Dr. Paul Dudley White On Expedition To Record Heartbeat of Great Gray Whale Washington - Dr. Paul Dudley White, chief consultant in the president's heart illness, will ship out into the Pacific this week on a daring expedition to record the heartbeat of a great whale, White is one of the world's leading heart specialists. He hop es the study of a whale will shed more light on the nature of heart disease in man and how to treat it. The National Geographic so ciety, which awarded a research grant to Dr. White, regards the expedition as one of the greatest whaling sagas since "Moby Dick." ........ Recording Equipment . It said the famed Boston heart expert will attempt to shoot re cording equipment into a whale off Lower California and make an electrocardiogram. The expedition will leave Los Angeles Thursday. Dr. White ex pects to return in time to give Mr. Eisenhower another examin ation in mid-February. Recording the heart beats of animals is old stuff to heart spec ialists, who have clocked the pulse rates of practically . every thing from mice to elephants. Dr. White even made an elec trocardiogram of a one-ton white whale off Alaska in 1952. But never before has a check been made on anything as large as the 50-ton gray whale.
