Doctors working with the equip ment believe it is the most signm- cant step in research of the heart in recent medical history. The green line formed on an oscilloscope screen and then danced and 'jiggled for 10 min- utes. It represented a 10-hour chart of my heart action during part of a normal work day and hours alter work. A 10 - hour electrocardiogram (EKG) during periods of normal activity had never been possible before the development of the portable electrocardiocordcr. The recorder is carried over the shoulder like a camera case with electrodes attached to the chest while a tape inside moves slowly, noting beat by - beat the heart's changes and damage if any. But, by means of a "rapid Wallace Order Set Showdown On Integration WHAT IT MEANS ' (A continuing study of develop epments on the racial front) By AL KUETTNER United Press International The strident tone of Gov. George Wallace's executive order No. 10 Monday apparently was the thing that convinced the Jus tice Department that he was de termined to force another show down over court-ordered public school integration. Wallace, who often gets in his best work between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., handed down executive order 10 and two others like it at 5:30 a.m. Mo bile, Birmingham and Tuskegcc school officials, parents and pupils were still abed. If they had dreamed of a peaceful re sumption of school work, the dream was shattered soon after they woke mx It wasn't long, however, before the optimism changed to gloom a oiiwt oi Wallace's orders spread by word of mouth. Then tte carloads oc troopers armed' and; by school acenin:? time of 1 3 a.m. auiidiiur at the integr-1 tinrt site were neaiity guarded! by Gik blue-ahirUeii troopers.

Along with the visible electro cardiographic imnulsc, an audio signal is emitted which sounds like a car in low gear until the heart activity speeds up. Then it sounds like that far turn during the Indianapolis '500'. The equipment is used for pre liminary analysis. A more detail ed examination is made on a third unit of the equipment. The equipment is at Portland's St. Vincent Hospital in a new de partment called a Cardiac Tele metry Station. II is the first such station on the West Coast, and one of the first in the world. It was opened July 17 under the di rection of Dr. Herbert J. Scmler, a cardiologist on the hospital staff, and a former Mayo Clinic physician. Dr. Sender says the equipment here is being used primarily for research until more is known about it. To demonstrate how research of (his nature is done, Dr. Scmler attached the recorder to me for a 10-hour period and acquired a more complete record of my heart than has ever been obtained in any previous examination. Hnri,.0 T u-nrp the recorder. however. Dr. Sender and his tech nician on the cardiac project. Mrs. Bernicce Piatt, put me fiwi.,it iiio npeps nn the conven tional EKG and a radio-transmit ted electrocardiogram.

Its prototype was used at Cape Canaveral, where cardiac telemetry is known to be used for monitoring the heart action of astronauts in or bit. During the lime 1 wore the re corder 1 jotted down on a "diary" what I did and at what time. This would be matched later with the heart action as recorded on the tape. The wavy green line 1 watched looked like a sharo -peaked moun tain with a nearly level valley floor beside it. One beat after an other was superimposed at high speed. When one of the beats, or "mountains," jumped outside the line of supcrimposition. Dr. Scm ler could note its formation and the time it occurred so that it could be matched with my diary to see what eaused.it. While my own heart appeared normal in the tests. Dr. Soulier isaid the cardiocorder has already turned up abnormalities in per sons who have never suspected any heart trouble. Frequently, lie said, a person 'Will complain of a flutter or chest I pain and make an appointment I for a standard KKG. Hut when it is taken, with the person at rest or inactive, there is no evidence of heart damage. The standard equipment which has been In u.-e lor many years is functional only when (lie pa tient is at rol. However, heart trouble may show up mainly dur ing periods of activity or stress. ' "We could never follow any one's heart actum for 10 hours a day unions we had a finger on their pulse all that time." Dr. Sender said, "With the new Instruments, it is now possible. We think this is go ing to have a tremendous impact on the nation's health." By "we" he meant himself and his two assistants, Dr. Robert Gustafson, resident at St. Vincent Hospital, and Dr. Charles Nor land of the U.S. Public Health Service. All three men are work ing on a voluntary basis, with .support for the project derived in part from the Frank R. Alenne research fund of St. Vincent Hos pital and the Oregon Heart As sociation, plus voluntary contribu tions. The purpose now is to gather a reliable library of heart charts and histories. The next step, and the one to which the station is gradually being directed, is to use the cardiocorder as a diagnostic tuul. "We are getting useful data," Dr. Scmler said, "but it has to lie carefully evaluated first prior to its future use in clinical mcdi- ; cine." , He wants completely analyzed (file of healthy, and in some in stances unhealthy, hearts before the recorder is put into clinical use. In time it will fulfill its func tion of finding coronary disease while it is treatable. I While wo watched the green line on the oscilloscope, we , matched notes I had kept in the i diary.
