Whale’s Heart
Hard to Study
WASHINGTON, UP—-Dr. Paul
Dudley White, heart consultant to
President Eisenhower, has report
ed one setback in his effort to
record the heartbeat of a Califor
nia gray whale.
The National Geographic So
ciety, sponsor of the expedition
he heads in the Pacific, reported
today receipt of a radiogram from
Dr. White saying he still is op
timistic.
White sent word that a small
boat which approached a large
female whale and her calf on
Tuesday was badly damaged
when the whale turned and
struck the boat.
No one was hurt, and the boat
limped back to the mother ship,
the Dorado, off the coast of Baja
California.
The small .boat carried har
pooners who hope to shoot har
poons into a whale long enough
so that attached wires can carry
back electrical impulses recording
the whale’s heartbeat.
White has said he hopes to
learn more about the operations
and variations of mammalian
hearts of all sizes.

Permanent Operating
Rights for Airlines
Serving Alaska Proposed
WASHINGTON, — Airlines
operating within Alaska or Ha
waii or between the United States

permanent operating rights under
terms of a bill introduced by Sen.
Magnuson (D-Wash).
Carriers operating solely within
either territory could obtain per
manent certification merely upon
a showing they have perfonned
satisfactory service. Those flying
between the States and Alaska
would have to show performance
of satisfactory service from Jan.

bill.
The carriers, who would have
to apply within 120 days of the
bill’s passage, would be limited
in their permanent authority to
