Other children in the house at
the time the fire broke out were

destroyed.
Officials said the fire broke out
about 4 a.m. from undetermined
causes.

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

through, a bit the worse for wear

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.

Strategic Air Command iSACi
and an outspoken opponent of the

closed that the United States lias

In closed-door testimony of
Aug. 19. released Friday by the

jected was made puulic at the
time of his appearance.
But in the testimony released
Friday he made it clear that he

WICHITA. Kan. 'UPI' -Six-leen

Doles said he had all of the
Army he desires when r. practical
joke put him in the s'.ockade at
Fort Riley, Kan., for eight days.
Until his recent experience in

planned In enlist Sept. 23, twoi

Doles was in Kansas City wilh

when Avis, who was AWOL from
Ft. Hood, Tex., decided to sur
render to authorities.
Doles accompanied Avis to a
nolice station. As a joke. Avis
told military police Doles also
was AWOL.
Despite his protests, Doles was
taken along with Avis. Roth were
sentenced to the stockade.
Eight days later, after coistai

cials checked with Ft. Hood iid

there. However, they believed he
might be AWOL from some other
post and began an investigation
Doles was assigned to a special
unit composed of soldiers unas
signed to regular units.
I was still there after three
days, still telling them I was only
16 years old and had not enlisted
in the Army." Doles said. "So I
walked awav and hitched a ride
home."
A few days later he was picked
un by Wichita police on a traf-
lie violation. Military police re

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.

To demonstrate how research ol
this nature is done, Dr. Semler

a 10-hour period and acquired a

however, Dr. Semler and his tech'
nician on the cardiac project
Mrs. Berniece Platl, put me
though the paces on the conven

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

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

If the teachers strike as sched

BUTTE, Mont. (UPH - The

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.
