trying to develop a system where
by talented employees would be
promoted on competitive basis
to supervisory and other manage
ment positions.
The Norfolk Naval Air Station
has developed a promotion pro-
gram for its classified employees
that has won enthusiastic ap-
proval of Navy personnel officials
here. They say the program prob
ably will be extended to other
Navy installations and might form
the basis of a Navy-wide promo
ton system.
Program Is Explained.
Under the Norfolk program, job
openings are widely publicized
whenever they occur. This gives
employees who are interested in
better positions a chance to apply.
They are then screened by a spe-
cial employment board which sizes
up their personal qualities. If
they satisfy the board as to their
capacity for filling the job in ques-
tion, they then are given an exam
for the position.
Those scoring the top grades re-
ceive first chance at the positions
in the order of their marks.
Navy officials say they don't
claim the system is foolproof or
that it can't be improved. But
they feel it is step in the right
direction and can be improved in
the future through trial and error.
1t is felt that one of the great
|eSt incentive for high morale and
greater production is the establish
ment of a democratic promotion
program whereby employees with
liability and devotion to duty are
afforded a chance to advance on
a merit basis.
The rest Of the Governments
departments and agencies also
realize the Importance of a work.
able promotion program. Several
have been put into effect. But for
the most part the Governments S
promotion system is on q hit-or-
miss basis, where favoritism can
and sometimes does play a part.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 8.
An Air Force noise expert says
jet engines are not much louder
than conventional piston engines
they just sound that way.
The difference. Maj. Elizabeth
Guild of the School of Aviation
Medicine said today, is that the
jets cover all the sound frequen-
cies with equal intensity-giving
what experts call a white" noise
while the sound of the piston
engines is concentrated in the
lower frequencies.
Ears accustomed to the older
type of power plant notice the jets
more" Mai. Guild declared.
Maj. Guild and 1t. David D.
Washburn were sent from Ran
Fdolph Field. near here. to MacD1l
fAir Force Base, Tampa, Fla, to
check on complaints about the
noise of jets. A summary Of their
findings was made public today

Three Types of Jets.
MacDill, a part of the Strategic
Air Command, is a home base for
three types Of jet aircraft-six-
engine BAT bombers. and single
engine F-84 fighters and T-33
trainers - along with powerful
four piston engine C-97 cargo
planes and B-29 and B-50 bomb
Iers.
Maintenance men on MacDill's
flight line complained that they
were going deaf. Office workers
said the engine whine drowned
out telephone conversation.
Attractive Betsy Guild and her
assistant found that the jets are
noisy, all right. The B-47engine

in flight puts out as much as 108
decibels of sound, which is roughly
the equivalent of riveters at work
on a building next door. (The
decibel is a unit of sound volume)
And on the maintenance line,
when the engines are run at full
throttle, the noise scars to 130
idecihels, near the threshold of ac-
ltual pain.
Power Units Also Noisy.
But they also reported that:
/. Auxiliary power units, useo
in starting the engines, produced
as much as 118 decibels for &c
minutes at a time.
2. Fire trucks, idling on the run
ways at a normal 80 decibels, shot
up to 120 decibels whenever the
pumps were tested.
3. In the radio control shack
generators produced up to 108 de-
cibeis for 80 or 40 minutes in each
lhour-while Jets landing or taking
toff nearby registered only lilo de-
tcibels at most.
7 4. On the base as a whole, the
hubbub of passing traffic, lawn
mowers and miscellaneous sounds
mounted to as high as 80 decibels,
while the jet planes overhead sell
dom produced more than 86.
Il Adding up all the evidence, Maj.
Guild concluded that jets are no
Serious threat to the hearing of
any one except the maintenance
men who keep them flying.
"And the line worker is in no
danger of going deaf if he keeps
a well-fitted set of ear plugs
and wears them constantly when
he is exposed to intense sound of
