Needless Fear of Heart Ills
By Herman N. Bundexen, M. 0. Os recent years, the average man ha* read and beard ho much of reart disease that he is, a* it were, "over-sold” «u its danger*. A* a result, the very naiiu-* of the various heart disorders carry with them a feeling of dooin. This is unfortunate because it puis an added burden on both the heart patient and bin doctor. Grave Ailment Take coronary IhromboslH for instance. This i* indeed a grave ailment It may prove fatal, and yet t lie re are uumerou* cases on record when- such patient* have enjoyed many years nt good health after recovery from an attack. This ahi'atu- is the result of what dtM tors <ull an "Infraction” of the heart muscle, which simply mean* that a portion of the tissue dies through lack of oxygen and Hour Isbment. Thia comes about as a result of blocking in a branch ol the coronary arteries which *up|>ly the heart with blood. Just why this blocking occur* is not defin holy known. According to Dr. Arthur J Geiger of New Haven. Connecticut. there are three cardinal points of treatmeut: first, the relief of pain; second, provision of rest for the heart; and third, the proventine and treatment of any complication*. How Much Exertion After time has been allowed for repair of the damaged area, the doctor will estimate how much ezertlsr the patient can safely make. Thereafter, life is largely a matter of adjusting activities to the capacity of the heart for work. ■ So long a* this Is done, the chances for life and health are good evenj over ’on* periods of time.
are already employed in the young ' and fast-growing industry, which was established here late in 1941 by Stewart W. McMillen. Geared -for further expansion. the industry will provide further employment as It reaches its goals in increased production schedules. — O <» The nomination of M. Clifford Townsend, former governor of Ind iana, as the Democrat candidate for United Hute* Senator, meet* i with popular accord among the peo|*le. A farmer, former county school su|H-riuiendeiit, an able ex ecutive and student of government, Mr Townsend is probably one of the liesi known men tn Ind j iu.i. He lends leadership and dignity to the Denioirut ticket, lie Is a vlgorou- campaigner and will carry bi. message and that of hi* party to the voters of the state, who in the final analysis have the answer that will be recorded in | November. I) •() — That Britisher must have had | someone in mind w hen lie suggest- ' ed that "guilty men" lie used as i guinea pigs on the ships In the atomic bomb test next week. A colleague replied, "There might be ' some difficulty in making the I choice." No doubt the navy will -tick to the original plan of using , a few goats, pigs and cow* In the Bikini experiment at "Operations Crossroads." one of the greatest demonstrations ever planned by mini. The future of navies and likewise the future of the World d< pends largely on what effect the bomb will have on ships that will seive as targets for the atomic blasts. O O On the theory that self help is better than philanthropy, residents of t ight industrial and congested Chicago areas have been mobilized to stamp out Juvenile delinquenI< y and parental irresponsibility. I Community groups operating for ' themselves and their own children run dubs and recreation halls, send children to summer camps, manage adult education classes, help to rehabilitate probationer! and pa ciied persons, organize tav- > rn iiail keepers and generally help to keep adults and youths out of trouble. Tile idea, developed several years ago, is receiving new emphasis this year when juvenile delinquency poses added problem*. Hundreds of volunteer work er have been organized in these . neighborhoods. The citizens raise > all money needed, including that for salaries of paid
for relief of the pain, a narcotic such as morphine is recoin mended which can be given by injection into a iiiiiscie or a vein. A drug known as demerol may Im used in place of morphin*- It Is valuable in relieving pain and causes relatively little disturbance of the stomach and bowel. Morphine may i ause vomiting and dept- a the breathing. Another preparation which has been found helpful is papaverine which is like morphine in its action, but somewhat weaker. However, it has Mime effect In dilating or relaxing the spasm of blood vessels and thu not only relieves the pain, but also may have a good effect on the circulation to the heart. Il also may he given by Injection into a muscle or a vein. Restricted Diet Dr. Geiger also recommend.-, that during the first week or ten days following the occurrence of the attack, the diet Im restricted. The patient should be kept In bed at rest for several weeks a least. He instructs the patient not to exert any muscular effort. The patient Is fed by an attendant and daily bathing and change of bed linens is not encouraged as it disturbs the patient. During the second week, if the patient s condition is satisfactory, he is given upward massages of
the legs two or three times a day. snd he is allowed to feed himsplf. At the end of the fourth week. sometiHU-s earlier, the patient is allowed to «lt up in a chair, and gradually begin to walk. Just how soon the patient may return to his normal activities depend* on the condition of the heart and the reaction* which occur to exercise.

Quarrels Os Japan, Germany Revealed Japs Refused Nazis Plea To Attack Russ Washington. June 26— (UP)--Hitherto aecret German documents seized at the end or the war revealed today that Japan. end Germany were far from friendly allies. They quarreled alaml political policies, economic aid to each other, and military strategy. Germany wanted Japan to attack Russia and meet her midway in Niherla in the fall of 1911. Instead. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and blasted Nazi hopes of keeping the U. 8. out of the war. These facts are revealed in a series of German documents on Japanese relations now being made public by the state department as they are analyzed. The latest documents revealed: 1. The Grandiose Nazi plan for a Japanese attack on Vladivostok In the summer of 1941— before Pearl Harbor — and the Nazi hope that quick defeat of Russia would "paralyze any rising tendency in the United States to participate in the war.” 2. Japan delivered an "earnest protest" to Germany on Aug. 26. 1939. against tbe signing of the Nazi-Soviet pact, claiming It was tn contradiction to the secret annex of the anti-commlntern pact, 3. Tbe Japanese ambassador In Berlin double-crossed hi* own government by not formally placing its protest before the Nazi foreign office wbuiihe latter In -f-Trnsnrhim answer would be “ill-tempered." 4. The Nazi foreign office met Japan's demand in June. 19tn, after the fall of France, for help In getting Japanese control of Indo-China with a bill of particulars citing Japan's failure to cooperate with the Nazis. The Nazi foreign office accused Japan of submitting to English and French blockade controls, of i (-fusing transit of goods through Japan for Germany, of monopolizing Manchuria's soy In-an supply although Germany formerly was tbe largest importer; of refusing the return of the crew of tbe 8. 8. f'xdutnbus from America. The Nazi scheme for the Japanese attack on Russia—instead cf an attack on Pearl Harbor—was revealed in a telegram of
July I, 1941, from German foreign minister Joachim Von RibI bentrop to the German smhassaI dor in Tokyo for delivery to the Japanese foreign office. o — Russian Factory Heads Are Purged Ministry Os State Control In Purqe Moscow, June 26— (UPt —The Soviet press announced today a purge of factory directors, engineers and accountants throughout the country who have been taking production figures, receiving illegal bonuses, misappropriating factory fund* and coni verting state properly to personal use. The announcement was carried lln all of the central Moscow newspapers and reported that the ministry of state control was carrying out the purge and committing the directors, engineers and accountant* to trial. The report occupied three columns in the pres* and said that managers and accountants are la-ing purged in enterprises situated as far east as Tomsk- Siberia. The press reported that the "ministry of state control has examined the financial and economic activities of a number of enterprises, institutions and organizations." The examint lon was said to have disclosed the Illegal receipt of bonuses by some individuals and the misappropriation of factory funds and objects of value. The report cited a series of - -esses where —factory””*!! rector*, production managers and accountants conspired to fake production figures in order to gain Illegal bonuses. In other case* the Individuals simply misappropriated funds and articles. The announcement listed a whole series of cases uncovered by the Investigation. One case was that of the manager and production chief of the ' Russian diesel" plan who Increased the list prices on spare parts and the inventory prices on spare parts produced last year, thus enabling him to show- false production figures and distribute a big bonus. A second case concerned the managers of coal mine No 1 of the “Hhakln Coal Trust" who also faked their production records in order to boost bonuses.
Another cited was Ute engineer, manager and chief accountant of the Dnieprpetrovsk metallurgical equipment plant. This group fakcxl production figure* hy including In their returns equipment Which was made before the war.

He colored, "Who said there was one?"
“You did. Remember! *Let her have her fat 4F tables la peace.’ ’’ He stalled for a moment before ho shrugged and replied: “Just a phony.
