Artificial Human Heart Is Goal

pick problems, DR.. Woodward
says.
A new system for measur-
ing time down to millionths
of a second on a global scale
has been developed by Army
Signal Corps scientists.
They flew ultra-accurate
atomic clocks on Journeys
totaling more than $4,000
miles. The experiments re-
vealed that the clocks were
synchronized within an aver
age of 3.5 millionths of a Sec
ond with each other between
New York, South America,
Hawaii and Australia.
The experiments were
started at the Signal Corps
research laboratories at Fort
Monmouth, N. j. in 1859 in
cooperation with Harvard,
the Navy, the Air Force and
the British postoffice.
Procedure Described
The atomic clocks, or ato-
michronS, get their seemingly
uncanny accuracy from the
natural resonance frequencies
OF atoms or molecules of
suitable elements. Two fun
damental factors involved in
the clock Synchronization ex-
periments were the co-ordin-
alton of ceSium- beam atomi-
chrons with each other. It
was like setting the hands

clocks together, with ocean,

low frequency radio to trans

a master clock to a network
of slave clocks with the OBJ
Jective of keeping them run
ming at the same rate, or
ticking together, once they
were set in phase.
The problem of working out
a feasible way of initially
setting far-flung slave clocks
in phase was solved with a
fast aircraft and a flying
clock to serve as an inter-
mediary, although the atomi-
chrons used were designed
for operation under nearly
ideal laboratory conditions.
In preliminary tests between
Fort Monmouth and Hawaii
the atom clocks ran no
farther apart than a fifth of
a millionth of a second.
All the tests gave valuable
information on very low fire.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Conservatives Make Their Bid
By GOULD LINCOLN

The widely discussed revolt
Of the conservatives in the
Republican Party will have
its first big test in today's
California primary election.
Joseph c. Shell, who has
been his party's leader in the
State Assembly, is running as
a strong conservative against
former Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon, a moderate"
for the g. o. P. gubernatorial
nomination. Also Republican
Senator TIL o m a S Kuchel,
seeking denomination, is OPP
posed by two conservatives.
Both Mr.. Nixon and Senator
Kuchel are expected to win.
The question is: How big a
vote will the conservatives
be able to roll up? Another
question is: Following the
Nixon-Kuchel victories (if
they materialize as expected)
will Mr.. Nixon and Senator
Kuchel be able to rally all
Republicans to their stand
ards and pick up enough
Democratic and independent
votes to defeat their expected
Democratic opponents, Gov.
Pat Brown and Richard
Richards, a senatorial candi-
date, in November?
California is soon to be the
biggest State in the Union
in population. What happens
there will have extreme in
terest in politics. New York,
still rated the Empire State,
has its determined conserva-
tives among Republicans, too.
So bitterly do some Of them
feel about progressive Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller that
they have launched q drive
for a new Conservative Party.
They have no hope Of defeat
ing Gov. Rockefeller for re-
nomination at the G. o. P.
State Convention in Septem-
Der. But they threaten to
throw their votes to the
Democratic nominee against
him in the ensuing general
election. So tests of the con-
sentative strength-the dyed
in-the-wool conservatives-in
the Republican Party are set
to take place in the Nations
two greatest States, one on
the Atlantic and the other on
the Pacific coast. These tests
are particularly interesting
because these States cast the
largest numbers of votes in
the Electoral College for
President and Vice President.
Top-mterest States
For Republicans, Connecti-
cut vies for interest with
California today. The G. o. p
is meeting in State conven-
ton to select party candi-
dates for Governor and Sen
ator. Connecticut Republican
hopes have been running
high in recent months. These

Senator Prescott Bush an
nounced recently he would
not seek denomination be-
cause of health, former Am
bassador John Lodge. a for
mer Governor and member Of
the national House of Repre-
sentatives, threw his hat in
the ring for the senatorial
nomination. Prior to that,
Mr.. Lodge had been avail
able" for the gubernatorial
nomination. He has three
opponents for the Senate in
the convention. They are
Representative Horace Seely-
Brown, jr.; former Repre-
sentative-at-Large Antoni N.
Sadlak and Miss Vivien
Kellems. Mr.. Lodge is given
a distinct edge in this con-
test.
The Democrats do not
nominate until mid-July,
when Gov. John N. Dempsey
is expected to be renominated
and HEW Secretary Abra-
ham Ribicoff will have
the senatorial nomination. A
Lodge-Ribicoff race next No
vember will be a return po-
litical match. Mr.. Ribicoff
defeated Mr.. Lodge for Gov
ernor by a narrow margin In
1854. Mr.. Ribicoff is today
rated the strongest vote
getter the Democrats have in
the State.
The Texas Campaign
The conservative liberal
issue played its part in the
Texas run-off primary cleo
ton for a gubernatorial can
didate on Saturday, this time
in the Democratic Party. The
liberal forces were led by q
37-year-old Houston lawyer,
Don Marlborough, in q race
against former Secretary Of
the Navy John Connally. Mr..
Connally won by some $4,000
votes. Mr.. Marlborough and his
supporters tried to pin an
anti-New Frontiers label on
him, but Connally supporters
stoutly deny the nominee for
Governor is against the Ken
nedy program. In any event,
Mr.. Connally was considered
a moderate during the cam
paign now ended. In No
vember, he will be running
against an ultra-conservative
Republican candidate for
Governor, 40-year-old Jack
Cox, an oil company ex-
ecutive. The Connally people
were pleased because their
candidate, running against
Mr.. Marlborough, did we'll in
districts heavily populated by
Negroes and voters of Mexi-
can blood, and also in some
strong labor districts.
In the campaign windup
there we're some newspaper
advertisements urging con-
servativeS to vote for Mr..
Marlborough. The theory was
that the conservatives could
then rally next fall and de-
feat the liberal Marlborough
by voting for Mr.. Cox. Some
may have done so, but not
many. The only real hope
the Republicans have Is that
enough conservative Demo-
Gratis will vote for Mr.. Cox,
and that they will be Joined
by disgruntled Marlborough
supporters. The Connally
supporters say their man is
in. Mr.. Connally has been
a close personal and political
friend of Vice President
Lyndon johnson.

House Plants

All house plants should be
indoors by now, gradually ad-
justing to the dry air that is
normal in most homes. The
period Of adjustment can be
made easier If the plants foliage
can be syringed once or twice
day for a week or two. If the
plants are infested with insect
pests the necessary spraying
for their control should be done
out of doors. However, If taking
them outdoors is inconvenient
and they are not too large they
may be dunked in a pail of
water containing the necessary
insecticides. Malathion Is good
but it only kills the adults and
three applications are necessary
at weekly intervals.
Many house plants will bene-
fit from a feeding at this sea-
son, but not after early Deem
Der. When the days are short
and the light is dim, most house
plants enter a more or less dor
mant or inactive stage. It is
during that period that feeding
and watering should be kept
to a minimum. In January or
early February the plants re-
sumo normal growth and need
extra feeding and watering. 1t
is now, however, that they do
need help to overcome the
shock Of moving indoors and
to be in good condition so that
all will enjoy their color and
yigOr.

Keep Foundation
Paintings in
Proportion

A foundation planting is a
grouping Of shrubs or other
plant materials around the
base of the house. Too little
material gives a spotty appear
ance while too much tends to-
ward a heavy, overdone look.
Until well-spaced permanent
plants grow and spread enough
to form a unified planting. an.
nual flowers can be used as 6
filler. Limit the variety o.
plants used; too many types o.
plants may destroy the simple
ity desired. A proper size rela
tionship between plants ant
house is important.
After young plants have hac
one or two years Of growth Il
may be necessary to prune
them yearly to keep them ir
good proportion. Select plants
for foundation planting that
will require the lease care in
