WASHINGTON (UPI)
The Senate's ethics com
mittee is investigating allega
tions that the 3M Company
made illegal contributions
to at least 20 senators, it was
learned yesterday. Sources
said such payments also went
to about 40 House members.

House rejects JFK death inquiry
WASHINGTON (UPI) The House
Rules Committee yesterday rejected 9 to
6 a request that Congress investigate the
assassination of John F. Kennedy
because of new evidence not considered
by the Warren Commission.
Reps. Thomas Downing, D-Va., and
Henry Gonzalez, D-Tex., asked the panel
to send the House a resolution creating a
House Select Committee to make the
Jr., and the wounding of Alabama Gov.
George Wallace, should also be included
in the investigation.
Rep. B.F. Sisk, D-Calif., whose motion
to.defer action on the request was ap
proved, said, "We ought to put this
Kennedy assassination on ice and not.
just keep on with the idea that we have to
repent, repent, repent. ,
"The Warren Commission did the best
being contacted number at
least 20, and that 3M made
similar contributions to
approximately 40 members of
the House.
A spokesman for Proxmire
said a check of his records
showed a 3M official paid $2OO
for two tickets to a Proxmire
fundraising affair in 1969,
although there was no record
of another $lOO contribution
reported by 3M. But the
senator has sent 3M $3OO
anyway, the spokesman said.
Since the tickets were
bought with personal checks,
Proxmire's press secretary
said, "there was no way for
our committee to know they
were corporate con
tributions."
Hormone may be answer
Cancer cure researched
ST. PETERSBURG
BEACH, Fla. (UPI) A
Nebraska cancer specialist
said yesterday animal, tests
suggest supplements of a
female hormone to cause
"pseudo pregnancies" may
prevent breast cancer in
large numbers of women.
Dr. H.M. Lemon, professor
of medicine at the University
of Nebraska, believes enough
is known about the effects of
the hormone estriol to begin
testing it in women under 40
who have higher than normal
Job it could. What difference does it
make now?"
Downing said news media surveys
show overwhelming public opinion the
Warren Commission's finding that Lee
Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting
Kennedy was not based on all available
evidence and a new inquiry should be
made.

risks of developing breast
cancer.
His. theory, however, is the
subject of some controversy
among cancer researchers.
There are some who doubt
estriol would have an anti
cancer effect in women.
In Washington, the Food
and Drug Administration said
it is considering an ap
plication from Lemon for
clearance to conduct a human
trial. Action is expected
within a few weeks.
Lemon said he also needs
approval from , either the
American Cancer Society or
the National Cancer Institute,
which would be expected to
finance such a test: He said it
would take 20 years to get
conclusive results.
Lemon outlined his
research at an American
Cancer Society seminar and
said a human trial "is
urgently needed in the United
States if any signficant im
pact is to be made in lowering
the death rate from this
principal killer of women
between ages 35 to 55 years."
Breast cancer is the leading
cancer killer of women in the
United States, claiming 33,000
lives annually.
Estriol production in
women is increased 1,000 fold
during pregnancy. It is known
,that lower rates of breast
cancer occur in women who
have their first child before
the age of 25. Lemon presumes
that the increased estriol
output in these women. at an
early age has some preventive
effect.
By giving non-pregnant
women supplemental estriol,
Lemon said the hormone
would in effect be creating a
pseduo pregnancy in women.
He said there is evidence
larger doses may also have a
contraceptive effect.
