The Pentagon is paying a
Michigan speech professor $42,-
780 to figure out what noise
best attracts a persons atten-
ton. Michigan State University
announced today.
The professor, DR.. Herbert ].
Oyer, already has started work
on the project, which may take
a year or longer and involve the
services of three or more assist
ants, some working full-time.
Its purpose Is to come up with
the optimum warning signal to
be used in event of an enemy
attack.
There are some naive souls
who thought the problem of
emergency alarms was pretty
well settled when Cagniard de
la Tour invented the siren in
1919, but things have grown
more complex since then.
Sirens are kind of an en-
pirical thing" explained Henry
Brown. project officer in the
Research Directorate, Office of
Civil Defense, which ordered
the noise study. They are just

who police say has a juvenile
record of grand larceny, armed
robbery, assault and several
traffic charges dating back to
his 18th year, was arrested by
Fairfax County police yesterday
when he appeared at the court
house to pay $12.75 collateral
on a routine traffic case.
The youth was charged with
violating the State armed rob-
berry and Federal bank robbery
laws. Bond was set at $4,000
on the State charge and $40. 900
on the Federal charge.
Hutchinson was arraigned
late yesterday before Justice of
the Peace L. w. Mundy who
continued the bond and set a
preliminary hearing for August
%. The youth then was sent
to Fairfax County Jail.
Two county officers, Detec-
tive Philip Powell and Corpl.

But the noise project has

sour, note on Capitol Hill. In
formed Of the $42.780 study,
Senator Harry F. Byrd, econ
omy-minded Democrat from
Virginia issued the following
statement, in the tone of a
man who has grown to expect
such things in Government:
Civil Defense funds are now
being spent through at least
three different areas of the
Government and it is not
surprising that such noneSsen-
tial projects as this are being
undertaken
with a requested increase
Of ITS per cent in funds, it
appears that the Defense De-
partment decided it could
spend $42,780 for a research
project on the kinds and color
of noises"

of noise. People said. Here's
something that makes a noise,
let's use it. Nobody's ever gone
at it from the other side: What
kind of noise do we WANT?'
This is more basic"
When DR.. Oyer completes his
research and field tests Of vari-
Gus noises, it may well be that
his finding will prove imprac-
tical, Mr.. Brown said.
''But it still won't have been

we'll have learned something"

interview, said he can think

quirements for the ideal sound.

should be a sound that suggests
danger to a person.
"It should be q sound that
would not be confused with

used to hearing. 1t ought to
arouse a person from sleep as
well as compete with the noises

Senator Pastore said that
such an amendment probably
would cause the House to send

Senate Democratic Leader

It depends on how many pend

loss in the hijacking of q
United States mail truck in
Randolph last night totaled ap-
proximately SIS million. This
exceeds the loss in the Nations
previous biggest cash robbery,

An eight-man gang armed
with submachine guns held up
two guards after one bandit,
dressed as a police officer, sig
nailed them to halt.
Hours later police at the
scene were without clues to
the robbers.
The Federal Reserve Bank
made it clear the money stolen
was the responsibility of the
Reserve Bank and that Cape
Cod member banks shipping
the funds would stand no
losses.
Four Cars Used
At least four automobiles
were used in the robbery. After
tying up the trucks two guards,
the bandits made three stops
as they unloaded the money
which was contained in Is
sealed bags. Two stolen cars
were abandoned near the scene
They were checked by State po-
lice fingerprint experts.
The robbery was smoothly
executed. The mail truck wal

viduals.
Detour Signs Set Up
The gunner set up detour
signs to half traffic in both
directions. The signs were
placed in the northbound lane
forcing Boston-bound traffic

his versatility.
Earl Battey, who ranks just be-

had a good season in 1862. AS did
Lennie Green, who collected more
hits than any other Twin. He is
slated to start in left field. Zoilo

The Kansas City Athletics, who

Texas Southern won four other

1t was rumored at the Drake

TSU's 11-man squad is rated the
swiftest in the nation and so far
this season in three major meets
has established itself as the team
to beat.
Early this spring TSU showed
up in Baton Rouge, La. for the

but were credited with five when
an official ruled that a runner had
passed the baton outside the pass

They entered the famed Texas

In the Kansas Relays the story
was just about the same they set
