This may throw new light on brain waves and help in the diag nosis of brain disorders. -Stimulates Heart The Westinghouse Electric Corp. has produced what it calls a "cardiac pacer," an electronic unit which can stimulate a faltering heart. It is a transistorized device pow ered by two extremely small mercury batteries. By means of electrodes placed on the chest, or on the heart during operations, it emits electrical impulses to "trigger the heartbeat." Another Westinghouse de vice, which may be used with or separately from the pacer, is the "cardiac monitor." It will be able to broadcast an alarm signal up to 2V4 miles to a receiver carried by a doc tor. The receiving sets will ba able to handle alarms from a -.vr"1!- monitors. system designed for the Mer only be put to bed but also tell a satellite when to tilt Sensors would continuous The system could be ar ranged to sound an alarm summoning a nurse or physi cian.

Nixon has received "100 per cent sup port and loyalty" of the Cali fornia Republican State Cen tral committce.as head of the UOf. . The pledge of support was issued by the group Sunday after a week end meeting. It followed statements by such GOP leaders as Sen. Bsrry Goldwater of Arizona and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York who have declined to acknowledge Nixon as the party's leader. Rockefeller said last week he believed GOP leadership should be "collective" while Goldwater said that President Eisenhower presently was the leader.
