Persons with damaged or dis
eased hearts are being given q
chance to live as close to normal
lives as possible through occupa-
tional therapy.
This rehabilitation work, termed
the third phase of medicine, Is
being aided here by the Washing
ton Heart Association.
The therapist visits patients in
the Washington area and takes
them through a planned but re-
laxed and informal series Of steps
designed to lead them from a feel
ing Of useless hopelessness to SELF
confident activity.
A report on this phase of the
associations work is expected to
be given when the Washington
Heart Association holds its annual
meeting at 4:30 pm. tomorrow in
the library Of the American Medi-
cal Association.
In the rehabilitation Of patients
with cardiac handicaps, they are
taught to live with what heart
strength they have left.
DR.. Bernard j. Walsh, president
|of the Washington Heart Associ-
alton, said the first phase Of
medicine is prevention, the second
phase is medical and surgical
care and the third phase, rehabili-
tation.
An example Of what the occu-
pationai therapist does is seen In
the case Of q 55-year-old truck
driver referred to the association
for care. He had suffered some
brain injury, which caused paraly-
sis on one side of the body.
The therapist taught him self
care by showing him how to turn
over in bed. to sit up. using a
muslin rope: to put on and button
his pajamas, to stand between
chairs, to walk with chairs and
then with a cane and many other
things.
Diversional activities came later,
such as leather craft. And still

The Rev. c. Stanley Lowell
pastor of Wesley Methodist
Church, once confessed to init.
macy with a chaplain's wife, Mrs
Eileen Lowell testified yesterday
in District Court.
Mrs. Lowell. 80, seeks a divorce
on grounds of cruelty from her
tall, handsome husband, who is
leader of a fashionable Chevy
Chase ID. c. congregation.
The case, which will resume to-
morrow, also involves DR.. Lowell's
countersuit for divorce on grounds
of desertion. Both want custody
of their three children. Sylvia, 4;
Dean Stanley, 8, and Marilyn, 10
The alleged confession" was
made to her in 1916, after years
|of marital discord, which begar
a few weeks after their 1886
marriage, Mrs. Lowell declared.

Mrs. Lowell then noted paren-
thetically to the court that her
husband had to struggle with
himself before confessing further
Mrs. Lowell identified this
woman as Mrs. James Ranck
whose chaplain husband, at the
time, had just left for duty in
Europe. Earlier Mrs. Lowell COM

between her husband and Mrs
Ranck in 1886.
Separated for 2 Months.
The Lowells separated for two
months in 1916, Mrs. Lowell con-
tinued. after which there was a
one-year reconciliation, finally
broken when the minister began
making Laughing remarks" to
her, such as:
"You should have been twins
you're too dumb for one person, u
and "if your brains were dynamite
you wouldn't be able to blow your
nose" i'
Mrs. Lowell also charged her

1888. She also complained that
on a three-month European tour,
DR.. Lowell made it a practice to
seat himself as far as possible
from her on trains and buses, and
refused to talk with her on the
entire trip.
The only exception to the lat
ter complaint, however, she noted,
was a time when he needed her
to act as German interpreter.
Jean Boardman, counsel for
Mrs. Lowell. said he expects the
trial to last three weeks. Henry
