leases will take the newspapers
through to 1855, at least. as the
leases were signed in 1947.
But what will happen after the
occupation forces leave, or after
1855 if the Americans are still
here then, is an open question
The new publishers fear the old
owners may take the leases 70
court once the Americans have
left, get them voided and take
over the newspapers by law or by
charging exorbitant rates.
Johann Naumann of Augsburg,
Bavaria, chairman of the u. S.
zone-wide publishers association,
said the primer owners already
have begun to exert pressure.

"The attitude of these plant
owners, most of the Nazi party
members, was evident almost i'm
mediately after the bulk OF the
rehabilitation procedures broke
down early last year," he said.
although their legal efforts
may not be successful now, they
have already tried to put pres
sure on the publishers by increas-
ing the rents. No newspaper to
day can cope with the rates quot
ed. In this way, the owners have
tried to force their way into the
business and thus establish them
selves in the newspaper field
again."

Until recently, most forms of
heart disease were considered in

of medical science, we now know
that many types of heart disease
are durable.
As consequence, it is now
more important than ever that
an adequate diagnosis of heart
disease be established in every
patient to determine the type OF
treatment to be instituted. For
