But, he said, indicating that he himself would contribute to the fund, he had acted more in a private than in an official capacity. He gave an eloquent explanation: "When private citizens seek to help prevent suffering in other lands through voluntary contributions-which is a great...

...Cases." Though Keys's theory gained sanction from the American Heart Association last month (TIME, Dec. 26), it is still questioned by some other researchers with conflicting ideas of what causes coronary disease. The main difference is that they variously blame hypertension, stress, smoking and physical inactivity, while Keys gives these causes only minor roles. But the army of Keys supporters is growing. Some of them are converted skeptics, like Heart Specialist Irvine Page (TIME cover, Oct. 31, 1955), who, with Harvard Nutritionist Frederick Stare and others, drafted the A.H.A.'s position paper.
