that cerebral arteriosclerosis and coronary arteriosclerosis are related in large measure, as shown in a series of autopsies which he and Dr. Malamud had just completed. Consequently, arteriosclerosis of the coronary vessels indicates that in a large percentage of cases there's also arteriosclerosis of the cerebral vessels. Consequently, any control for coronary arteriosclerosis may also be thereapeutic for cerebral arteriosclerosis.

This was quite a discovery.

Yes.

Paul White and Irving Wright testified for the Heart Institute, and I had phoned Paul White from La Quinta six weeks earlier and he had been very loath to ask for increased funds as he felt that we were pushing things too hard and that we could not use the money intelligently. However, at lunch in the Senate Dining Room, just before the hearings, Irving Wright finally persuaded Paul to go along with the additional amount.

In addition to the hearings for the Institutes, Alice Fordyce, my sister, and Harold Mantell brought General Crawford Sands and Irving Selikov in to testify for the need of more work on a good vaccine for tuberculosis, besides the work that had already been done on BCG and asked for an additional million for the development of a new and better vaccine. Actually, it seems to me that this was unnecessary as they should have urged the use of BCG.
