Various Cancers Linked to Asbestos
3y BRIAN SULLIVAN AP Science Writer
NEW YORK - Asbestos-
study人员 in industrial workers who smoke,
was further linked Wednesday
with cancers of the esophagus.
A substantial number of deaths over what would be expected from these cancers was found in a study of insulation workers in the United States and Canada period from 1983 through 1971.
The report came from Dr. R. Hammond, a senior School of Medicine in New York and Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond and Herbert Middleton of the New York Medical Center.
THEIR REPORT was presented to the meeting of a group of physicians at the effects of asbestos, at the international agency for Research Cancer Organization, in Lyon, France. It was made available in New York University Press.
In 1964 and 1985, Selikoff and Hammond reported what they call 'the then unexpected success of a gastrointestinal cancer among New York insulation workers.' We were small to permit firm conclusions.
among insulation workers in Belfast.
"We have now collected additional data," the scientists reported, "and these remain in the same direction, and very much at the same level of excess; three times the expected deaths."
"Moreover," they continued,
"the finding may be of con-
stitution, but in view of the dearth of useful hypotheses on the etiology cause of gastrointestinal cancer in colon and rectum in particular."
THE RESEARCHERS said a similar excess of deaths from cancer of the esophagus, stomach.
Selikoff and Hammond have reported previously that employment in asbestos insulation work greatly increases the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers, who are more likely to increase, among smokers.
Mansfield Backs Nader's Report
The volume, "Who Runs Congress," concludes that the legislature is dominated by the President and special interests
But Mansfield was the only leader in leadership to have any favorable comment on the first volume of a massive study of Congress by Harold S. Kahn.
THEIR STUDIES have found that approximately one death in five among asbestos insulation workers died from the result of lung cancer, what they call "an extraordinary incidence". Gastrointestinal can cause that doubled and mesothelioma reached 7 per cent of all the deaths.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said Wednesday that there is "a good deal of meat in Ralph Nader's criticism of congressional operations.
House Speaker Carl Albert, D Okla., said he hadn't read Nader's report.
Without commenting directly on the leadership, we were refusing to surrender congressional control over the purse strings to the tribes.
Mansfield said, "The erosion of the states begins to give away Constitutional responsibilities in return for handouts of various funds."
All presidents since then have taken more power into their hands. Mansfield said.
"I don't blame the presidents
Nader's report spoke of this year's win, which ended 25 years. Manfield said, but, as it went back 40 years to the first admitment of the late John D. Reeves III.
TOPEKA (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court in effect ruled Wednesday that using titles and initials of titles with one's name on the Kansas election ballot is illegal, officials to stop the practice.
The court denied Douville's request that ballots marked for Brauchi be declared void, thus preventing a potential Republican primary nomination.
The court's decision came in a ruling on an appeal by Arthur W. Doville, Prairieville lawyer lawyer, who lost the victory of his primary election opponent, John T. "Tony" Johnson in John County legislature race.
Doville had contended use of the initials "M.D." behind Brauchl's name on the primary ballot had constituted an unfair disparity in brauchl's school. a University of Kansas medical school psychiatrist.
However, the court said Douville should have brought his challenge before the election, and being by the state Contest Board.
State Court Rules Titles Off Ballots
The court said that states with which a candidate had court decisions which have held that only the candidate's name may appear on the ballot during voting.
"We would agree, and would assume that Kansas election officers will take steps to insure that such descriptions do not hereafter appear unnecessarily in rolls in this state," the court said.
but Congress and the states," he said.
Secretary of State Elwil M. Shanahan, chief state election commissioner, had opinion and had written Atty. Gen. Vern Miller asking his help in ensuring his responsibility, if any, to take any steps regarding the ballots for the Nov 7 general election on which he names the names of some candidates.
Mesothelioma is a tumor of the lining of the chest or abdomen. Selkoff warned last Friday, at a conference in Los Angeles, that millions of Americans who worked in shipyards during World War II faced the possibility "of this once rare cancer."
Mansfield said he was delighted that a report had been issued stressing the need for changes and reforms in the stress.
These would be the more than three million Americans who were killed in Iraq in 1940, Selikoff said, and who may have been diseased or injured in the war, so we urged to get periodic medical checkups, including chest X-
Referring to the comments about him in the Nader report, Mansfield said: "He is entitled to his opinion. Maybe he's right."
Scientists believe the mesothelioma is caused primarily by exposure to asbestos particles that lodge in the lungs and remain there indefinitely. Selikoff also has expressed concern about the exposure of the general urban population to asbestos, such as asbestos-lined air-conditioning ducts and brake linings.

NEWARK, N. J., (AP)—Newsman Peter Bridge, who refused to answer grand jury questions during a municipal probe, went to jail Wednesday to face a second term for contempt of court.
The 36-year-old reporter, who worked on the new defunct Newark Evening News, is the first newsman imprisoned for breaking a court ruled last June 29 in another case that newsman may not withhold confidential information or sources from grand juries. The high court rejected a appeal of the jailing on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP)—Sen. George McGovern accused President Nixon Wednesday night of running a smear campaign against him and said the American people were going to vote "out in the open" instead of "hiding in the White House."
In a busy day that took him from the western New York city to the sprawling cities of speeches, to New York City, where he made three more, the Democratic presidential nominee Donald J. Trump on the President and his assignment of subordinates to carry the campaign against Hillary Clinton.
President Accused Of Smear Campaign
He also continued to express confidence that his uphill campaign would be better than it is', but said the next two weeks would be a critical point in raising the funds needed by the organization and radio addresses he planned.
In a speech for a dinner of New York's Liberal Party, which is backing him in the fight for the state's electoral notes, the governor, Spiro T. Agnew and other administration officials Nixon's "errant boys" and said, "no wonder he runs a smear campaign on paid television and which distort my record."
McGovern said, contending that Nixon's "is the trickiest, most deceitful administration in our entire national history."
Hitting at the GOP's "re-elect the President" *dolog*, he said, "I think they feel that the word Nixon is better lot than the word Nixon."
Mulligan said Bridge's case was an example of a growing threat to newsmen stemming from the 2013 decision of the Supreme Court.
Bridge said Wednesday he hoped his case would spur Congress to make newsmen immune from such prosecution.
Although Bridge testified as to what was in his history, he refuted to answer questions about information beyond the scope of the article.

His statement was read to a House Judiciary Subcommittee by John Mulligan, secretary of the New York Press Club.
He is expected to remain in jail until the grand jury investigates his wrongdoing and dismisses the panel has not met since June and is on standby until October.
"Under that decision," said Mulligan, "every news reporter, rewrite book, news caster or other. Don't go to jail; the prospect of going to jail."
Several other bills have been introduced in Congress to prevent newsmen from being forced to disclose their sources.
