Mrs. Peggie Goodman of Seattle and Gary Douglas of Everett are both confined to wheelchairs and are sitting on the capitol steps in protest of the State Legislature's cutting of welfare benefits by 12 per cent in the last three years. Mrs, Goodman has been on the steps since Wednesday and Douglas joined her Friday. They both have vowed to stay until the governor calls a special session of the legislature to'rectify the welfare situation.

Mother, Sons Burn To Death SWEET HOME (UPD-A moth er and two young sons burned to death in a house fire near here early Saturday. The victims were identified as Louclla Inez Snyder, 36, and Wayne David Snyder. 4, and Rich ard Lee Snyder, 10, sheriff's offi cers said. Other children in the house at the time the fire broke out were unharmed. The two-story frame home located between Swoet Home and Foster was completely destroyed. Officials said the fire broke out about 4 a.m. from undetermined causes. 'crews squeezed a one-story, two- bedroom frame house through the West Burnside Street tunnel Fri day evening after it had blocked traffic for more than six hours The frame structure was being moved from a former location to a site when it jammed in the breech of the tunnel. The house, property of Neil G. Sundquist, was being moved by the R. E. Duggan Moving Co. Mrs. Nora Duggan said she couldn't understand why the house jammed. "I measured the house, t h c county measured it and the city measured it, and we thought it would fit," she said Rut officials apparently failed to take into account several paving projects which raised the road bed near the east end of the tun nel. The hairbreadth leewav just was not there. A pair of enterprising boys set up orangeade and lemonade stands for the onlookers. The house was finally squeezed through, a bit the worse for wear and parked west of the bridge for the night. By JAMES BOYLE United Press International PORTLAND (UPD- I watched my heart beat, in the form of a wavy green line on a screen, go- ing 60 times Hs normal speed in demonstration of remarkable new equipment for the study of heart disease. Doctors working with the equip ment believe it is the most signwi 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 utcs. It represented a 10-hour chart of my heart action during! part of a normal work day and hours after work. A 10 - hour electrocardiogram lEKG) during periods of normal activity had never been possible before the development of the portable electrocardiocorder. The recorder is carried over tlie 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 il any. But, by means of a "rapid read out system." it can be scanned in 10 minutes speeded up on an electronic scanner to B0 times its normal rate. . Along with the visible electro cardiographic impulse, 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. It is the first such station on the West Coast, and one of the first in the world. It was oned July 17 under tlie di reel ion of Dr. Herbert J. Semler a cardiologist on the hospital staff, and a former Mayo Clinic physician. Dr. Semler says the equipment here is being used primarily for research until more is known about it. Youth Killed EUGENE (UPD Michael Giles 15, Vida, was killed when he was struck by a car in front of hisl home on State Highway 126 about 35 miles east of here Fri day night. Dennis Baldridge, 18,- Finn Rock, the driver of the car, was hospitalized at Eugene for shock. Commander Of SAC Tells Senate Nuclear Arsenal Not Fully Tested WASHINGTON UPI Gen. .inventory. That includes the mis-i Thomas S. Power, head of the'silcs and the bombs. Strategic Air Command iSACi and an outspoken opponent of the nuclear test ban treaty, lias dis closed that the United States lias "never completely tested any of the nuclear weapons in SAC's ar- senal." In closed-door testimony of Aug. 19. released Friday by the Senate preparedness sui.commit tec. Power said none of t dif ferent nuclear weapons in his control "have been tested opera Power's judgment that the lim-! itcd test ban treaty is "not in the best interest of the United States" and that it should be re jected was made puulic at the time of his appearance. But in the testimony released Friday he made it clear that he would oppose the treaty even ifj test readiness safegunids urged by the Joint Chiefs of Staff are provided. The Joint Chiefs en-i dorsed the pact on this condition linnallv from stockpile to delona-, Power is the only top current tinn " 'military leader to take a firm1 "I think this is a mistake." he said. "I think they should be tested. The only way you can prove a weapon system is to take it out of the stockpile in a ran dom pattern and let the tactical unit take it out and detonate it . . We have not tested any of the nperalional warheads in our' stand against the treaty. Power also testified that: The "surest way to cause war, nuclear war or any war, is to disarm." It is not true that the United States accomplished as much as Russia did in atmo.-phoric nu clear tests. Power said: "I dnn'lj Lad Cancels Army T After Skry In Stockade? WICHITA. Kan.

A few days later he was picked un by Wichita police on a traf- lie violation. Military police re turned him to Ft. Riley. "This time I convinced them I wasn't in th Army," said Doles. ' And about enlisting, they can for get it." agree with that statement. We discovered things, but one of the most important things I think we discovered Is the great void in our knowledge." He thinks the nuclear bal ance would shift in Russia's fa vor if only underground testing is permitted. The United States would lose its advantage in low vicld weapons, and could not catch up" with the Soviets in high-yield weapons. The reason there has been no war is ' disgustingly simple U.S. military superiprity. Power said (his country has maintained its position "not because people like us . . . They are afraid to attack us . . . This is a worth while position to maintain." There are, in his opinion 'too many unknowns" about the survivability of a Minuteman missile silo hence his plea for freedom to test in the atmosphere.

The next step, and the one to which the station is gradually being directed, is to use the cardioeorder as a diagnostic tool. "We are getting useful data.' Dr. Semler said, "but k has to be carefully evaluated first prior to its future use in clinical medi cine He wants completely analyzed Hies ot 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. While we watched the green line on tlie oscilloscope, we matched notes 1 had kept in the sure of a local deadline, (lie cardi oeorder told us my heart rate jumped up. The superimposition of the heart-beat picture changed slightly. The audio scanner hummed at greater pitch. Once as 1 raced across the room to grab a ringing telephone from a dead stop, the picture re vealed that my heart abruptly leaped into a higher rate. Later in the day I took a nap with the lightweight recorder still hanging around my shoulder. My heart rate leveled off to about 60 beats a minute until 1 was awakened by a telephone. The .green line blipped and danced and' then went back to a more normal configuration, but re mained at a higher speed as I dressed and, later, as 1 drove through heavy traffic. Had there been any abnormal action during Die 10-hour period, it would have been clearly printed for the doctor to examine. It is easy to undersand why Dr. Semler holds the cardioeorder as one of the most useful tools diary.

NEW YORK (UPD-A three- member mediation panel began meetings with union officials and the Board of Education Saturday afternoon, less than 48 hours be fore the city's 43,000 public school teachers were to begin an illegal strike. Salary increases at all levels head the list of demands of the United Federation of Teachers (UFTi, bargaining agent for the teachers. More than 1.000.000 youngsters in 845 schools would be kept from classes if the teachers walk out as scheduled when the fall term begins Monday. The city mediators, appointed by Mayor Robert F. Wagner, meti Saturday with school Supt. Dr. To demonstrate how research ol this nature is done, Dr. Semler 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 anv previous examination. Before I wore the recorder however, Dr. Semler and his tech' nician on the cardiac project Mrs. Berniece Platl, put me though the paces on the conven tional EKG and a radio-transmit ted electrocardiogram. The transmitter unit was the step in heart research that pre ceded the recorder. 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 time I wore the re corder I 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 tanc. The wavy green line 1 walcneci looked like a sharp-peaked moun tain with a nearly level valley floor beside it. One beat alter an oilier was superimposed at high speed. When one of the beats, or mountains, jumped outside tnc line of superimposition. Dr. hem lor could note its formation and the lime it occurred so that it could be matched with my diary to see what caused it. While my own heart appeared normal in the tests, Dr. Semler said the cardioeorder has already turned up abnormalities in per sons who have never suspected anv heart trouble. Frequently, he said, a person will complain of a flutter or chest pain and make an appointment for a standard EKG. But 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 use for many years is functional only when the pa tient is at rest. However, heart trouble may show up mainly dur ing periods of activity or stress "We could never lollow any one's heart action for 10 hours a day unless we had a finger on t-ltoir plse all that lime, ur.

(UPI) The 18-year-old son of a former mayor of Seaside was sentenced to 20 days in jail and fined $150 Friday in connection with Labor Day holi day weekend rioting here. Lester Underwood Raw II plead-. led guilty to disorderly conduct be fore Municipal Judge John A. Black. The judge suspended 10 days of the jail sentence. Raw, who also was assessed $4.50 in court costs, pleaded in nocent to a charge of violating curfew regulations. A trial will be scheduled later. Raw's father, a motel operator, was in the court room. Michael Frank Dcthman, 18, The Dalles, was fined $100 and as sessed costs of $4.50 after plead ing guilty to disorderly conduct. Six youths pleaded innocent to charges stemming from the riot ing. Trials will be set later. The youths were Robert Dc- vaney, Leo Morrcll, David Burns, 20, and Neil Douglas Glenn, 10, all of Portland; Jeffrey Barker of California, and William Stanley Peterson. Eight other youths failed to ap- )car to answer charges and for feited bail. They were Ronald Frank Jen nings, 18; ltnnald Dean La Cha pellc, 20. and Dale A. Billups, 18, all of Portland; Corky Kenneth Hulton. 20, The Dalles; Spencer Ward Alperl, 18, Eugene; Steve Bradley Borgerson, 18, Mercer Is land, Wash.; Hal Edwin Driskell Jr., 19, and James Boyd Keller, 22. More hearings arc scheduled next Monday and Wednesday. About 70 y o u t h s were arrested during the rioting. Some 2.000 young persons bat tled national guardsmen, the state riot squad and city police and fire men. Calvin Gross, then huddled with UFT President Charles Cogen and other officials. . Boti Gross and Cogen said they were "optimistic" a strike could be averted and both were prepared for around the clock talks. The meetings were taking place in a mid-town hotel. If the teachers strike as sched uled they would be defying bolli a state Supreme Court restrain ing order and the state's contro versial Condon-Wadlin law, which bars strikes by civil service work ers. "I think we will be at it for a long time," said Wagner's chief labor mediator Theodore H. Kheel when he entered Saturday's meet ing. The UFT seeks $0 million in pay raises money which I h c city has claimed repeatedly is not available this year. The union wants a $6,000 start ing salary for teachers and $12,000 for those with 14 or more years experience. The range cur rently is $5,300 to $10,145. Sources say the school board lias offered $12 million in pay raises, but with the provision the hikes would be made next year M.ANS BUT. RMNFMIE INDIANAPOLIS.

Blast Still Not Solved BUTTE, Mont. (UPH - The Aug. 24 explosion of 3,500 pounds of stolen dynamite at a slap dump here remained almost as much a mystery today as it was Ihe night it happened. AH thai has been established for certain is that the one known vic tim of the mammoth blast was Emil G u a y, 34-year-old Butte cement worker and father of nine children. The FBI Identified Guay by fingerprints. II is now assumed there was only the one victim and that oth ers at the scene fled immediately before the blast. A coroner's jury early last week came only to the conclusion that Guay was killed in the explosion. It had no ideas as lo what caused the dynamite to blow up just as officers were moving in on the scene. Police and sheriff's officers were tipped there was to be a sale of the dynamite which was stolen early in August from a Bulle powder firm. It came out during the inquest that the sale was actually a set up as a buy hack by tho powder firm from the Ihieves. Sunday night Butte had another dynamite explosion, this one an undetermined quantity In front of a Great Northern freight train just north of Butte.
