ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 18.-The Navy
is trying to develop ship engines so
quiet that enemy listening devices
will be unable to detect them.
The experts have no illusions
about building a completely silent
ship. But they hope to muffle en-
gine noise to such an extent that it
will be quieter than natures under
water sounds.
"You can't hear a baby crying in
a boiler factory" says Capt. Wilson
D. Leggett, director of the Navy's
new acousticai laboratory here.
In the laboratory's almost per-
fectly soundproofed compartments
huge ship engines will be hoisted up
and turned over. .Microphones will
pick up the sounds and feed them
into delicate noise-measuring in
struments.
That IS the first thing on the Navy
noise doctors agenda. After they
have determined the decibel rating
of various types of submarine and
battlewagon engines, they hope to
be able to recommend changes to
cut down the racket.
THE problem sof noise and vibra-
tion transmitted from ships through
the water to enemy detection de-
vices developed into one Of major
importance during the last war"
Capt. Leggett said.
He cited acoustical torpedoes
that hear" their way to their tar
get. Sonar detection instruments,
he said, are far ahead of defensive
soundproofing.
The experiment station which
opened yesterday also hopes to solve
a problem for engineroom and SUBJ
marine crews, who get "jumpy"
under constant pounding of heavy
motors.
The Navy is not ready to say just
how noisy an American submarine
is. One officer, though. assured that
living in submarine Is much
noisier than one decibel. which he

On Berlin Blockade Issue

PARIS, Dec. 18 tP.-Another try

bring the United Nations Security
Council back into session here be-
fore it returns to New York in Janu-

the possibility.
A committee of economic experts
of six neutral nations is working on
the Berlin dual currency problem.
The Russians insist that only the
Soviet zone mark should be used in
all sectors of Berlin. The United
States, Britain and France have re-
fused to negotiate with Russia di-
rectly while the Soviets maintain
their blockade.
1T is not impossible the commit
tee will arrive at a decision before
the end Of the month, in which case
another meeting Of the Security

The defense officials have decided

too great a schism in the military

However. they feel that the Ma

hoped that provisions short of COM

An interservice committee headed
by Assistant Secretary of the Army

adopted by Mr.. Forrestal. It rec
