MIAMI (UPI) - Some of
the nation's leading weather
men will huddle privately in
Miami in December to talk
about some of their women
namely Alma, Becky, Celia,
Dorothy, Ella, Faith, Greta,
Hallie and Inez.
Their "women" of course
are tropical storms and hurri
canes. The Hurricane Evaluation
Conference Dec. 5-7 will be
the third annual one in which
weathermen e x a m in e any
weak points which develop
during a hurricane season and
try to improve the warning
system to the public for the
upcoming year. The season
runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.
One of the many problems
confronting the weathermen
this year will be the move un
derway in the Floriday Keys
to get them to change the
names of storms to s o m e
thing other than women in
order to keep tourist dollars
flowing in.
The nation's leading hurri
cane tracker, Gordon Dunn of
the Miami Weather Bureau,
says however, he'll oppose
that move mainly on grounds
that storms named after wom
en are "attention-getters" and
help protect life and property
in the Caribbean.
The campaign to strike
down the use of women's
names began several months
ago. The Chambers of Com
merce at Marathon and Isla
morada called in Dunn to hear
complaints from a number of
motel and hotel, owners.
They claimed that panicky
tourists hearing first reports
on radio and television that a
tropical storm was brewing
perhaps 1,000 miles from the
U. S. mainland would pack
their bags and head for home.
Others complained of cancella
tions from as far away as
New York and Massachusetts.

to Dunn that women's names
be used only for hurricane -strength
storms over 74
miles an hour and that
names of tropical storms be
withheld from news media un
til that time.
They also suggested that
tropical storms be s i m p 1 y
called by letters of the alpha
bet -until they reached hurri
cane intensity.
Dunn argues that feminine
names given the storms from
their beginning as mere dis
turbances until some of them
become hurricanes have "real
meaning" to residents of the
tourist islands.
He said the public should
"take a dim view" of keeping
news media from knowing be
forehand the list of girls'
names chosen by weathermen
and "I see no real purpose in
it."
Dunn said island residents
depend on the earliest broad
cast advisories for the protec
tion of their lives and property
and "the best way to get their
attention is to name hurri
canes after women."
He said the Miami Weather
Bureau not only serves as a
warning service to the United
States but "we have accepted
responsibility for adequately
warning Caribbean Islands,
the north coast of South Amer
ica and Central America. The
advices also serve maritime
international aviation and mil
itary interests."
He said the feminine label
to storms because of their
"unpredicatability" of moving
in any direction has been
popular since the late 1940s
when anonymous military
forecaster pinned them on
Pacific typhoons "sisters"
of the Atlantic hurricanes.
The idea caught on and is
now used around the world.
Before that time they were
known simply as "Able, Bak
er, Charlie" etc., in that order
to correspond with the alpha
bet. Again defending use of the
names, Dunn said, "As soon
as you name a storm, people
sit up and take notice and
plan to keep advised until it is
evident that the storm will
not affect their area.
"This is true and this is the
reason why they are so named
so that people will pay at
rtentiondme!iJ&dvices.H7 tory has shown that. seyen out
of 10 tropical storms" ; develop
into hurricanes.
Many fishermen, he said,
depend on such advisories so
they can quickly put into the
nearest port. "If they start
out not knowing the existence
of a hurricane, many of 'them
are lost at sea.
When Hurricane Flora
swept the Lesser Antilles in
1961, it caught many ' small
boats unaware and "50 were
never heard of again after the
storm."
Dunn said he has asked for
names of persons who have
canceled their vacation trips
to the Keys "but I feel that I
am not convinced that the sit
uation is as serious as some
of the motel owners insist.
"I'm willing to be convinced
if my study substantiates but
I am not yet," he said.

You Tell 9Um
Heart Attack Victims
Get Change Of Advice.
DURHAM Once upon a
heart attack the physician
would say to his patient:
"You've had a heart attack;
you're going to have to take it
easy."
Then an anxious wife would
zealously guard her husband
from all activity and see to it
he did just what the doctor
ordered.
The patient's reactions al
ways seemed the same. The
news brought on automatic
retirement, concern, fear, de
pression and bewilderment.
This attitude by the patient
and his wife is the subject
(of a study at Duke Medical.
Center. Doctors herer ti a-Te
found that heart attack vic
tims may recover from the
physical symptoms of their at
tack but still continue to be
invalids.
Why? Dr. Robert F. Klein,
assistant professor of medi
dicine, suspects two possibili
ties: Before his heart attack,
the victim was an insecure
person and the attack gives
him an excuse for his depress
ion. -Something happens dur
ing the treatment of the pat
ient which tends to leave him
an invalid. .
Dr. Klein is much more at
tracted to the latter theory.
He and members of his team
are closely observing both
patients and staff, paying par
ticular attention to the psycho
logical response of the patient
and his family to the heart
attack.
Part of the reason the pat
ient continues to have residual
effects of his attack, Dr.
Klein believes, is that he has
to accept the old idea that a
heart attack spells doom.
In our society, the heart at
tack has long carried the
threat of instant death. The
patient often is left quite fra
gile because he believes a

heart attack may recur any
time without warning. Com
plicating this is the reluctance
of the patient to return to
work and his feeling that he
is being plagued with weak
ness because of chest pains
and shortness of breath. These
symptoms often are a psy
chological after - effect of the
attack and can occur long af
ter actual recovery.
EXERCISE
For many years the heart
attack victim was taught
that physical activity was
harmful. Now he is taught that
exercise will speed his re
covery. "Either they don't know the
new theory , about -heart atr
tacks or they ; are to frighten'
ed by the experience they
can't accept the idea of ex
ercise," said Dr. Klein.
The object of the Duke
study is to determine when
these complications first ap2
pear and how they should
be treated. Dr. Klein sees the
long - term objective of the
research as the prevention
of heart attack invalidism by
providing better care and at
tention. As for the staff members,
they are being scrutinized be
cause Dr. Klein suspects their
attitude could contribute to
these complications.
Another aspect of the study
is determining the effect emo
tional upset has on the cate
cholamine excretion in the
patient. Catecholamines are
chemical substances normal
ly present in the body which
respond to emotional stress.
By linking emotional stress
and catecholamine changes,
the team has a valuable and
objective means of measure
ment in its study.
These changes may precede
development of the heart at
tack complications. But in
several well - documented in
stances, complications have
been noted in the wake of
emotional stress.
For instance, noticeable ris
es in catecholamine excretions
with such events as discharge
from the cardiac intensive
care unit, transfers from the
unit to. other wards in the hos

pital, getting the bill, argu
ments or disagreements with
the spouse, or learning that
the doctor has gone on vaca
tion or left town for several
days.
"All these things, and
many others, contribute to
this condition and may be re
ism." says Dr. Klein.
It is during the first two or
three weeks that the pheno
mena occurs. "What happens
then," says Dr. Klein, "may
be very crucial in determin
ing how the patient will ad
just to the heart attack."
In keeping with the new the
ory that exercise is benefic
, ial, he believes the exercise '
, should begin, while the patient; "
' ; is in the hospital, In ; additipii, r u
the patient should be educat-'
ed with regard to diet.
This is being done at Duke
and elsewhere. The results
are heartening, Dr. Klein
said. But meanwhile, he ad
vocates a new approach to the
patient by doctors and nurs
es. "All too often," he says,
"their attitude is . a negative
one in which they insist on tell
ing the patients what not to
do." And he believes this is
partly responsible for the emo
tional upsets that block recov
ery. -."The attitude has long been,
if the patient isn't causing
any trouble he's doing well,"
he points out. "The true fact
is the ones who have been
so quiet are the ones who
have been denying the reality
of the heart attack."
Dr. Klein believes wide
spread development of cardi
ac intensive care units has led
to a fascination with machines
and equipment. This could in
crease the risk of an almost
singular focus on treatment
of the actute physical comlpi
cations while overlooking the
emotional factors involved.
There is a danger the treat
ment of heart attack victims
will become lopsided, he in
sists. Cardiac intensive care units
may save more lives, but an
understanding of the emotion
al consequences of the attack
may make more lives usefuL
