THE CAPITAL' TOURNAE
TranquilizerDrug
Shot Into Whale
, LOS ANGKLES (AV-Somewherc
In the Pacific a large gray and
somewhat relaxed whale is recov
ering (rom a whale-size jolt ol
tranquilizer drug believed to be
the largest one-shot dosage in
medical history.
'. Researchers believe the whale
is getting hack to normal now, hut
for a while Monday the old boy
was probably the most happy and
who-could-care-less mammal in
the Seven Seas.
. In the interest of heart research
members of "Operation Dumbo"
hot 500 milligrams of a strong
tranquilizing drug into the 50-foot-long
whale as he swam with
three other pals in the choppy
waters off Santa Catalina Island.
The normal human dosage is 2.5
milligrams.
The "hypodermic" was a speci-
eally constructed stainless sleel
harpoon which discharged the
drug through gas pressure.
Dr. Frank 0. Nolan, Los Angeles
osteopathic physician and head of
the expedition, said they had
hoped . to take an electrocardio
gram of the whale. The huge
mammal's heart heats between 10
and 15 limes a minute, compared
With the 70 to BO in humans.
"By taking an electrocardio
gram of a whale, wc may well
find something which can be re
flected to cardiovascular re
search." Dr. Nolan said.
Members of the party, aboard
Coast Guard cutler, came upon
the whales about noon. After a
lengthy game of hide and seek
the harpoon loaded with the drug
was hurled Into the blubbery side
of one nf the big fellows. But he
dove tinder the boat and joined
dp with the rest of the Moby Dick
squadron before he could be identified.
- H was an hour before the drug
took effect and one of the sub'
merged goliaths dropped out of
formation.
"That's the one we want," Dr.
Nolan shouted.
The cutter gave chase but lost
the carefree drug-loaded whale in
dense fog and rain after a two
hour chase. Sighed the doctor:
"There is no doubt that the drug
had some effect on the whale.
What, exactly, we were unable to
tell."
lie said the hunt was a trial
run and he plans to look off Lower
California for more whales.
Dr. Nolan said the project was
similar to that of Dr. Paul Dudley
White, Boston heart specialist
who treated President Ilisen
hower. Dr. White made several
attempts with whales last year off
Baja California, using harpoons
with an electrode attached to
permit an electrocardiogram to
be taken from an accompanying
vessel.
The tranquilizer of Dr. Nolan
was to make the mammal "re
ceptive to treatment," the doctor
said.
11 Caribbean
Isles to Join
In Federation
KINGSTON, Jamaica IB-Dele
gates from 11 Islands arcing 2,000
miles between North and South
America gathered today to set up
the government- of a British Car
ibbean federation.
The island federation will unite
Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and
the Windward and Leeward islands
as a separate member of the Brit
ish Commonwealth. Britain will
retain control of the federation's
defense, foreign relations and
some of its financial policies.
British Guiana and Honduras,
which arc undecided on whether
to enter the federation, sent ob
servers to the meeting of the
standing federation committee.
The two-week meeting will draft
a federal constitution, pick a cap
ital, select a name for the new
grouping, consider a national an
them and the design of a national
flag, and plan the mechanics of
government organization. A spe
cial commission is also to report
on plans for a customs union.
The location of the capital is ex
pected to create the greatest con-
troversy.

Is he right? Cynthia.
