rea-
sons Of his own, declined and
stayed on in the House.
Defeat Possible
At the present writing, it
appears the President may
lose his fight in House or
Senate or both. Admittedly
the vote may be close. When
the President has submitted
his reorganization plan for
a Department of Urban At
fairs, it will remain before
Congress and automatically
establish the new department,
unless it is vetoed by a ma
jority vote in one of the
houses of Congress within go
days.
When former President Eli
Senhower sent to Congress
his proposal for creation of
the newest Federal Govern
ment department - that of
Health, Education and We'll
fare-it was followed by a bill
for creation Of such a depart
ment. Congress acted prompt
ly and passed the bill. The
Kennedy administration,
faced with defeat in the
House Rules Committee and a
possible lengthy filibuster in
the Senate, discarded the idea
of pressing for favorable
action in Congress and de-
cided to take the chance of
a veto of the new depart
ment. The House Rules Com
mittee divided in it's vote to
table the administrations bill
for the new department 5 Re-
publicanS and 4 Democrats
to 6 Democrats support
ing the bill. The committee is
composed of 10 Democrats
and S Republicans.
The Democrats are doing
their best to make it appear
that the Republicans are op-
posing the creation of the
Urban Affairs Department in
order to prevent appointment
of a Negro to the cabinet.
1t is a slick move and likely
to be so recognized. AS al
ready stated, the President,
when he first picked his cab
met, offered a place to a Ne
gro. The appointment didn't
stick. At that time, it was
suggested in some quarters
that the whole operation was
carried out with tongue in
cheek.

painters Of the 1950s, best
known for his vast canvases OF

Like the museum, the exhibit
ton, with a few reservations,
was very well received by the
invited audience of artists and
art writers.
The artists easily outnum-
bered the writer's. Among those
present were David Smith,

High ranking officials In
business, industry and educa-
ton agreed today to go ahead
with plans for a permanent ex-
position Of American science
and industry in Washington.
A spokesman announced at
a meeting at the Hotel Statler
that the industrialists' group,
after six months Of study. has
decided an exposition here on
free enterprise, to be supported
by industry, is feasible"
The first step in the project,
he said, will be to establish a
steering committee to talk with
Federal officials working in the
field of exhibits, with major
national business organizations
and with heads Of leading ma
tional corporations.
According to present think
ing, the earliest the exhibition
could open would be in 1866.
The project has been en-
visioned in at least two diff
ferent sites in Washington. The
Metropolitan Washington
Board of Trade has already in
dorsed a proposal making 1t
part of a huge Federal City
Center" in downtown Wash
ington.

However, the opinion said,
"the visiting, attending and

The opinion was written after

3 Row Dwellings

Damaged by Fire

A two-alarm blaze caused ex-

Firemen said the flames were
most intense in the center unit,
a two-story brick residence at

by the six-member Alexander
Williams family.
When neighbors, alerted by
thick clouds Of smoke, called
the fire department shortly be-
fore IL am, the Williamses
were absent-in school or at
work, according to District Fire
Inspector B. w. johnson.
Inspector johnson said the
blaze apparently started on q
rear porch of the Williams resi-
dence, then spread into the
interior and to portions Of the
two adjacent dwellings. No one
was injured.

upon a "rubber-Stamp Con-
gresS" for automatic approval.
Mr.. johnson asserted that
the President wisely and sue
cessfully interviewed, just as he
had promised to do, as soon
as he had "incontrovertable
evidence that offensive mis-
siles were being planted in
Cuba.
"Cuba is a very small part
of the cold war. Everything
that has been done and is be-
ing done in Cuba must fit in
with winning the cold war, "
Mr.. johnson said.
However we may deplore
any regime in any country, we
cannot do what the Russians
did in Hungary. We can't &c
in unless a country is directly
threatened. This is why the
free world supports U.S."
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Gerber
also argued about the record
of Mr.. Broyhill, for whom the
District chairman served as a
proxy at a joint meeting of
Arlington Citizens Associations.
BrOyhiII's Record
Mr.. johnson charged that
Mr.. Broyhill claims he has
furthered education, while vot-
ing against Federal aid to edu.
cation, helped clean up ,ue
Potomac while voting against
pollution control bills, helped
reduce parking problems in
Washington while depriving the
motor vehicle parking agency
of funds and helped preserve
open spaces along the Potomac
while voting against money for
park lands.
Angrily disputing all these
assertions Mr.. Gerber said a
fact sheet" is being mailed to
voters to counter what he de-
nounced as ''smears" against
Mr.. Broyhill.
