Strong Emotion May Cause One To Faint Science Produces Evidence On Faint By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - Science has produced evidence that a strong emotion like fear can squeeze the heart and thus cause a faint. The scientists who produced it spoke especially of brides and grooms who faint on “the altar steps." However, they got their evidence not from brides and grooms but from men undergoing another frightening experience—men who were in dental chairs having a tooth or two pulled out. Emotion Can Do It The faint has scientific fascination. Often emotion alone sets off the dramatic physical event —

person collapses, unconscious. If people’s minds and bodies were less tightly tied together,' that kind of faint would never happen. Put how are they tied together for fainting purposes? The scientists with the newest word, which amounts to a new theory, said there was something in the grandmother way of preventing a faint. Grandmothers are always telling brides: “Get a grip on yourself, dear, and you won't even feel giddy.” Prof. E. P. Sharpey-Schafer and his associates, C. J. Hayter and E. D. Harlow, began their investigation with the established , physical fact of the faint—there is a sudden drop in blood pressure. This pressure is created by the resistance of surface blood vessel to the output strokes of the heart. There has to be pressure if the blood is to keep moving. If the movement is impeded, there is a faint. Comes The Fall By measurements of blood flow fearful in men about to lose teeth, they established that the

contracting or squeezing phase of the heart beat was greatly intensified. A the same time, blood vessels were enlarged’, offering less resistance to a more powerful heart stroke. The men in which this happened, lost blood pressure and fainted. Fear so stimulated the squeeze part of the heart beat, that one heart chamber was virtually emptied of blood, they reasoned. This fired a reflex along nerve pathways which widened the diameter of blood vessels, and slowed .the re-filling of the heart chamber. Thus, the raint. But swooning entails falling and failling puts other nerve pathways into play which ups the blood pressure and restores consciousness. Merely tensing the muscle will do about the same thing, they said—hence the soundness of the grandmothery idea that "getting a grip on yourself” is a preventive.

CALIFORNIA Continued from imKe 1-A June from Rep. Clair Engle, 46. Recent polls and surveys show veteran campaigner Knight gaining on Engle but the distinct Democratic tired in the primary and in late voter registration puts Engle in the favorite’s role. Both President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon campaigned hard in California in the past month in an effort to bolster the GOP cause. Knight originally announced he would run again for governor but pulled out of that race when Knowland took aim at the same target Knight never has endorsed Knowland nor supported him in the campaign although the senator has blessed Knight and the entire Republican slate. Both major Republican candidates are on opposite sides of the fence on the controversial right-to-work initiative on the Nov. 4 ballot The proposal would outlaw the union shop and Is the keystone of Knowland’s campaign for “union democracy’’ and labor union reforms. Knight sides with Brown, Engle and the rest of the Democratic ticket in opposition to right-to-work. Trade in a good town — Decatur.
