Most-favored-nation tariffs on the items involved will be suspend- ed Jan. 3 unless, in the meantime, the Common Market grants rea- sonable access to U.S. poultry. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger estimated that the tariff increases, including the cost of insurance and freight, will ap- proximate $26 million annually.. President Lyndon B. Johnson, by proclamation, suspended the most-favored-nation treatment for the articles involved, but provided the lower tariffs may be restored if the Common Market agrees to reasonable access for United States poultry. The presidential action repre- sented the last step in the "chicken war" with the Common Market.. The higher tariffs will g6 into ef- fect in 30 days. The dispute with the Common Market on poultry ended with a ruling of an independent panel set up by GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) in Novem- ber. Catholic councilar decree since the proclamation of papal infal- libility by the last previous coun- cil 93 years ago, opened the way for the use of modern languages in the Mass and sacraments. Latin had been used since the third century A.D. Progressive Pope Paul's appeal to the bish- ops to clarify their role in church government put him on the side of progressive prelates advocating such a review in the interest of Christian unity. His announcement about a trip to Palestine in January was more than just a travel plan. Implicit in it was a basic deci- sion to promote a relatively new policy of openness in .the Roman Catholic Church, whose pontiffs have spent most of this century as voluntary prisoners in the Vati- can, Accomplishments In terms of specific business, the council's second phase produced far more than the opening des-, sion under Pope John XXIII. Even before the second session opened in September, Pope Paul had set up - a system of council moderators or presiding officers, appointing four cardinals close to him to get the council moving faster. The session also completed de- bate on two topics, dealing with the nature of the church and the work of bishops and diocesan gov- ernment, and the first three chap- ters of a five-chapter document on Christian unity. c alrrn a n waru . a11il - Va) of the rules committee picked up steam yesterday. The White House, civil rights groups and the Democratic lead- ership joined in a campaign to line up support for a petition that would permit the bill to be brought to the House floor. The petition is due to be filed Monday and 218 members-a ma- jority of the 435-member body- must sign it before it can take effect. Breakdown Although a far greater number is believed' to support the bill, many members-including most Republicans-regard discharge pe- titions as a breakdown of orderly procedure and refuse to sign them. At a meeting of House Repub- licans yesterday Republican lead- er Charles A. Halleck (Ind) said he would not sign the petition. So did Rep. William M. McCulloch (R-Ohio) who helped write the civil rights bill as ranking GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee. Fears have been raised that the move may threaten the bill's shaky bipartisan support. The Democratic leadership has resorted to the discharge petition plan because of Smith's refusal to schedule hearings or even say when any nfight be held. Strategy The strategy is/to get as many as 150 Democrats to sign the peti- tion in the first two or three days. If they do,, the leadership feels Republicans cannot withstand the pressure civil rights groups would bring to bear on them for the other 68 signatures. However, Rep. Richard Bolling (D-Mo), a leading House supporter of the civil rights bill, told a group of civil rights leaders yes- terday that even if 218 signatures should be obtained quickly, the chances are that no action will be taken on the bill until January. Urge Passage Meanwhile, a giant civil rights meeting urged Johnson and con- gressional leaders of both parties, to keep the House in session with- out a Christmas recess to pass a civil rights bill this year. The leaders of 80 national church, labor, racial and political organizations pledged a massive drive to drum up nationwide sup- port of this effort. And their statement, approved by 200 delegates attending the day-long conference, pledged "un- swerving support" to congressmen prepared to sign a petition requir- ed to force the rights measure out of the House Rules Committee for- a vote. top of a statement earlier by Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), chairman of the finance committee, saying it is entirely possible the committee will reach some decisions on the bill before Christmas. Plea for Actionj Taken together, the statements by Dirksen and Byrd seemed to hint at a stepped-up pace on the $11-billion tax cut measure in response to Johnson's plea last week for quick action. But Dirksen stressed that this does not neces- sarily mean the Senate will act during January. Before going to the White House, Dirksen had predicted that the bill might reach the White House-after Senate floor action and a Senate-House conference- around March 1. After breakfast with the President, Dirksen told newsmen he had told Johnson he "thought I could assure him that there will be a tax bill next year and that it will be retroactive." Byrd and others have opposed cutting taxes without_ matching cuts in federal spending. They have indicated they want to see next year's budget' proposals, which will be submitted in Jan- uary, before voting on a tax bill. 'Good Talk' Dirksen said he had "a very considerable discussion" w i t h Johnson on the budget. But the senator declined to give newsmen any estimate of its size. The finance committee plans to conclude its lengthy hearing on the tax bill by the end of this week or early next week. Dirksen said he told Johnson this may permit the group to consider some amendments to the measure before Congress begins its Christmas re- cess on Dec. 20. O'Brien Calls For Revision Of Constitution By The Associated Press LANSING-Rep. E. D. O'Brien (D-Detroit) yesterday launched a campaign among House members for a special election next spring to revise parts of the new state constitution which takes effect Jan. 1. The goal of the article-by-article study of the constitution is bipar- tisan agreement on non-controver- sial changes. O'Brien is head of a constitutional revision commit- tee of House Democrats. His campaign began yesterday with a preliminary meeting of in- tereste House Democrats. "But I will broaden it later to include Republican members," he said. O'Brien would like to delete one clause which requires the fund- ing each year of public employe pension liabilities incurred that year. He contends the idea will in- volve an annual multi-million dol- lar cost. O'Brien also objects to a state- ment in the new state constitu- tion's bill of rights that the Leg- islature shall implement civil rights guarantees. He contends the language should state a basic prin- ciple and not require implementa- tion. By The Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore .-The death rate among a large group of cig- aret smokers during a period of nearly three years was more than twice as high as among a similar group of non-smokers, an Ameri- can Cancer Society expert said yesterday. Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond, direc- tor of the society's statistical re- search, reported new evidence in the relationship of cigaret smok- ing to death and disease in a paper delivered at the American Medical Association's 17th clinical meeting. Matching 36,975 men over 40 who smoked a pack of cigarets or more a day with the same num- ber of non-smokers, Hammond, said 1,385 of the smokers died' during the 34 month period of the study. Only 662 non-smokersdied. "virtually innocuous" because these smokers seldom inhale. Hammond said the death rate of smokers who did not inhale was 1.64 times as high as the death rate of non-smokers, but this figure rose to 2.22 for smok- ers who inhaled deeply. The rela- tionship between rates and degree of inhalation increased with age. Supports Program Supporting the cancer society's teenage smoking program, Ham- mond reported that the earlier smoking is started, the greater the daily consumption and the deeper the inhaling. Among the men aged 40 to 49, Hammond said the death rate of those who began smoking before GERMAN HOURO from 7-8 P.M. WAAM Radio 1600 on your dial / Ratios ALDO MORO ... new premier Italy Names New Cabinet ROME toP-Italy got a new left- leaning government yesterday, making Catholic Christian Demo- crats and Socialists cabinet part- ners for the first time since 1947. Christian Democrat leader Aldo Moro wound up nearly a month of bitter negotiations by telling President Antonio Segni he would serve as premier. Socialist leader Pietro Nenni was named deputy premier in the 26-member cabinet. Moro's government is based on a four-party accord expressing loyalty to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in foreign policy and providing economic planning in domestic policy. The accord also allows the gov- ernment to participate in studies of a NATO multilateral nuclear force but withholds any commit- ment. Moro was asked by Segni on Nov. 11 to force a government to end the lingering political crisis off by last April's national elec- tion, when the dominant Chris- tian Democrats suffered a setback at the polls and the Communists gained a million new votes. Moro's government, the 25th since the fall of fascism in World War I, also includes the Demo- cratic Socialists and the Republi- cans. r. .1 they were 15 was 1.8 times as high as those who started smoking after 25 and 2.9 times as high as those who never smoked regularly. The report expanded earlier studies by providing data on men under 50 and over 70. Hammond noted that the cig- aret-lung cancer relationship4in- creased with age. In the 40-69 age group, the lung cancer death rate was 7.86 times higher among cigaret smokers while in the 70- 89 age group the ratio went up to 19.07. He said lung cancer deaths were "considerably lower" among men who had given up smoking for several years than among those who continued to smoke. -- ----" Of the cigaret smokers, 110 died of lung cancer while only 12 of the non-smokers died of that disease. Coronary artery disease killed 654 smokers and 304 hon-smokers. Each man in one group was matched as closely as possible with a man in the other group as to age, race, size, religion, resi- dence (urban or rural), education, marital -status, drinking habits, nervous tension and other factors. "It is hard to escape the con- clusion that this difference in number of deaths was due to the difference in smoking habits," Dr. Hammond said. Statistics Other statistics in the report showed that: -Fifty per cent more heavy cigaret smokers than non-smokers were hospitalized during a period of two years. -Death rates increase with the degree of inhalation of smoke. -Death rates are highest among men who began to smoke earliest. -Pipe and cigar smoking are House Denies .ROTC .design For Expansion By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-The House re- fused Tuesday to pass a Reserve Officers' Training Corps bill that had no ban on racial segregation. This does not automatically kill the bill. Rep. P. Edward Herbert (D-La), who introduced the meas- ure has the right to ask the rules committee to allow it to come before the House under its regular procedures. After the vote, how- ever, Herbert said he would not try to bring up the bill again. Rep. Otis Pike (D-NY) com- plained that Hebert had brought up the bill under procedures that made it impossible for congress- men to amend it. Pike wanted an amendment that would halt ROTC funds to any school that refused admission to students because of their race or color. The bill itself would expand and revise the high school and college ROTC programs. But Hebert, chairman of the House Armed Services subcom- mittee, called, up the bill under suspension of the rules. This blocks amendments and permits only 40 minutes of debate. Under this procedure, however, the bill must win a two-thirds vote to pass. It failed on a 176-154 roll call vote, far short of the needed two thirds. The bill would expand junior ROTC from 254 high schools to a maximum of 2000 high schools, and would continue the present four-year ROTC program in col- leges, but allow a two-year pro- gram in those colleges that wish- ed one. It would also increase a scholarship program in colleges and would increase monthly re- tainer pay for all ROTC students from $27 to $50 a month. ,II FREE JAZZ (See ad in today's paper) THE MICHIGAN UNION JAZZ and CIDER featuring the 20-piece U of M JAZZ BAND directed by BRUCE FISHER vocals by SHEILAH BERNSTEIN SATURDAY, DEC.7... 4:00 P.M.
