SAN DIEGO.-A rookie police
man who told authorities he "got

And last night shot himself in

New Method Shows
Heart Ills Before
Danqer Point Neors

ST. LOUISA new means of dis
closing heart ailments before they
reach the deadly stage is saving
many lives, according to Sumner T.
Pike, acting chairman of the atomic
energy commission. Pike said the
method was developed only recent
ly in an atom-radiation study.
"a little piece of research that
had no connection with atomic ener-
gy has produced what looks like
the most highly important discovery
in the history of heart disease"
Pike said.
He explained that University of
California scientists were studying
the effect of radiation on the
blood of rabbits when they noticed
that certain molecules in the blood
meant incipient hardening of the
arteries.
Pike said the telltale molecules
now can be separated from other
constituents of the blood by whirling
a blood sample around in a centri-
fuge.
when the heart trouble is
detected in its incipient stage, it
can speedily be corrected by diet
ing" Pike added.
He said after the test was found
to work with rabbits, it was tried on
104 cardiac humans" and 103 re-
sponded to the diagnosis.
This means a complete, defin-
tie diagnosis Of the principal
group of heart diseases with bet
ter than 90 per cent accuracy" Pike
asserted.
