SCHWAB, Chief Judge.

Claimant had suffered from coronary artery disease of long standing. The mental and physical stress of his employment, superimposed upon his underlying heart ailment, caused attacks of angina pectoris to the extent that he was required to stop work. The State Accident Insurance Fund accepted the claim for the purpose of treatment of the angina pectoris, but denied responsibility for the underlying heart condition.1
