Urges Non-Toxic Chemicals Used By DELOS SMITH • I PI Science Editor NEW YORK <UPD — On one hand there has been "a tremendous increase" in the number of toxic agents in the environment. On the other, there is an aging population in which the proportion of worktrtg persons with worn hearts is higher than ever before. In putting these two facts together Dr. Leon J. Warshaw thought it most remarkable there hadn’t been a correspondingly large increase in heart and vascular disease. The absence of

large increase is “‘an eloquent testimonial to the ability of the human heart to withstand insults,” he said. Warshaw was pointing especially to the multiplication of industrial chemicals whose poisonous aspects can be Inhaled or absorbed through the skin by persons within range. He included the organic phosphorous Insecticides which get into people the same way. Additional Heart Burdens,, Once inside people they put additional burdens on the heart and the blood circulation system generally, either directly or indirectly by affecting body chemistry or breathing function. In themselves the amounts absorbed may not be significant, Warshaw continued. But suppose 'me person absorb-

| ing these tiny amounts more or less daily has a worn or 4amagdd heart? Perhaps he hasn't actoftlly had a heart attack. Just the same, his heart can take less in added burdens than other hearts. Thus, these tiny amounts could eventually add up to the straw put on the camel’s back. Warshaw is well known In medical research and works at New York's Beth Israel Hospital. He was addressing himself to industrial physicians in particular and physicians in general through the Medical Science of the State of New York Population Aging The population is aging which means the incidence of heart wear must increase. Furthermore, he added, persons with arrested heart disease are less and

less deprived! of employment because of that. This requires doctors to be sharply aware of the large numbers of toxic agents which are around and of the added burden they can put on hearts. In industry he urged physicians to get together with engineers and chemists to substitute non-toxic chemicals for toxic ones wherever possible. When this wasn’t possible, physicians should Insist upon methods of use which would prevent people being exposed to tfiem, especially people with worn hearts. Cut Down Exposure "Just as it is able to withstand the stress of strenuous physical exercise, the normal heart generally is quite resistant to toxic exposures of a severity compatible with \he recovery of the victim,”

he said.

"The damaged heart, dn the other hand, is much more susceptible to Injury. Just as its capacity to support physical activity is diminished, its ability to resist the effects of toxic exposures of even relatively mild intensity may be impaired.” But .keep,in mind these “deleterious affects of various stresses on the heart are additive,” he said. The real answer is to keep as many toxic agents as possible out of the environment and to prevent people from being exposed to those agents which can’t be eliminated. w 32 Are Enrolled Al Fort Wayne Center Thirty-two people from Decatur are enrolled this summer in the Fort Wayne Center of Indiana University.

Favor German Girl As Miss Universe MIAMI BEACH <UPI) — A majority of the world’s most beautiful girls are convinced they will have to take a back seat to an electrical engineer from Germany ip the Miss Universe contest here.

In miniature trains and a variety of costumes, the beauties Monday night rolled down Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s celebrated showplace shopping street. Annual Battle Over Uncle Sam's Burial

WASHINGTON (UPI> — New York and Indiana rallied today for the annual congressional battle over where Uncle Sam is buried. On one side is Troy, N.Y. On the other is Merriam, Ind., a tiny town in Noble County northwest of Fort Wayne. Both sides have contended that Uncle Samuel Wilson is buried in their areas. Each says Wilson was a bearded character who gave birth to the national symbol of Uncle Sam. Each wants congressional recognition for the burial site. A Senate Judiciary subcommittee opens the hearings today to try to settle once and for all which town owns Wilson’s burial place. New York, led by Republican Sens. Jacob K. Kenneth B. Keating, and Rep. Leo O’Brien, a Democrat, said Uncle Sam was born in Arlington, Mass., in 1776 and buried in Troy in 1854. Rep. E. Ross Adair, R-Ind., claims Wilson was born in Wilmington, Del., in T 7781 and buried in Merriam in 1865. Both sides agree that Uncle Sam worked in a Trty area for a contractor named Elbert Anderson, a meat supplier for the Army. ~ ~ On each barrel of meat was stamped the letters —“E.A.-U.S.” The E.A. stood for Elbert Anderson and the U.S. for United States. But the U.S. later became associated with “Uncle Sam” Wilson, as he was called by Troy children. And so the legend grew. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want Ads!

Prisoner Escapes Perry County Jail CANNELTON, Ind. (UPI) — A man who once escaped from the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton made good an escape from Perry County Jail Monday when a key was left in a door. William G. Sandage, 33, Canneltonr who was being held on a first degree burglary charge, fled into thick woods after he opened a bullpen door with the key that was left in it and went out an open main door. Deputies said Sandage and two other prisoners tried to escape the jail last Friday after cutting through a stone wall. Mrs. William Falls, wife of the Perry County sheriff, said she saw a man in the hall but didn’t realize it was Sandage until later. The prisoners were placed in the bullpen while plumbing work was bing done in the jail. Roadblocks and a search in the woods east of here was futile Monday night for Sandage, who was awaiting arraignment in Perry Circuit Court. He was on parole from Indiana State Prison for vehicle-taking. Deputies said the man has admitted several burglaries at Cannelton and Paoli. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Patrolman Awaits Hospital Release LEON, lowa (UPI) — An lowa highway patrolman, who had a “feeling” something was going to happen several hours before he was kidnaped, today awaited his hospital release. v Robert Wilke, 31, Chariton, gave a detailed account of his two-day disappearance to state Safety Commissioner ,<#rl Pesch. He told of being overpowered by two men when he stopped to offer assistance to an apparently stranded motorist near Lucas early Saturday, only minutes before ending his regular tour of duty. Wilke, who staggered into a farmhouse near Lamoni Sunday night, said a third man in the party apparently drove the car on a long, silent trip of several hundred miles. They stopped for a time, apparently in a large city, and he was held captive in an air-conditioned room. Then came the return trip when he was “pushed or kicked” out of the car along the lowaMissouri border south of Lamoni. He said his hands were bound and he was blindfolded throughout the period of his capture. During the nearly 48 hours, Wilke said he heard only one word when one 'of his captors shouted, “Kelly.” Mrs. Wilke, accompanied by the couple’s three children, visited Wilke at the hospital here. She said he had a "premonition” when he left for work last Friday night that “something was going to happen.” She said her husband frequently has “hunches” but never worried about the possible dangers involved in his job.
