88th Congress, particularly
in the House, will effectively
place a check on the ex-
pected New Frontiers big

Minority Leader Charles Hal

whether a Kennedy "blitz"
was to take place when the
new Congress opens the first
week in January. He be-

coalition which turned back
some of the Presidents most
desired items Of legislation

have lost four - the House

Familiar faces, he said, will be

The dreaded blood malady
leukemia appears to be in
creasing rapidly in this
country. In about 20 years
the death rate has increased
four-fold.
This has been announced
by the National Cancer IN
stitute Of the United States
Public Health Service. The
disease, characterized by
enormous increase in white
blood cells, is considered a
form Of cancer. The basic
cause remains unknown.
Radiation, says the Insti-
tute report, is one thoroughly
established cause. A few
cases have been attributed
to chemicals. An unusual in
cidence has been found
among survivors Of the atomic
bomb explosions in Japan,
among Pathological workers
including physicians, and
among persons who have re-
ceived radiotherapy. includ-
ing X-ray treatment, for
other conditions. Still the
relation between radiation
and the disease remains quite
uncertain. There appears TO
be no minimum dose that
can be considered entirely
safe.
CLUSTERS" Of Cases
There may be some in
fluence OF heredity. There
are records Of more than $50
families In which at least
two members had the dis
ease. In some families there
have been four or five cases.
Perhaps, says the report, only

Another possibility is that
entire families are exposed
to the same leukemogenic
agent.
Studies now are underway
by Institute workers OF

especially among children.

ton centers. These lately
have been reported from

Louds Justice Brennan

AS reported in The Star,
at the 42d annual meeting
of the National Council for
the Social Studies, Supreme
Court Justice william ].
Brennan, jr., spoke out on
1.-THE need for vigilance to
prevent Government from
whiting away the rights of
the individual" His point
was well made, for as he
said, today, as rarely before,
case after case comes to our
court which finds the indi-
vidual battling to vindicate a
claim under the Bill of
Rights against the powers of
government, Federal and
State" -s .4
I agree with him that "as
Government acts more deeply
upon those areas of our lives
once marked private there
is an even greater need to
see that individual rights are
not curtailed or cheapened in
the interest of what may
temporarily appear to be the
public good"
Justice Brennan suggests
that "the failure of so many
Of our citizens to understand
why their civil liberties are
worth working and fighting
for" is a root cause Of po-
litical responsibility. This
I find to be quite true. Pol
iticians are tempted to yield
to pressure groups which for
sake individual liberty to gain
some advantage unless an in
telligent citizenry, aware of
its civil liberties. demands
protection of these rights by
its elected officials. ....4.

gathered in the Gaithersburg

afternoon to hear stirring adj

to Our Problem of Survival"
presented as the major feature
of a three-day convention of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
The speaker was ]. w. Fill
son, a district overseer of the
Witness organization, who as
serted that civilization is pre-
scented today with a danger even
greater than the problem of
survival that accompanies the
threat of nuclear war.
God has purposed e univer.
sal war for destroying wicked
men and angels" Mr.. Filson
said, in explaining how eight
persons solved the problem of
survival during the flood Of
Noah's day. There will be a
great multitude who will sur
vive Armageddon also, if they
will study carefully in the
Bible, exercise faith in their
hearts, dedicate their lives to
Jehovah and serve Him faith
fully"
The theme, Spread the Word
of Life" was developed during
the three-day convention, and
special attention was given to
encourage more activity in call
ing back on those persons who
have displayed some interest in
the Bible.
Thirty-five persons were bap-
tized at the assembly Saturday
afternoon, showing their dedica-
ton to follow Gods will. Bap-
tism is the ministerial ordina-
ton ceremony of Jehovah's Wit
nesses, it was pointed out.
