Cancer death rate in state hits record high
HARRISBURG (AP) The cancer death rate hit a
record high in the state last year while newborn and
infant deaths reached a record low, state health
statistics have shown.
Heart disease still was the biggest killer, causing 40
percent of the deaths in the state'in 1978, the statistics
showed. •
"The 1978 cancer mortality rate of 215.9 per 100,000
population is the highest ever recorded in the com
monwealth," according to the Health Department's
1978 birth and death statistics.
Deaths from lung cancer showed the greatest in
crease since 1964, rising 65 percent. And the rate went
up more for women than men.
Since 1965, the cancer death rate has jumped 20
percent, from a level of 179.9 per 100,000 in 1964, the
report said.

Health officials said they didn't have any information
on why the rate is rising.
"We don't haye any studies," said Krishnan
Ramaswamy, head of health statistics.
Of all the forms of cancer, stomach and digestive
cancers claimed the most victims 27.9 percent• of all

bone, connective tissue, skin and breast cancer, 10.8
percent; cancer of genital organs, 10.8 percent; and
cancer of lymphatic and blood cell tissue, 5.4 percent.
In 1978, 61 percent of all cancer deaths were in people

Cancer, however, still claims only about half as many
people each year as does heart disease, the leading

disease, compared to 21.3 percent for cancer.
Last year in Pennsylvania, 48,573 persons died
because of heart disease and 25,376 because of cancer.
However, the death rate from heart disease has fallen
9 percent since 1964 although it was up slightly, 0.6
percent, last year.
The heart disease death . rate for men is down 13
percent and for women, down 5.7 percent.
Meanwhile, death rates. ,for infants and newborns
dipped to 13.4 and 10.2 per 1,000 live births, lowest ever
for the state.
Also the actual number of deaths, 1,540 newborns and
2,031 infants, reached a record low, the study said.
Despite the cancer increases, people are living longer
than ever, MacLeod said. .
"The average child born in 1978 has a life expectancy
of 73.3 years," he said.
O'Neill prediction:
Carter vs. Reagan
WASHINGTON (UPI) House
Speaker Thomas O'Neill, long a
political ally of Sen. Edward Ken
nedy, said yesterday he thinks the
1980 election will pit President Carter
against former Gov. Ronald Reagan
of California.
Saying he had no inside in
formation, O'Neill told reporters he
doubted Kennedy would seek the
nomination.
"The nominee will be - Jimmy
Carter," O'Neill said. "He will be
fighting (Ronald) Reagan, who's got
it sewed up" for the GOP nomination.
As for Kennedy, D-Mass., the
speaker said: "I think if he were a
candidate he'd be out there
organizing."
O'Neill said thal Kennedy has put
together no campaign organization
and has sent no advance organizers
into the field. That simply is not the'
Kennedy style, he said.
"Any organization out there is a
rump organization, and that just isn't
a Kennedy organization," he said.
While O'Neill said he would likely
support Kennedy if he runs, he said
he perionally liked Carter, calling
him "a brilliant man, highly in
telligent."' O'Neill said Carter was
doing "as reasonably good a job" as
any man could under the cir
cumstances.
Kennedy has said he will decide by
late this year whether to challenge
Carter for the Democratic
nomination:He said his decision will
be based in part on Carter's handling
of the economy.
In Proyidence, R. 1., U.S. Am
bassador-at-large Elliott Richardson
said he expects Kennedy to seek the
nomination and said he would be "a
formidable challenger to President
Carter."
"Kennedy's footwqrk has been
pretty nimble lately," the
Massachusetts Republican said.
"He's made movements toward
being more conservative while at the
same time pointing toward his earlier
accomplishments which were quite 1 0.
liberal."
Kennedy's statements over the past
two weeks have sparked a flurry of
activity among draft Kennedy groups
across the nation.
Marianne Olson, co-chairman of
the Pennsylvania draft Kemiedy
movement, said Democratic National
Chairman John White should resign
because he supported Carter's re
election and was therefore unable to
be impartial.
"John White not only does not
understand our party, he doesn't
understand what's troubling the s
American people," she said.
Carter lost an ally in Florida when
state comptroller S Gerald Lewis
became the first statewide of
ficeholder to announce his support for
Kennedy.
Florida Democrats will vote in a
"straw ballot" at a state convention
in November to choose a presidential
favorite, although the balloting is not
binding and the state will hold a
presidential primary next March.
Public pope?
Aethiest leaders Jon Murray, left, and his mother, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, have filed suit against Pope John Paul II and the
U.S. Parks Service. They are trying to prevent the pope from saying Mass on public property during his visit to the United
States.
