Although the findings have
been one of the best-kept gov
ernment secrets outside of mili
tary security, the committee is
expected to indict smoking, es
lapecially heavy cigarette smok
ing, as a contributory cause of
variety of ills—including
lung cancer, heart disease and
some respiratory maladies.
But there already is evidence
that even after the report is
'made public, the long-standing,
controversy concerning alleged
links between smoking and
health will continue.
The report will be made pub
lic at noon today after a 2 1 / 2 -
hour locked-door study of the
171,000-w or d document by
newsmen and a news confer
ence on it.
When U.S. Surgeon General
Luther L. Terry called for the
study—upon White House or
ders—he said he expected the
~•-• Id be ''the • , st
report wou. oe —ie most com
prehensive ever to be produced
on the subject of smoking and
health."
The 10-month advisory com
mission was instructed to study
also all available evidence on
"other factors in the environ
ment that may affect health,"
including air pollution, indus
trial exposures, radiation, and
even alcohol.
If the report condemns smok
ing—or even if it is equivocal
on that score—the findings
could have at least initial im
pact on the tobacco industry.
This annually produces 2.3 bil
lion pounds of tobacco and in
volves some 750,000 farm fami
lies who produce tobacco.
Tobacco Road
Americans spend an esti
mated $7.5 billion annually for
tobacco products—and federal
and state governments pick up
$3.2 billion in tobacco taxes.
The blue-ribbon committee—
selected for its lack of bias on
the controversial subject—in
cludes three cigarette smokers,
two cigar smokers and five
non-smokers.
The group is expected by
many to come up with an in
dictment of smoking at least
approaching in vigor those
voiced over the years by some
health groups and researchers
and even by the U.S. Public
Health Service.
The report will contain no
recommendations for govern
ment action. A second study,
possibly by another committee,
is slated to be made later to
make recommendations.

ERIE, Pa. (.4')—A storm
'drivenr by gusting winds
roared in off Lake Erie yes

western Pennsylvania with
snow and causing hazardous
driving conditions.
One man was killed and an
other was injured seriously in a
chain-reaction collision on the

Schools in Erie were closed at

county also shut down.
Severe Drifting
The State Highways Depart

gusts up to 50 miles per hour,
caused severe drifting and mini

However, Sen. Hubert H.

belief the outburst was a spon

Scenic Fort Lauderdale be
came the initial and unofficial
host in the late fifties and held
the banner exclusively until
just a few years ago.
Unruly students with a lot
of academic tension to let loose
made the colorful city a fre
quent riot scene. They were
also charged by local residents
and officials with excessive
drinking.
Many students were jailed in
the city as a result in the early
years of the Florida Fad.
Venice of America
The city of Fort Lauderdale,
often_ dubbed "The Venice of
America" for its tropical water
ways through the center of
town, began receiving each
spring's collegians with less
and less enthusiasm.
Despite pleas of local mer
chants and tavern owners, irate
residents and officials became
disenchanted with the students,
who had literally taken over
the town in the spring of the
year with their twisting, drink
ing, singing, rioting and beach
partying.
Possibly sensing such local
unrest, collegians began stop-,
ping several hundred miles
north of Lauderdale during
their annual spring jaunts at,!
the world famous beach resort'
city of Daytona Beach.
50,000 Visitors
Last spring Daytona bulged
with over 50,000 undergraduate
visitors while Lauderdale guar
' tered a thinner and much
quieter crowd.
In the face of the dwindling
'spring crowds in Fort Lauder
dale, local citizens and officials
have begun to feel the role the
collegians played in the suc
cess of one of the city's major
industries, tourism. What has
developed is a rivalry between
the two beach resorts.
Currently on top in the con
test, Daytona Beach is ready
ing its facilities in expectation
of a surging 60,000 students in
late March.
Still Fighting
Fort Lauderdale, somewhat
less optimistic but apparently
still in the fight, is also pre
paring for record crowds.
The rivalry has spread and
now each town is attempting
to outdo the other by offering:
free top name entertainers,
folk singers, barbeques and
midnight twist parties.
Ferguson To

The Penn State Jazz Club and
