Heart Specialist To Test
Tickers of 50-Foot-Long
Lower California Whales
BOSTON, UP) — Dr. Paul D.
White, internationally -famous
heart specialist, hopes to check
the “ticker” of his biggest patient
this week.
The spry 65-year-old research
director of the National Heart
Institute has flown west to try
to obtain recordings of the heart
beat of 50-foot gray whales off
the Lower California coast.
Using electrodes mounted in the
head of a harpoon, the physician
plans to check the whale’s heart
by wires running to a cardiograph
mounted in a boat.
Last summer Dr, White and
James L. Jenks, a Cambridge,
Mass., manufacturer of electro
cardiographs succeeded in record
ing the heart beats of small 12
foot wThales in Alaska. They found
the Russian white whales or
belugas had a beat of about 15
per minute.

Cocktails In Class Is Latest
Addition to Curriculum Of
British Bristol University
BRISTOL, England, OP — Free
cocktails in class are the latest
addition to the curriculum of
Bristol University’s psychology
department. But it’s all in the
interest of science.
“We are trying to discover the
effect of small doses of alcohol
on skill and perception,” ex
plained Professor G. C. Drew.
The experiments will last for
three years.
Prof. Drew — who mixes the
drinks — said after taking their
nips, the students will operate a
stationary automobile while road
scenes are flashed on a screen in
front of them. Their reactions to
various “emergencies” will be
timed.
There’s one snag. The drinks
will be disguised and not every
one will contain hard liquor.

Fifth Air Force Hits
Red Rail Facilities With
440-Plane Bombing Raid
SEOUL, [ff)—The U.S. Fifth Air
Force hurled a crushing 440-plane
strike against Communist rail
facilities deep in northwest Korea
Tuesday. It was the seventh ham
mering blow on the Red life line
in five days.
The fighter-bombers streamed
north in morning and afternoon
raids of 220 planes each only a
few hours after B-29 Superforts
plastered the area with 100 tons
of bombs in a night strike.
Biggest news on the ground
front was that two fresh Chinese
Communist armies—about 70,000
men—have moved into the line on
the western front. Intelligence of
ficers said there was no indication
of any new Red offensive in that
area, however. They said one
badly-mauled Chinese army was
being pulled out of the line.
