Explains u. N. Bonds

Many persons do not real
ize that the U. N. bond issue
will put the U. N. on a sound
financial footing by making
all nations pay their share.
The U. N. General Assem-
bly, has authorized issuance
of 5000 million worth of
U. N. bonds, carrying 2
per cent interest and payable
over a 25-year period. Re-
payments will be an annual
charge (of about $40 million)
on the regular U. N. budget,
which is an obligatory assess
ment on all U. N. members.
Nations which fail to pay
their assessment to the regu-
lar U. N. budget within two
years stand to lose their vote
in the General Assembly, ac-
cording to Article 19 of the
U. N. Charter.
President Kennedy has rec
commended that the United
States buy up to so per cent
or 500 million worth of these
bonds. (There is indication
that other nations will take
up the remainder of the
issue. The bond issue is not
without precedent. In 1948
the United States loaned $65
million, or 100 per cent, of
the cost required to build and
establish U. N. headquarters
in New York. Repayments are
being made to the United
States each year from the
regular budget of the U. N.
Obviously that loan did not
mean the United States paid
100 per cent of the costs of
U. N. headquarters. By the
same token, the $100 million
loan will not mean the United
States is paying so per cent
of the U. N. deficit. 1t will
be loaning the U. N. $100 mil
lion to pay it's financial obli-
cations. The United States
like other bondholding coun-
tries will receive repayment
annually with all U. N. coun-
tries contributing their pro-
portionate share toward prin-
cipal and interest.
Because certain nations
have refused to contribute
to the U. N. Emergency Force
in the Egyptian-Israel border
or the U. N. operations in
the Congo, the U. N. is in
its present financial state,
and the United States has
been paying 4712 per cent of
the peace-keeping costs. BY
financing these costs through
the bond issue, they would be-
come a part of the regular
U. N. budget. This would OBJ
ligate all other member ma
tions to contribute propor-
tionately, under penalty of
losing General Assembly priv
ileges.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Cancer Research Progress Report ~
By THOMAS K. HENRY

It long has been a popular
belief that cancer runs in
families"
AS yet, however, there is
little objective scientific evi-
dence of this. Studies now are
under way at the Sloan-Ket-
tering Institute for Cancer
Research on twins and Sib-
lingS in an effort to dissociate
genetic influences on devel-
opment of malignancy and
variables in the environment
that influence disease proc
esses. There is some evidence
that various types of cancer
are more frequent anon g
persons with certain body
builds, which are largely he
reditary. Data on 10000
women have been collected
and recorded. Analysis of the
information will begin in
three to five years as can
GERS in the group begin to
emerge.
Vast Scope of Probe
Improved methods for early
detection of cancer are being
vigorously sought, owing to
the increasing frequency of
the disease and the difficulty
of diagnosing it in its early
stages. Specimens of sputum
from the tracheobronchial
are being collected from a
group of more than 500 men,
including both smokers and
non-smokers. These examina-
tions will be continued annu-
ally for a 10-year period. The
purpose is to identify and
interpret the significance of
cell changes in men of lung
cancer age and from lung
cancer patients. 1t may be
possible to detect the earliest
changes.
A 10-year study of cancer
of the cervix has resulted in
development of a smear ex-
animation technique which
makes its presence shown far
in advance of the time it can
be detected by any other
means. The survey shows
that the earliest LESSONS are
extremely fragile and some
times can be destroyed just
by swabbing.
Blood samples from the fe-
male genital tract have been
taken in over 1000 women to
determine any changes which
may occur with the earliest
advent of cancer. An "elec-
tonic doctor" has been de-
signed to classify blood SAM
Piles and Smears.
Studies also IRE going for
ward on possible factors in
the environment which may
induce cancer. Gastric can
Ger is a good example, it is
quite uncommon in this coun-
try. The incidence is very
high in Japa.:-. Iceland and
Yugoslavia.

Jet-Aqe Problem

A spokesman for the American rail-
roads, concerned about his industry's
problems, recently recalled an obser-
vation by Rudyard Kipling to the effect
that when nation is lost, an under
lying cause of the collapse is always
that she cannot handle her transport"
# this is an oversimplification, it is
still not an erroneous one. Our own
Nation is not "lost," but it has become
clear that one of the most demanding
and complex domestic problems Of to-
day is how to handle" our overall
transport system and the needs which
it must meet.
These are, of course, public needs
and for that basic reason all Segments
of our commercial transport are sub
ject to varying degrees of governmental
regulation We have not come, however,
to a point Of Government ownership
or operation, and indeed if there is
a fundamental national policy position
it is that transport should be a func-
tion of private enterprise-capable of
supporting itself economically while
meeting the tests of public convenience
and necessity" It is the question of
this capability of self-support within
the boundaries of proper regulation
that has become intenSified-over a
relatively long period for the railroads
and more suddenly, within only the
past two or three years, for airlines.
There have been many and varied
reasons why this has come about, but
there has been no blanket indictment
OF the private management principle.
In this circumstance, it is note
worthy that leading managementS in
both the rail and air industries are
turning to the same recourse of self
help. This is, in short, the consolida-
tion or merger of existing systems, not
as step toward literally unattain-
able monopoliStic control, but as
means of eliminating wasteful duplica-
tion of facilities, services, corporate
structures and other costly items of
overhead. More than dozen railroad
merger proposals are now pending, the
latest and biggest involving the New
York Central and Pennsylvania systems
Among the airlines, United and Capital
were merged approximately year ago.
There has been discussion of combin-
ationS of National and Continental
and of Trans World and Northeast, and
the biggest has unfolded in a directors
agreement on merger of American and
Eastern.
In all cases there is, of course,
ample provision for official study and
the protection of all affected interests
competitors, shareholders, labor and the
public-before merger permiSSions are
granted or denied by the Federal Gov
ernment. 1t is most important, how
ever, that these reviews should be
conducted against the background of
today's economic conditions and with
full regard for the vast and costly
changes that have occurred in the op-

THE POLITICAL MILL
G. 0. P. Searching for Candidates
By GOULD LINCOLN

The death of Senator An
drew F. Schoeppel Of Kan
sas, piled on top of the recent
death of Senator Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire,
removes two veteran, con-
servative Republican Sena-
tors from the present Con-
gress. Further. these deaths
make it necessary to elect
two Senators each in two
States next November. In
Kansas, Senator Frank Carl
son, Republican, is up for re-
election. and in New Hamp-
shire, Senator Norris Cotton,
also a Republican, must stand
for reelection. And the num-
ber of Senators to be chosen
this year has reached un-
usual proportions-a total of
38, more than a third of the
total 100 membership of the
chamber. This has been
brought about by deaths and
designations. Two Senators
headed the Democratic ma
tional ticket in 1860. Mr..
Kennedy, of Massachusetts,,
resigned to become President
and Mr.. johnson, of Texas,
to become Vice President.
The Texas seat has been
filled by the election of John
G. Tower, a Republican. Pres
ident Kennedy's successor,
Senator Benjamin A. Smith.
jr., is serving under appoint
ment until an election is
held in November. There is
a terrific scramble on for the
Democratic nomination in the
Presidents home State.
The death of Sen a t o r
Schoeppel has raised the
number of Republican Senate
seats on the political auction
block to IT. Twenty-one
Democratic seats will be
fought for. Seven of the
Democrats up for election.
however, are from the old
"Solid South" where a Dem
ocratic nomination is tanta-
mount to an election.
Kansas Governors Choice
The Kansas situation has
not cleared as yet. But it is
certain that Gov. John An
derson, jr., a Republican, will
appoint another Republican
to fill the vacancy. He could
resign and have himself ap-
pointed. But it seems prob
able that he will select some
one like former Senator
Harry Darby or former Repre-
sentative Clifford Hope-both
very popular men-to serve
the rest of the present ses-
sion of Congress. but who
will not wish to run for the
whole Schoeppel term. Gov
Anderson, it is believed, would
like much to come to Wash
ington as Senator. In that
case, he can run for the Re-
publican senatorial nomina-
tion instead of seeking a sec
ond term as Governor. He
displaced a Democrat when
he was elected in 1860 and
has proved a good executive
The one fly in that ointment
lies in the fact that Senator
Schoeppel was from Wichita
and that section of the State
may wish to send another
to the Senate. Sen. Carlson
the present senior Senator, is
from Concordia. Wichita may

End of the Line

I regret that your excellent
article of January 81 on the
demise of the streetcars did
not go further into the sub
ject.
I am only 46, but remem-
ber trolleys which many peo-
pie never heard of-trolleys
which by some adverse situa-
ton of fate, may be re-
created by the new Metro
politan Transit Authority.
The ones to which I refer
are: The Mount Vernon Rail-
road, which had its origin
where the ICC building is
now; the Arlington and Fair
fax Railroad, from Rosslyn;
the Washington and Old Do
minion Railroad, which went
all the way up to Bluemont,
on the Blue Ridge, which I
have ridden; the Cabin John
line, which was briefly men,
toned; the Wisconsin avenue
line, also briefly mentioned,
which went all the way out to
Rockville; the Connecticut
avenue line which went out to
Kensington and Garrett
Park; the Georgia avenue line
which went out to Forest
Glen; the Takoma Park line,
which went out to the Wash
ington Sanitarium; the Rhode
Island avenue line, which at
one time went all the way to
Laurel; the old WB&A, which
crept from 18th and New
York avenue to Baltimore and
Annapolis; and I will even in
clude the Old Chesapeake
Beach Railroad, which was
steam, but I remember a few
trips on it en- route to the
Boy Scout Camp Roosevelt.
I particularly liked the
WBSCA which crept until it
reached the junction in Ken
ilworth, then they threw the
switch and took off!
I would surely enjoy, and
save, a feature on the old
trolleys and railroads which
served Washington.

Health Sweepstakes

Thoughtful students Of med
ical economics will approve
The Stars objective January
20 editorial on our Ameri-
can Medical Associations be-
lated entry into the political
sweepstakes for aged-medi-
care. Having been dragged
from the bar of the clubroom,
into the thermonuclear age
by the unrelenting sobering
influence of DR.. Donald
Stubbs, our ANA has risen
above it's hiccoughs and
placed its lou. across the
board, on a tandem entry
of Blue Cross and Blue
Shield. Though a little late
leaving thet post, the ANA
entry with smart jockeying,
has a chance to place, if not
to win.
Chief political Handicapped,
HEW Secretary Abraham A.
Ribicoff wants to scratch the
ANA entry. The Blue Shield
plan for the aged, says he,
is inadequate. He wants it to
be a one-horse race, with his
Reuther-sponsored nag, run
ming against the political
clock, instead of a hoped
up maverick, he claims can't
pass the saliva test.
Both Mr.. Ribicoff and our
ANA had better remember
the field judges in this race
will be all the people. They
have a grim suspicion that
both entries are owned and
jockeyed by self-serving ma
nipulators. We need a third
entry, one that will pay off
in health security burden
sharing for all. We ask ANA
why is it not willing to ap-
prove any catastrophe need
irrespective of age with real
istic income limits. Surely
ANA must know the health
security needs of catastrophe
illness will become an insol-
vent equation without ma
tionally uniform premiums,
service coverage and serv-
ice fees. If every State, ev-
cry medical society is allowed
to write its own check, de-
fine its own coverage, and
initiate it's own demands, the
ANA plan will end up as
bankrupt as the British. And
how can Ribicoff's nag reach
the New Frontier with Walter
Reuther jockeying? What
business has Walter Reuther
acting as the exclusive COL
lective bargaining agent for
the organized doctor-workers
of our ANA?

Influence of filter cigarettes
is being studied in a survey
of lung cancer. An inveStiga-
ton is being completed in
Venice to determine the in
cidence of lung cancer in re-
lation to smoking in a popu-
lation relatively free of auto
mobile fumes and air pollu-
tants from industry.
An examination of basic
differences between Ameri-
can and Japanese living con-
ditions, begun in 1859, is near
completion. 1t was an effort
to determine environmental
patterns that may contribute
to different disease patterns
in the two countries. The
major differences observed
are in the rates of arterio-
scleroSis, and cancers of the
lung, prostate. breast, colon
and blood. All these are much
more common in the United
States. On the other hand,
cancers of stomach and liver
and deaths from strokes are
more prevalent in Japan.
Death rates for the various
diseases among the Japanese
of Hawaii and California fall
roughly begween the overall
rates for the United States
and Japan.
Many Substances Analysed
Various tobacco smoke con-
densates, automobile exhaust
samples and particles from
polluted atmospheres are be-
ing analyzed for cancer-pro-
ducing substances. If they can
be found it might be possible
to remove them, at least from
tobacco.

son of James Pearson for ap-
pointment to fill the Senate
vacancy. OF Kansas delega-
tion in the House of Repre-
sentatives, only one Of the
six is a Democrat-J. Floyd
Breeding. He may be the
Democrats choice to run for
the Schoeppel Senate seat.
Pennsylvania Situation
The Republicans face the
need to select many new
candidates for congressional
seats in both houses this
year. They still are having
a search for a candidate to
run against Democratic Sem
ator Clark. Indeed, the whole
Pennsylvania situation, so far
as the G.. o. P. is concerned,
is badly scrambled at the
present juncture. Represent
ative James E. Van Zandt and
Walter E. Alesandroni, former
United States attorney for
the east district of Pennsyl-
vania, have announced them
selves for the gubernatorial
nomination, and at the same
time Judge Robert A. Wood
side of the Superior Court is
being pushed for the nomi-
nation by State Chairman
George Bloom and others.
Judge Woodside is highly re-
spected, but as a campaign
er he is no ball of fire.
Until this gubernatorial
nomination is settled. the
choice of a senatorial candi-
date may remain in allegiance.
In the meantime the Demo-
Gratis appear to have their
ticket-Senator Clark to sue
ceed himself and Mayor Rich
ardson Dilworth of Philadel-
phia for Governor. Gov.
Lawrence, Democrat, is in-
eligible under the State law
to succeed himself. Mr.. Dill
worth has announced he will
resign as Mayor in the very
near future. He has to do so
to make the race for Cover
nor. Philadelphia gave Presi-
dent Kennedy a huge lead
over Mr.. Nixon-more than
100000 votes, in the 1860
election. Much of the credit
is claimed for Representative
William j. Green, jr., Demo-
cratic chairman, and Mr..
Green and Mr.. Dilworth have
been at odds many times. De-
spite this, the preponderance
of opinion is that Mr.. Dill
worth will receive the guber-
material nomination If he
goes after it, as he seems to
be doing. =
In New Hampshire, there is
a plethora of candidates on
the Republican side to ran
for the Bridges seat. Mrs.
Bridges, the Senator's widow,
