Johnson Calls For Action On Reserve Bill
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson urged Congress to break the deadlock over the military reserves bill. He warned the nation could be imperiled by delaying the draft measure as House opposition and a civil rights amendment stalled action. The Senate Armed Services Committee may revive efforts by reviewing a House bill to extend the draft and possibly include the reserve program.

Cigarette smoking linked to higher lung cancer death rates
Two American Cancer Society statisticians presented at the American Medical Association meeting that heavy cigarette smoking raises lung cancer death rates. They reported a ninefold higher death rate for heavy smokers and a 14 percent higher rate for former heavy smokers among 188,000 men aged 0 to 70 observed since 1961. Critics say pipe and cigar smoking show weaker or no links. The report, led by Dr. H. Cuyler Hammond of Yale and R. Daniel Horn, cites data from 8,105 deaths among 285 confirmed cancer cases and compares lighter smoking. Page Two preview.
