Bobby Gene Johnson, 23, and his brother, Lewis Ray Johnson, 20, were smiling and appeared in good physical shape. They were reunited with their mother and the eldest brother's wife, both of whom had stood by during rescue operations. "I ought to cry," said Mrs. Lorene Johnson, the mother, "but I'm too happy for tears." Bobby Gene's wife, snuggled in her husband's arms, remained silent.

Wyman, California Democratic chairman, to "embrace or refute" the program endorsed by the Cali fornia Democratic Council at Bakersfield Sunday.

Rep. Bob Wilson of California, chairman of the GOP congressional committee, said the Democratic program proposed abandonment of atomic testing, cancellation of civil defense fallout shelter programs, abolition of the House Committee on Un-American activites and other "ultra liberal" actions. Wilson's statement continued: "The California Democratic Council has proposed programs which I sincerely believe would be detrimental to the future security of the United States. I believe Chairman Wyman owes the people of California a direct, unequivocal statement as to whether or not his State Democratic Central Committee endorses these programs as representative of the Democratic Party. "Since these proposals are seriously enough out of step with what we Republicans believe to be a wise future course for our country, I hope Mr.

Wyman will either embrace or refute them so we will have no doubt where he and his party stand." vWilson said he would not be satisfied with a "there's room in the Democratic Party for all views" type of answer. "What we want t6 know," he said, "is whether there is room in the Democratic Party for people who want to disarm, im mobilize and throw America open to subversion." Milton Friedman of the i Hospital for Bone and Joint Diseases, New York. Friedman led a symposium highlighting the four-day annual meeting. Pre-operative radiation destroys some cancer cells, devitalizes others so they are less able to take root elsewhere in the body, and shrinks the tumor, Friedman noted. X-ray treatment may shrink a toungue cancer that has grown around the carotid artery, for example.

Dr. Friedman said. It may pull the tumor away from the vital neck artery so that a surgeon can remove the growth, he added. Dr. Fernando G.

Bloedorn, a leader in the use of preoperative radiation for lung cancer, discussed 152 cases treated since 1956 at the University of Maryland Hospitals, Baltimore. Dr. Bloedorn and his colleagues used sublethal X-ray doeses 5,500 to 6,000 roentgens on patients whose chests had been opened, then closed when surgeons decided the cancers were too far advanced for removal. Two months later, after radiation therapy, their chests were reopened and the shrunken tumors removed. Twenty per cent of these once inopoerable cases have survived as cases that were operable on the first attempt.

The radiotherapist was quick tQ say that the cases don't prove pre-operative radiation with surgery is better than surgery alone. "But pre-operative radiation probably reduces spread of cancer cells through the body," he asserted, "and can make on operable patients operable in a high percentage of cases."

Transit Bill Vote Nears; OK Predicted WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate today turned down another states' rights amendment to President Kennedy's $500 million mass transit bill and administration leaders predicted passage of the bill. The Senate met early for the third straight day on the transit bill, first major New Frontier measure to face a showdown in the new Congress. After voting down the amending attempt by Sen. John G. Tower, however, the Senate suspended further votes so members who have.daughters in the Cherry Blossom Festival could watch today's activities.

Tower's proposed amendment, defeated 57-41, was aimed at making sure no state laws were violated when the Federal Government stepped in to protect collective bargaining rights of transit workers affected by the bill. Labor leaders agreed last night to support the bill after sponsors worked out an amendment protecting the labor rights. 1,200 Steel workers Off Kaiser Jobs NEWARK, Ohio 1,200 United Steelworker Union members remained away from their jobs today at the Kaiser aluminum plant here.
