3 Million Americans
Will Die of Cancer
In Next Ten Years
NEW YORK, MB —In the next
10 years three million Americans
will die of cancer.
That prediction, based on pre
sent mortality rates, was made by
Harry McEnerny Jr. of New Or
leans, a director of the American
Cancer Society.
“That is the measure of our
challenge,” he told the society’s
annual meeting. “Are we doing all
we can to save the lives of those
who have cancer?”
It is in the power of medicine
to almost eliminate cancer of the
uterus as a cause of death, he
said. But cancer of the breast, the
digestive tract, the lung, and other
areas are still great challenges.
The Cancer Society will have to
get greater financial support from
business and industry, reported
Edgar J. Forio, a Coca-Cola Co.
executive and chairman of the
society’s 1960 money-raising cru
sade. He said only 10 per cent of
the society’s income now comes
from business sources.

N. Y. Garment District
Gives Candidate Kennedy
Biggest Welcome Yet
NEW YORK. UPl — New York’s
garment district gave Sen. John
Kennedy a roaring welcome yes
terday, packing the streets and
filling the air with bits of colored
cloth instead of ticker tape.
The crowd that jammed the
eight-block-long district was es
timated at 200,000 to 250,000 by
Frank Doyle, executive secretary
to Mayor Robert F. Wagner.
The crowd cheered Kennedy’s
appeal to “give us your hands and
your heart, give us this state of
New York which is essential to
the election of a Democratic Pre
sident—let’s roll the Republicans
all the way back to California.”
California is the native state of
Vice President Nixon.
Doyle said there was no com
parison between the packed
crowd, extending half a block
down side streets from Seventh
Avenue, the garment district thor
oughfare, and the more modest
turnout Nixon got in the same
area several weeks ago.
The garment district is a strong
hold both of Democrats and of
New York’s Liberal party, which
also has endorsed Kennedy.
Kennedy launched into the
campaign attack he has been us
ing in labor areas here, in Detroit
and elsewhere. He accused the
Republicans of opposing consist
ently minimum wages, social se
curity and health care legisla
tion sponsored by Democrats.

Politicians Take
Back Seat To
Sinatra at Rally
By DONALD F. BOLLES
NEWARK, N. J., OPi—A shoving
and screaming crowd turned a
Democratic rally into near-pan
demonium Wednesday night as
political figures took a back seat
to Hollywood celebrities.
Dozens of policemen had their
hands full controlling a surging
mass of humanity estimated at
between 25,000 and 40,000 per
sons.
Fifteen women fainted. One
man was carried out above the
heads of the crowd. Cars crawled
slowly along streets, looking for
non-existent parking places.
The cause of the hubbub was
not Adlai E. Stevenson, the fea
tured speaker, but Frank Sinatra
of Hoboken and Hollywood.
An ear-splitting shout came
from the crowd as the singer and
other celebrities were brought
into the hall past girls trying to
touch their idol.
Almost the entire crowd of
14,000 inside the armory—some
in formal gowns and evening
dress—stood on chairs to get a
better glimpse of the Hollywood
stars. Flash bulbs popped with
machine-gun rapidity.
Sinatra tried to talk, but few
could hear him.
Peter Lawford, brother-in-law
of Sen. John Kennedy, introduced
Janet Leigh, who dazzled the
crowd in her glittering silver
dress.
Then it was time for Tony Cur
tis, Janet Leigh’s husband.
Noting that Vice President Nix
on had said on the fourth tele
vision debate that the United
States couldn’t stand pat, Curtis
said, “I can’t stand Pat either.”
There were cheers.
Sinatra made his way to the 14
piece orchestra stand. Introduced
as “the next ambassador to Italy”
he sang seven popular songs.
The affair was supposed to be
the annual Governor’s Ball but
no one could dance in the mob.
Jury In 9th Day of
Deliberations On
'Finch Murder Retrial
LOS ANGELES, UPt—“Well, it
looks like they’ve got a verdict
on the doctor but they’re hung up
on Carole,” Dr. Bernard Finch’s
attorney said today.
Grant B. Cooper made the re
mark after leaving a conference
in the chambers of Superior
Judge Leroy Dawson, who pre
sided over the retrial of Dr. Finch
and his mistress, Carole Tregoff,
on charges they murdered the
surgeon’s society wife, Barbara.
The remark apparently was an
expression of opinion, as the jury
has not been polled and is for
bidden to discuss the case.
The jury now in its ninth day
of deliberations, asked this mor
ning to have reread part of the
transcript of Miss Tregoff’s testi
mony.

Gruening Takes Nixon
To Task For Military
Withdrawal In Alaska
WASHINGTON, UP) — Sen. Er
nest Gruening said today Vice
President Nixon is either ignor
ant or careless about reductions
in military forces stationed in
Alaska.
In a campaign statement,
Gruening quoted Nixon as having
said in a televised interview ear
lier this month that “as far as
any withdrawal of troops from
Alaska or any other place is con
cerned, no action of that type will
be taken unless it is for security
reasons and it will certainly not
be taken for budget reasons. In
essence ... I have no knowledge
of any plan to reduce our forces
in Alaska for budget reasons or
any other reason.”
Gruening said this was a
“shocking example of either ig
norance or carelessness."
The senator said the Air Force
has advised him of plans for a
reduction of 1,570 military per
sonnel and 325 civilians working
for the military in Alaska, to be
come effective in January.
He said the number of military
personnel stationed in Alaska al
ready has been reduced from
48,563 in 1952 to 32,606 last June
30.
n “Unfortunately for the nation
and the free world,” Gruening
said, “the reduction of forces in
Alaska is not just a plan, it is
a reality, as all Alaskans know.
The budget rather than national
security has governed in this mat
ter.
“Like the Air Force in Alaska,
with a negligible number of fight
er planes, and the Army, with no
missiles whatever, the Navy in
Alaska has no ships.”

Sisters of Jesus, leaves for a new

Nixon Says Americans
Not Betting on Recession
By JACK BELL
WITH NIXON IN ILLINOIS,
Oft—Vice President Richard Nixon
said today the American people
“have more sense than Sen. Ken
nedy” and are not betting there
will be an economic recession.
Nixon fired new volleys at his
Democratic rival as he pushed his
campaign across Illinois after a
hectic day in Michigan.
In Danville, 111., Nixon fired
away at Kennedy's contention
that the nation is slipping into a
recession because of Eisenhower
administration policies.
Citing record automobile pro
duction for this time of year, the
Vice President said “The Ameri
can people are not betting on a
recession.”
“They have more sense than
Sen. Kennedy,” he said. “They
have faith in America, and I wish
Sen. Kennedy had more.”
Plagued by a cold and laryn
gitis, Nixon said the cold is not
going to slow down his campaign
ing. His voice was hoarse and
cracking.
