A federal jury of scientists-at work for nearly 14 months- has readied its final report on smoking and health, It will be made public at noon Saturday.

The jury members are jealously guarding its secrecy. In their offices, the files are of Medicine in Bethesda, or the back issues of your local newspaper. For the job of the federal jury was not to do new research, but to weigh and test the validity of statistical and experimental research already done, already reported, already made public.
