Undermining
Policy, nCuba
~ the Associated Press

A charge by Vice President
johnson that partisan attacks
are aimed at undermining pub
lie confidence in President
Kennedy brought q prompt
Republican reply of mot guilty"
today.
Mr.. johnson told the Ma
tional Advertising Council last
nisht that. II the Nations eff
fectiveness in world affairs is
TO be preserved. "the central
focus Of partisan attack cannot
continue to be the peoples
confidence in the institution of
the Presidency Of the United
States"
Citing Cuba as as example,
Mr.. johnson said the United
States cannot function effec-
lively II 1t is paralyzed by ir-
responsible conflicts which tear
down confidence In our sys-
tenn :"
No Names Mentioned
The Vice President did not
pinpoint the origin Of these at
tacks, but he seemed obviously
to be aiming at Republican
criticism Of Mr.. Kennedy's
Cuban policies and Of the adj
ministration's relations with
United States allies when he
said:
Under our Constitution, the
Executive and only the Execu-
tive speaks for and acts for this
Nation In relations abroad
and no partisan cause can JUS
tify disregard Of this standard"
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said In an interview
he has no quarrel with the con-
stitutional provision clothing
the President with power in the
field Of foreign relations.
Denying that Republicans
were trying TO undermine Mr..
Kennedy's presidential author
ity, Senator Dirksen said that
he believes there Is O valid place
for criticism Of executive &C
ton.
Criticism is always in order"
he said. "It gives vigor to our
system"
Bailey Raps Miller
However, Democratic Ma
tional Chairman John M.
Bailey accused his Republic
can counterpart, Representative
Miller Of New York, Of going
too far in advocating q block
ade Of Cuba even at the risk
Of war.
Mr.. Bailey. said in Q state
ment that "Mr. Miller has only
one message-to play politics
with war and peace in a nu-
clear age. to risk the lives Of
American servicemen to give
his party a political ISSUE"
Senator Morse. Democrat Of
Oregon, also took q shot today
at critics Of Mr.. Kennedy's
Cuban policy.
Senator Morse. chairman Of
the Latin American Affairs
Subcommittee. said the present
Russian force In Cuba does not
justify use Of armed forces
THAT could quickly lead to the
/ nuclear destruction Of our cities
and homes"
In an address prepared for
the Foreign Relations Commis@i
sion Of the American Legion
here, Senator Morse voiced
support Of the President Gin
! his pursuit Of the removal Of

H er editury Factor
Seen In High
Blood Pressure

Blood pressure responses may
be an Inherited Characteristic
which predisposes to high blood
pres ssure, study indicated today.
A standard test given to 207
persons to determine their blood
pressure response revealed a
larger number of hyperreactors
among those with hypertensive
father or mother than among
those whose parents had normal
blood pressure, according to Paul
H. Barnett, MD, Edgar A. Hines
Jr., Md, Alexander Schirger,
MD, and Robert P. Gage, MS,
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MINI.
In families in which one or
both parents were hypertensive,
% of 73 children were hyper
reactors, the researchers re-
ported in the current Journal
of the American Medical Asso-
citation. In families In which
neither parents was hypertensive
only 8 of 107 children were
hyperreactors, they said.
The finding that the percent
age of hyperreactors in hyper
tensive families was more than
four times the percentage OBJ
served in the normal families
lends further support to the con-
cept that this type of vascular
reactivtty IS an Inherited char
acteristic, they said.
Most Of the parents of the
subjects studied had been pa
tients at the Mayo Clinic and the
records showed that the family
histories were accurate, they
said.
The blood pressure reactions
generally were measured by TAX
ing the normal blood pressure at
rest and comparing 1t with the
rise in blood pressure when the
subjects hand was placed In cold
water for one minute, the re-
searchers said.
The 207 participants, ranging
in age from 33 to 46, were part
of a group of 800 students at St.
Johns School in Rochester who
were similarly tested 81 years
earlier, they said.
Thirty-one subjects who were
hyperreactive when originally
tested in 1884 and who were re-
tested In 1861 again proved to
be hyperreactive, they said. In
addition, q previously normal
reactors had hyperreactive re-
sponses to the 1861 test, they
said.
It was also found that 4 Of 40
subjects designated hyperreac-
tors In 1884 had developed high
blood pressure, whereas none of
the 167 designated normal re-
actors had become hypertensive,
they said.
This tends to support the theory
that persons who are hyperreac-
tors are more likely candidates
for high blood pressure

surgeons said.

surgeons said.
In the acute form, they said,
the process begins when atrans-
verse split occurs In the inner
and middle layers Of the aorta
where it arches up from the
heart. The tear may extend all
around the inner circumference
Of the artery, they said.
Blood pumped from the heart
into the aorta then flows through
the tear and forces open a new
channel between the layers of
the artery wall, creating a
double-barrel effect, they said.
This process often extends
along the entire length Of the
aorta and into its large branch
ss, they said. It also disrupts
The function of the aortic valve
located where the artery leaves
the heart, they said.
Death from this series Of
events, technically termed acute
dissecting aneurysm, often oc-
ours within hours Of several
days as a result Of additional
complications, such as rupture
Of the entire thickness Of the
artery wall, they said.
The surgical procedure con-
sists OF eliminating the newly
formed blood channel by contin-
uous stitches through all layers
Of the artery wall as far as the
dual channels extend, they said.
This allows the separated lay
ers to heal back together and
the aortic valve to resume its
normal function, they said.
The ends Of the artery layers
at the tear also are joined, they
said.
"Such an approach provides
the opportunity to save the lives
of patients who might otherwise
