SMOKERS HAVE FIRM SUPPORTER IN SENATOR ERVIN
NEWSCASTER: The nation's smokers have a firm supporter on
Capitol Hill. He's Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina, which is
a major tobacco state. WINS correspondent Stephen Gary reports
from the Group:W Washington Bureau.
STEPHEN GARY: Senator Sam Ervin has charged the United States
Surgeon General with spraading propaganda on the hazards of cigarette
smoking. The North Carolina Democrat called a news conference to
take issue with advocates of cigarette restrictions and prohibition.
Ervin likened cigarette critics to the forerunners of the prohibition
era of the Thirties. Ervin contends that no proof exists linking
cigarette smoking with lung cancer. He said Surgeon General William
Stewart is as much in the dark about a causual relationship as are
leading doctors around the country.
Ervin called Senator Robert Kennedy a leading prohibitionist.
He challenged a recent Kennedy speech in which the New York Democrat*
asserted that cigarette smoking leads to lung cancer.
Ervin would have the Federal Government channel its efforts into
two main areas. One, finding the cause of cancer and if smoking
is the cause, then developing a safe cigarette.
