FACTOR P' HELD CAUSE
OF PAINS IN LIMBS
British Medical Editor Describes
New Discovery to New York
Academy of Medicine.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 22.-Eir
Thomas Lewis, British medical editor
Tuesday reported to the New York
Academy of Medicine the discovery of a
new factor in the production of pains
in limbs the blood vessels Of which are
diseased.
Sir Thomas labeled the new factor
factor P" and said it gave rise to the
stimulus which finally produced the
sensation of pain. He explained the
term intermittent claudication" was
the medical name of the symptomatic
pain of which patients afflicted with
vascular diseases of the legs complained.
This pain, Sir Thomas said, came on
during exercises even as mild as walk
ing. 1t produces lameness. In explain
ing the presence of factor P" he said:
I'VE have concluded that when mus
cular exercise Is taken in the absence
Of blood supply II leads to pin. That
the stimulus actually responsible for
the pain arises directly or indirectly out
Of the contraction of the muscles was
another Of our conclusions"
A motion picture of the flow of blood
through the heart valves of animals and
snakes was part of the British sci
entist's lecture.

PRESIDENT GETS PLAN
FOR DELAY ON DEBTS
Credit Mems Proposal Seeks to Re-

Hardest Hit.

BY the Associated Press.
A suggestion by the National Asso-
citation Of Credit Men to extend debt
moratoriums in sections of the United
States hardest hit by present economic
conditions was laid before President
Hoover yesterday by Henry II. Hermann
of New York, executive manager of the
organization.
Heimann said he told the President
the money-raising facilities of his asso-
citation would be made available to the
emergency employment relief organiza-
ton headed by Walter S. Clifford.
The $500,000,000 credit plan proposed
by President Hoover was described by
Heimann as benefiting credit men
through the increased availability of
liquid capital to business men.
The National Association, represent
ing largely wholesalers, has been in con-
ference with organizations representing
retail credit on debt moratorium pro-
posals.
Prices of beer and stout are being
