Medic Team Reports
 Smoking Might Help Induce Heart Attacks
By ALTON BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science w

CLEVELAND tR Smoking ap- parently jaZzes up our stress glands, and that might help induce heart attacks, a medical team has reported.
 Statistical studies find far more heart attacks among cigarette smokers than nonsmokers. But d key question Is exactly how the the smokers heart could be harm ed.
 Evidence that bad effect could come through the adrenal or stress glands was described at the opening of the American Heart Associations 35th scientific ses- sions by Dr. Alfred Kershbaum and associates of Philadelphia General Hospital
 They theorized that nicotine from cigarettes prevokes an in creased release of adrenalin and nor-adrenalin from the adrenal slaads and nerve endlngs, and that these hormones in turn cause the release of fatty substances into the blood which might help clog up arteries and thus in time lead to heart attacks.
 Under everyday physical or stress, the adrenal glands release these same hor- mones 10 prepare the human body to fight or run away from a sit uatlon.
 Checking into the theory, the researchers h dZ11 volunteers smoke nine cigarettes during three hours where they were sitting still and not eating. For another three hours, the same II persons did not smoke. Their levels of the stress hormones, measured in the bloodstream and in urine, were higher while they were smoking There also was an increase in the amount of free fatty acids in their blood, Dr. Kershbaum said.
 Next, the release of hormones was prevented by giving them nerve-blocking drugs. When the volunteers smoked two cigarettes in rapid succession, there was no significant rise in the fats in the blood, he added
 Smoking two cigarettes in 10 minutes did not bring any increase in blood fats in persons whose ad- renal glands had already been re- moved as a means of combating high blood pressure, he said.

It's Vacation
Time Again

This afternoon Coop Pub. is
closing its doors for the annual
two-week summer vacation.
The vacation issues this year are
edited by faculty members of Mon
tana State University and Mon
tana State College.
We are certain, with public in
terest in higher education much
greater this year than in past years
due to the unfriendly attitude ex-
hibited toward the University sys-
tenn by the 1861 Legislature, that
you will find the August 3 and 10
issues most timely.
Features included in the vaca-
ton issues deal with faculty turn

mands of some extremist groups
for conformity" and for censor

"The drastic slash in rail en-
ployment," Clark continued, zap
plies not alone to firemen. Under
provisions of the PRO report, the
employment Of brakemen-flag-

elimination of at least 10000 flag

by switchmen, would be assigned to
the remaining railroad brakemen

where fulltime switchmen would
have to be retained. Under pay
provisions of the report this switch
ing would be done at 40 cents an
hour lower wages than those cur
rently paid switchmen."
Elucidating on the latter, Clark
said that provisions of the PRO re-
port for switch crews call for a 10

The fiscal 1868 figures, for i'm
Ilpacted area assistance compare with
Ipayments of $906,10O for school con-
struction and $1,690,00O for mainte-
nance and operation in fiscal 1862.
The 1862 figures represent go per
cent of what the laws authorize. AS
the Senate bill now stands 1868 pay
ments would be at 100 per cent of
next years entitlements.
Federally impacted school districts
are those in which operations of the
federal government have resulted in
substantial increases in school popu-
lation.
The Senate accepted an amendment
offered by Mansfield to the Labor
HEW appropriations bill asking $75
million to implement the Manpower
Development and Training Act passed
by Congress and signed into law
earlier this year by President Ken
needy.
The Senate-passed appropriations
bill differs from the measure ap-
proved by the House, and the bill
now will go to joint conference COM
mittee to resolve differences.

Included in the Senate bill is $751;
189 in federal funds to assist the
vocational rehabilitation program in
Montana. All but $4,000 depends
upon the state appropriating match

Mansfield and Metcalf said the
HEW bill cleared by the Senate
includes $1.4 million for operation
of the Rocky Mountain Laboratory
at Hamilton. The two Montana SEN
ators testified on behalf of the ap-
preparation for the Hamilton lab

Earl Hartley, Portland, of the

the insistence of rank-and-file mem
bers that struck Montana employers
accept the industry wide pattern on

In this connection, Hartley re-
ported that with few exceptions. en-

agreed to participation in jointly
pension programs as called
for in the 1861 bargaining program
of the Western Council. $4,000 of the |

TWO RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The convention adopted two reso-
Iutions.
One of these reaffirmed the organi-

sales tax because that "tax puts an
additional burden on the people of |
the state who are least able to pay"
with it hitting hardest ''the working |
men with families, widows, disabled |

incomes" who would bear the brunt
of this vicious tax ;"
The other resolution called atten-
bion to the large grants of land made |
TO the railroads "many years ago

40 PER CENT REDUCTION
I'm CREWS
'Under the commissions Grew
Consist Provisions outlined above"
Clark continued, ''the standard train
crew of five men would be in most
instances reduced to three, or a 40
per cent reduction in rail operating
jobs. In some rarer instances, crews
would be cut from five to two, or
so per cent reduction.
''The above, however. is only the
job reduction as the PRO report ap-
plies to train operating crews. The
report" the BLF&E leader pointed
out, ''also gives the railroads the un-
restricted right to change crew termi-
mails and lengthen out division points.
This would automatically tend to re-
,duce the remaining operating crews
by so per cent or more, depending
on the length OF the division.
when a division is heightened
out terminal is abolished and all
the incorporating employees at
that terminal lose their jobs. Some
of our largest railroad centers in
the state have now been reduced to
a very small percentage of their
former employees, and, if the divi-
sions are heightened even these re-
naming employees will lose their
jobs. A number of rail centers in
Montana would be well on their
way to becoming ghost towns, with
taxes too high to live with and at
a time when Mainstreet Montana is
desperately praying for a better
business climate"

$4,000, said the goal of the PRO
and the railroads is to reduce rail
jobs by at least another 100000 by or
before 1868.
This reduction would be accom-
plished in number of ways as the
rail arrangements strive to automat
the railroads as completely as pos
sible.
FIREMEN, A CASE IN POINT
AS a particular case in point of
job losses that loom under recon-
mendations of the presidential COM
mission, which was set up under the
Eisenhower Administration, Clark
called attention to recent news stories
that $4,000 of 100000 freight and
yard firemen would lose their jobs
under proposals by the commission.
'This statement is most misleading"
he said. cit is true that 1900 would
lose their jobs and all seniority rights,
but for the $4,000 remaining, al
though they would continue to have
seniority, their jobs would no longer
be available. In word, the PRO re-
port advocates the wiping out of

REVERSING Custom

The Virginia General Assembly is
thoroughly familiar with annexation
issues of the usual sort, involving efforts
Of cities to expand into adjacent coun-
ties. It is now confronted with an an
nexation problem in reverse, however
one in which Fairfax County is seeking
legislative authority to annex" or
merge with, the town of Clifton. This
is an understandable move as part of
the county's planned defense against
further standardization" by towns or
cities. Alternative legislation to permit
the county to incorporate through adop-
tion of city charter also has been
introduced.
Residents of the little town of
Clifton already have indicated their
willingness to merge with the county
into one large municipality. BY thus
becoming city, the county would be
immune to annexation suits by Falls
Church, Alexandria or other cities in
side or just outside its borders. Alex
andria previously had bitten off a chunk
of the county, and recently deferred
plans for annexing another slice.
A hitch in the Clifton merger pro-
posal developed when the Circuit Court
ruled that present law, while permit
ting consolidation of ounties with ad-
jacent cities, does not cover merger of
county with town within it's bor-
ders. Fairfax County Delegate Webb
therefore is sponsoring bill which
would give the county such standby"
authority as one of several recourses.
The proposal is backed by the Board
of Supervisors and other officials who
have become concerned over threats
of new annexaU >roceedings. If ap-
proved by this Assembly, the authority,
even If not Immediately exercised,
would give Fairfax County something
to fall back on in event of further
attempts at territorial encroachment.

Sixth-Grode Literocy

Senator Russell, Democrat of Geor-
gia says the administrations literacy
voting test bill is politically inspired"
counter to Republican moves in the
same direction. This may seem to be
a cynical view, but there is ample rea-
son to believe that it is correct.
The more important question, how
ever, has to do, not with politicking,
but with merit. Is this a good or a bad
bill?
AS explained by Majority Leader
Mansfield who introduced the bill as
an administration measure, it provides
Tin elections to Federal office) that
completion of six grades in an accred-
tied school shall be sufficient proof of
literacy for voting purposes. The Mon
tana Senator then went on to say:
I do not think the requirement of liter
acy for voter qualification should be aban-
doned altogether. 1t is vitally important that
those who select the men and women re-
Sponsible for the operation of the Govern
ment be able to understand the questions
on which they make their decisions
This comment, with which we agree,
is in mortal conflict with the provisions
Of the bill. How many sixth-graders
understand the momentous questions
the impact of the Common Market for
example-on which our Federal officials
must make decisions? One in 10000?
One in $4,000? If it is "vitally impor-
tant" that voters should have this un-
derStanding, what sense does it make
to set the literacy qualification at the
sixth-grade level?
1t is of course true that literacy
tests have been misused-primarily by
employing them as device to prevent
otherwise qualified Negroes from voting
in some Southern States. This is an
abuse which should not be tolerated,
and which can be corrected by specific
action directed to the particular in
iquitouS practice. The proper remedy
certainly does not lie, however, in open
ing the voting booths to anyone who
has managed to get through the sixth
grade, regardless of how much or, more
probably, how little understanding he
has of the complex and enormously
important questions with which his
elected representatives in Congress and
the White House must deal.

To End Monumental Chaos

The House resolution to create
National Capital Parks Memorial Board
to fix policies and guidelines for erect
ing more monuments on local park
land is designed to fill long-felt need.
AS Interior Secretary Udall has pointed
out, so many memorials have been
placed in the parks that space for ad-
ditional ones is at premium. Congress
in the past has approved numerous
memorials without giving much thought
to the space shortage or to any general
policy governing future projects It is
time for some system of control to be
exercised in this field.
We do not think that the solution
for statue congestion is to ship some
of the monuments out of Washington,
as Secretary Udall did in the case Of
the Bryan statue and as he proposed
for the memorial to Dr. Benjamin
Rush in the old Naval Hospital grounds.
The orderly approach is through a
board or commission, composed of sculp-
tors, artists and other authorities and
including representatives of the Park
Service, District Commissioners, Fine
Arts Commission and the National Cap
ital Planning Commission. The advice
OF a competent group of this kind
would be Of great help to Congress in
passing on new memorials-two dozen of
which are proposed in various bills

Genocide Pact

In his letter appealing for
United States support of the
Genocide Convention, Louis
E. Schecter of the American
Jewish Congress raises an
other voice from the ranks of
internationalists and those
who avidly support a sick
and Red-ridden U. N.
According to our great
Constitution, no man is at
liberty to maliciously and
seriously threaten the lives or
well-being of any innocent
person or group of persons.
This greatest of all Govern
mental documents has pro-
tected the innocent and con-
demned the guilty quite sue
cessfully for almost 200 years.
I, for one, am not in favor
Of giving up one iota of the
sovereignty of this Nation
and have any American cit
izen, guilty or innocent,
placed before an interna-
tional tribunal composed of
socialists. atheistic Commu-
nists, half-educated Con-
golese. neutralists, etc.
If this so-called Genocide
Convention were to be rati-
fled, what might the next
step be?
According to this proposed
set of laws" anyone who in
any way causes mental
harm" to any given group
can be removed and tried
in a foreign country-even in
the country he has criticized.

D. c. Payroll Tax

I note that the District
Commissioners are in favor
of a payroll tax for D. c.,
to be- levied against those
working in the D. C. and liv-
ing in Maryland and Vir-
ginia. 1t is being argued by
some that "it is urgently
necessary" to find IAN eff
cient device to make the sub
urban commuters pay their
share of the bill for city ia
cilities they use"
What facilities? The priv
ilege of riding crowded buses
in an effort to get to work,
and paying a fare which is
higher than in most cities?
The privilege of making your
way through snow drifts
when the transportation sy-
TENS fail and the traffic sit
uation stalls the police? Most
suburbanites work for the
Federal Government. How
ever, the Federal Government
does not belong to the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t belongs
to the United States as
whole and is supported by
the tax-paying citizens.
Freeways benefit those who
live within the D. c. as we'll
as those outside. The sub
urbanites pay local and State
taxes as well as Federal in
come taxes. 1t is through
those Federal income taxes
that they are privileged to
enjoy CD the right to work
in the D. C. They already
pay enough taxes as it is,
both visible and hidden. This
additional proposed tax is
double taxation and in my
opinion, unconstitutional.
This looks like a poor at
tempt to collect additional
revenue from the least resist
ant source, the Maryland and
