UPI Science Editor New York (UPI) A close study of 207 detached hearts revealed no more artery- hardening i n the hearts which had be longed to men with sit-down jobs than in those of men 5 whose jobs had kept them physically ac tive. This c o m- pllcates scientific efforts to get at the basic reasons for the common type of heart at tack which carries off so many men in their prime. It is a statistical fact that physi cally active men are less prone to these attacks than men who exercise their bodies but lit tle. This type of attack is caused by a persistent, long-term nar rowing of the arteries which nourish the heart muscles. Eventually not enough nour ishing blood can get through. There is a block and the at tack follows. This channel narrowing process is called artery-hardening. . And so you'd expect the heart arteries of physically inactive men to show a great er amount of hardening than those of physically active men of the same age. For the past few years Drs. David M. Spain and Victoria A. Bradess have been checking this expecta tion. Heart Checked First Working through the medi cal examiner's office of West chester county, N.Y., they were able to study the hearts of men who had been killed in accidents, homicides, and suicides. Only after the hearts had been assayed for degrees of artery-hardening, was there a check on the ages and occu pations of the men from whom the hearts had come. Of the 207 hearts included In the study which the scien tists reported to the American Heart association, 100 came from sit-down men - execu tives, accountants, clerks, chauffeurs, s t e n o g raphers. The other 107 had belonged to construction workers, gard eners, mail carriers, plumbers and other artisans. They were further classified by age. The years of life be tween 30 and 60 were divided into six 5-year periods, and in this way Drs. Spain and Brandess checked the degree of hardening of heart arteries as the years increased. As was expected, heart artery hardening was slowly but steadily progressive through the younger age groups up to the oldest. The unexpected was that there was no significant difference in degree of artery hardening between the slt-downers and the physically active men in any of the six age groups. This shouldn't be taken to mean that the statistical stud ies were wrong and lack of physical exercise has nothing to do with proneness to heart attack. The statistical con. elusions are well established and Drs. Spain and Bradess did not feel their results pro vided a basis for attacking them They suggested the answer to the apparent paradox was in "c o 1 1 a teral circulation Blood flow, since it is under pressure, can set up channels apart from the established ar teries and veins. The scien tists reasoned that the hearts of physically active men were better able to set up these auxiliary channels than those of the physically inactive. When the challenge of a severely hardened heart ar tery comes, the heart muscles of the active already have collateral vessels in the pro cess of developing, and so the challenge is met and there is no attack. Khrushchev Doing At UN To Receive Generous Coverage Birmingham, Ala. - (UPD - Assistant Secretary of State Andrew H. Berding says the American press, radio and television will give Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev's activities at the United Nations "more than generous" coverage and "this is as it should be." Berdine. who Is in charge of public affairs for the de partment, said "part or. our education is to know what our opponents do and think. Part of our strength as a democracy lies in our free dom of Information and dis cussion." His position was contrary to that advocated in some quar ters, where it has been sug gested that the U.S. press ig nore Khrushchev or give him the "silent" treatment. Berding challenged Russia p II l JI I ? I , I II M I. 'J.J "Xl' 'E"' .." I If.:- , i I mjm, ,.,5 ipv .1 In Fine Whiskey...

General Assembly "just one-tenth the coverage that American media will give to the address of Mr. Khrush chev. Even that would be a miraculous change of policy." Berding made his comments in a speech at the National Exchange club convention here. He chlded the Soviet gov ernment's refusal to permit the free flow of information into Russia, asking why the Red government was "so afraid to permit its people to have access to essential facts and opinions? "If, as the Soviet rulers say, Communism is so strong that eventually it will domi nate the world, can it not stand the light of fact and argument? Can It grow only in the mushroom cellar of a closed society, carefully Im mured against outside think ing?" Berding said Khrushchev undoubtedly intends to make the United Nations a "propa ganda sounding board" and will "try to get the most mile age out of his pronounce-, m e n t s, accusations, hashed over proposals and show busi ness." He said it was Ironical that the Russians should pose as great believers in the United Nations after having cast 89 vetoes in the Security Council and trying to block U.N. ob jectives in The Congo and elsewhere. He said Khrushchev also will take advantage of the fact that 19 new African na tions may be admitted to U.N. membership this year and "will undoubtedly pose as the champion of African independence and strew ac cusations of colonialism right and left, east, west, north and south." Warned To Remember But the American official warned the new African na tions to remember that Russia only promotes their indepen dence In order to prepare them for absorption into the Soviet bloc. He said Africans should re call that from the end of Pirechial Schools Suffer Growing Pains Washington - (UPD - Paro chial schools are suffering the same growing pains as public schools. Enrollment in Catholic ele mentary and high schools has approximately doubled since the end of World War II.' This fall it is expected to hit an all-time high of 5,280,000. The U.S. Catholic school system includes 10,278 ele mentary schools and 2,401 high schools. It is the largest private school system in the world, and educates about one-ninth of the nation's chil dren. Classroom and teacher shortages plague parochial schools no less than their pub lic counterparts. Indeed, in a number of communities, church - operated schools are even more overcrowded than public schools. Catholic elementary schools are staffed predominantly by nuns. Although the number of teaching sisters increased from 40,000 in 1020 to more than 76,000 this year, the rapid growth of enrollment has made it necessary for parochial schools to hire an increasing number of lay teachers. The proportion of lay teachers has grown each year, from 4.6 per cent of the total staff in 1949 to 29 per cent last year. Mainly in East Catholic high schools are concentrated mainly in the eastern states. Except for California, there are relative ly few from Kansas westward. There has been much dis cussion in Catholic churches lately about the desirability of concentrating the church's educational effort in grades 7 through 12 so that all Cath olic children could be given religiously - oriented training during the crucial adolescent years. More than half of the Catholic children of high school age now attend public schools. Catholic schools are financ ed entirely by private contri butions. No cost figures have been made public since 1954, but in that year the National Catholic Welfare Conference said $500,000,000 was spent on construction and $620,000,- 000 on operating expenses. Free bus transportation Is provided for parochial school students .in about one-third of the states. Some states also provide health services and a few supply textbooks. Minors Seek $7,000 In Damages Here Minors Janice Eileen Tor beck and Harold Lindsay Tor beck, Coos Bay, through their guardian, Nancy Torbeck, are seeking $7,000 in damages from H u I d a Skevlngton, Rogue River, as a result of an automobile accident on High way 99 at Scenic ave. Oct. 26, 1958, according to a complaint filed in Jackson county cir cuit court. The complaint charges that Hulda Skevlngton drove her car into an Intersection in front of the car in which the Torbeck children were riding without first stopping at a stop sign. Serious injuries re sulted to the two Torbeck chil dren, the guardian charges. Transient Sentenced To County Jail Term Francis Earl Mathcny, tran sient, was sentenced in dis trict court Monday to 16 oays in the county Jail for petty larceny. Matheny had pleaded guilty to the charge. Mathey was charged with taking a jacket belonging to Roberta Louise Forbes Aug. 30. World War II to 1960, the Soviet Union had enslaved about the same number of people as the old colonial powers had granted indepen dence. Berding, speaking of the Ideological clash between Rus sia and China, said it was "too soon to speak of any real po litical break between the two countries, but the seeds are sown." He rejected suggestions that the United States was "losing ground" overseas in the con test with Communism. H e acknowledged Red success In Cuba and The Congo but said that when one looked at the global picture as a whole there were "many reasons for encouragement." ., cimcn WHISKEY SO PROOF 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL PIRiTt 1:."
