McElroy Plans Go
Aliead on Both
Nike, Bomarc
WASHINGTON, UPi — A com
promise decision to continue both
the Nike and Bomarc missile pro
grams at a cut-back level was re
ported in the making yesterday.
An influential Congressional of
ficial said he had been informed
that Secretary of Defense Neil H.
McElroy plans to recommend.a go
ahead for both the Nike-Hercules
and Bomarc missiles.
But he said the Secrtary is
likely to propose to President Eis
enhower a reduction in outlays for
both of the missiles, since they
represent air defense only against
bombs at a time when chances of
missile attacks are growing. This
decision was expected to depend
in part on the reports McElroy
receives on progress toward ob
taining the Nike-Zeus antimissile
missile.
Eisenhower told his news con
ference Wednesday that “a com
plete and exhaustive” survey of
the missile field is being made by
McElroy and should be completed
within 10 days.
The Army and the Air Force
have been squabbling over the
respective merits of their missiles
and House and Senate committees
also have taken opposing stands.

Cancer Society
Launches Drive
Against Tobacco
BOSTON, UP) — The American
Cancer Society today launched an
intensified drive to alert physi
cians and the public “to the dan
gers of cigarette smoking.”
The society’s directors, meeting
in Boston, approved pilot show
ings of a 17-minute film in selec
tive communities to test the effec
tiveness of using a movie to pre
sent “The Dangers of Tobacco.”
Dr. Dean Davies of New York,
administrator for research on lung
cancer for the American Cancer
Society, and Dr. Howard C. Tay
lor, a director-at-large, said more
than a score of studies in differ
ent parts of the world all showed
lung cancer patients to be pre
i dominantly cigarette smokers.
In connection with the society s
i announced drive, the Tobacco In

“The cancer society has consis

scientific reports and opinions
that do not support or that tend
to refute the society’s charges
against tobacco.”

Indications Point
To U. S. Raising
Price for Gold
From the Division of
Mines and Minerals Bulletin
Prognostications that the price
of gold will rise are increasing
steadily. The public’s interest in
gold is mounting, and it seems to
be the subject of almost countless
articles and discussion. Gold stocks
are active. One author says the
price will go up by 1962 for sure
because there will be a change of
administration before then. An
other says that the rise in gold
is inevitable because a financial
crisis is approaching that will
cause it. A good friend of our
making a special study of the sit
uation wrote to us recently say
ing he was left . . . “with the in
escapable conclusion that a price
increase cannot be safely deferred
for more than a year.”
The Administration and the In
ternational Monetary Fund are
standing pat. A group of senators
and representatives, including the
Alaska delegation, met with
Treasury Secretary Anderson on
the matter, and heard him oppose
it once again. A spokesman for
the group quoted Anderson as say
ing that increasing the price of
gold would be equivalent to de
valuing the dollar and that any
change in the gold price would
have serious world repercussions.

The Alaskan Senators have in
troduced a bill in Congress to help
tin mining. It would provide for
the purchase of lode tin at $1.40
per pound and placer tin at $1.25,
and would set up delivery points
to include one at Seattle.

The largest bucket line dredges
in the world are a pair that are
i mining tin in Indonesia. They have
1 hulls 246 feet long and are as tall
as a 9-story building from water
level to roof top. The bucket lad
ders are 216 feet long, dig to a
depth of 100 feet below water
I level, and carry 148 14 cubic foot
buckets weighing 4,025 pounds
each.
Dr. Harvey Anderson is reliev
ing Dr. Wm. Woodcock, who left
for the Outside to bring back his
family. Dr. Woodcock’s family
plans to stay for the winter in
Nome. Dr. Anderson will be here
for about two weeks.

Case of the Inquiring
Horticulturists . . .
MAYWOOD, N. J., UP) — Roses
are red, violets are blue. But
police here have had enough of
flowers, thank you.
A week ago the local weekly
newspaper advertised for persons
with garden troubles to call the
County Agricultural Extension
Service. But the ad carried the
police phone number by mistake.
About 150 persons called head
quarters with horticultural com
plaints.
The police hope a correction in
the paper will get them off the
hook.
