Asbestos exposure by itself, they reported yesterday, does not appear to increase the in- cidence of lung cancer among workers who do not smoke. These findings, the research- ers said, confirm studies based on such approaches as reviewing medical records but come from what they describe as the first study they are aware of based on actual lung cancer specimens. The report in the journal Can- cer, a publication of the Ameri- can Cancer Society, was written by two pathologists, Dr. Milton Kannerstein, of the Barnert Memorial Hospital Center in Paterson, N.J., and Dr. Jacob Churg, of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. The incidence of lung cancer among cigarette-smoking asbes- tos workers was 92 times as high than it is for nonsmokers not exposed to asbestos. PARIS ( )-Actress Jane Fon- da says her travels through North Vietnam led her to be- lieve "profoundly that dikes are being bombed on purpose" by American planes. She told a news conference h're Tuesday that she inspected an area 38 miles southeast of Hanoi where U.S. bombs scored a direct hit on an "extremely innortant" dike at the conflu- ence of five rivers. There were no military targets or communi- rations links in the area, she said. The U.S. government has de- nied deliberately bombing the dikes, a tactic that would flood a large area. Fonda produced a film she said she made during her North Vietnam visit July 8-22, which showed two bombed dikes areas. The actress acknowledged she had made daily broadcasts over Hanoi radio aimed at American servicemen. Hut she did not reply directly to questions about a charge by Rep. Fletcher Thom- son R.-Ga), that treason charges should be brought against her. "I did not say what I am accused of saying," she declared, apparently referring to reports she urged troops to disobey orders. In Washington, Rep. William Colmer (D.-Miss), called her trip the act of a misguided woman that could "result in the prolongation of the war.". Fonda's film also showed seven American prisoners of war who she said supported the presidential candidacy of Sen. George McGovern because "they fear if Nixon stays in office they will be prisoners for ever." The prisoners urged their parents and friends to work for the victory of the South Dakota Democrat, the actress said.

SEN. THOMAS EAGLETON mugs a couple of pe ace signs for newspersons as he leaves the La Angeles Century Plaza Hotel after more questioning about his past illness. Democrats rally to Eagleton By The Associated Press Democratic vice presidential nominee Thomas Eagleton re- ceived solid backing from top Democratic leaders, Senate col- leagues and some newspapers yesterday after disclosing he underwent psychiatric care. Only a handful of party back- ers and newspapers demanded he withdraw from the race. "I- am 1,000 per cent for Tom Eagleton and I have no inten- tion of dropping him from the ticket. This is what I said yes- terday and I am repeating it to assure no misunderstanding on my part," said presidential nominee George McGovern in a statement issued from his South Dakota vacation retreat. Eagleton's colleagues in the Senate, including many Repub- licans, quickly declared him to be a sound candidate after he made his disclosure. And some newspapers editorially defended Eagleton's position that he is fit to serve if elected. It was too early to detect whether the disclosure would af- fect McGovern's bid for the White House. Eagleton said he considered his past medicalhproblems as minor. He compared them to "a broken leg or broken arm," adding, "I realize many in the public do not." McGovern aides said the Democratic nominee received about 30 telegrams on the mat- ter with less than two-thirds urging McGovern to dump Eag- leton. One aide also said some big financial backers were ex- pressing concern. Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott urged Eagleton "to WIND Jet streams of air st 30,000 to 40,000 feet high reach velocities of 100 to 300 miles an hour, often speeding eastbound jet- liners across the North Atlantic in an hour less time than west- bound flights. Dentists stumble on new way to fight tooth decay, CHICAGO 1P)-"Dumb luck" enabled two Boston dental re- searchers to discover a com- pound which they say will elim- inate some of the drilling for repair of decayed teeth. This is the view of one of the researchers, Dr. Joseph Kron- man, who, with his codiscoverer, Dr. Melvin Goldman, reported on the research Wednesday. The researchers, on the fac- ulty of the Tufts University school of dental medicine, pre- sented what they termed pre- liminary reports on their work at the national convention of the American Society for Pre- ventive Dentistry. Their compound is known as GK-101, a chemical code name, the letters standing for the initials of the researchers. It has been found to remove most of the decayed matter in badly decayed teeth without the TV & Stereo Rentals $10.00 per month NPOPtEPOSIT FREE DELIVERY.

Goldman said, "Even if future clinical studies validate our clinical impressions, it's not go- ing to take the place of rotary instruments, for the instruments are still necessary for various aspects of cavity preparation." He added, "However, what we are noting here is that GK-101 may substantially reduce the amount of rotary and hand in- strumentation necessary." The researchers would not disclose the ingredients of their compound because of pending patent and legal matters. go on with your campaign." both for the fall campaign and Sen.
