Heart Disease in Geanga Is
Less than National Average
Especial to the Geauga RecOrd)

Especial to the Geauga RecOrd)
NEW YORK, Jan. 18 Ac-
cording to statistics now being
released by the Government,
heart disease, our nations
leading health menace, is re-
Sponsible for a smaller proper
ton of the deaths in Geauga
county than in most OF h e r
sections of the United States.
The data, contained in the
first nation wide report on
vital statistics since 1949, was
gathered during the last census
and is being published in three
volumes by the U. S. Public
Health Service.
1t shows, for Geauga county,
a heart disease toll for III e
year of 1T equivalent to 52.7
percent of all local deaths.
This was a slightly smaller
proportion than was foun d
generally in the nation, where
heart ailments accounted for
52.8 percent of all deaths. 1t
was lower also than the heart
mortality in the East Nor t h
Central States, $40 percent.
Include din the figures ar e
the 20 different forms of heart
disease which, together, strike
down about TITS, 900 men, women
and children annually. This Is
more than the combined toll OF
cancer plus all other diseases
and all accidents.
In addition, points out the
American Heart Association,
there are some 10000, 900 of our
people who are partially or
wholly disabled because OF
heart ailments. They represent
an annual loss of 176 million
work days and a resultant loss
of productivity estimated at $2.1
billion.
The lit heart deaths in &C.
auga county in the year were
equal to a rate of 440 deaths
per 100000 population. Th S

Egypt

A PPARENTLY STILL rent by
= the dissenSion which last
month caused the short term
suspension of President and Pre-
mier Mohammed Naguib, Egypt's
20-month-old military junta an
nounced last Thursday it would
step down July "a after a civilian
constituent assembly is elected
in June.
Over the week end political ele-
ments which have been held under
arrest during the Naguib cleanup
were being released for the ex-
pected feveriSh election campaign.
Some of the overzealous parties
were demanding that the Revolu-
tion Command Council step down
Immediately, but most of the
council appeared reluctant to do
this. Gen. Naguib, who was in the
minority on the council when he
was removed late in February, is
reported to favor early forming of
a civilian cabinet to take over
during the transition to a republi-
can form of government.
DR.. Ally Maher, head of a COM
mittee drafting a new constitution
for Egypt, and Abdel Rack ell
Sanhoury, chief of the Egyptian
high court, are prominently men
toned as possibilities to take over
the new government when it re-
turns to civilian hands.

ID OLITICAL ECHOES of the big
L gest man-made explosion in
history were still heard around
the world last week.
In Washington, President Eisen-
hover told his press conference:
1t tOas quite clear that this time
something must haze happened
that pe had neDer experienced
before, and must hare surprised
and GStoniShed the scientists.
But he would not say more. The
President indicated he would like
to tell the public about the i'm
plications of the new atomic
power, but said he would await
the return of Admiral Strauss,
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, from the Pacific test
area before he commented fur
ther.
In Japan there was comment
aplenty. Most japanese still re-
sent the use of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki for the first atomic-bomb
targets, and they seem to think
that the March / Bikini test
rubbed salt in the old wound.
Radioactive clouds from the sur
prisingly powerful explosion con-

The Little Picture

Dien Bien Phu is small cross
roads in the wilderness of north
west Wet Nam. Two airfields on
the plain where the French and
Wet Namese are now entrenched
make it comparatively easy to
supply by air. AS long as the
Communists are deprived of the
area they cannot supply a success
full invasion of Laos, as their
meaningless thrust and with
drawal at the Laotian royal capt.
tai of Luang Prabang proved. Nor
can the Reds supply their troops
in Wet Nam so handily from Red
China. Dien Bien Phu sits astride
highways both to Laos and to
North-C Central Wet Nam.
The Franco-Viet NameSe forces
there number 10000. over 5000 of
them Wet NameSe All are under
the command of the brilliant,
swashbuckling French Col. Chris
tian de Castries, who built eight
fortreSses from which his troops
have been standing off $4,000
Wet Mini soldiers and launching
vicious reconnaissance sorties of
their own. The Reds Succeeded
in taking two of the eight posi-
tions in the northern sector of
Diem Bien Phu the week before
