N.Y.
Reseachers Find Definite Link
Cigarette Smoking, Cancer
Between
Cancer research specia
lists at a Buffalo, N. Y., hos
pital have flatly stated that
cigarette smoking can lead
to cancer.
Dr. George E. Moore, di-:
rector of the Roswell Park
Memorial Institute, New York
state's cancer - research - treat
ment center, and Dr. Morton L.
Levin, chairman of a cancer
study committee, issued the
joint statement yesterday.
The two doctors, in their state
ment, called for immediate gov
ernment action in developing a
nation-wide educational program
in the public schools and for the'
general public regarding th e
health hazards which can result
from smoking.
Unequivical Damnation
Dr. Moore said: "From the
years of research conducted at
Roswell Park Memorial Institute,
there' is no question at all but
that cigarette smoking is the
major causative link in the de
velopment of lung cancer.
"The evidence also points out
that cigarette smoking is direct
ly implicated in other diseases
as well, such as diseases of the
heart and blood vessels and other;
lung ailments," Dr. Moor el
added.
"The existence of important
health hazards from smoking,
again pointed out by the Surgeon
General's Advisory committee in
its report, indicates the immedi
ate need for national and local
programs to minimize these
hazards," Dr. Moore said.
All Agree
According to the joint state
ment, many previous reviews

For Collision
WASHINGTON (W)—The Civil Aeronautics Board
yesterday blamed lack of vigilance on the part of the
fliers for the head-on collision between two light air
planes in which three persons were killed near Allen
town, Pa., last July 30.
The collision was between an Army Beechcraft U-8F
with two men aboard, on an:

Dec. 9 for establishment of an

tered as a hat society on com

Research Complete
Donovan said the Keystone
application should not take as
long to decide as the Prome
theus issue because much need
ed research has already been
completed. The issue is not as
"involved" as the Prometheus
question, he said.
The committee is currently
considering charter applica
tions from four proposed stu
dent organizations and is
studying revised constitutions
from three existing groups.
Other Groups
The new student organiza
tions are a Chinese Club, Mus
lim Club. Art Form and Ice
Hockey Club. Revised consti
tutions have been submitted
by Spectrum, the Town Inde
pendent Men's Council, and the
Divison of Counseling Student
Council.
Applications are also expect
ed to be submitted by the Na
tional Association for th e

(SURE).
The committee will consider
the aplications in the order
they are received, Donovan
said.

1 Week Pro
Given PhiEp
For Rushing
Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity has
received a one-week rush re- 1
striction for violating the Inter- ,
fraternity Council rush code.
The penalty was imposed byi
the ITC Board of Control at a
meeting last night. The viola
tion for which the fraternity
was penalized occurred
Wednesday night, at the start
of the rush period.
The infraction for which the
penalty was levied allegedly
consisted of the fraternity's
having its members in Univer
sity residence halls after 8 p.m.
Edward Craig, Board of Con
trol chairman, confirmed that
the penalty was levied but
stated that the reason for the
lone-week docking of rush giv
en The Daily Collegian was
"incomplete."
Craig also refused to confirm
the accuracy of the reason.
An IFC spokesman said the
Board acted swiftly so that the
fraternity would not be un
duly penalized for a minor in
fraction.

HARRISBURG (IP)—The
State Justice Department
has ruled there are no
grounds for any kind of an
appeal against dismissal un
der terms of the state's new
civil service law.
The Civil Service Commission

way, that never existed, as the
secretary and his associates
well know."
In the 1960 campaign Demo
crats charged that the Soviets
had been permitted to forge
ahead of the United States and
open up a gap in the race to
develop long-range missiles.
Goldwater called for hear
ings by the Senate prepared
ness subcommittee, of which
he is a member. The subcom
mittee is headed by Sen. John
Stennis. D-Miss.
Not for Hiding
"The matters we are talking
about are too important to be
hidden behind name-calling,"
the Arizonan said.
"That is why I am asking
for a full-scale probe of the
situation. And that is why I
shall not retract or qualify my
statement or my intention
to work for a meaningful
strengthening of our nation's
defenses."
A Cloudless Day
A major general in the Air
Force reserve, Goldwater said
that "when I speak of a de
pendability gap, I do not refer
to situations in which crews of
thousands, waiting for a cloud
less day, are able to launch or
bital vehicles with fine preci
sion."
He said he was questioning
the dependability of missile
systems that might have to be
launched "in the middle of the
night, during a storm, and up
on an instauL s notice.
McNamara said "There is no
information, classified or other
wise. to support the false im
plication that our long range
missiles cannot be depended
upon to accomplish their mis
sion."
Dilworth
In State;
PHILADELPHIA VP)
,Richardson Dilworth, form
er mayor here, has charged
that Pennsylvania's public
education system is lousy—
"not much better than that
of Alabama or Louisiana."
The former Penn State trus
tee also told the Philadelphia
'Chamber of Commerce that in
dustry in the state has gone
downhill every year since
World War 11. Dilworth, who
was defeated for the governor
ship by William W. Scranton
after resigning as mayor of
Philadelphia, made his re
marks after listening to three
optimistic reports given at the
chamber's 17th annual fore
casting conference.
About education, he said:
"By and large we have a
lousy education system in this
state. Of course the rich coun
ties have some fine education,
but on a whole, our state edu
'rational system is not much
,better than that of Alabama or
Mississippi.
Falling Behind
"And in higher education, we
are falling behind. In other
states, higher education is pro
vided for at least 50 per cent
of the children within that
'state.
"But what do we have? We
have a situation where trained
teachers go out and furnish the
brains for the other states, and
they will continue to be driven
out of the state. We have done
nothing to bring a higher edu
cation system into this state,
and we will do nothing," he
charged.
Dilworth said he recently ;
went on a nine-square -block
tour of an area comprised of
mostly low-income Negroes. It
took a whole day, he said.
Nobody Sober
Then he added:
"When we wanted to ques- :
tion them, we couldn't find a:
sober man or woman to talk to.
They just have no hope. That's
the kind of rot that is going to
spread if we don't get employ
ment and education for those
people.
"We cannot support 20 per
cent of the Negroes in the
North on relief and hope to
'survive. And the time has :
come for the Negro people to
stop feeling so damned sorry
for himself.
"Some of their leaders are
'demagogues ... but they've got
to learn to help themselves, and
not take an attitude that just
because they are a minority,
they can get nowhere here,"l
Dilworth said.
Need Spirit
"That's just not true," he I
added. "Look at the Irish and
Italians of years past. One of
them even went on to become
President of the United States.
They've (the Negroes) got to
get some of the same kind of
spirit that these people had.
"They get the feeling they
can't win, and they can't. There
are six whites to every black.
I They just can't win unless
something is done on a basis of
courage and human Mien:-
gence."
The Challenge
About the problems of indus
try, Dilworth said that "we
are refusing to face up to the
challenge in the southwestern
Pennsylvania area."
He then asked:
"Is there any hope for south
western Pennsylvania, except
for the work that the Mellons
and others are doing? The ans
wer is `No'." he shouted•.
"It (southwestern Pennsyl
vania) is in bad shape and will
continue to be in bad shape un
less we reconstitute our ideas
in that part of the state."
, He did not elaborate on his
statements.
Blasts Education
Terms It 'Lousy'
RICHARDSON DILWORTH, seen here as he appeared at
Penn State during the last gubernatorial campaign, leveled
an attack on the Scranton administration yesterday, charg
ing that the state's education and industry are suffering
an unprecedented blight.
