MEDICINE: Fresh Interest

inside the walls Of arteries feed
ing the heart, impeding the
blood flow. A form Of hardening
of the arteries, the process is
much like rust collecting inside
iron pipes.
Sometimes blood clots begin
to form as the blood congests at
narrowed parts of the arteries.
If they continue forming they
finally shut off the blood flow to
a part of the heart. This shut
down prevents blood from reach
IL parts Of the heart muscle.
Cells Of the heart in the area
served by the blocked artery
die. This is coronsry thrombosis,
IA "heart attack" Of the type
President Eisenhower endured.
Comeback Provided For
But the heart is tough and
sturdy. Other coronary arteries
Immediately begin to expand
and stretch, rerouting blood into
the starved section. New blood
vessels sometimes grow toward
the affected area. If not too large
"a portion Of the heart has been
cut of, normal repair processes
form scar tissue in the deadened
area. Scar tissue is not as good
las normal healthy muscle tissue,
but the heart can make a come
back and resume its pumping
duties.
T1Sicious use Of blood thin
ming drugs such as heparin and
dicoUmarol-to prevent the clot
from spreading and others from
forming-is credited with a large
role in increasing survival rates.
Complete rest for a period Of
several weeks and reduced ac-
tivity for a longer stretch gives
the heart time to make repairs.
Years ago fear OF overtaxing
their heart kept many heart at
tack victims invalids for the rest
Of their lives. But modern re-
search has shown many can re-
sumo their normal activity.

An unknown quantity is for

keeping himself in the public
eye, though officially retired
from politics, with a world
tour.
Another possibility is the per-

retary.
Democratic Lineup
On the Democratic side there
was strong reasoning that, since
the former Illinois governor had
made such a good showing
against Eisenhower, Stevenson
would be able tc whip any other
Republican. Supporters Of New
York's Harriman, who carry
such a powerful bloc of votes
into the convention, begged to
differ, as did those of Tennes-
sees Sen. Kefauver, who made
himself a national figure during
the preconvention campaigning
of 80. His fellow senators, Sy-
mington Of Missouri, Humphrey
of Minnesota and Russell Of
Georgia also are mentioned,
along with Governors Williams
of Michigan, Ribicoh of Con-
necticut and Lausche of Ohio,
Clement Of Tennessee, Muskie
of Maine, Meyner Of New Jersey
and Leader of Pennsylvania.
Sen. Lyndon johnson Of Texas,
he also knows the pain
Of a heart attack, has been men
toned.
An equal number Of dark
horses and men trying to fall
into the vice presidency will be
at the conventions. And the big
field Of aspirants also opens up
the possibility that either party
might again go outside the ranks
Of office-holders, as the Repub-
Leans did last time.

Egypfiun Arms Deal

The West apparently lost out
this week in its attempt to keep
Communist influence out Of the
Middle East tinderbox.
Premier Canal Abdel Nasser
announced in Cairo that Egypt
has agreed to supply Czecho-
.slovakia with cotton in exchange
for arms.
The announcement came after
it was revealed that the United
States had offered arms to
Egypt in an unprecedented ef-
fort to block a rumored move
by Russia to heighten its stand
ing with the Arab nations by
providing military equipment to
the ancient country Of the Nile.
Nasser said the Western Pow
ers had refused to supply Egypt
arms unless the Egyptians agreed
to conditions his nation could
not accept.
The news from Cairo came
while the United States and
Britain called on Russia and
other countries not to contribute
to an arms race in the Middle
East.

posal were not Immediately

The United States and Britain
have attempted in the past to
prevent any substantial arms
trading with Middle Eastern
countries, in the hopes of pre-
venting resumption of the Pal

nations and Israel.
Israel regards any attempt to
bolster the armed forces Of the
Arab countries as a th1eSt to
its own security. However, IS

was actively on the scene he re-
mained a symbol of hopes for
world peace, even inside the
Soviet Union. Those were not,
by any means, crocodile tears
which Russians shed in a Bap-
tist Church in Moscow at the
news of the Presidents illness.
The ordinary Russian is afraid
of war, and the course of Soviet
diplomacy and propaganda in
recent months had obliged the
Kremlin, willy-nilly, to acknowl-
edge that President Eisenhower
was a man Of peace. The ordi-
nary Soviet man, apart from the
sophisticated upper crust Of the
Communist party, would feel 8
deep sense of loss if anything
happened to such a man.
New Avenues
But the Kremlin now could
conceivably feel that its hands
were united by the prospect
that President Eisenhower might
soon be retired from the polit-
ical scene. The Soviet press al
ready has pictured Secretary Of
State Dulles and all the rest of
the American leaders as repre-
sentatives Of Wall Street, war
mongers and ruling capitalist
circles. The Kremlin might even
find itself happy to get out of
the uncomfortable squeeze into
which the Presidents popular
and subtle policies had appar-
emily maneuvered it.
The United States may 60 to
the Geneva conference next
month with the intention of
it plain to the world
that President Eisenhower's pol
icies remain the foundation of
American diplomacy. But So
7iet propaganda is quite capable
If taking advantage Of the new

Less than two days after Lo-

ton Of the change in leadership.
The sWiftness of action was
interpreted as a gesture of full

Overwhelming guess was that,

Trouble Ahead
With regard to No. 2, the tuft

Many Democrats may think tha'

The noise in behalf of Vice

the loudest among the

Heart disease, which caused
more than hah the deaths oc-
curing in the United States last
year, was placed Ia a burning
spotlight Of public attention this
week.
The American public, which
doesn't often stop to consider
the fact that polio and traffic
accidents-which in recent years
have received tremendous pub
icity-are in fact far less dam
aging to national health then
rheumatic fever, coronary throm-
bosis, high blood pressure and
other ailments connected with
the human body's most impor-
tant and hardest working organ,
the heart.
The new attention comes to
heart disease NhJe medical sci
.ence is scoring It's first dramat-
lie victories against the nations
leading killer. Just 80 years ago,
heart attacks like the one sssf-
fered by President Eisenhower
Last week in Denver killed SO
per cent Of the men they struck.
Because of new understanding
of the operation Of the heart,
today 80 to go per cent survive
the first attack and many go
back to normal lives and nor
NAL, or nearly normal, work.
Amazing CAPACITY
The heart is a 1luscle the size
Of two fists. It beats about 80
million times a. year, daily
pumping 4,320 gallons of blood
through $4,000 miles Of blood
vessels.
Some Of this blood-the body's
nourishment-is pumped into
the heart itself through a sys-
tenn Of arteries and veins. These
arteries, just as others in the
body, are susceptible to a clog

ing the foreign ministers:
The Soviet ,rgument-The
key to world peace is European
security. A system of collective
European security must precede
any concrete move to reunite
Germany. Both Communist Easi
Germany and the Federal Re
public Of West Germany must
be represented in such a system
after which the Germans them
selves must sit down at one
table and work out their own
problems. The Soviet Union will
not countenance any notion of a
reunited Germany free to par
ticipate in a western alliance
such as the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Western Position
The Western argument-There
can be no collective security in
Europe without a solution to the
German problem, which means
that a way must be found to re-
unite the Germans before secu-
rity guarantees can mean any
thing. The West regards Soviet
proposals as intended to dissolve
the NATO alliance, and such in
tentions will be resisted. The
West, as matters stand now, will
not abandon the idea of West
ern European union, or the idea
Of cooperative defensive effort
represented by NATO. West
Germany remains committed as
a KEY part of that effort.
To this deadlock, which has
been in the making all along
since the summit conference of
the Big Four heads Of govern
ment, a new element has been
added by the h, -rt attack which
felled President Eisenhower.
The Presidents policy in ne
gotiating with the Soviet Union
had an element of flexibility
about it which required a eau
tious Kremlin approach. The
force Of the Presidents person
atty precluded any brusque,
out-of-hand rejection by the So
Wet Union of his gestures in the
name Of peace. Thus, while the
deadlock still obtained no mat
ter what the state Of the Presi-
dents health, his active presence
on the scene was a means Of
keeping the door to negotiations
constantly open.
Wide RepurcussiOns
However, the effect that the
Presidents illness has had upon
the American political scene.
will have resounding repercus-
sions in the wcrld POLITICAL
arena. It could even lead to al
return Of the Soviet Union toI
the stony stubbOrnness ofStalin'sI
day. The Kremlin could con-
ceivably hope to reap profit
from such an approach.

He stated that General Jack
