Rep. Wright Pitman Texas) proposed the question of the week after studying President Eisenhower's request for a $73.9 billions national budget in fiscal 1959 hen he queried, "Where are they going to gel the money?" However, the navy successfully launched its Polaris missile Friday, three days after the army had sent its Redstone missile into the wild blue yonder at Cape Canaveral. 'As the week drew to a close the house ways and means committee approved Eisenhower's request for a temporary $5 billion dollar boost in the national debt limit. On a different note.

Sen. Ralph Yarbrougb. of Texas introduced a bill to restore vetr eran's education benefits under the GI bill of rights. The measure would cover volunteers or draftees who served at least 90 days after January 31, 1955. And on the lighter side of the news marriages of two prominent entertainment figures were in the spotlight.

The marriages were that of Jayne. Mansfield to Hungarian-born boyfriend Mickey Hargi-tay and of Debra Paget to singer David Street, who just a week earlier had divorced his fourth wife of less than a month. Missiles, money and mailmen were making more head- lines oh the national scene last week with the newly seated house quickly alloting an extra half billion dollars for mis- sile development. This development came after President Eisenhower asked for approval of a $73.9 billion et for fiscal 1959. Ike declared he won't ask for a tax raise, but would rather go to red ink financing.

As for the: mailmen, they got a break from the postmaster general, who declared one dog bite will cut off mail do-: In another branch of the gov-ernment. agriculture Secretary Benson found another fire lit under his kettle when Democratic senators accused him oE using "false figures" to substantiate his call for reduced price supports. Back with the missile controversy, Sen. Lyndon Johnson charged in a hearing that "any little budget officer down the line" can halt a proj-ct. rich Chicagoan.

After extensive contradictory testimony, the judge took the case under advisement. On the safety front, the post mortem on state' highway car deaths brought a proposal that speeds on Oklahoma county roadways be reduced to 50 miles per hour both day and night. And while the drivers were taking their licks, the illegal parkcrs continued to be in the middle of a big city hall-police department hassle over ticket fixing. This mess turned into a series of proposals, charges and counter-charges with no one coming up with anything that appeared to be a satisfactory solution.

ESQUIRE commiserates with the nihilistic philosophy cf the Beat Generation. Then, as a witty relief but not an unrelated problem, it also has a piece about courtship on the campus The kidnaping of two preschool age sisters and the sexual molestation of one of the pair Tuesday brought forth an all-out effort by the police "department to ferret out the guilty man. The two girls, 3 and 5 years old, were taken irom a car in a southside grocery store parking lot while their mother ran inside for a bottle of milk. They were dumped on a lonely road in a chilling mist. Police were hauling in every known sex offender for questioning, but as the -week ran out the guilty man still had not been found.

Joining the lilt of th unexpected ourc for a tubiecr this week is the SATURDAY" REVIEW devoting most of itself to U. S. business, its expanding responsibilities, its challenges and changes.

CAUSES OF CANCER Many things are known to cause or be involved in tbe start of cancers too much rays, some kinds of chemicals, repeated irritation or injury. Numerous studies associate heavy clgaret smoking with greater risk of lung cancer, but some researchers dispute this.

Fundamentally Hi big quattion is what happens in living systems to make some cells go haywire in heedless cancerous growth. Is tho culprit perhaps viruses of some unknown kinds? Viruses are akin to the genetic material in living cells, tho material that controls what cells do. Viruses are known to cause some few kinds of animal nnd chicken cancers. The virus theory of human cancer now is -drawing new and revived support, Dr. Francisco Duran Reynals of Vale, a pioneer in this thinking, finds some evidenco that viruses may lio harmless and sleeping within body cells, until something happens to stir them to action and malignancy.
