Bubonic Plague Fleas
Discovered On Rats
In Port of Tacoma
TACOMA, UP—Federal officials
have put this port under surveil
lance as a result of the finding
of bubonic plague fleas on a rat
caught here last week.
The surveillance order, to be
lifted as soon as health officers
are certain the threat of plague
has ceased, requires extra precau
tions against rats leaving or
boarding ships in the harbor.
The port is not under quaran
tine, which would stop movement
of ships in and out of the harbor.
Bars are something which, if
you go into too many pf, you are
apt to come out singing a few of,
and maybe land behind some of.

Cigaret President
Says Cancer Group
Opp oses Industry
NEW YORK, UP)—The president
of the Reynolds Tobacco Co. ac
cuses the American Cancer Soci
ety of attempting to destroy the
tobacco industry.
This attack on the society was
made by E. A. Darr, who heads
the firm which manufactures
Camel, Winston and Cavalier
cigarets, at a luncheon Monday.
Darr, addressing a luncheon
meeting of the Security Analysts’
Assn., declared the society first
adopted a “guilt by association”
method of blaming cigarets for
lung cancer.
He said that in 1953 the cociety
had, so to speak, placed cigarets
at the “scene of the crime” of
lung cancer.
By June, 1954, he said, it was
claiming some association be
tween smoking and lung cancer.
Then in October, he added, society
spokesmen said there was a def
inite association between the two.
Said Darr:
“The American Cancer Society
has decided to put all its eggs in
one basket and to destroy the
cigaret industry.”

Organization Urges
Five-Year Extension of
Reciprocal Trade Program
WASHINGTON, l/Pi—'The Com
mittee for Economic Development
i CED i, a private research organi
zation of business leaders, Tues
day urged a five-year extension
of th’e reciprocal trade program
and a policy of “gradual and se
lective tariff reduction.”
The CED issued a policy state
ment that in the main supported
President Eisenhower’s foreign
trade proposals. In some respects,
the CED went further than Eisen
hower, who has asked Congress to
extend the trade agreements act
for only three years and to grant
him broader tariff-cutting powers.
Eisenhower settled this year for
a one-year extension of the old
reciprocal trade program without
change when it became apparent
Congress would not take up his
recommendations at its legislative
session then drawing toward a
close. The trade law is scheduled
to die in June. In agreeing to ac
cept the simple one-year exten
sion, Eisenhower urged Congress
to get an early start next year on
considering his full program.
