are not always signs of heart trouble. These
and other recent techniques are never sub
stitutes for thorough examination, and are
used only to supplement other evidence.
The three most prevalent causes of heart
trouble are high blood pressure, rheumatic
fever and coronary artery disease. The last
condition results from thickening of the wall
of the heart arteries, and a characteristic
symptom is angina pectoris, pain in the chest,
coming as result of effort. The pain may
be confined to the breastbone region or rad-
ate to one or both arms, usually the left arm.
It's an interesting fact that the heart muscle
itselfis not commonly injured directly. Angina
pectoris and many other symptoms are caused
by damage to the arteries that lead to the
vital organ and its valves. The heart is prob
ably the strongest muscle in the body 1t has to

Such cases are familiar to all heart special
lists. The idea that every pain in the chest
means heart disease ignores the facts of every
day medical experience. Actually, in more than
eight out of 10 cases it's sign of an entirely
different illness, generally not serious one.
Unfounded fears can conceivably hurt a
patient more than his sickness. Shortness of
breath is good example: the odds are about
nine to one that it's asthma, a lung ailment

TNHERE is no sure-fire symptom OF heart
IL disease. But try telling that to amateur
experts" people who preserve old-fashioned
notions and pass on these notions to worried
friends as sage advice. A person may have
pain in the chest, palpitation or shortness of
breath - or even all three - and the chances
are still heavily in his favor.
1t would be foolshness to dodge the fact
that heart disease accounts for more deaths in
the u. S. than any other single cause. But
that's no excuse for clinging to hair-raising
myths which frequently produce the worst of
all suffering: the agony of gnawing. unvoiced
fear Silly ideas about heart disease have wor-
red thousands of persons. Men and women
who were too frightened to visit their
doctors have endured years of needless
anguish, even died before their time.
Take the case of Joe Brown. New England
chicken farmer. At three o'clock one morning
he turned off the alarm clock and dragged
himself out of bed. He groped his way to the
incubators and started turning the eggs over

sides. Then he noticed pressing, slowly
mounting pain in his chest, just behind the

may be sign of heart trouble. Any delay in
going to doctor and finding out is foolish,
especially when you consider that the average
car owner can't hear an unfamiliar wheeze
in the motor without dashing to the nearest
garage.
New Techniques
SPECIALISTS have developed new techniques
to help spot heart trouble. There's the ballis-
tocardiograph, table" on which the patient
lies and which is suspended so delicately that
it recoils with the force of the heartbeat and
squirt of blood through the arteries. This
instrument provides rough indication of the
hearts output. A much more important device
is the electrocardiograph which picks up the
tiny electrical currents that accompany heart
action and represents the impulses as wavy
lines on graph paper. Such records have to

Palpitation, dizziness, faint
ness, swollen feet - these
possible heart symptoms are
more often than not signs of
other ailments. In fact, we see
many people who have nearly

every possible symptom on the list, and they
are almost always suffering from anxiety

high-strung. We don't yet know just what's

all right.

Gives Denial 10 Com
plant by Wiese

ANCHORAGE, >sy 20ER-An
AFL Fishermen's Union business
agent charged yesterday that John
Wiese, President OF the CLIO West
ward Alaska Fisheries Council, is
not bargaining in good faith for
a commercial fishing contract.
Alfred Owen Jr., business agent
of the United Fishermen of Cook
Inlet, made the charge after Wiese
requested that Henry Benson, Ter
ritorial Labor Commissioner, APP
point a mediator to participate in
negotiation here.
If Wiese were bargaining in
good faith, he would ask for an
arbitrator instead of mediator, .
Owen said.
He explained a mediator would
only act as a chairman in a meet
ing to bring the bargaining parties
together, whereas an arbitrator
would study the merits of the case
and attempt to render decision.
Owen denied Wiese's claim that
management has refused to nego-
tiate.
I'VE are having no trouble with
the industry, even though nc
agreement has yet been reached,
Owen said. Management is not
failing to negotiate or bargain. We
meet every day or two and no one
is mad"
Owen said contracts have not
been completed for Cordova. Ko-
diak, or Upper and Lower Cook
Inlet.
Owen reported progress is being
made in negotiations at Cordova
Lower Cook Inlet and Anchorage.
I'm Kodiak, there is no particular
hurry, as the season doesn't open
until June g." he said.
Meanwhile, the commercial fish
ing season opens today. But owen
commented:
1T doesn't matter whether there
is any fishing for the next week OF
so because the fish have not begun
to run yet. But we. expect to fish
this summer without strike. We
will complete the contract without
trouble unless there are unforeseen
