Since the first Russian
Sputnik went into orbit there
has been much scurry and
hustle in America to catch
up" with the Soviets in GER
tain technical fields. Stimuli
taneously, there have been
many warnings against over
emulation Of the Russians.
A good example of the lat
ter danger was evidenced
several weeks ago in a little
noticed press dispatch from
Moscow. It said bluntly that
the Soviets are prepared to
start tossing ineffective busi-
nessmen into Jail. AS re-
ported in part by Max
Frankel to the New York
Times:
THE Soviet government
warned all officials in its far
flung industrial empire today
that failure to meet produc-
ton and delivery quotas
could henceforth be treated
as a criminal offense.
1T disclosed that a decree
issued four weeks ago estab-
lished new penalties for ex-
ecutives Of enterprises. econ
omic councils and even min
istries. The governments
principal concern, it was said,
it to insure deliveries Of in
dustrial goods to economic
regions whose industries de-
pend on them. The govern
ment did not explain the
nature Of the shortcomings
that had prompted the adop-
ton Of harsh punishments. "

(blueness) Of his lips and
flngernails.
In other words, here was
q patient with heart failure.
You must remember, C.L.M.,
that there are many different
degrees of failure. This is in
answer to your query: How
may a person live with fall
ure?" I have known patients
who lived for tens Of years
with q failing heart" A
new way Of life (less exertion,
less tension, proper diet) did
the trick. With. Of course,
the help Of such medicines
as digitalis, quinidine. dia-
mox, mercurial indications,
etc.
Many people think Of heart
failure as zone disease" It
isn't. It is the end result of
one Of many different kinds
of heart disease. And 1t diff.
fers in each patient.
For example, Mr.. Jones
may have an enlarged heart,
fluid in the lungs, shortness
Of breath and swollen ankles
due to coronary artery dis
ease Of long standing. lCMr.
Smith had similar symptoms,
but his condition was rheu-
matte heart disease.) But
there is Mr.. Brown, also with
coronary disease who has O
different sort of heart fall
ure. He has no swollen
ankles, shortness Of breath
Cor even an enlarged hearty.
His chief complaint is angina
pectoriS. He can't walk a
block without getting severe
chest pain.
$50
YOU SEE, THAT Is an
other kind Of failure. In other
words. loss Of heart efficiency
may be due to any number
Of different kinds Of heart
disease; arterioSclerosiS; high
blood pressure; coronary dis
ease; rheumatic heart; con-
genital heart: certain types
Of thyroid disease; severe in
fections Of the heart valves
complicating a severe illness,
etc.
The heart. after very many
years Of straining to over
come abnormalities at last
begins to tire" When there
comes an imbalance between
the output Of blood from the
heart and the blood that is
returned to the heart by the
veins. then we get the various
evidences Of heart failure
that I have mentioned.
This is one of the reasons
for fluid in the lungs land
elsewhere). Due to poor cir
culation the lungs become
congested and waterlogged.

A tale like the one Janet
wants to pass on might wreak
havoc in that marriage and
some Of the responsibility
would certainly fall on
Janet's shoulders.
It is possible that Janet's
brother fought to have" the
information she wants to pass
on, and it is very likely he
will eventually have 1t in
some form.
II he doesn't perhaps Elsa
will have realized the fool
hardness of what she has
done and will resolve to turn
over a new leaf.
In any case, Janet will not
have to bear the responsible
ity Of creating q disturbance
in her brothers marriage.
Janet should recognize that
her brothers wife is q mere
human being and must do
some things which leave her
open to censure-just as
Janet herself does. If she
must stand as Judge over
somebody's conduct, sh e
should try to stick to her

How to

Failure and Weakness of Heart
By Or. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: We
enjoy your frank, down-tO-
earth columns. May you live
many, many more years,
helping others understand
their ailments. viii You
please explain heart failure
or heart weakness? Why does
the fluid collect in the lungs?
How may q person live with
this type Of ailment? / am
81. c. l.. M.
Thank you, elm, for
your sincere, good wishes.
Long life to you. too.
Now to come directly to the
point: heart failure simply
means that the heart is not
doing its job efnciently. 1t
is not getting the blood
through to all the organs
effortlessly.
Let's consider a typical ex-
ample. Here is a man in his
sixties who had rheumatic
fever as q young man and
sustained q heart complioa-
ton: one Of his heart valves
became infected and de-
formed. Nevertheless, in all
the intervening years his
heart behaved Is well as
anyone else's.

HE WORKED HARD as a
travelling salesman. This re-
quired climbing many stairs,
which he negotiated without
any difhculty.
Lately, however, he has
complained. He says. land is
right: II guess my hearts
not what it used to be. I get
short of breath even when I
walk q few hundred yards
on level ground. As for stairs,

legs are a little swollen every

work. AS for golf. that's out.

Examination showed that
his heart was enlarged. that
his mitral murmur was more
advanced than it had been
years before, that he had
some rales indication Of
fluid at the bases Of his
lungs, that his heart was
fibrillating (irregular) and
that he had q cyanosis

ton from this side Of the
world. Nevertheless, and quite
apart from whatever mean
ing the dispatch may have
politically or economically.
the very fact that such a
decree could be issued at all
shows how wide the gap is
between American and Rus
sian legal systems.
Can you imagine being put
in jail for not working hard
enough?
In this country the most
that can happen to loafers
or incompetents Is that they
may get fired. Getting fired
is hardly inconsequential. but
1t is a far cry from being
tagged a criminal.
OF course, there is no sug-
geStion at present that Amer
leans are vulnerable to such
government tactics, even re-
motley. Our Federal Consti-
tuition contains q number Of
projections against this sort
Of thing-including the 18th
Amendment which prohibits
involuntary servitude or slav-
cry. And the Russian decree
appears to be just a subtle
form Of slavery. Maybe not
even subtle. At best, it is a
sort Of involuntary servitude.
But while we may have
nothing to worry about on
this score. 1t is noteworthy
that history contains exam
pies Of other democratic ma
tons which abandoned their
legal safeguards Of liberty in
order to combat the enemy
and somehow never got them
back again.
