Mr. Rahm wa s formerly the president of and research en gineer for a New York medical equipment firm. The research has- been under the direction of Dr. Dunn, and has been financed in part by the National Heart Institute and the Nebraska Heart Association. The new medical equipment, as described by the Medical journal, can. 1. Speed up and greatly facil itate the diagnosis of heart cases, by enabling small hospitals to telephone the heart performance records of their patients to med ical centers specializing in diag nosis of heart ailments. 2. Allow a general practitioner at the bedside of a home-bound patient to discuss his case with a heart specialist hundreds of miles away, while both the local doctor and specialist view the perform ance of the patient's heart. 3. Enable large hospitals to establish "heart centers" to serve their patients directly in the wards. 4. Be of important help in pro viding permanent records of heart performance during surgery or medication. Such records can be valuable in heart research and teaching.

We need not only more, but better trained engineers and mathematicians," he added.

In a speech entitled "The World Struggle for the Necessities of Life," Vogel emphasized that there are 65,000 more mouths to feed in the world every day. Of these, he said, only about 20 per cent are In highly developed areas of the free world. About one third, he said, are in Communist dominated areas, and "about one hair are in the underdeveloped areas of the free world. In reviewing the conditions in these underdevloped areas, Vogel stressed that these conditions are causing definite unrest among the people in these areas. These people, he said, are "exerting ex plosive pressure" on the free world tbey are really "a keg of dynamite." In emphasizing that people of highly developed nations need to take greater interest in the under developed areas, Vogel warned that "we can not afford to ignore them." Of the 15 basic minerals which are being used in American industry, he said, over 73 per cent of the total is being imported from these underdeveloped na tions. Vogel reviewed thenvork which FAO has done in the fight against poverty, saying that it has been "an influential force" in "re-! awakening the people of the world," so that they are able to see the food problem. A major reason for this, he said, is the "Rearmament In Food" movement which began, with full support of the FAO, in Western Europe, and which has expanded and grown since. Vogel served as a substitute speaker for Gove Hambridge, also of the FAO, who was previously scheduled to speak but was unable to attend. ' The third and final all-University World Affairs Clinic will be Conducting Research On Australian Politics A University graduate, Fred erick P. Picard, is now in the pro cess of doing research on tne in fluence of American writers in the I formation of the Australian Labor Party. Picard, a native of Geneva, is in Australia doing his research with the aid of a nine month Fullbright Scholarship grant. I Picard aims to trace the influ ence of American writers and in stitutions upon the development of the Australian Labor Party, particularly the influence of Henry George (who visited Aus tralia in 1890), and later of the organization known as the In-! ternational Workers of the World. He will investigate the role ofi Bellemy and his contemporaries who were writing In a similar vein. One of the three major political parties, the Australian Labor Party, which forms opposition in the present Australian parlia ment: Is the party in power in Queensland, New South Wales, and Tasmania; supports a Country Party Government in Victoria; and is the opposition In two other states. "It is not just a case of dull poking around the dusty archi ves," says Picard. "My research entails meeting people and travel ing around. By the time I leave in September I will have seen something of Melbourne, Brisbane, syaney, as wea as Canberra, the national capital. He has already had an inter view with the Leader of the Fed eral Parliamentary Labor Party, Dr. Evatt, who is a former presi dent of the United Nations As semble, and he has had discus sions with Labor politician Al lan D. Fraser. "To be in a country for some time, explains Picard, "gives you an understanding of that coun try's problems which you can not get by reading." Picard is most appreciative of the opportunities that the Full bright award has given him. He hopes that Australians may have similar opportunities for study ing the American political back ground, feeling that the interna- Summer Nebraskan Photo PICKARD (R) . . . Chats with Allen D.

By a series of scholarships, in cluding a Regent Scholarship and Cobley Fellowship, Picard worked his way .through the University of Nebraska. A Phi Beta Kappa, he received his A. B. degree "with distinction." Picard feels that his work In Australia will be of great value to him as, on returning home, he intends to enter the Foreign Serv ice or the Department of Labor. "The pace here is very different from home," Picard says. "I have found Australians to be most hos pitable and gracious and very polite.'' In return Australians have complimented Picard's manner. describing him as humorous, po lite, and unostentatious. While in Australia. Picard hopes to watch a few cricket matches, and he intends to make a study of the Australian National Code of football, which incorpo rates some features of the gridiron' game, as well as of Rugby and Soccer.
