The newspaper Al Ahram said industrial equipment be ing supplied by Russia to both the Syrian and Egyptian re gions of the United Arab Re public would be slashed by 15 per cent.

Tranquilizer Halts Mixed-Up Animal New York (IP- A tranquil izing powder was credited to day with ending a , six-day, non-stop swim around Coney Island Aquarium pool by a mixed-up harp seal. The rare, two-month-old seal had disdained food and sleep during the marathon whirl in which it apparently believed it was en route to summer quarters in the north. Friday the seal was calmed by a tranquilizer, slept three hours on a cement island in the pool and then feasted on five squid, a seal delicacy. MEDFORD Tribune 2nd SECTION Pages 1 to 6 Narrowing of Heart Arteries Possible at High Altitudes By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York OP) A top au thority acknowledges that medical science doesn't know r jmVGrm enough to say f positively that r f - " J healthy per sons can fly in jet airliners at 40.000 feet w i t h o ut the slightest risk of .heart attacks. Deios smith Presid ent Eisenhower has approved the purchase of three of the high flying jet transports, which are to make their appearance on the airlines next year, for the use of himself and other high government officials. Dr. Philip Lisan, when asked of he thought persons without symptoms of heart disease, can fly at the high jet plane altitudes without worry ing about attacks, replied: "Yes, I believe so on the basis of what we know at present. Of coorse, one must consider predisposing factors." Narrowing of Arteries He turned to the results of an anatomical study made in 1953 of 300 young Americans killed in action in Korea. All had been apparently healthy, yet 65 per cent showed a "sig nificant" amount of narrow ing of one of the major heart arteries. "Now this is a disturbing thing," he continued. Any in dividual may have a signifi cant narrowing of heart arter ies, as the study showed. "Does that make us good risks at high altitudes?" asked Dr. Lisan. "I don't know and I don't know anybody who does. The whole subject needs a great deal more study. The Air Force is interested and medical schools are interested. The Army is interested be cause of its concern with shock. What they lack is money, and it's very impor tant to all of us that this lack be overcome." Lisan. is former chief of medicine and cardiology at the Strategic Air Command at Fort Worth, Tex., and now is a member of the faculty at Hahnemann Hospital Medical School, Philadelphia. He is an accepted , authority on avia tion physiology. He was giv ing his opinions in an inter view with the technical publi cation, "Pulse and Pressure." He was positive in his opin ion that flying does not cause any "wear and tear" on the heart and its arteries and veins. But there definitely is such a thing as an "altitude reaction." High flying air planes have "pressurized" cabins, of course, but the air pressure maintained in them is not the same as that of ground level but rather the lesser pressure of 4,000 to 5,000 feet of altitude, he said. The "altitude reaction" is not precisely definable but it "in volves some alteration in car diac output," he said. Most people never have it, but some do. He approved of the special precautions that will be taken on mgn-iiying et liners in case of a sudden failure of air pressure one member of the flying crew will wear an oxy gen mask at all times and oxy gen masks with oxygen "run ning" will drop in front of all passengers automatically. "This is important, you see, because at the altitude these jets fly, you can't live more than three minutes at the low pressure," he said. "If one man is conscious and able to act, however there shouldn't be any difficulty because the plane can be brought down to a tolerable altitude in a mat ter of seconds. "I should say, though, that these precautions aren't going to be much help for the pa tient with coronary artery dis ease, because he can't tolerate even a few seconds of decompression." ILLINOIS VALLEY Committees Appointed BY RUTH RAUSCH Cave Junction Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce named two work committees at the meeting of the board Tuesday noon at the Todelope cafe.
