Heart Attacks Vary SectionoIIy
By THOMAS r. HENRY

The death rate from heart
attacks-responsible for near
ly a third of all deaths Of
white males between ages Of
IS and 74-is approximately
twice as great in some States
as ir others.
The astounding geographical
difference, for which no expla-
nation is offered, has just been
announced by the United
States Public Health Service.
In New Mexico, Arkansas
and Kentucky the annual rates
among white males were re-
spectively 191, 201 and 2l1 per
100000.
In New York, Rhode Island
and the District of Columbia
the rates were respectively 394,
1854 and 344.
For white females, much less
liable to coronary attacks. the
contrast is even greater. The
rates per 100000 for New
Mexico. Arizona and Nebraska
respectively were SO, 88 and SO.
This is compared to rates Of
pit. 176 and ITS for New York,
New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Possible Causes
There is a general tendency,
1t is pointed out by DR.. Philip
E. Enterline and DR.. William
H. Stewart of the Public
Health Service staff, for States
to cluster in their coronary
death rates. Thus the Dakotas
and the Rocky Mountain
States rank very low. The
Great Lakes States are about
medium. California, Louisiana,
Middle Atlantic States and
most of New England are very
high.
In New England, however,
Maine and Vermont are much
lower than their neighbors.
Possible causes suggested
are regional differences in diet
and ways of life. hereditary
factors which may differ for
different parts of the country
due to the tendency of racial
strains to segregate, and diff
ferences in local diagnosis.
There is no actual evidence,
however, that any of these
factors are responsible.
The differences, tits stressed,
apply equally to city and farm
populations-thus eliminating
the fast pace of living in big
cities as responsible.

There now probably is an
unlimited bone bank.
Experiments at the Naval
Medical Research Center here
have demonstrated that in all
likelihood the bone of any
higher mammal, properly
treated. can be used in any
other higher mammal. includ-
ing man.
In the method reported by
Drs. Fred L. Losee and Lloyd
A. Hurley the bone is placed
in a chemical, ethylenediamine,
which completely digests all
the organic material such as
fats, proteinS, antigens. Only
the mineral part of bone is
left. This, the two Navy
doctors have found. differs
very little from one mammal
genus to another. Greater
differences actually are found
between individuals of the
same species-such as between
young and old men. At the
worst. they appear to be in
consequential.
Why Some Crafts Fail
Failure to graft bone even
from one human to another,
the Navy doctors say, is almost
undoubtedly due to the organic
material. It is necessary for
the bone tissue Of the host to
accept" the intruder in order
for a graft to- take.
Most of the experiments
have been carried out with
dogs. Lessons are made in leg
bones of these animals. These
are then repaired with inlay
CRAFTS of rat, COW or monkey
bone. In every case there
has been an active invasion OF
the foreign bone by blood
vessels, connective tissue and
tissue fluids of the host. Com
plete new blood systems are
built up in about six weeks.
The organic constituents Of
bone "digested" away by the
chemical. the Navy doctors
say, represents about two
thirds of the original material.
With the new method, they
hold. there is no reason why
bone of any. animal cannot be
used to graft injured bones
Of men. For several years
bone grating, but up to now
with human bones, has been a
Navy speciality.

Cold War at the Pole

The cold war seems safely headed
for an armistice in the coolest area of
the world. The Soviet Union and the
United States, already engaged in the
scientific ventures associated with the
International Geophysical Year of 1857
So, repeatedly have agreed on an ex-
change of observers at their respective
Antarctic outpostS. For months past
these two countries, among more than 40
cooperating in this most intensive sur
vey of mans physical environment, have
been establishing and operating bases in
the South Polar regions. Weather in
formation already is being exchanged
between the main American base on
McMurdo Sound and the Soviet head
quarters station at Mirny. Now they
propose to exchange scientific personnel
for new approach at coexistence in this
coolest of climates.
1t is, perhaps, an idea Of considerable
promise. Men of science have, of course,
a common interest and a universally of
language-even If expressed in different
tongues. Presumably they all like to
wear their hair long, smoke pipes and
probably grow boards. Men of science
usually share liking for music, since
music basically is a mathematical art.
Most scientists, and particularly most
Russians, like to play chess-and the
American guest in the Soviet camp had
better sharpen up his game before taking
on one of his hosts. The difference be-
tween vodka and bourbon probably can
With these specifications in mind it may
we'll be demonstrated within the next 10

The very latest view Cd
who wrote Shakespeare" is
that the plays we're done by
a group of men.
No women, of course.
Women, according to some
views, would not be smart
enough to write such superla-
tive plays.
Just why one man, and his
name William Shakespeare,
could not have written them
alas many still believe he
did - is never made quite
clear.
Too good, seems to be the
only reason advanced.
just one man. and especially
one about whom so little is
really known
That seems to be about the
gist of the modern movement
which has spawned many and
very large books, all seeking TO
prove" that somebody else
wrote the plays.
Now comes the group effort
idea.
We might have known they
would get around to this, in
the age when communism is
making such strides in the
world.
What more subtle argu-
ment: What seems to be too
much for one man, especially
a man who really couldn't pen
a good signature, would not be
too much for a gang.
Gangs can do almost any,
thing nowadays, from beeflng
about schools and the like. to
taxing your salary away from
you before you get it.
Maybe some persons would
not like the designation Of

groups.

of Women Voters has been con-

For many years the Airing
ton League of Women Voters
sponsored meetings of candi-
dates for political Office.
At that time the candidates
spoke before other organ
izations in the country. The
number of speaking engage
ments before election became
quite a burden on the candi-
dates who would frequently
speak to number of groups in
one evening. To relieve the
candidates of this burden, the
League of Women Voters joined
with twenty other organiza-
tons five years ago to form the
Arlington Committee for Can
didates' Meetings. Five meet
ings are scheduled in various
sections of the county shortly
before election. The organiza-
tons other than the League of
Women Voters making up this
Committee are as follows:
Civic Federation, County Coun-
Gil for PTAs. Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement, Arlington
ians for a Better County, Dem
ocratic Executive Committee,
National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
American Association Univer-

there had been decisions in
a number of court cases
throughout Virginia indicat-

he felt sure that our meetings
also were within the law.
