Researchers Argue Case For Cancer In Cigarettes
WASHINGTON—(UP)—A Cleveland, Ohio, research firm claimed Thursday it has discovered a cancer-producing agent in cigarettes—and a way to eliminate it. ◎
However, Dr. S. Z. Cardon, a chemist for the Rand Development Corp. of Cleveland, said his firm found that a "known cancer-producing agent" called "3,4 benzypyrene" occurred in condensed tars of smoke from cigarettes as well as cigarette paper and cigars.
At the same time, Prof. Harry S. N. Greene, head of the pathology department at Yale Medical School, pooh-poohed various medical reports indicating a relationship between smoking and lung cancer. He said such findings are based on statistical studies and that "statistics do not in themselves establish a cause and effect relationship."
Cardon and Green made their statements in testimony prepared
For example, Greene said, by using statistics alone it might be possible to conclude that since bald-headed men frequently occupy the front row in burlesque houses, "the continued close observation of chorus girls in tights caused loss of hair from the top of the head."

U. S. Surgeon General Leroy Burney said last week that more research is needed to substantiate "that benzyppyrene of itself is present in sufficient quantities in cigarette tars to cause human lung cancers."
Cardon said, however, similar studies made at the Pasteur Institute in France and at the French Tobacco Monoply Laboratories have verified the results of Rand's research.
Dr. John R. Heller, director of the National Cancer Institute, was reported earlier this week as saying that 3.4 benzpyrene is known to cause cancer in animals. But he said researchers are "not convinced that the agent is in the paper."
He said laboratory tests by his firm showed that treating cigarette paper and tobacco with ammonium sulfamate "sharply reduced" benzypyrene in tars.
3 Chemical Plants Lead Kansas List
