Bisenhower took office, and early March. The announcement stated that sixteen of the dismissals were made on the charge that the employees were sexual de- viates. The other five were rated as security risks, Fifteen of the dismissals were made between March 8rd and March 18th. Robert W.S. McLeod became re- sponsible for security matters on March 8rd, and the. dis- missals speeded up as soon as he took office. McLeod is a former F. B. I. agent and a former administrative assist- ant to Senator Styles Bridges, New Hampshire Repub- lean. A State Department officer revealed that all the dismissals were forced, thereby indicating that an effort to rid the State Department of poor security risks is now underway. Of all the departments, the American taxpay- er is perhaps most interested \irt the investigation of State Department personnel since ‘so many accusations against State Department personnel have been made in recent years, Of all government departments, with the exception of the Defense Department, the State Department is the department where security is most vital to the interests of the United States. Therefore the weeding-out process being conducted by McLeod is appropriate and wel- comed, and it is hoped that it will be completely suc- cessful.

Cancer of the lung shows an alarming increase. It kills more than seven times as many people now as it did in| 1933—2,252 then, about 16,660 in 1949, No jone knows what has happened in the last two decades to cause this alarming increase. Some say it may result from @ new substance in our modern industrial civilization. Could indus- trial fumes or automobile gas be at fault? » Lung-cancer is more common in industrial centers and cities than in the country. Some blame it on excessive cigarette smoking over a period of | 20 years or more, pointing to the fact'that it is 10 times more com- mon ‘among men than women. Comparatively few women, they Say; have smoked excessively for 20 years.

Consumers wonder if jobs will stay plentiful and if prices will decline or hold steady.
