Mrs. Ford's test positive
WASHINGTON !UPI) —Betty Ford's doctors reported
yesterday they found slight traces of cancer cells in the First
Lady's lymph tissue, but said there was no clinical evidence
the disease had spread to other parts of her body.
The surgeons said they remain optimistic for Mrs. Ford's
"prolonged survival." They said "microscopic" traces of
cancer cells were detected in only two of the 30 lymph nodes
removed during Mrs. Ford's operation.
Specialists attending a National Cancer Institute Con
ference on breast cancer said statistics show that for women
viith one to three cancer-bearing "positive" lymph nodes
there is a five-year survival rate of 62 per cent and a 10-year
survival rate of 38 per cent.
Mrs. Ford underwent surgery to remove her cancerous
right breast Saturday at the Bethesda Navy Medical Center.
Muscles underlying the breast and lymph glands extending
back under her arm also were removed, and the lymph tissue
was examined by cancer institute pathologists.
Dr. William:Fouty, the hospital's chief surgeon who per
formed the operation, and Dr. William Lukash, the White
House physician, issued a medical bulletin late yesterday
based on final studies of the lymph tissue cemoyed during the
three-hour operation, called a "radical mastectomy."
"Examination of the tissue in the lymph-bearing ; area
remoNed at surgery showed microscopic involvement of
cancer in only two out of 30 nodes," the medical bulletin said.
'There was no involvement in local blood vessels."

gasoline)," Speaker Carl Albert said of the proposal.
At the White House, Press Secretary Ronald Nessen said
that even though Ford was opposed to such a gas tax he "has
an open mind on how to fight inflation" and it "is one of many
options that his advisers have."
The Ways and Means Committee, now considering a tax
revision bill, resoundingly defeated a similar proposal last
week which would have placed a large excise tax on
automobiles which got low gas mileage: Committee Chairman
Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., previously has expressed 4pposition to
gas tax increases.
Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., second-ranking member on the
committee, said yesterday a gas talc increase might stand a
chance if it was part of an overall t nergy proposal that was
"hard hitting and comprehensive and made sense," but "just
10 cents to raise revenue doesn't make sense."
Ford pledges inflation fight
WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford said yesterday
inflation has gone far beyond levels that the world can
tolerate, and pledged the United States to help solve the
problem through cooperation in trade, monetary policy and
other means.
Addressing the opening session of a meeting of the World
Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the President
said:
"We want solutions which serve broad interests rather than
narrow self-serving ones. We want more cooperation, not
more lisolation. We want trade, not protectionism. We want
price stability, not inflation. We want growth, not stagnation.
We want a better life for ourselves and our children."
Ford turned his attention to global economic problems just
two days after completion of the domestic summit meeting
aimed at seeking solutions to the nation's own ills including
burgeoning inflation and unemployment.
Summing up the world situation, the President said in his
prepared speech:
"The problems that confront us today are serious and
complex a worldwide inflation at a rate far in excess of
what we can tolerate; unparalleled disruption in the supply of

Nixon to miss trial's start
LONG BEACH, Calif. (UPI) Former President Nbion's
illness is dangerous enough that he will not be able to travel
for prolonged periods for at least a month, and possibly three
months, ruling out his early testimony in the Watergate cover
up trial, his doctor said yesterday. •
At a specially called news conference at Long Beach
Memorial Hospital, which Nixon entered a week ago, Dr. 4ohn
C. Lungren said he expected final reports on Nixon's
diagnoses by tomorrow.
Lungren said Nixon might be released from the hospital by
theend of the week, but would require an extensive period of
convalescence for his phlebitis and blood clot condition.)
"We will avoid protracted periods of sitting, of riding, of
standing, of riding in a car, airplane, bus, you have it," said
Lungren in describing Nixon's limitations.
The doctor was asked how long a period of such restrictions
would continue.
"I can't_tell Lungren said. "It's certainly going to be,
in my estimation at least a month, maybe longer. Maybe three
months. In all honesty, I don't know."
Lungren did say Nixon's condition was such that he would
recommend that Nixon not' even give a written deposition in
the Watergate coverup caSe, scheduled to begin today in
Washington, D.C:, tor at Least two or three weeks.
Further tests will be conducted this week to determine the
course of future treatment, he said. Lungren said there was no
indication at the present time that there was any''need for
surgery, but that therapy by anti-coagulants would continue.

One woman delegate denounced the South African govern
ment as "an inhuman regime."
But the General Assembly did not immediately oust
South Africa from further"U.N. proceedings.
The decision was taken in two separate votes in which a
group of mostly black African nations supported by the non
aligned. Socialist and most Asian nations steamrollered the
138-nation General Assembly.
After a lengthy debate in which a number of African and
Socialist delegates condemned the South African govern
ment's strict racial segregation policy known as apartheid in
strongest terms, the meeting decided 98-23 with 14 abstentions
to reject South Africa's credentials.
In a second vote, it adopted a resolution co-sponsored by 46
nations asking the Security Council to take the future
relationship between South Africa and theLUnited Nations
under review by raising no objections against South Africa's
participation in the second vote, the meeting tacitly consented
to South Africa's continued. presence.
The Security Council alone has power to recommend the
expulsion of a member from the United Nations.

about Cuba

elect in 1960.
Castro's government also
allowed 29 American
newsmen the largest
number in years to come in
to cover the visit. Several
were remaining on a few
more days.
The American concerns
which the two senators aired
in their talks with Cuban
leaders included:
—The fact that Cuba is the
closest country to the United
States which conceivably
could threaten its - security;
Cuba allowed Russian
missiles to be stationed here
in 1962.
'— The fact that Cuba is still
holding . nine American
political prisoners and about
ranging from marijuana
possession to hijacking.
The fact that huge
American investments were
seized here without corn
pensation.
The fact that the United
States has been concerned
about Cuba's attempts to
export its revolution
elsewhere in the hemisphere.
What the senators heard
were Cuban complaints
against the economic em
bargo imposed on .the island
by the United-States and then
by the Organization of
American States. The OAS is
expected to vote in November
to lift the embargo. v..•
