Counsel Bill
Florence Reed Cook, candidate
for state representative, will
submit a bill to provide profes
sional counseling services for
problem children and adults in
Lane County, if she is elected
Nov. 2, she told the Register-Guard.
Mrs. Cook, whose campaign
has been mostly on problems of
mental health and correction,
said school statistics bear out
the need for such services.
Details of the bill she intends
to introduce have not been
worked out, she said, but indi
cated it would provide a stale-
supported service for Lane
County and other counties wish

A 1953 survey, she said, says

Doctors Attend
Heart Meeting
Three Eugene doctors last
week attended the annual heart
disease symposium in San Fran
cisco. They and 800 other heart
specialists heard talks by the
world's foremost authorities.
The local doctors were H. R.
Allumbaugh, W. I. Holcomb and
T. A. McKenzie.
They heard Dr. Viking Olof
Bjork of Stockholm tell of his
new, sate method nf measuring
blond pressure inside the left
ventricle, formerly difficult or
impossible. Using a local anesthe
tic on the proper spot on the
back, he pushes a hollow needle
right through into the heart. It
is completely painless, Dr. Bjork
said.
Sir Russell Brock of Guy's Hos
pital in London said heart ope
ration's now are as common as
gall-bladder operations in Eng
land. Some arc as routine as ap
pendectomies, he said. Dr. Brock
has done more than 80 heart operations.
Dr. Pedro Cossio of Buenos
Aires explained his techniques in
use of the electrocardiograph.
and Dr. Rene Malinow spoke on
the relation of fatty diets to
hardening of the arteries.
Dr. F. H. Smik of New Zea
land said that drugs now avail
able will lower blood pressure
for 98 per cent of the heart patients.
One of the speakers was an
Oregonian, Dr. Charles Dotter of
the University of Oregon medical
school, who described a new
heart x-ray technique.
