70,000 Workers Studied -- Cigarettes Are Still Called a Major Cause
E X C E L S IO R SPR IN G S, Mo.,
A pril 6 (U P I)-- M ore th an 70, 000 w orkers are being checked
to see w hether th eir jobs m ake
them particularly susceptible
to lung cancer. Those being studied include
cooks, ste am -fitters and all
others who w ork w ith asbestos;
welders, p ainters; lead, zinc and
copper m iners, w orkers in the
engine room s of ships and oper
a to r s of `o v e rh e a d co n v ey o rs of
m olten m etals.
.
T he check-up w as disclosed
a t a sem inar on cancer research
a t the Elm s H otel here. I t is being sponsored by the A m eri
can C ancer Society. Dr. L ester Breslow, epidem i
ologist of the California S tate
D epartm ent of H ealth, said he
had questioned m ore th an 70,
000 w orkers in those fields by
m ail about th eir health status,
especially in relation to cancer,
and was tabulating the answ ers
sta tistic a lly .
O ther Cause Sought
The study is scientifically sig nificant because w hereas some epidem iologists believe th a t they have proved th a t cigarette sm oking is a m ajor cause of
lung cancer, other scientists
say th a t cig arette sm oking is not enough in itself to account for the m arked increase in the incidence of th a t disease over
the last, forty years. 1 Thus scientific investigators
are checking occupational haz ards th a t m ight account for
th e su b stan tial m inority" of lung cancer cases caused by som ething else, D r. Breslow
continued. L ung cancer p atien ts in
thirteen California hospitals
w ere tabulated by occupation. These were compared w ith an equal num ber of patients hospi talized for diseases other than
cancer. Am ong the lung cancer cases
w ere fourteen w elders. Only
two w elders w ere am ong the
non-cancer group. The other proportions w ere:
C ooks 35 c a n c e r cases a n d 21 n o n -c a n c e r: m olten m etals con veyors, 5 and l; steam -ritters
10 a n d 1; p a in te rs 22 a n d 12;
lead zinc and copper m iners 9 and 3; m arine engine room
w o rk e rs 12 a n d 6. Dr. Breslow and the other
epidem iologists em phasized their
unanim ous agreem ent th a t cigarette sm oking w as a prim e cause of lung cancer. B ut, in th eir opinion, c ertain occupa
tional h azard s could have a "booster" effect in sm okers and affect non-sm okers.

The vacancy w as caused last F riday by the retirem en t of Chief Judge John W . Clancy.
Mr. M etzner had been un der consideration by the Justice D epartm ent for m any m onths fo r the seat left open in D e cem ber, 1957, by Ju d g e L aw rence E. W alsh. Judge W alsh resigned to become Deputy A t torney General.
B u t on M arch 10 P resid en t Eisenhow er passed over Mr. M etzner and nom inated the o th er leading candidate, Lloyd F . M acM ahon. M r. M acM ahon, like Mr. M etzner, a New Y ork law yer in private practice, w as form erly national chairm an of Citizens fo r Eisenhow er.
B oth the New Y ork Repub lican organization and the s t a t e 's tw o R e p u b lic a n S e n a tors, Jacob K. Javits and Ken neth B. Keating, had endorsed Mr. M etzner.
Now S enator Ja v its is ex p e c te d to b rin g M r. M e tz n e r's nam e forw ard again. The Sena to r said today th a t he would "recom m end Mr. M etzner m ost highly." The Justice D epart m ent is also believed ready to endorse M r. M etzner at, this tim e.
M r. M etzner, w ho is 46, served as executive assistan t to A t torney General H erbert Brow nell Jr.' in 1953 and 1954.
