He was employed by the Portland Engineer district in June, 1939, and has been in continuous service with that organization. On Military Planning From 1939 to 1941, Stewart worked on the Willamette Basin project. At the start of World War II he was on mili tary planning for the Port land district. Later he joined the U.S. Navy and served in Construction Maintenance Unit 564 as an Ensign. Following World War II Stewart returned to the Port reports section in the plan ning branch. As head of this section he was responsible for the Portland district portion of the revised "308" Report on the Columbia River and Tributaries, together with a number of other less compre hensive reports. Colonel Eisiminger said there were many conflicting interests in connection with the use of the Rogue River's limited water supply and that Stewart's adopted report was the result of harmonious plan ning among state and federal agencies and local interests.

Emeritus Consultant In Medlcfna Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Slcdicln Mayo Clinic tReiliter and Tribune Syndicate, 1982) What Caused A Chesl Pain? I see each year many per sons who are fairly certain that they have had a heart at- iney nave uou some pain in their chest. Some of these people have been to many r-fjtei'f.'"' V J Dhvsi clans i and have had many electro cardiogr a m s made, but still thcy are puzzled as to what the pain. Often, in a few minutes I can be fairly certain that the pain did not arise in the heart. Why? Be cause it does not come with exertion. The man may tell me that he can walk rapidly along the street ,or he can run up a flight of stairs. He is not short of breath; his wind is good, and he can lie flat in bed at night - with only one pillow. His ankles show no swelling. As he talks to me in the of-: flee he shows no shortness of breath. Evidently he has a good heart. Most important of all, he has a "good cardiac re serve." He is like an auto mobile that has plenty of re serve power that will enable it to go not only along the level, but up a steep mountain grade. In typical cases of angina pectoris, or heart pain, the man is likely to say that he is most likely to get it In the winter when, atter breakfast, he walks against a stiff cold wind. It is likely to be re lieved quickly with a tablet of nitroglycerin. In some cases the anginal pain comes with anger. As Dr. Ttnsley R. Harrison recently pointed out, the phy sician who would make a nood dlasnosis must take a good history and then must know what it means. Many of the men who some times have anginal pain can also have a chest pain due to arthritis of joints in the front or back of the chest wall, or some soreness in the muscles of the shoulder girdle, due perhaps to a Saturday spent in painting a room. Or the man may get some pain from gas in his bowel or in his stomach; gus which is pressing up against his midriff. Or he may have some pain referred up into his chest from a dis eased gallbladder or a dis eased pancreas (the Inrgo di gestive gland Just back of the stomach). Rarely, pain In the chest can be due to a little "hiatus hernia," or the squeezing of a bit of the upper end of the stomach through the hole in the midriff through which passes the gullet. This pain is likely to come when, after a large meal, the person leans over to untie his shoelaces. On rare occasions, I get a pain in my chest wall which 1 can recognize as due to a cramp In a bit of the muscle which lies between two ribs. physician, because otherwise I would worry needlessly -; mistaking some harmless ; chest pain for that of a heart i attack. Occasionally I see a person whose pain is due to an I arthritis in the joint between the lower end of the breast-1 bone and the little piece of! cartilage that lies just below it. Sometimes I get a fairly severe distress In my chest I which I think is a form of heartburn. This has nothing I to do with the heart but is due to acid Juice from the stomach 1 regurgitating upward into an ; overly sensitive gullet. Sometimes nowadays a man with a harmless chest distress is supposed to have a heart pain because someone read too much into alight and in significant changes In his electrocardiogram. As Dr. Myron Prinzmetal of Los Angeles has shown, if an electrocardiogram can he made while the person Is hav ing a heart pain, definite changes in the electrocardio gram usually can be found. When a man has typical at tacks of angina, with normal electrocardiograms, I often get great help from the "two step' 'test of another friend, Dr. Arthur Master, of New York City. When the patient is made to walk back and forth over two steps, if he has a narrow coronary artery in his heart, certain typical changes will appear in his electrocardiogram. Then one knows that the man has a nar row coronary artery that has not yet plugged up. Should you expect sudden exertion to cause a heart at tack? This and other inter esting questions about heart attacks are answered In Dr. Alvarez' booklet, "Heart Trouble." You may order a copy of It by sending 25 cents and a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, The Register and Trib une Syndicate, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa. A Large Ovary Some middle aged women write to say that their doctor has found what he thinks is a large ovary, and he wants to operate and remove it. The woman wonders if 1 would dis approve of this operation as I disapprove of a hysterectomy for a few silent and symptom less knobs of muscle on a womb. No; if the doctor can he sure tliHt the mass he feels is large ovary, I think it hud belter be removed. Cancer in an ovary is a bad diseusc which, if neglected, is very likely to cause the death of the woman. However, in all such rases, 1 like to get a second opinion. If the woman witli the large ovary were my wife or sister or daughter I would ask a wise gynecologist to examine her and tell me what he thought should be done. 1 1 is I expert fingers might feel I something different from what Often I think to myself Mi;it I the first doctor thought he It is fortunate Hint I am a felt.
