ICY to Study
Sounds Effect
On Weather
By FRANK CAREY
Associated Press Science Writer

A Stanford University scientist
said today that a study OF strange
sounds in outer space might pro-
vide valuable new information
on the weather.
DR.. Robert A. Helliwell told
OF plans for a worldwide study
OF whistling sounds and bird
like warblings, which ocur at
attitudes up to 10000 miles above
the earth He said they were
detachable by radio.
DR.. Helliwell said the whistlinR
sounds were produced by light
ming discharges. The bird-like
sounds, he said, sometimes come
from great heights at dawn and
are known to scientists as the
dawn chorus"
This study project, he said, is
planned for the international
Geophysical Year, which opens
Monday. He is taking part in a
three-day meeting of the United
States National Committee for
ICY at the National Academy Of
Science.
The geophysical year, which
will last 10 months, is q cooper
alive research project in which
81 nations, including the Soviet
Union and most OF It's satellites,
will search for new information
about the earth. It's oceans. and
the atmosphere around the
earth.
During the geophysical year
American scientists plan to
launch artificial earth satellites
into space. The ICY Committee
was told yesterday that scientists
hoped to launch the first satel-
lite by next January. In all, six
will be launched by the United
States. Russia is expected to at
tempt other satellite launchings
