Vitamin P Believed Simple
Answer To the 'Little Stroke1
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York - tUPD - If the
"little stroke" is due to minute
leakages in the smallest blood
vessels of the
brain - and if
vitamin P is a
substance with
which the
body repairs
this "fragili-
ty" in the
' smallest blood
vessels - then
Deios smith easy and sim
ple answer to the "little
stroke."
Dr. Ben E. McConnell, of
the Bio-Research Institute of
Florida Southern College,
Lakeland, contends that both
propositions are true and has
so reported to the American
Geriatrics Society. He feels he
has demonstrated it in 89 per
sons who had had one to four
"little strokes."
These 89 were treated daily
with pills made up of vitamin
P combined with ascorbic
acid (which is vitamin C) -and
for long periods of time.
Only three of the 89 had
another "little stroke" and
there were no deaths among
them.
McConnell compared these
with 62 other persons who had
experienced a "little stroke."
Their medications did not In
clude vitamin P. Among these
62, there were 18 cases of
severe stroke, with five fa
talities, and 12 more "little
strokes."
Leads to Serious Trouble
It was his contention the
"little stroke" often leads to
the "big stroke" which if not
fatal produces permanent
paralysis of some degree.
Some authorities believe
the "little stroke" is due to a
passing spasm in blood vessels
of the brain, he said, and add
ed that in his opinion medical
science has "proved beyond
doubt" this is not so. The
cause, he said, was "minute
hemorrhages from small blood
vessels - arterioles and capillaries."
Vitamin P is the name
given to a group of water
soluble compounds, the bio
flavonoids, which are abun
dant in the peel of citrus
fruits. A number of medical
scientists have contended for
some time that they are po
tent "anli - fragility factors"
for blood vessels. Other medi
cal scientists have stated this
proposition has not been
proved.
Blockage Nullifies Effect
McConnell said the cause of
"stroke" governed whether
or not vitamin P (combir.ed
with ascorbic acid) could or
could not prevent a repetition.

If the stroke is due to a block
age in a brain blood vessel, it
would be of no use.
The brain is a veritable net
work of tiny blood vessels, he
said, and "this emphasizes the
vital role which the cerebral
capillaries play in restoration
of the collateral circulation of
injured tissue."
Post - mortem examinations
have shown that blockages are
"relatively rare phenomena in
little strokes, and that capil-
lary bleeding is the true and
most frequent cause of this
condition." Therefore, if any
"repairing of these structural
defects" is possible, it's the
thing to do.
Of course, if the brain hem
orrhage is large, there is
"little chance to save the pa
tient." McConnell recalled the
death of the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and said FDR had
six "little strokes" over eight
years before he had the big
one.
Mrs. Claudia G.-My aunt
suffered two losses and can't
snap out of her mourning.
Mrs. Mathilda R.-lt s easy
to talk. Claudia has her fam-
ly and can't understand.
Claudia G.-It's awful to
look on and watch a beautiful
talented woman let herself go
to pot. Aunt Mattie is an
excellent pianist, a whiz at
chess, and one of the few
women who understands
bookbinding - a hobby she
picked up from her late hus
band. But for half a year,
now, she has sat looking at
old letters, old pictures, old
souvenirs, as though she can
turn back time and bring back
the two she loved most, and
lost within the same year.
Her sister was among the
victims in a plane crash about
a year ago. She was just pull
ing herself together from that,
when Uncle Leo died several
months later. (He was my fa
ther s brother.) They had no
children and, since they were
both such alert and "hep"
relatives, I've always been
close to them.
But now I can't get through
to my aunt. Nor can her doc
tor or pastor. She says her
usefulness is over, takes no
interest in her health or ap
pearance. The doctor warns
that her depression may lead
to physical symptoms. He
wants her to get some psyco-
therapy at the counseling cen
ter in the university here
However, she refuses to go.
Mathilda R.-Claudia means
well, but how can she know
what I'm going through? She
has a loving husband who's
home each evening, and
houseful of beautiful children
to keep her busy and happy
My husband and I were every
thing to each other for 40
years, like one person inside
two bodies.
i naa nis wonacrtul com
fort and support last year
when my dear baby sister,
Lily, was snatched away in
that terrible airplane tragedy.
He helped me accept that cruel
diow and i realized, more
than ever, how much I needed
him at my side. Then to lose
him, and after a minor opera
tion, all so suddenly! That
was the last straw for me.
There's nothing but the past
for me to cling to now. My
ears and brains listen to
Claudia, but my heart doesn't.
And I can't put my heart into
a new life, until I find an
answer, an explanation for
what happened to the old life
that was so perfect.
The Council: If Mrs. R.
were really "one with her
late husband, why isn't she
working harder than ever
now, trying to do the work
of both? The highest honor
one can pay a departed loved
one is to try to replace him,
to use one s energies to carry
on in his behalf and in his
name.
Mrs. R.'s husband and sister
would not be proud of her
capitulation to despair. An
end to self-pity and inward
ness! An end to the waste of
strength, health, and talent
in a useless cauldron of bitterness!
Claudia's dismay is timely
and justified. Her pep-talks,
however, may have to be rein
forced by professional coun
seling to catapult Aunt Mattie
out of the deep blue funk she's
caught in. She must be helped

Berkeley, Calif.-IUPII-For the
past month, says Sarah Gray
son, "I've dreamed every
night of being murdered."
The 20-year-old University
of California coed told United
Press International that she
had learned during a Christ
mas visit to her parents in
Mississippi of a plot against
her life.
Was Key Witness
Tuesday, in Meridian,
Miss., former college student
Jon Mattox, 21, was indicted
on charges of trying to hire
jailmates to kill Miss Gray
son. The coed was the key
witness whose testimony
helped convict Mattox of
murder.
The attractive brunette said
she had been informed thafi
authorities had intercepted a
Christmas card containing in
structions on how she was to
be killed.
She said the killers were
to go to her door and shoot
her three times. She said that
when she heard this she was
struck "as if by a thunder
bolt" because Mattox had
once told her that "If you
didn't kill something three
times you can't be sure it's
dead."
Miss Grayson said Mattox
wanted "to get me out of the
way" so she could not testify
against him in a new trial in
case the Mississippi Supreme
Court reverses his conviction
and life sentence.
Pistol in Drawer
She said that since she had
returned to Berkeley from
Mississippi she had kept a pis
tol in her drawer.
Since learning of the al
leged plot, she said, "I've
dreamed every night of being
murdered." Her weakness
brought on the flu, and she
spent two weeks in bed.
Miss Grayson said she never
went out alone at night, and
inspected every visitor by
peeking through the blinds.
12-20:40
try irr;v'fflt
to change her lament of,
"Look what's happened to
I me!" into an offer of, "Look
what I can still do for you,
Claudia, and for old and new
friends!"
No one claims, Mrs. R., that
life can ever be the same. May-
be you'll never be your "old
sen, Decause wui sen aiea
with Leo, you feel. But life
can certainly be worthwhile,
and your new self can become
a beautiful legacy bequeathed
to the world by your inspir
ing deceased.
Keep busy. It's the busiest
who bear up best under mis
fortune. Welcome old friends,
seek new ones. There are jobs
at home and abroad to tire
you physically and stimulate
you mentally.
As far as your dead are
concerned, take comfort from
the words of Walter C. Brown
in a recent short story: "No
body really dies as long as
they're held fast in someone's
memory. Only the forgotten
are really dead." In this sense,
your husband and sister are
alive.
Meanwhile, heed Claudia
and your doctor. Make the
most of today. Use it to start
a new life, in tribute to those
you love who have no such
priceless opportunity.

Identity Cards
For Liquor OK'd
Salem -iUPI- A bill to do
away with individual liquor
purchase permits in Oregon,
iujiu.iiig uit'iii Willi luuimii-1
cation cards for persons 21 to
25 years old, has won uniini
mous approval from the Sen
ate Alcoholic Control commit
tee.
The identification cards,
bearing pictures, would be re
quired to prevent liquor sales
to juveniles. They would also
be available to persons over
25 who wanted them.
The cards would be issued
free.
Loss to the state from the
present SL permit fees would
amount to about $310,000 an
nually, now split between
cities and the state's general
fund.-
Witnesses predicted the loss
would be more than made up
through increased liquor sales
to tourists over 25, and
through a decrease in juvenile
enforcemenl problems.
The change was proposed
by the Oregon Liquor Control
commission, .who would issue
the new cards.

"Your grandchildren
will grow up under
Communism!"
says NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV
Will the Soviet threat come true? Will your grandchildren live under Communism? Forget God? Salute the Soviet flag?
"Never!" you say. But are you sure? How can you oppose Communism? One sure way is to help Radio Free Europe.
The voice is that of Nikita Khrushchev.
The audience is American.
' Your grandchildren will grow up under Communism "
he shouts.
Do you believe that?
Will your grandchildren live in barracks with their
hair shaved'.' Forget God? Salute the Soviet flag?
"Never!" you say. But are you sure?
What can you do to oppose Communism?
Help Radio Free Europe.
What does it do?
Every day, to 79 million captive people behind the
Iron Curtain, it broadcasts the plain truth . . .
religious services . . . folk songs they love . . .
the real news of the outside world.
It helps keep these 79 million people from turning
to Communism. The Poles, Czcchoslovakians,
Bulgarians, Rumanians and Hungarians. v
It keeps alive their friendship for America.
Broadcasting from 28 transmitters . . . manned by
escapees from Communism ... it reaches over 90
of these people, despite Communist jamming.
Thousands of smuggled letters echo the same plea:
"God fllcsx You I fleasc keep Radio Free Europe
on the air!"
These 79 million people are vital to the cause
of freedom.
They are the buffers between Russia and the
l-ree World.
They help tic up 30 Russian divisions, stationed
to prevent uprisings.
They pose a major obstacle to the Russians
starting any war.
And they depend on Radio Fret Europe. It is their
strongest link with the Free World.
But Radio Free Europe needs money to continue
this important job ... to grow . . . to become
ever more effective.
It depends on individual American support for
its very existence.
How about it? Will you help fight Communism?
Secure the future of your children?
... Give a dollar? ... Give five dollars? ... or more? ,
Surely, your heart tells you to give something
so that our children and all children shall live
in freedom throughout the world.
