State.
The scientist said that while
present jets and rockets appear
to offer no appreciate hazards
to ground crews beyond pos
sible threats to hearing, de-
velopments in prospect for the
near future suggest a several
fold increase in the noise level.
It's conceivable, he added,
that such developments could
result in functional. stress and
various physical impairments,
including stomach ulcers and
reproductive disorders, unless
measures are found to muff1e
the sound effectively.
DR.. Anthony indicated that
effects other than auditory
ones produced by both the au-
dible and silent sounds were
due to the stress of the sound
waves on bodily and nervous
tissue.

UNIVERSITY PARK. Pa,

Silent sound is noise Of very

the human ear. It's a hidden
component of the thunderous
audible racket of jet engines
and rocket blastoffs.

However, Mr.. Seminara said
that generally higher pay being

is not always the important
one. For example, the pay in

Defense and a Balanced Budqet

unquestionably possibilities
that we may have to put out
one or more brush fires. Yet
the present budget demands
a cut Of $4,000 men in the
ground forces and $4,000
Marines. The latter reduce
ton, II approved by Congress,
may mean the Fleet Marine
Force (the one used In the
Lebanon intervention) may
have to be cut drastically or
abolished.
Nobody can quarrel with
the sound idea Of a balanced
budget. But In days Of in
tense stress and dangers as
these in which we are living
now. national defense cann0t
be impaired. There are
many cuts possible in the
civilian budgets merely by
postponing temporarily some
Of the welfare programs sug-
gested by politicians in both
parties. The foreign eco
nomic aid program can be
reduced by 'postponing help
to neutralist and Communist
countries which are demand
ing our assistance without
any kind Of diplomatic quid
pro quo. Whatever devices
Congress may find to ball
ance the budget can be all
right. provided they do not
cut the water supply from
the hoses in the hands Of our
firemen.
