Ulcer Victims Will Become VA Beneficiaries
By JERRY BENNETT
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON iNEA) Three
million American peptic ulcer vic
tims eventually will benefit from a
gigantic medical research program
sponsored by the Veterans Admin
istration which begins Sept. 1.
Doctors in 14 VA hospitals
throughout the country will keep
detailed case histories on ulcer pa
tients for several years. They want
to determine which of many ulcer
medicines and diets work best on
specific patients for faster and
more frequent cures.
This two-pronged investigation
headed by Dr. .Morton Crossman
of Los Angeles and Dr. R. W. Post
lethwait of Durham, N. C, will be
the largest ever undertaken on the
severe digestive ailment. It follows
a current VA study which has been
confined to the best surgical tech
niques for ulcer operations during
the last three years.
The importance of the medical
research program is reflected in
Public Health Service statistics;
they show that there are seven
times as many ulcer victims today
as tnere were Za years ago.
Ulcers are erosions of tissue.
They can be miscroscopic in size
or as large as lour incites in ui
ameter.
Dr. Lyndon E. Lee Jr., VA ulcer
expert, says that peptic ulcers fall
into two categories, gastric and
duodenal. The first strikes the in
side of the stomach lining. The
other attacks the upper portion of
the small intestime, the duodenum,
which is attached to the stomach
Both are thought to be caused
by an increased flow of digestive
juices. In an ulcer victim, these
fluids are present even when there
is no food to digest. So the fluids
begin to eat away the intestinal or
stomach lining.
Victims suffer from cramps, nau
sea, and a gnawing feeling in the
stomach. In some cases, severe
hunger is the only early symptom
In others, patients have none of
these symptoms: thev don't (lis
cover their ulcers until they arc
given physical examinations.
Nobody knows for sure what
stimulates the increased amounts
of digestive acids. Most doctors
however, blame stress.
They believe that worry caused

ULCER complications can necessitate surgery
by emotional pressure activates the
nerves which regulate digestive
juice glands. Thus, constant worry
produces a continuous flow of juic
es which may eventually cause an
ulcer.
A second theory claims ulcers
are inherited. A third holds that
they are caused by a reduction in
the blood supply to the somach or
intestine.
Doctors treat the majority of ul
cer cases with special diets and
medicines that counter-act stomach
acids. Diets consist of bland foods.
Highly seasoned foods tend to sti
mulate the digestive juice produc
tion. The same is true of liquors
coffee and tobacco.
Dr. Lee says that most patients
vho maintain proper diets and take
Uieir medicines can be cured. Those
who don't often find themselves in
serious trouble and need surgery
Four types of ulcer complications
require surgery, iney are:
A hole in the stomach or intes
tinal wall made by the digestive
juices.
Erosion of large arteries located
near the stomach which can pro
duce internal bleeding.
Too much scar tissue on a heal-

NEW YORK (AP)-A new stock
exchange is on the drawing
boards. It reverses a trend of re
cent years when several smaller
exchanges combined on a regional
basis.
The National Slock Exchange,
which hopes to get going here by
the end of the year to deal in
shares at present unlisted else
where, will be the first entirely
new one since the Securities and
Exchange Commission was set up
in 1934. It will make 13 now regis
tered by that agency. There are
four unregistered exchanges.
The new exchange will start
small with probably only a dozen
stocks listed. It will offer little
threat to the business of the older
exchanges. The New York Stock
Exchange has stocks of 1,141 com-
nanies listed and in 1959 did 84
per cent of all trading on the reg
istered exchanges. The American
Stock exchange has aoout boo
listed, expects 100 new ones this
year for tne Diggest year since
the SEC took over. In 1959 it did
9.4 per cent of the national busi
ness. Wall Street Skeptical
Stocks listed on the newest ex
change will come from among the
8.000 or more now traded over the
counter. And dealers in that flour
ishing business question whether
the National Exchange will put
much of a crimp in their trade.
Skeptics in Wall Street wonder
why companies now unlisted on
other exchanges would want to
list on the new outfit, especially
since its requirements are roughly
the same as those of the American
Stock Exchange. But officers of
the newcomer say they have a
sizable list of applicants and are
accepting only a fraction of them.
Minimum requirements on the
National Exchange narrow the list
to companies with assets of $1
million, with 150,000 common
shares in the hands of 500 hold
ers. The American Exchange re
quires at least 500 public owners
(not counting those in manage
ment) of at least 100,000 outstand
ing shares.
The New York Stock Exchange
minimum is 1.500 holders of 400,
000 common shares of a company
with net income of $1 million and
assets of $8 million.
Quick Expansion Foreseen
All exchanges, including the
newcomer, have committees that
dig much deeper than that into
the affairs of a corporation before
listing its stock.
Trading on the National Ex
change will be on a floor now be
ing prepared in the building of
its sponsor, the Mercantile Ex
change, which trades in commodi
ties. The Mercantile's nationwide
network of 81 tickers will carry
the quotations. National Exchange
officers expect the network will
expand rapidly when stock quota
tions are added.
Commissions charged on the
new exchange will be roughly the
same as on the other two in New
York.
