New Heart Operation May Prove
Surgical Solution For Angina
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
NEW YORK (UPI) A brand
new heart operation points to
ward a surgical solution for an
gina pectoris, a disease which
causes disabling chest pains when
the ' victim exerts himself and
thus makes countless cardiac
cripples.
' When the herat muscle doesn't
get enough blood to meet the im
mediate demands being made
upon it, you have angina pec
toris. But what causes these pass
ing failures in blood supply to the
muscle is a matter for scientific
argument. Some authorities list
angina pectoris as a psychoso
matic disease.
,,i,The new operation is based on
the premise that in the severe
form of the disease one or more
of the three major branches of
the main heart artery has been
plugged entirely by the fatty sub
stances which cause "hardening"
of the arteries.
Three professors of the Univer
sity of California Medical School
to correct such a situation (if it
existed) by the most direct
means possible. 'I'he surgeon ex
poses the heart, looks at and
feels the arterial branches where
they connect with the main heart
artery, and removes the plug if
one is found.
They have tried the operation
on five men whose angina pec
toris had made them cripples. In
all five they found arterial plugs
and removed them. One died of
surgical complications. The other
four have been greatly improved
and one even has a part-time job
' In reporting to the New Eng
land Journal of Medicine, Dr
William P. Longmire Jr., profes
sor of surgery, Dr. Jack A. Can
non, associate professor, and Dr.
Albert A. Kattus, associate pro
lessor 01 cardiology, made no
claim for the operation beyond
their proof that it is "technically
feasible lo re-establish blood flow

NavyApproves
Marriage
LONDON (UPI) The U.S. Navy
has decided that the marriage
of one of its young sailors and a
14-yeafold American girl was leg
al. The Navy expressed hope the
couple would be permitted to
spend a normal and happy life
v while in England.
, The decision ended for the mo
ment a tempest in a teapot created
when Navy Electrician 3C Norman
Scurggs, 21, St. Mary's Ga., was
assigned to duty here and was
joined by his child bride, Barbara,
White Plains, Va., last Saturday.
They were married in llalifux
County, - N.C., on Sept. 20 when
Barbara passed herself off as 18.
But the British thought her too
young for marriage,
c A member of tho British Parli
ament ' wanted tho couplo sent
home. Newspapers gave the now
lywedD bigger headlines than' Vice
President Richard M. Nixon, and
there was general indignation in
a country where under British law
a man infringes on the Sexual Of
fenses Act of 1956 by marrying a
girl under 16.
But the Navy checked the case
and decided for the Scruggs.
"It appears that the marriage Is
legal," a Navy spokesman said.
John D. Cummins
Funeral Rites Set
John Danial Cummins, 60, re
tired logger of North Powder died
in a local hospital Sunday. '
Funeral services will be held in
Dempsey-Snodgrass Funeral Chap
el tomorrow at 2 p.m. Lt. Oakly
Summers will officiate. Burial will
bo in North Powder Cemetery.
Mr. Cummins was born In Hnil-
ey, Ida., April 24, 1878 and had
been a resident of Union county for
25 years.
Survivors Include widow Ellen
and step son Avlie Umptirey,
North Powder; mother, Lula Cum
mins, and one brother, Frank of
iilgin and one sister, Tillie Farm
er, California. Six grandchildren
also survive.
With the Colors
have to be performed on a much
larger number of patients and the
benefits will have to be proven to
be lasting. Their four surviving
patients are only a year or less
away from their operations.
None of the several operations
now used to increase blood flow i j
to tne nearc muscie, is gooa
enough to have been generally
accepted by surgeons, they. point
ed out. It seemed to them that
the best procedure would be to
remove any obstructions from the
heart arteries directly. This is
done routinely in blocked arteries
which are near the surface. Ther.
why not in heart arteries?
They invented two surgical
tools with which to open arterial
branches at their junctures with
the main heart artery, and re
move any obstructing core. Since
it was doubtful that techniques
could cope with such surgery in
an artery under the pressure of
a heart artery, the operation was
first tried and proved in labora
tory animals.
Compromise Seen

WASHINGTON (UPI) Reports
circulated today the- Army has

2,100 other Army scientists at
-luntsville, Ala.,- and Pasadena,
Calif. The Army strenuously ob
