Cigarette Smoke
(in! Cause (dancer
CHICAGO i,? — A team (if med
ical researchers say tests have de
monstrated tobacco drawn through
fiber tipped eigrettes contains a
tar substance that can cause skin
cancers in mice, but that filtered
smoke yielded only one-third the
amount of tar in standard ciga
rette smoke.
They said tumors were induced
by every brand of cigarette test
ed.
The report, published today in
the journal of the American Medi
cal Assn., said six brands of ciga
rettes, including two filtertip types,
were used in the one-year study.
The research was undertaken to
determine if the cancer risk had
been eliminated from cigarettes,
or reduced by modifications in re
cent years.
There were fewer tumors and a
slower onset of tumors among the
filtered cigarette group.
The experimental procedure con
sisted of condensing the smoke
from machine-smoke cigarettes to
obtain the tar, they explained. The
tar was dissolved in a solvent,
acetone, and applied to the shaved
skin of the mouse in amounts equi
valent to 8.3 cigarettes a day.
“In recent years," the report
stated, “the tobacco companies
have introduced many new brands
and have modified existing brands
of cigarettes.
"The advertisements of some
brands imply that these modifi
cations have resulted in lower tar
levels in the smoke.”
The tobacco industry, however,
contends there is no evidence that
smoking causes cancer.
The research team said the im
plications of the study are “in
direct, but meaningful.” The smoke
of all six brands of cigarettes
proved capable of causing cancer
in mice, but the total amount of
smoke delivered to the target area
from the filtered cigarettes result- !
ed in a lowering of the incidence I
of tumors, they said.
“The ideal of course . . . would j
be to stop smoking altogether,” j
they said.

at Nome School last year and who j

hill, Ore., this year.
Snnr-r--i
ANCHORAGE W -Georut- Sund
horg. administrative assistant to
Sen. Ernest Grunning, char, ed here
tile Republican State Central Com
mittee is attempting to force Sec
retary of State nominee Hob Ross
to resign so it can replace him with
Howard Pollock in the general
election.
Sundborg made his charge at the
weekly luncheon meeting of the
Club. Grunning is seeking re-elec
tion this year.
The GOP Central Committee
members "are putting unconscious
able pressure on this fellow Ross,"
said Sundborg.
Sundborg said this is the same
procedure followed by the Repub
licans in 1958 when Secretary of
State nominee Karl Dewey of Ju
neau was replaced by Brad Phil
lips on the November ticket.
Pollock, an Anchorage attorney,
was narrowly defeated for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination
by Mike Stepovich in last week's
primary election. But he outpolled
all gubernatorial candidates, in
cluding Gov. Egan and George
Byer in the greater Anchorage
area.
Ross is in Nome today and on
hearing of Sundborg’s charge said
there was nothing to it — that
"Sundborg is desperate and grasp
ing at straws.”
Stan Harhut of the RCA Anvil
