Lnn" cancer ha= aroused the greatest public and governmental in-
tere_t. The most common types affect males five or six titnes more
often than females. No theorc of causation known has adequatelr
ezrlained this striking sex diBerence.
`1'utnen, whether they smoke or not, are less"susceptible. It is doubt-
ful that notable benefit could be anticipated in preventing lung cancer
anio::= women by any present public health program.
Among men. vrho are relattvelc more likel. to develop lung cancer.
onlv a small number of even heacy cigareite smokers are fouwid to
ha~F canoer. This association does not constitute causation. Of the totnl
population most heacil. exposed only a small minority su'.ryroup
is affected, and .ncy is tinltaoRn. Lung canoer does not occLr :.: tl,e
great majority of eitlter moderate or heavy smokers. Statistical cou:-
pnri~ons het~ceen smokers and nonsmokers are difficult to make Rit.hout
~ntroducing two serious types of scientific bias: (1) people self-select
RhPther to smoke or not. and the populations studied thus are not
randoin: (2) no mathematics exists for statistical comparisons of
nanra»dom or selected populations. -
Medicnllc trained pathologists would not employ death certificate
dlapl~o;es. unconftmed bc a study of tissues grossly and microicopi-
calic at surgerT or autops;c, in sucb investigations. T)ie overall autopsy
rate in the United States is below 10 percent, and without supporttng
data there are too many death certificate errors in distinguishing
betT, een primary lung cancer and secondary spread to the lung of
orhp- cancers, among a number of difficulties in the scientific use of
<1o^tlt PertlFlCat".
L.ti,{ cancer is of various tcpes, and several have no implied rela-
ticaahtp to any envirotunental-agent. It is a gross ovenimpltfication to
1umr together at leact nine different tumor types and ascribe them all
to nnc agent. including cigarettes.
Afier at least 30 ,reatrs of experimental ~ork, and many snoke
inl~alation experiments in animals. lung cancers of the most common.
sqn:iuious cell human type have not been prodtked. It is usuallp difficult
to prove a negat i~e, but if cigarette smoke was a cause of lung cancer. it
is tndeed surprising tltat no animal experiments have succeeded in its
procluction. Skin painting studies are scarcely relecant to the lung.
`!ntr stud}- is urgentlr tueded of what other factors, such as ~iruse,.
urban air pollutants and degenerati.e changes contribute to lung
cancerderelopment in animals and rnan.
\Iedical fashions change: for ezample.30 years ago authoritie: con-
sidered tuberculosis the most common cause of lung cancer. It is also
well to mention that understanding the formation of lung cnncers is
one of the most complex and di.fficult problems in cancer research. not
pre:e:a:r well understood and not yielding simple answers.
A second even more serious medical problem is cardiovascular dis-
eace. !:inre it causes about half the tot.al deaths in the United States and
ocerall affrcts lnnFe.iry more than lung camcer. Again, it attacks
mi,lule-aged male.c more often than females, for unknown reasons.
In respect to smoking as a possible cause or contributing factor. newer
multifnctorial statistical studies also point to a farnily history of heart
disease. diet. blood choleeterol. body weight and 6lood pi*csure as
independent predictive factors. Rhich in various combinations are

including smoking is not a cause. A number of studies show no rela: i~::
of smoking to.heart disease and ought not be ignored. Aging ar:i
eoronary arteriosclerosis, of course, overshadow other processe; ti.a:
contribute to the most common t~-pe of heart disease.
Another difficulty with coronarf heart disease concerne hot- a :
rately the diagnosis is made. When the most adcanced clinical tr_.=
are employed, evidence for coronary disease is found in almost i:a::
of all men over 40 years. By this age racticalir all the coro::;,:-
arteries show some pathologic lesions. ?ince both coronary and cigarette smoking are so common in
the L".S. male porul: t: .::.
it is quite difficult to find adequate numbers of people for compar._-:.
.cho have neither, or only one of these eonditions. A well-known sta--
tical fallacy is likely to exist when groups of such unequal size a~e
compared.
Emphysema has now been added to the list of diseases blamed c::
cigarette smolnng. The newest medical publications and gorernnien: a;
reports emphasize how difficult are the diagnosis, the classificatior..
and thegr ading of severity of pulmonary emphysema, even amo:-.:
tzperts. The cause admittedlr is tuilrnoern. One cotnmon form de-
velops in every person with age, and lumping several types as if cLe
comprised an entity is tutRarranted. Thus. death certifricate diagnose-
_
or a routine pathologic diagnosis of emphcse.ma at present are =ci-
enti6callv practically useless, except in a few specialized research
centers. In the current era of relattre ignorance concerning how tc
define and recogniae emphysema and other chronic lung disease:. no
sweeping generalizations as to causation can be justified.
In reneRing above a few selected discrepancies. d:fficultiee.
oomings, and unsolved problerps in the field of smoking and hea!t:..
there is no .cish to denigrate the concentrated efforts made by
workers to find ansRers. It is simply that the field is too neR. ;..~
techniques still being developed, and the conclusive proofs no; .~at
in. It is less than 40 years since lung surgery began, for essn:, 'e.
A few items in the testimony of others may justify commen:. Tae
Surgeon General compared inability to deaionstrate the formatio::
of lung eancers i.nerpe rimental animals exposed to smoke Ricl; lac::
of experimental production of leprosy. However, leprosy has been
produced in animals.
Some confusion arose through use of the word "addiction" in co::-
nection with tobacco use. Bfge nerallv accepted WHO criteria, sn;os-
ing tobacco is not considered an addiction.
Dr. Williams of the lmerican Cancer Societv stated that a ph~s:-
cian looking at a slide of lung cancer without utformation could tell
in some detail about t,hepa rient'a social life, cigarette smoking for
some 20 Tears, and so fort~h. On the basis of znv dailv experience as
a pathologist. when one looks at a slide of lung cancer neitlier a
pathologtst nor other physicians can tell whether it is from a n:a::
or .roman, and thus eannot accurately describe the social life. Fu--
ther, it is not possible grosslc or microscopicalls, or in any o::,er
.vas known to me, to d~atunguiah between the lung of a smoker or
a nonsmoker. Blackening of lungs is from carbon particles, and smoe-
tobacco does not introduce carbon particles into the lung. Ti,e
Icational value of the various specimens shown the committee in
this situation escapes me.

As to coronary heart disease, a spokennan quoted the dean of \fount
Sinai Ifedical School to the effect that the relation of cigarette smok-
ing is as firmlc established as the tbenpeutic use of anticoagulants for
treating myocardial infarction. A recent publication from 2 ale \lydi-
cal School anahzes the use of anticoagulants and concludes that the
studies are not .rell enough designed to draw any useful conclusioi;=.
These are cited as overstatements or misst.tements of medical 1-noRl-
ed~e made by some .~itnesses.
The 3,4-benzpyrene is not proTed to be responsible for human lung
cancer, and consequentlc its amount or the removal of it can scarcel.be considered at present
crucial scientific matters.
Cigarette sniokin is not a unique health hazard, as claimed L-y
Chairman Hvde of fCC. As Dr. F.ot,in pointed out, no mystical prop-
erties are attributable to cigarettes. Scientifically, cigarette smok;ng
has not been proced to be a health hazard at all.
1fany figures were cited concerning 30,000 or 50,000, or 260,000 per-
sons per cenr having or dying from ]ung cancer or the other diseases
being considered. Since it ts not known what the causes of lung cancer,
coronary beart disease,or bronchopulmonar~ disease are, the multipli-
cation of numbers does 'not contribute to tmderstandinF them any
better. One recent article on the millions of persons reported to ha,~e
one of a long list of diseases concludes that there must be scarcely- any
healthy people left-
KoR to review briefly the specific areas of deficient knowledge and
the research needed for better understanding of the major diseases
claimed to be associated with cigarette smoking.
As conoerru lung cancer, multifactorial statistical techniques are
now in use epidemiologically, and they Snav be expected to provide
quantit.ative estimates of the relatiTe statistical importance of urban
residence, occupation. lung infection, and inherited tendencies amor.g
other possible factors, including cigarettes. We strive for a better
ajgreement on the classification of so-called ptr,cancerous lung condi-
tions and cancers. and this is slowly being achieved, partlc by inter-
national cooperation through WHO. Techniques to study ~-iruses, in-
cluding chronic cirus infections, are now becoming more widely
applicable. The predominance of males with lung cancer and tlie
ecidence thnt men who hace lung cancer are endocrinologically ab-
normRl aln deserves more study.
In animal e:periments, a suit.able lung bioassac model for inhalation
studies is earnestly sought and technical adcances mar be achieved
within the next oear. New techniques of histologic, bistochemical and
biochemical studc need wider application, and pathologists will need
help to apply theae special methods more widely both to human and
animal maurial. E:posures to both the gas phase and particulate
phase of cigarette smoke must be designed so that the chemical resc-
tions at particular sites in the lung may be understood. Doses and re
lated responses must be evaluated. Although hitherto not found, an
animal model trystem for producing lung cancers like the common hu-
man types st ill needs to be eought.
In reference to cardiocascular diseases, additional multifactorial
statistical analyses and pathologic studies are needed. We will endeavor
to determine iccuratelc whether arteriosclerosis of the eoronarc ar-
teries and aorta differs in its development or quality or in quintitc

between smokers and honsmokers. The.et3ects of smoking on blood
clotting and clot dissolution are high priority sub)-ects for study.
Coronary blood flow can now be analvzed overall and the nutritional
flow measured as well. This makes feasible studies concerning both
the possible acute and chronic effects of smoking, in persons with
and without evidence of coronary disease. Myocardial metabolism,
abnormal muscle proteins and carbon monoxide et3ects all need further
study. Vasomotor activity and cardiac catecholamines like adrenalin
are of currently greater interest. Cardiac reactions differ with age,
and these diSerences need to be better understood.
Chronic pulmonary diseases, such as bronchitis and emphysema,
are rather poorly unaerstood. Further development of both the clini-
cal and laborators techniques for their recognition is a pressing prob-
lem, and a.ride educational program concerning the present ad~anced
methods available should be undertaken. Onlr then can standardiza-
tion of diagnoses and scientific anal~ses be possible. The relations of
chronic lung diseases to repeated or persistent bacterial and viral in-
fections, aging, particulate and nonparticulate inhaled irritantF,
changes in the bronchial secretion~ and to immune reactions of lung
are all Raitin exploration in detail. Pulmonary function studfes over
long periods ~roro adolescence on are badly needed. Vasomotor and
catecholamine reactions of lung are of incre,asing importance. Bron-
chiolar disease is an emerging entity of great interest and complexity.
Animal models are urgeat.Ic needed tn these fields.
This rerieR leaves unttientioned many area= where knowledge is
equallc lncking. and other diseases clnimed to be
smol-iing that are either rarer or with an even mor* tenuous relati-ir:-
ship. The needs for research are Mat. perhaps esceeding the prezer.r
number of qualified investigators and tpeir arailable time. Cooperative
efforts by the Gocernment, private foundations and public charital.'e
organizations are hoped for and necessarc in these tmport,ant health
fields.
We all want better health for the public. Chronic disea.:es like thn=e
discussed above decelop over long periods and they do not havP ti:c
simple cause-and-effect relations Pasteur and others found in certain
bacterial diseases. Simple solutions of these complex medical probleni=
mny be hoped for but they are scarcely to be expected. Tension i= a

imrortnnt daily professional actiriti~. Smol-in:. 7ike alcohol n, %i
cheRing gum or tobacco, is widely used to relax tencion. Ph}sician;

Considerable time, effort and moneyare being expended now and
more isbeing budgeted for bture inrestigntions in the field of ~tnokiij_
and health, by the AAL4-ERF and the Council for Tobacco Re.=ear.-b
amorg other organizations. This reflects a growing 8eld of heart nr,,l
lua research. If the answers .rere for practtcal purposes alreadv :it

The subcommittee was appointed, of which I am a member. It has
met on several occasions since then.
K'e are hopeful that in a month or so .ce will have a ring1e docu-
ment that will reflect the combined feelings of the National Institutes
of Health, the National Cancer Institute, the AMA Research Foun-
dation and the Council of Tobacco Research Scientific Advisory
Board as to the deficiencies in knowledge in this field and the order of
priorities that one or more of theae groups will give.
I very much hope we will get such a documenL I think it will be
belpful to all of us in the next 5 years or so.
Mr. Cs~. Realiution has dawned upon many of these people
that there are many gaps in the causation of lung cancer, is that
true t
Dr. SouxEas. Yes, sir.
If r. C.xm. Are you acquainted with, and have you had any asso-
ciation with, any members of the Surgeon General's Adcisor~ Com-
mittee which issued its report in 19641
Dr. Soxnna. Yes, sir. Professor Fieser, organic chemistry, taught
me chemistry in college. I have known him for over 30 years.
Dr. Emanuel Farber and I are friends and belong to a club together,
a scientific club. '
I worked for Dr. Jabob Furth as his executive officer at Delafield
Hospital for fire years, so I saw him every day.
,. Dr. Furth is awonderffiil man. He and Dr. Farber areexperimental
patbologists. Their interest is in animal e:perimental models of dif-
ferent diseases.
I was very impressed with the committee and with the scientific re-
port of the committee in 1964. As a matter of fact, I helped Dr. Furth
to rewrite part of it because being originally Hungarian he bad some
feeling hisnglish wasn't as good as it mi$ht be, but, in fact, it is verr
So I was impressed. Then I read the report and I realized what had
happened. They had simply done a selective recieR of the literature.
They had not invest.igat,ed all aspects. The report simply didn't corer
the entire field, in my opinion. It was a disappointmenf.
Mr. C.>tTuL It was a disappointment i
Dr. SoxxrRS. It was a disappotntment; yea.
Mr. C..:rrx. It was not accurate as you see it, and did not corer all
aspectst
Dr. Souxtias. It is not, sir, that it was inaccurate. It Ras selective
and it, so to speak, .rasn't guite equally Reighted on both sides.
Mr. C.xt~a. It contained manvgaps, then 1
Dr. Soxiruta. Yes, sir; manv aefictencies.
Mr. CNrrcx. I notioed vou mentioned primary ca. of the lung and
also the secondary ca. of t}ie lung.
According to tbe mortslitc tables which I hare, 21.000 people hed
primary ca. of the lung last year, and aecondarf ca. of the lung Ras
about the same.
Secondary ca. of the lung may be due and often is due to problems
from other parts of the bodS, is that not trueT
Dr. Souxr.xs. Yes, sir. In one study, 25 percent of the cases thought
to be primary lung cancer at autopsy turned out to be secondary
carcinoma.

Dr. Sonuners, I have been impressed with your testimony. You hare
quite a background. You are research director for the Council of To-
bacco Research, but I still must say that you have made some rerT
strong statements that are in contradictton to the majority of the
people who have testified here before this committee.
Do ~ou have any recotnmendations for this committee with tr=~~ect
to th~ problem facing us so far as the course of our le_islative ar.-
proach is ooncerned t
Dr. coxxraes. I would answer you as a physic:an. I beliere that the

in and health.
I don't believe that individuals or the Government should eo beyond
srhat is proved in campaigns of any kind in the health field.
I somewhat regret, as a cittzen..that that labeling became a laR
becattse it seemed to me somewhat discriminatory.
From mc own experience in reading. I would have thouglit that
private airplane., would need to be called possibly hazardous to yot:-
health. I read of young businessmen and their families almost every

week killed in small plane crashes. biotorcccles
\Ir. Ptcst.z. Doctor, with all due respect. I want to challenge your
stntement. Of course they can be dangerous. But that is not to the poin;
of ottr henrin'-. really, in my opinion.
Dr. SouxcRC. Pardon me, sir.
Mr. Pjcsi.E. Your testimony is that you think the present labelir:
ir ntfficient. This is in strong opposition to the cerr heavy preponder-
anee of evidence submittPd to this oommittee.
CometSmpe. I wonder if we on the committee are cnnfuced. R"hn-r,
do we belierPl Which Ray do.re go4 I.ronder if we should not hace
an investigation of the investigators to try to find some facts of our
own.
Meanwhile. we are faced with the proposition that we are either
going to renew the law that we hare on the books noa, and take no
action, let the FCC probably ban all advertisement, or we are going to
increase the Rarning.
It seems to me that we have such a hearv amount of evidence that
the Rarning should be increased that that is the proper approach.

Dr. Sosncr.ua. Sir, I am an individual. I am not really a spokesman

Dir. EcsaaxnT. Tbank you, bir. Chairman.
Doctor, I notice on page 4 ofyour statement you state that a number
of studies showed no relation of smoking to heart disease, and that
these ought not be ignored.
Can you give me any of those studies t
Dr. $oxat.z:xs. Yes, sir. Aside from the general understanding that
angina pectoris has no relation to cigarette smoking, there have been
reports on twins in Scandana.-ia (Lundman. Acta Jied, Scandi, 1966,
Supp. 455). He used twins in which one member smoked and the other
didn't, and he could find no difference attributable to smoking and
believed that constitutional factors.rere more important.
Mr. EcsxAxaT. With respect to coronary heart disease?
Dr. So>zxcas. Yes, sir.
A study by Johnson. et al., American Journal of Public Health,
1968, found in survivors of the Hiroshima atom bomb explosion that
the proportion of men .rho smoked was smaller in people with cnro-
narr heart disease than the nonsmokers.
There were more nonsmokers in Hiroshima that had coronarv heart
di=ease. -
?kir. EcsxAnnr. These were persons subjected to the bomb ezplosion ?
Dr. SoustsA. Yes. sir. Ther are being studied in a variety of ways.
An article bc Bruhn, et al., Social Science and Medicine, 196S. ~Ie
studied the poliulation of \azareth. Pa. In the men he could determir.e
no effect of smoking on the presence of coronary disease.
Then there is an article by Brown, et al., Journal American Geri-
atrics Society. 1007. t-olume-15. TlieF studied individuals at the \-et-
eran=' Administrntion Hospital in Portland, Oreg.. and they included
both smokers and nonsmokers. These people were chosen because thec
had nhsence of coronarv disease.
There were quite a number of smokers. with manc rear of smoking,
and they showed no evidence of coronarv disease. These are some of the
Ftudies in which there has been no correlation.
Mr. Ecsx.+r.nr. And there are a number of studies that do show a
correlation; is that not correct?
Dr. Svv>ttrs. 1'es, sir.
?tlr. Ect;xAnnr. Do cou have them convenient?
Dr. Soaturr:s. Yes. 7he important ones are Hammond, two studie`,
for the American Cancer Society; Doll and Hill, and their publica-

Mr. EcsxannT. That was the British Medical Journal?
Dr. Soxxctia. Yes, sir.
Then there is a Canadian study on pension recipients. That is Best

Journal in 1965, volume 96.

Mr. Ecztiwanr. Then there is a study by Jenkins, et al., that was in
troduced here.
And that, incidentallc, rather impresses me in that that study broke
do.~n rarious factors that u ou referred to as being contributorS factors
to heart diseise. '
It used cholesterol, beta alpha, cvatolic BP, diastolic BP, phrsical
activit}, amount of exerci.se, incomelerel, all of the above trigl~rceride_.
and then made a separate study xith respect to some beharioral
patterns.
In all of these cases, the study came to the remarkably similar con-
clusion, particularly in the age groups of 39 and 49, that heavv sniok-
ers had about three times the incidence of coronary heart disease as
nonsmokers.
Do rou know of any studies that similarly used clinical obcer~a-
tion~-l gather this was from 1.000 persons actuallc examined-do
you know of anr study that similarly attempted to break doRn or
to correct for tlie sarious contributoic factors. and established the
stati=tics on the basis of that correction?'
Dr. Soxxnta. I know of some in progress. I don't know if you cited
the Britain study which has beensroing on for years. One of their
reports is Truett et al., Journal of Cluonic Disease. 196' , rolume3~~.
Tiier found seven risk factors, for example.
\lr.*Ecxxaxar. From all of your considerations of these studies. do
you not believe that there i!t at least a statistical relationship between
hearr smoking and coronary heart disease 4
Dr. SoanrExs. Yes. I befiere there is a statistical relationship in
several populations. There are other populations in which there does
not seem to be a statistical relationshir. some of which I cited.
So the explanation would be that. ,o. 1, cigarettes are the cau=sl
factor in the relationship.
No. 2. both the heart disease and the smoking reflect a third factor.
ar.d. No. 3, that the statistical correlation is actuallr a chance findin:.
Of those three, from my own work I beltere that the second is most
likelc.
T}iat is, that smoking and coronary disease are two reflections of a
certain type of individual. A person has been described in various war_.
T~pe A is one description. A person who lives in overdrive is another
de~cription.
Here we hare..ou see. a susceptible sytbpopulntion.
\!r. EcasAnns. But do ron not recall thnt in the ,Tenkins studv. both
those who seem susceptible to smoking and to coronarr heart ili-eace
because of their inclinations. both thote Rho "m cuscePtible and those
.cho did not seem tobe succeptible. seemed to hare had an eqnal increase
with respect to the incidence of heart disease if thec were smoker=.
I think in both cases smoking heavily resulted in about three times
the incidence of heart disease in both tRoups.
Dr. Somxns. You ree..rhat is b~ther~ome to me alxmt the stn-
tistical relationships. ie that, in a sense, if thec converge they infer
a caurative relationship. But statistics can tiecer demonstrate the
causative relationship.

be an ticcurate statement to sac that in men under $0, hear< cigarene
smokers have a higher incidence of heart disease than nonsmokers ?
Dr. Somies. I.vould have to ask which men, because in a group
of farmers reported by Morris (Canad. Med. Assoc. J., 196'. volume
96) it appeared that their farming protected them from any e9ect:
that might have been due to cigarettes.
In the American Indian population it was not proved. So I would
have to 1rnoR which population.
Mr. Ecssuxm. We aught say Japanese-!1.mericans Roultl l,r le==

Dr. Sommr.ns. That is correct. I cannot tell the di$ererice.
Mr. Pssrrx Is that the general feeling of most pathologistsY
Dr. So. Sir, it is my belief that the knowledge of what the
black pigment represeata, namel% Urbon particles or coal dust, is
1-noRn to every well trained aeeondyear medical student, and that it
is not possible to equate blackening of the lung to exposure to tobacco
products
lt is simply from the exposure to urban tir in general or, in the case
of coal mineL, in their work tbeT inhale the coal dust particles.
Mr. Px.zrm So that you 8rtl1~ challenge Dr. tit'illiams of the Ameri-
can Cancer Societi on that statement?
Dr. Soxxr.a-s. fhat, in my opinion, is misinformation, sir-from
looking at a slide of lung canoer, that a physician, he didn't sav a
pathologist, can tell something accuratels about the social life of the
patient.
Une cannot tell anyt.hing beyond the fact that it is a cancer, and I
believe you can tell it is a humuu-being. That is about as far as 1
oould go.
Mr. PxErEa. Tou mentioned that the Surgeon General testified here
that he gave as an example of the inability to du plicate human diseases
in experimental animals the case of leprosy, which he said could not
be introduced in ezperimental animals.
You say that it has been produced t
Dr. Jouuexs. 1 es, sir. Dr. Binford, who actually works for the
Government demonstrated it some 5 years ago and he received a
prize from tbe American Society of Clinical Pathologists for thi-.
I am surprised that the Surgeon General had not know-n of this.
INir. Prui-uc. Generall-. speaking, is it t,tve that cou can duplicate
must human diseaseb in e:perimental animals or tiot ?
Dr. Soxxzas. Well, sir, it varies. Certain ba.cterial and viral diseases
can be duplicated. Certain degenerative dise,ueK can be duplicated.
OthPr de~enerative diseases are more difGcult to duplicate, for example,
arteriosclerosis is more difficult to produce.
There are some diseases which are,1 t.hink, not found in animal: but
only in human beingz.
Mr. Pntrtn. What 1was getting at wns how iuiponnnt is it to you
as a cientist that we had been unable to dttplicate lung cancer, for
exar..ple. in animals?
Dr. Soxxr.rs. To me it is very important that we keep trying. Next
month there are three new ttmoking machines going to be examined
nnd compared. We must try to do our utmost to get an experimental
modEl that corresponds to the common type of human lunr cancer.
There are several reasons for that. Oiie is that we p-ill hace snnie
aclva ntage then toward bioassay. I'ntil you have an adequate ezperi
tnental model it is awfullv hatd to take out various components of
mixture and drptonstrate a change in the effect.
A1~o. it is hard to analyze the chemistry that goes on in the tissue
whrre there is some daniagc. Those are tRO reasons. There are a nuiu
ber of other reasons.

which ustn~ of snuff has been claimed to show a statistical relatiwn:i~a.

Dir. Bxonue.,c. I hace no questions.
The Cxen:u.r. Mr. VS'atson t
Mr. W.rsoN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Sommers, I am sorry I was not here to bear cour testimor:c.
but I did hastily read through your prepared statement.
I, to, a.s others, am in a state of confusion with all of the conP.ict::::
not only compctent but outstanding medical testimony.
It just defies my understanding as a la~-man as to how we could
hare someone as Dr. Williams come in and saf even the genera' Prac-
titioner--at least that is the assumption I got from him-co::':J tE.:
the difference between a smoker atld a non-smoker bc look:n~ a: 1::;
lungs.
Here cou are, an eminent pathologist, and you say there is abso?;ae;7
no RSC of doing that.
Dr. SoxitEns. I cannot do so, sir. It is doubtful to me how one
could arrive at that conclusion. A.tt erperiment could be set up te, tes:
whether any pathologist in the country could do this.
That is tfie only way I know of getting scientific proof of -
or not it is possible.
A witness cesterdae (Dr. Zeidman) stated be thought thar r4''~z r.,::
of 1,0tt0 patTiologists could not tell, and the two who could hrtd =ro..-
divine $tutdance or something else in their facor.
In some of these earlc lung cancer changes reported by one Ror:;~:.
a panel of 12 other pathologists who were LnoRledgeable in the ne;c
could not confirm his findinfts.
So that was an ezperiment and it came out 12 to 1 aperainst t:.e
ability to pick up early changes that are supposed to be smoke-re',a;i-d
in thc bronchi.
'.%ir. Wersox. That is a distressing fact. that we bare the Amer:
people who are primarily being fed the other side of the picture. To::
know that.
Your vieRpoint probably wouldn't get beyond the Ra11= of tl:a
hearing room, or not very iar beFond that.

IHIS DOCUME.NT SUBJECT TO
1103 CMDENTIAUTY AGREEMENT.
You conclude that the blackening of lungs, or black lungs, as they
call it, is the result of the inhalation of carbon particles, and you sat
tbat smoking tobacco does not introduce such carbon particles.
I believe it was the doctor who gave us the risva7 demonstration
hem,.rho happened to practice in a coal region of Illinois, so perhaps
that might have something to do with it.
I believe there is one tbing that all drictors and eversbodc else
is agreed on medically, that Tou hare never produced lung cancer
through the inhalation of smoke in the lungs.
We all agree, the Surgeon General utd everybody else.
Dr. SoxmT.Rs. Yes.
Mr. «'.rsox. Of course, the public has a different idea because of
all of the reports that hare gone out. But you have never produced it.
Dr. Sozrxrxs. That is correct.
Mr. WATSON. You hare spent how many millions of dollars, do you
estimate, in trying to produce lung cancer through the inhalatiori of
smole P
Dr. Soitxr.rts. I personally could not answer that question. I would
guess it is somewhere in e:cxss of $b million or $10 million.
Mr. «.rsox. R'hen the Americau Tobacco Council ave this 510
million to the AhL~i for research in this particular fielgd, were there
an strings atuched to it, so far as you 1rnoR g
Lr. SoYaaats. Not to my knowledge. They were free to use the money
as they saw St.
Mr. WATSON. As I stated yesterday, I observed that apparently sotne
had concluded on a.~ern s~a~ statistical basis that we have found
the panacea, we have found the cure-all now. We hare this dragon
and we are going to stop it.
There is going to be a decrease in the research in this field.
I know one of the laboratorT scientists yesterday was apprebensiee
about that.. I know the Arnerican Tobacco Instiiute has committed
$10 million to the AMA. They hare pledged another SS million.
Do you happen to know boR much the Cancer Society is spending
in tbis-field, in this particular field of research 3
~
Dr. Soxattxs. No, sir, I do not know.
Mr. WATSON. I think it might be interesting to find out. Certsinl..
I am not faulting them. I hnre served as a county chairman for ti1e
Cancer Society at~d I am vitallc concerned in this.
But I am afraid now that perbaps they are backing up and trying to
look for an answer.
You point out again, as I believe Dr. Rigdon of the Zniversitr of
Texas Medical School did, that there has been quite a discrepancy in
the medical profession so far as the diagnosis of the causes of death
and such as that. You confirm that statement.
Dr. Snxstnes. Yes, sir.
Mr. WATSON. Do Tou recall that he pointed out cesterdac that in
1955, I believe in the State of Tetr Torl, ther found out, Rhen per-
forming autopsies, that the causes of death listed on the death certifi-
cates were wrong in more than 50 percent of the cases so far as the
diagnosis of pneumonia t
Dr. "ZoxxErts. Yes, sir.
Mr. WATSON. I~ has been indicated earlier bere that in the state of
the art of the medical profession rerhaps, now that we hare a greater
C `~~ ~°~N 0 14 "r''5o

incidence of lung caneer it is bwause perhaps.ou hare been diagno=ing
it and listin~ it as something else in earlier years but all of a sudden
we have decided aow to accurately diagnosis it as lung cancer.
Thanh you very much. '
The CeAim c.x. Dr. Ctrter.
Mr. CARrrx. Mr. Chairman, someone htzs said something. I believe.
about the .oitnesses who have testified that the cause of fung cancer
has not been proven, about the validity of these people.
I would like to rerie.r just a few of these men who have teFtified
and their qualifications. For instance, we hare had this morning the
statement of Dr. Thomas H. Brem, professor ttnd chairm~n of tl,e
department of medicine, University of Southern California School of
Medicine and Director of Internal Ifedicine Los Angeles Countr-t SC
Medical Center.
And Dr. Sommers. who has so manv, manT teachin_,, conueotion-:
director of laboratories, Lenox Hill I-#ospital, Columbia Cnirersitc.
clinical professor of pathology. University of SouthPrn California :
Cornell IIniversitv Medreal School: Tuftsliedical Center. and so on.
Then .reget to~Dr. Dwayne Carr, professor thoracic sur_er.. 1-ni-
ersitv of Tenneseee. Dr. Langston. professor of surgery. tnicer=irr
of Illinois; president of the American Thoracic Association. Dr. RiF-
don. of the L'niversitc of Tezas, who appeared here yesterday: Dr.
Rosemmnn. assistant cbief, department of medicine nn;d as:ociate di-
rector of the Harobrun Institute for Cardiorascular Diseases.
These are a fe.r.'not all. But manr. manv eminent men throuchottt
t11e Dnited States have testitied contrarr to what has been stare1.
Thanl cou, Mr. Chairman. ~
The CaArnxAx. Are there any further questions9
If not. Doctor, we want to thank you for coming to git-e us the
benefit of oour rieRa.
Dr. So4xcxs. Thank von, sir.
The CaMM.x. At tbis time, if I may, I would like to place into
the record, the ststemeat of Dr.. Clarence Cook Little. and a state-
ment by Dr. Robert C. Hockett, immediately following the testimony
of Dr. 8otnmers.

humility in attempting to solre the problem of cancer causatlorr by research to
flll the ezistlug CaPI. in our knowled`r. I stiU strongly ad.ocate thuse principlcs.
T'our Sears ago I bad the privilege of sirlnt to, the members of Congress a
statement of my interpretation of cancer as a dlsease. At that time I pointed
out the extreme delicacy of Its origin in ao arw of actiHty either .rltDio a molr
'` cule or between molecwles. Tbe danger of allowing tDe groas and cruel clinical
manifestations of the disease in its advanced stages to obscure 1ts estremrlF
I delipte and mtnate origin was also emphasized. TDis situation remains uu
changed. In fact, research in the last four years has deflnitele tndicsted that
the origin of cancer Is a process of extremely minute cellular biologc and biu
chemistry. Such an origin is bound to be complicated for the organization and
re)ationahlp of cellular molecules can be modibed by manp agents to produce
' a single result such as the origin of cancer. Some of those ajents already reco;
t nized are genetic chantiea, gamma Irradiation and certain viruses.
~ I empbasize this dtoatlon again because it Is an unassailable arrument in
' fscor of the continued research which is essential to our understandina of the
'{ oririn of canccr.
The Council's philosophy in studying the possible effects of smoking on human
health has been that the question cannot be adeptutelj desned nor its ansccer
sicen except by intensive study of the diseases tLemselres which )aace been
statisticallc Implicated. Although empDasis in Its program of support of iode
pendent research bas natnrallJ evolved sa the direction of certain fields of
research in which the greater amount of promise for the future appears to
exist, the basic fact sti11 Dolds-tLat It is essential to carry on fundamental
` research in order to understand the complex mecbs.nisms by which each pf the
three groups of chronic disease (cancer, cardiorascnlar disease and chronic
respiratorJ disease) are initiated and encouraged. From the consideration of
~ both the nature of cancer and of the dtuation as a whole, the one answer to
,. the questions srhlch face us all is much more research to sire us much more
{I!1!1! needed knowledge.
How true this Is is sLosn bc the expenditures by both gorernmental and
prirate agencies running into hundreds of mlllions of dollars per year which
are being made to try to determine the various causes of cancer, chronic heart
diseare and chronic respiratorj disease and. if possible, to delay or circumcent
their appearance. These expenditures are increasing rather tLan decreasinF
and tbis indicates clearly that the problems presented by these diseases are
unsolTed and that their canres are still an open question.

expectation that tbey would detelop lung cancers and that tbe responcible sub-
stances fn snioke could then he lsolated and eliminated. But. oeer the cear tbe+r
man,r exl-Prlments ba.e all failed to produce human type lung cancern.
T'be esrer/mental method that did produce an observable result was the
painting of smoke oowders+ateu (tieneralle but erroneously called "t.r~") on
tDP sklns of mice. The multlpilc.tioo of aucb skin painting experiments ha.e bPeo
cbiedf reslwo+Jble for the wide-spread and apMrrntly confldent idea that the
reputed dangers of human ciprette smoking with respect to lung cancer bnir
a/rrady been traced to the amount of "car" in the attwke. I feel that this is not
by any means correct and that a pause to consider some Terc simple and bnsk
fartr will abow the tenoou.ness of the caae.
Wc skepticiaa of the relevance of the skin painting studiea to the human lun;
cancer problem Is based upon llre eerc fttndamental coosidrrationt :
1. Ttit relotirtly enormovt doaopti v+rd in the owintol skin txpcrinirnlt. Cal
culatlons have been made Indicating that a man would bace to rmokr frv.n,
3(t.0(Ki to 150.000 clEarettes a day and Inhale ererc puQ to get such a r1o-Ag
of *'tar" on an equivalent area of bis IunR:
2. Thr prcot difl'rrcnctp brtvete miot and the prinla/n., inNVdina n au. lu
sucePtibility to cancerindacing chemical.. 'Afedioinal salces uvd Ritbout o1
sprtable harm by Lnmans will re.adilc produre akin cancers in mice. NP-nl;P-
rrfist Inde9nitPly the same akin treatments that will produce akin cancers in
mkt in n tcw ~cPek.
8. Di1/'crcncrs Lcttttcn skin at+d Ivng. Council supported eiperimPnre hccr
.bow-n tbev tissues to be far more resistant than the skin. Smoke conden~w~
intrc+duced directly lnto the lunR ba.e not produced cancers. On tbP orl:rr bano1
some strong carcinogenic chemicals will do so if "pl.nned doRn" so tbnt they
remain in contact and are not pufcklc carried away by the cleansin; mechani=uj-
of the lunt: isurb a* mucouf flo.r and the acarenr.r arbite cellel.
4. 6mokt QondtlMatta or "fart" rt isof rpviraiMt to uholr. frCrL. fnOrwnl
.ntol:r. Condennates of smoke collected by pass(nIr smoke through cold traP, at
very lorc temperatures are not equivalent either in phcslcal or chemical rrnl.-
Prties to whole smoke. Both chemical and physical changes occur. svme repidlr.
following the formation of smoke in the bttrninR wne of a cigarette. The!Le
continue to take place in the condensate after collection.
Still furtDer, lt bss been shown that condep sates from pipe. cigar and ciFn-
rette type tobaccos all exert a similar. tboo(rb teeble. activity on thc- skin- of
mice. Yet the statistical incidence of lonR cancer Is very loa eren among pipe
and cigar amoktn wbo report that tbef inhale. It seems clear thet the ef'ert=
of chronic. lona-term tnbalation of wbole. fresb, normal cigarette amoke can
never be realitfcaliy appraised by means of smoke condensate studies.
5. The fiftb point concerning the relevance of mou" skin Paintiar exreriment;
