URANIUM FEVER has hit the huge Pacific Northwest Pipeline Corp., soon to build a $168 million pipeline from New Mexico's San Juan gas field to West Coast markets (TIME, Dec. 27). Workmen laying pipe through uranium-rich eastern Utah-western Colorado plateau area will be equipped with Geiger counters so that Pacific Northwest will not risk bypassing any promising ore vein...
...place, the French proposed pipe-smoking René Mayer, 60, who was Premier of France for four months in 1953. An able banker-businessman who has a family connection with the wealthy Rothschilds, Mayer served with De Gaulle in North Africa during World War II.

He is a sufficiently good European to satisfy the Catholic M.R.P. members of Faure...
Victims & Packs. The crude figures were striking enough: in 32 months, lung cancer had killed only 33 per 100,000 of the observed nonsmokers, but 246 regular cigarette smokers-more than seven times as many. Cigar smokers had about the same rate as nonsmokers; pipe smokers had double the rate.

Noninhaling cigar and pipe smokers run about the same risk as 16-to-34 cigarette men (higher, relatively, than their risk of lung cancer...
Personality: Burke is a sturdy man (5 ft. 11 in., 200 Ibs.) with a deceptively easy smile and a soft voice. At home in Washington with his wife (they have no children), he likes torelax with a curved pipe, tweed jacket, a drink and a book. (His latest: Hadrian's Memoirs.} Actually, he gets little chance to relax. During his last tour in Washington, he read reports and ate hot dogs at his desk during his lunch hour, telephoned aides any time between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. Like all blue-water sailormen, he is at his best...
