LOCAL CONGRESS Utt Scores Wire Story As 'Unfair' Rep. James B. Utt, 28th Congressional District, today issued a statement to clarify newspaper reports concerning the size of his staff in proportion to that of other California Congressmen. The AP story, which was based on congressional payroll records, listed Utt as having nine employees, Rep. Bob Wilson (R., San Diego), eight, and Rep. Harry Sheppard (D., San Bernardino), chairman of the California delegation, three. Of his employees, Utt said that three of the nine listed are part-time workers who help him in his home district. He stated that the natural conclusion from the news release was unfair to himself and to Wilson, since it made no mention of the reasons for the difference in numbers of staff members. "It does not take into consideration the fact that both Wilson and I represent large and populous districts," Utt said. Utt, representing all of Orange County and the coast area of San Diego County, has 1,100,000 voters in his 28th Congressional District. Since he was elected in 1952, the population in Utt's district has tripled, and the size of his staff has less than doubled, he pointed out.

Heart During Surgery Here A metal box that looks like a portable television set with a 12 inch screen is now serving as a "watch dog" in the operating room at the St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton. This new machine, called a Cardioscope, was designed to protect patients in surgery. It is a sensitive device keeping a constant check on the heartbeat of a patient during an operation. The machine functions as a recording device. An apparatus is taped to the patient's wrist and ankle, and through a viewing scope on the machine, the surgeon or anesthesiologist can quickly see the condition of the heart during operation. The markings on the scope are identical to those traced on paper with ink by an electrocardiograph. The advantage here is that the surgeon performing the operations can quickly tell how the patient's heart is reacting thus causing less danger to heart stoppages. Occasionally, during surgery, the patient's heart stops and while most of them are brought back to action there is often some damage resulting to the brain due to the lack of blood supply. The machine sounds a continuous "beep-beep" tone in relation to the heartbeat which makes it possible for the medical team to recognize the changes immediately without having to watch the screen. It is also possible to attach the machine to a recording instrument and keep a record of the operation. This new machine has been done (Continued on Page 2-B)
