Arm Price Cuts
Given Republic
Cairo (IP) United Arab
Republic President Gamal Ab
del Nasser's trip to Moscow
has paid off in the form of
price cuts for Russian arms
and industrial equipment,
Cairo newspapers report.
The reports, front-paged the
morning after Nasser's return
from the Soviet Union, said
he had reached agreement
with Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev on the price cuts.
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.
Russia's industrial loan to
Egypt concluded last Novem
ber, totalled 175 million dol
lors. The exact amount of a
similar loan to Syria has not
bn disclosed. Both loans
Ver negotiated before the
to countries merged.
Cairo newspapers also re
ported that the two leaders
had agreed on a "large reduc
tion" in installments being
paid for Soviet arms..

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.

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."
