They explored the progress made to date toward some type of work ing agreement with Russia on a dependable start in the reduc tion of concentional or non-nuclear arms and the inauguration of an international inspection system. - Diseases of Arteries of Brain Cause Wide Variety of Symptoms ... . ... .... . . . . t ..t:.t. . j ...i ii j. .I, a Editor's Note: Tha "fiv treat kill ert." the theaiei that account for the greatest mortality rate among adult Americans, are heart disease, cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, penumonia-in- flueneza and diabetes. The United Press asked five out standing authorities in those fields to write a simplified account of the causes, symptoms, treatment, preven tion and possibility of conquering the "killers." By EDGAR V. ALLEN. M.D. President, American Heart Association and Senior Consultant in Medicine, Mayo Clinic. Rochester, Minn. Written for United Press DISEASES OF THE ARTERIES OF THE BRAIN There are no accurate and re liable figures on the number of deaths caused by diseases of ar teries of the brain each year in the United States. A fair esti- mate.however, would seem to be about 100,000. In addition, there art an estimated 1,500,000 per sons in the United States who are victims of such diseases, which cause tremendous disa bility, economic loss and sorrow.

Reports reaching here said the replica of the Pilgrims' ship was "really moving" at last on its voyage to the United States. In the 60 hours since it cast off from Plymouth en route to Massachusetts, the Mayflower had been unable to move faster than three knots. But the wind now has veered to north north east and increased to force three a figure estimated at 12 to 14 knots. Albany Gas Plant Explosion Rocks City Albany, Ore. (U.R) An ex plosion at the Albany gas com pany destroyed the headquarters and display room shortly after the 5:30 pan. closing time Mon day. . ; The explosion occurred at ap proximately 5:37 p.m. just min utes after the 10 to 12 employees had quit for the day. No one was injured in the explosion. The force of the explosion was felt all over Albany and the Pa cific highway that runs in front of the building was covered with plate glass. 1 The chief diseases which may impair circulation to the brain are high-blood pressure and hardening of the arteries. These diseases cause a wide variety of symptoms. The most common is "stroke" or "apoplexy," char acterized by paralysis of vari able degrees of the arm and leg on one side of the body, freq uently associated with inability of the victim to speak normally. The degree of paralysis varies greatly; it may last a few min utes or it may be more or less permanent. Another symptom is loss of vision, but this loss ordi narily is transient. Some people experience loss of consciousness and other give evidence of pro gressive deterioration of mental faculties. The most common diseases of arteries of the brain can be pre sented adequately only when the precise causes of high-blood pressure and hardening of the arteries have been determined accurately and when adequate prevention can be carried out. is not available today. This ob servation emphasizes the great need for intensive research, much of which is currently sup ported by the American Heart Association to the amount of several millions of dollars. More money and more trained per sonnel are needed for more in tensive investigation. Although the cause of high blood pressure in most cases is not known, medical and surgical control of high-blood pressure proves to be satisfactory in most instances when it is carried out by a skilled physician or surgeon and a cooperative patient. Accumulating Evidence The problem of treatment of hardening of the arteries is in a much less satisfactory state, but medical science is accumulating evidence which gives genuine progress in the attack on this Lparticular disease also. There. is considerable evidence, for in stance, that hardening of the arteries is not an inevitable re sult of accompaniment of the process of growing older. Because many of the complica tions of hardening of the arteries in the brain result from the for mation of a blood clot on the dis eased lining of the arteries, the use of drugs which lessen' the tendency of blood to clot fre quently is very helpful. . Much has been written about the alleged direct' relationship of the content of fat in the diet to hardening of the arteries, but the evidence to support such a relationship is far from con vincing, at least thus far.

Rehabilitation Program When a patient has had "apo plexy," an active program of rehabilitation ordinarily can do much to improve usefulness of the arms and legs and the ability to speak. No one can predict whether or not all the problems relating to high-blood pressure and hard ening of the arteries can be solved, but the results of re search now give us reason for optimism. Let us never forget, however, that if research is in adequate, there cannot be satis factory progress. Ike Summons Mitchell For Labor Conference Augusta, Ga. (U.R) President-Eisenhower has summoned Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell to a conference here Thursday on legislation the ad ministration may recommend to protect union funds from rack eteering. James C. Hagerty, Eisenhow er's press secretary, said the President and the cabinet mem ber would consider legislation for recommendation to this ses sion of Congress.

Water Department Starts Work on Southeast Main Medford water department crews started work Monday on installation of 7,500 feet of 24 inch water main in southeast Medford, according to Robert Lee, water superintendent. The water main, estimated to cost about $112,000, will be located on Modoc ave., East Main st., White Oak drive, Acron Way and Black Oak drive between Capitol ave. and Barneburg hill, Lee said. The water main is part of a project which will be completed in the next two years. About three-fourths of the project will be constructed w i t h in two months, he said. ' The new water main will pro- i vide water service for approxi1- mately 1,000 acres near the new Rogue Valley hospital and Barn eburg hill area, and to serve as a feeder main for a future res ervoir on Barneburg hill, Lee said. The new water main also will reinforce the south side feeder main system and will provide ad ditional capacity to the south west portion of the city, accord ing to Lee. About 400 more cust omers in southwest Medford will be served, he added. When completed the water main also will serve the Country Club Manor, area, near Rogue Valley Country club, and the Rogue Valley Manor retirement home planned for construction on Barneburg hill, Lee said. The new water main, an ex tension of the Big Butte Springs BROTHER reveals missing sister, wealthy Evelyn Scott, made her husband benefici ary in her will. He is E. Ray mond Throsby. (International) Historical Society Bill Clears House Salem (U.R) The Oregon House has passed and sent -to the Senate an 886,300 appropria tion for the Oregon Historical Society despite objections . of some members who said it was too high. 1 - The vote was 33-26.

Traffic Counters Placed in Medford Traffic counters have been placed on west side Medford streets for the past three weeks as part of state highway depart ment traffic volume survey, ac cording to John H. Barlow, traf fic survey supervisor, state traf fic engineering departm ent, Salem. - Barlow said the traffic survey was in connection , with a ' pro ject to determine the orgin of traffic volume increases and shifts in city population. For the next three weeks the survey will be taken on east Medford streets, completing the survey he said. The traffic official added that similar surveys were being taken in most Oregon cities. When tha survey is completed, he said, the state highway department will compile traffic volume figures and distribute findings to cities involved. Barlow said the same survey is taken every four years when new figures are compared with previous " traffic counts. During the four-year period other traffic surveys will be taken on county roads and state highways, he said.
