Urban Atmosphere May Start Cancer
NEW YORK- (UPI)—A scientific team led by an authority on environmental cancer believes every community has its own atmospheric potential for causing lung cancer and it's high time these individual potentials were being minutely investigated.

National Cancer Institute, and his five associates, investigated only four potentials from the atmospheres of eight American cities and found all of them capable of causing cancer—in mice.
THE FOUR potentials were aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons which the exhausts of motor vehicles and industrial plants put into the atmosphere. The eight cities were Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala., Cincinnati, O., Detroit, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Particles of these four chemical fractions were dissolved and injected into mice and invariably gave rise to cancers at the sites of injection. Because mice are not people and because injection site cancers are not lung cancer, the scientists made no direct comparisons among cities.
But their evidence indicated each city had a different potential which involved much more than four chemical fractions in pure form. Also involved were the effects of varying climates and amounts of sunshine on these and other ingredients of atmospheric pollution.
"The present studies represent merely a first and preliminary step in a prolonged and comprehensive program dealing with relationships between air pollutants and health hazards, including cancers," they said in reporting to a technical organ of the American Medical Association (AMA).
BUT IT WAS CLEAR to them that "every community has an atmospheric carcinogenic (cancer-causing) spectrum which depends upon local conditions which include not only industrial activities and traffic conditions but also climate, solarization and geological conditions."
They were critical of the scientific evidence which has assigned cigarette-smoking a principal role in the increasing rate of lung cancer. However, they thought the evidence "justifies the conclusion that cigarette smoking has contributed to or aggravated the action of other carcinogenic respiratory pollutants by producing especially functional disturbances of the bronchial muscosa.

C. David Barrier, Wichita junior and chairman of the KU Peace Corps speaker's bureau, said he is looking for students to speak on the Peace Corps program at high schools, colleges, and meetings of business and civic organizations throughout the state.
Speakers Needed For Peace Corps
The KU Peace Corps Committee is asking students here for help in a state-wide promotional program.
Among the topics which have been selected for speeches are:
"The speaker's bureau provides an opportunity for its members to combine speaking talent with a fascinating and far-reaching foreign policy—the Peace Corps," he said.
Barrier spoke last night at the Peace Corps' executive council meeting in the Kansas Union.
"The Peace Corps—Our Best Foreign Aid Investment"; "Women in the Peace Corps"; "The Peace Corps Volunteer—Who is He?"; "The Peace Corps on the College Campus"; "Preparing for the Peace Corps"; "Teachers in the Peace Corps", and "American Labor and the Peace Corps."
--applied "economic pressures" in the past to prevent enforcement of laws against B-drinking.
Robert Cuenthner, Topeka junior, has been appointed project committee chairman for the KU Peace Corps. The committee will correspond with Corps volunteers abroad, KU alumni and Kansas communities.
The committee also plans to introduce a foreign language seminar for prospective KU Corpsmen and to collect items, including books, which volunteers need.

"I don't think there is going to be a single strip joint left," Garrison said.
NEW ORLEANS — (UPI)—Every strip tease bar in New Orleans' colorful French Quarter will be closed by next spring in a crackdown on B-girls, District Attorney Jim Garrison predicted today.
B-girls employed by the bars coerce customers to buy them drinks, usually tea disguised as liquor or champagne, and get a commission.
THE NEW DISTRICT Attorney said strip clubs on Bourbon and Canal streets depend on B-girls for their profits. He said it must stop.
"WHETHER B-DRINKING is moral or immoral is not for me to decide . . . " Garrison said. "It happens that B-drinking is against the law."

"But this time, a mistake was made," he said. "An independent district attorney was elected."
HE SAID THAT because of such clubs, dependence on B-drinking for profits, they would have to close or switch to jazz and other forms of entertainment.
Some of the clubs are thinking about switching their programs. Others are "sweating it out."
French Quarter night clubs, with dozens of strip joints with about a two-block area of Bourbon Street, are the main after-dark tourist attraction in New Orleans.
