Airport Noise
Could BeCut,
Probe Is Told
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

A House committee heard
experts on acoustics explain
today that some of the noise
in neighborhoods near airports
could be toned down.
AS House Commerce Commit
tee members continued hear
ings on how to cut down the
nuisance and the menace of
aviation noises, a panel of en-
gineers agreed that planes and
airport areas cannot be made
sound-free without sacrificing
safety and aeronautical prog
reSs.
Nevertheless, they testified
that much can be done to
lessen the impact and irritation
of such noises.
A National Bureau of Stand
ards specialist, DR.. Richard X.
Cook, told of substantial gains
in sound insulation of buildings
near airports.
Harvey Hubbard of the
Langley Research Station in
Virginia suggested that broad
belts of trees and shrubbery be
built around airports wherever
possible. This has been tried
to some extent at Dulles Inter-
national Airport.
Psychological Response"
DR.. Karl Kryter of Harvard
University reported intensive
study not only Of the meas
urementS of aviation sounds,
but also of the psychological
response" of individuals and
communities to such sounds.
Frank w. Kolk of New York
City, an American Airlines en-
gineer, noted that the problem
of noise abatement around air.
ports is continually growing be-
cause communities and cities
will inevitably move out to air.
port areas just as they did
years ago to railroad stations"
Mr.. Kolk said each tech
biological change, such as from
propeller to jet propulsion, cre-
ates new noise problems.
But we have begun to un-
derstand better why all those
engines and equipment make
the noise they do" he added.
The new models Of jets show
steady improvement in noise
abatement equipment. How
ever, there is need for incen-
tives for manufacturers to seek
further improvements. such as
conversion to less noisy en-
pineS"

Cite ZOning Difficulties

At the start Of three days
of hearings yesterday Federal
Aviation Administrator NajeeD
E. Halaby and others empha-
sized the desirability as well
as difficulty of coming regula-
tionS around airports.
He said the FAA long has
considered recommending that
the Federal Government with
hold matching funds for air
port construction unless States
and local communities zone
airport areas mainly for nom
residential purposes.
He indicated, however, that
such legislation would be hard
TO draft and enforce and might
create more problems than 1t
would solve.

as author. Up ahead are three
more dramas.
"This is the first time I
have worked on several ideas
at one time" the dramatist
notes. "In the past. at the
end Of an undertaking, I
would feel depleted until I
found another topic"
The creative burst follows
@ deliberate hiatus that be-
gan in 1855 after "Lunatics
and Lovers"
"I went on o seven-year
sabbatical," he explains. be
cause I felt there were amny
things In the world all at
once that I knew nothing
about. I felt we had suddenly
stepped into q new age and
I've been exploring"
Waiting, Not Tagging
Kingsley regards such un-
rest as pretty general In the
playwriting profession = "I
think perhaps the dramatists
are impatient with them

forms.
"I don't believe Broadway

What are the favorites of
q man who's watched the
movies since they were one
reelers In the penny arcades,
10 years ago?
"For me, one Of the best
comedians is Bob Hope. He
can never give @ bad per-
formance. He's too proud Of
his career to give q bad one.
But my favorite movies
are Westerns. I like to watch
them on teleyision. The Vir-
ginian' was q great film. It
was made three or four times
the first time with Dusty
Farnum. 20 years later with
Gary Cooper.
81 preferred Gary Cooper
to anyone. You always felt
in his movies that he wasn't
the kind Of man who killed
for the Joy Of killing.
"Then there was William
s. Hart-the greatest por-
trayer Of Western men-and
a great Shakespearean actor.
He would be Just as good
today as he was 80 years
ago. He was an educated

Still, there was tradition
to guide the management In
handling an explosive situa-
ton. This was the mail or
der system Of selling tickets,
on q first : received first
served basis. It has been in
effect for years, serving as a
sort Of pain-killer II not q
cure for the theater's recur-
ringly sick public relations.
Its effectiveness in this re-
spect has been as a kind Of
reward for getting there first
with a request for seats, and
an accompanying money or
der or check.
1t has met at least with
the respect that still is
granted to enterprise, in this
case getting there first. It did
something. although not
much, to assuage the dis
gruntlement Of those who got
there 16,203d or so.
Tradition Overwhelmed
Why, then, did not the
National follow this estab-
hshed system in the case Of
mfr. President?
That's a good question but
no one in q position to an
swer it is glad to have it
brought up.
It has been addressed too
often to local drama desks
in the last 10 days, however,
for them not to take 1t up
with the theater's manage
ment.
Its answer Is less evasive
than elusive; less defensive
than hurt.
What happened is that the
first announcement Of "Mr.
President" produced some
thing of a general communi-
ty panic. Everyone wanted to
see It. Mail orders began to
pour in, accompanied by
blank checks, even before
ticket prices were announced.
These came from the thea
ter's regular mail order pa
irons, and from those who
had never written before.

mated that the sale by mail

In the 18th century Capt.
Cook stored sauerkraut
aboard his ships. The sailors
who ate it were mysteriously
spared the dread disease that
afflicted seagoing men of
that day and age. The de-
ficiency disease known to us
now as scurvy.
And now we know why.
Twentieth century scien-
lists have established the
fact that sauerkraut rates
high in Vitamin C, the anti
scurvy vitamin so essential
fer general good health, es-
pecially good gums, strong
teeth and bones. In addition,
sauerkraut has been found

amounts of other vitamins.
It's high in the bodybuilding
minerals, notably potash,
iron, phosphorus and CAL
cium. Another plus is the fact
people like it. They like the
pleasant flavor, its delicious
piquancy.
But kraut has improved,
too, by centuries of research.
It's blonder, more evenly
shredded and milder in taste.
1t makes a good teammate
for any number of meats.
Serve it with frankfurterS as
illustrated in our picture. It's
good in soups we've tried it
and the soup is surprisingly
good, with Spareribs, canned
luncheon meats, with pork
chops or meat balls.
