UrffcS Foreign Aid Compromise Is Passed Measure Sent To White House WASHINGTON, July 7 UB-The Senate and House completed action on a compromise $3,285,800,000 foreign aid authorization bill today and sent it to President Eisenhower. Final action on the measure, which is 123 million dollars short of Eisenhower's requests, was sparked by a controversy over De-I fense Department handling of pre-: viously voted military aid funds. Actual funds to carry out the new authorizations must still be approved by both houses, and there may be a move for further cuts then. Goes Along On Cut The Senate at first accepted the $3,408,000,000 authorization sought by the President, but went along with a 145-million-dollar reduction in arms aid funds voted by the House.

i The Senate also accepted a 22-, million-dollar increase in defense, support, funds approved by the House. Originally intended for Spain, this money was not earmarked for any particular country in the final draft. Final Senate approval came on a voice vote. The House then sent the measure to the President on a 262-120 roll call vote. House members of a Senate House conference committee which produced the final version of the bill said the committee members "were shocked at the wholesale reservations reported to have been made in the Defense Department the last few days of the fiscal year in order to 'save' their appropria tions from losses.

Reference To Criticisms This was a reference to criticisms that the department had obligated more than half a million dollars of previously voted arms aid funds June 30, last day of the old fiscal year. ine new dui coniains a provision which would have required the ministration to return to the Treas ury all money in excess of 2001 million dollars which had been previously appropriated but not ob ligated by June 30.

S. newspapers rose to a rocord high in the six months period ended March 31, Editor Publisher magazine said today. The annual Editor Publisher-Audit Bureau of Circulations cross-section study found that Sunday papers also were up slightly over the six-month period ended March 31, 1954.

The magazine also reported that newspaper advertising lineage in 52 cities continued to climb, with further gains in May. Atom Reward Bill Signed WASHINGTON, July 7 Senate today passed and sent to President Eisenhower a bill offering rewards up to half a million dollars to any person who furnishes "original" information to the government on illegal manufacture or importation of nuclear weapons. In a report, the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy said that "since the atomic weapon monopoly of the United States ended, it has been possible for an enemy to smuggle nuclear devices or special nuclear material into this country and thereby destroy vital targets prior to or following the commencement -of hostilities." The President himself would have to approve any reward over 550,000. Beard Goes Up In Smoke HUNTSVILLE, July of Huntsvtlle's longest heards went up in smoke yesterday when the scorched owner misjudged the range in lighting a cigarette. Jim Hill, a jeweler, sported several inches of luxiuriant brunette whiskers until Wednesday's one alarm blaze.

He said that while trying to light a cigarette with his glasses off he set fire to his beard. By the time Hill extinguished the cracking flames a good chunk of his personal forest was missing. So he shaved off the rest. He was growing the beard fori the Huntsville sesqutcentennial celebration Sept. 11-17.

With the completion of the six installations by the spring of 1956, Connecticut will be an active part of the "Electronio Curtain" to protect not only Connecticut's de-1 fense industrial strength, but the nation as well.

Growth In Leg Artery A growth in the main artery on his left leg had almost completely blocked the passage of blood to the limb. No pulse could be recorded anywhere along the appendage. Furthermore, the growth had also worked its way into the right leg and was mov ing up the interior walls of the artery leading to the aorta and the heart. His left leg was immediately threatened and eventually, his life.

On June 13. however, one of the miracles of modern surgery was performed by Dr. Michael DeBakey, a member of the fa culty at Baylor University med ical school, well known for his aortic operations. Entering through the abdomin al wall, Dr. DeBakey cut deeply until, he reached the division of the artery at the pelvis.

In a strongly-worded veto message, Gov. Ribicoff said that the bill would "make a dangerous have people promise to keep Study Shows Cities Have More Cancer By PHDLIP S. COOK Incidence of cancer in Con necticut is greater among urban dwellers than rural residents, according to a detailed statistical analysis of cancer control in the state for the 17-year period, 1935-1951.

The report shows that cancer incidenre is greatest among those who live in cities with a population of 50.000 or more. The State Health Department is preparing to release a cancer survey based on case histories and follow-up reports of cancer patients in most of Connecticut general hospitals. The report will be the first of ils kind in the nation and promises to be an invaluable confibution to cancer control efforts Survival Chances Improve In an interview Thursday, Dr. Matthew H. Griswold.

chief of the health department's division of cancer and other chronic diseases, outlined some of the study's findings. He said generally the statistics show that Connecticut cancer victims have considerably greater chance of survival today than they did 20 years ago. During the 17-year period studied, cancer in Connecticut tended to exist as a disease of middle or later life, Griswold said. The average patient was 62 years of age at th time of the diagnosis of a first cancer. If this average patient survived the first five years with cancer he was likely to live out his life expect- wnneciicui on me mwea Dr.

Griswold said. Statistics show that while the irfcrease in lung; cancer among males has been steady during the years 1935-1951, the increase among females has risen sharply in the period from 1947-1951. The report makes no effort to correlate types of cancers with occupations or life habits, such assmoking. This statewide record is ofrm great value chiefly because it contains a record of cancer incidence in the total state population over un extended period and because it records cancer cases in terms of types and results of treatment expressed in survival rates. The latter will be of tremendous value to any physician dealing with cancer victims.

Case Histo'ries Recorded Data for the report came from the Connecticut Cancer Record Register which was established in the health department in 1936. The register contains a summary of hospital histories of all" can a ling The entire operation was performed in almost three hours but the actual switching of the two systems took a matter of minutes. Medical authorities find it dangerous for any limb to be without blood for much over three minutes before clotting develops. Discharged on July 3, Haushulz has returned his wife and family, almost literally a new man. On Thursday afternoon, with a glowing smile he eagerly related the trials of the past two years and the events leading up to the operation which makes him "feel better than at any time during the past 10 years.

He remembered that he first knew something was wrong when he passed out by the side of the road while traveling to Hartford from Meriden where he serves as vice president and secretary of the C.N.

Designed For New Theory At the present time the law provides that anyone with a husband or wife in a mental institution and declared to be "incurable" might apply for and receive a divorce. The new bill now vetoed by the Governor, was designed to take cognizance of the new theory that most mental illnesses are curable. It changed the present law to make confinement in a mental institution for at least five years as grounds for divorce.

Radical party leaders said they Would insist on the right to speak over the network.

1 Strong rumors that the Columbia Broadcasting System is going to buy WGTH-TV of Hart ford cropped up in Hartford Thursday. The rumors could not be "confirmed. Local radio and TV circles speculated on the sale soon after the National Broadcasting Co. announced it was ending its TV TV of New Haven Oct. 1.

NBC said it was "in conversation" with WKNB-Tv of New Britain about the possibility of the New Britain station, now CBS affiliate, becoming an affiliate of NBC. If materialized, such a move would mean no local TV affiliate for CBS. The local sources said that CBS is considering buying WGTH and making it a prime network affiliate.
