Bertha, Alaskan White Whale, DOA At NY. Airport

NEW YORK, LR - The great heart of Bertha, the only white whale in captivity, pumped every eight seconds, as a whales heart should, as she neared Idlewild Airport yesterday.
 It had been an exhausting H. hour trip from Seattle for Bertha.
 She started east with a healthy pearl gray complexion. On the way she was swathed in canvas and blankets, which were soaked with water every hour.
 Dr. Carleton Ray, assistant di- rector of the aquarium at Coney Island who made the trip with Bertha, said that although her skin gradually hardened and turned dark brown, she seemed in good health until 15 minutes out of Idlewild.
 At that point, the 450-pound mammal died. An autopsy by aquarium staff physicians indi- cated a pulmonary injury had caused death.
 Bertha and another whale, Louey, were taken at King Sal mon, Alaska. Louey died in An chorage. He suffered an in- lection which set in around a harpoon wound.

WASHINGTON, R = The Sen ate began it's second week of de bate on Alaskan statehood amid hope that votes today might clear the way for final action by mid week.
 Sen. Mansfield, acting majority leader, said he hoped for votes today on the remaining consti- tutional challenge against the bill by Sen. Eastland and the Missis- sippians' move to send the bill to the Senate Judiciary Commit tee which Eastland heads.
 Backers of the House-passed bill, heartened by two test vote victories, were confident the ad mission measure would be on its way to the White House not later than Wednesday. They forecast passage by 2-1 Senate margin.
 Delegate Bartlett, traditionally cautious in his statehood fore casts, said he would not be sur prised to find 70 senators lining up for the bill on the final roll call. He said he looked for action by Tuesday night.
 Similar forecasts were made during the weekend by Senate packers of the bill which would authorize the first new state since New Mexico and Arizona joined the union 46 years ago.
 There was some indication that
