At the somewhat gloomy harness shop
we descended and went in. The room
smelled of dressed leather. A scanty sort Of
man, presumably Mr.. Beinke, was selling
horse collar to farmer.
"Seen Molly Lutkins around today?
Friend of his looking for him." said Bill,
with treacherous heartiness.
Beinke looked past him at my shrinking
alien self; he hesitated and owned: ''Yuh,
he was in here little while ago. Guess he's
gone over to the Swede's to get shave"
We sought the barber shop Of ''the
Swede." Bill was again good enough to take
the lead. He asked not only the Swede but
two customers if they had seen Lutkins.
The Swede decidedly had not; he ragged: 81

you find him you can just collect the dollar

L n by only five minutes. He had just
left presumably for the poolroom. At the
poolroom it appeared that he had merely
bought pack Of cigarettes and gone on.
Thus we pursued him, just behind him but
never catching him, for an hour, till it was
past one and was hungry. How about
something to eat?" suggested.
Tell you what well do. There's an ele-
CANT view from Wade's Hill. Well get the
old woman to put US up lunch - she
won't charge you but half dollar, and

from guile. But he was no more dishonest

have genetic susceptibility to
high blood pressure, he suggested
In any case DR.. Moser declared, the
explanation that "stress" causes
high blood pressure in both Ameri-
can Negroes and whites is "too
easy"
DR.. John Cassel, South African
physician now at the University
of North Carolina School of Public
Health in Chapel Hill, cited studies
by others showing that top execu-
tives were particularly not prone
to high blood pressure as had been
held. Perhaps top executives come
from high-status families, he sug-
gested, and this "immunizes" them
against the potentially deleterious
effects of clawing their way up the
hierarchy of an industrial organi-
zation."
DIR. Cassel said he believed that
stress and tension among Negroes
in American cities probably contri-
butes to their observed higher blood
pressure.

Blood Pressure
CONTINUED from Page One)

sored by the New York Academy
Of Sciences disagreed on whether
American Negroes had higher
blood pressure because of the
stresses involved in moving from
primitive to urban communities.
Perhaps some factor not now recog-
nized may be the cause of the dis
ease, it was suggested.
The discussion drew prepared
papers and comments from many
medical and social scientists inter-
ested in working together to find
the effects of culture and society
on health of an individual. At the
heart of the discussion is the belief
that, if the cause of higher blood
pressure in Negroes compared with
whites, can be found, major step
will have been taken in the con-
quest of thsi disease among all
people.
DR.. Norman Scotch, a sociologist
now at the Washington State Uni
versity in Pullman, reported that
sos Zulu tribesmen in the Union
of South Africa who had moved
into cities had Significantly
higher" blood pressure than did
548 comparable tribesmen who had
remained in rural areas. This OBJ
servation he attributed to stresses
of city life on the Zulus.
The 1858 Zulus studied by
medical and psychological teams
recognized, he said, the strains of
city life, but they were forced to
leave their villages to support their
families. In studying Zulus in the
city, the group found that mot only
was there poverty, but degradation
and humiliation in the treatment of
Africans by Europeans, frequent
arrests, high rates of illegitimacy,
divorce and separation, alcoholism
and open competition for the few
jobs"
"You can't prove it," DIR. Scotch
commented later, "but stress in
these Negro lives must be taken
into account in relation to their
higher blood pressures."
A different view was taken by
DR.. Marvin Moser, a cardiologist of
Montefiore discussing studies of
Negro populations in Liberia and
in the West Indies. DR.. Moser said
that the ancestors of American Ne
groes came from West Africa and
hence could not be compared with
South African Negro populations
reported on by DR.. Scotch.
DR.. Moser argued that many
Negroes in Liberia and in the West
Indies had high blood pressure
without urbanization and that
these populations were more COM
parable to contemporary Ameri-
can Negro populations than are
South Africans. He reported on
four-year studies of 1850 Negroes
in Liberia and the West Indies.
Perhaps West African Negroes

around to see and talk to the two

After talking with the two en-

purpose. What Scott had learned,
unknown of course to the security
chief, was the fact that one en-
ployee had faced the fact of one
half of the staff quitting when he
was hired; his coffee breaks for
six weeks were lonely because no
one would sit with him. I'm all

Generally, the conclusion that
