Ellli United Press Science Writer . New York, Apr. 20 (U.R Science has developed the put lic address system to a fine point yet microphones ana loua speaK ers are generally not accepted for use in the courtroom. Perhaps they never will be, because the dignity of the court must at all times be upheld. Yet, a dignified p.a. system might help the administration of justice. Manv witnesses are frightened when they go on the stand and sometimes their voice is barely more than a whisper. Many times their remarks have to be repeated by the court reporter, and usually because an attorney requested It. There must be times when a juror would like to have a statement repeated. At the "mercy killing" trial In Manchester, N. H., the jurors often had to lean lorwara in their chairs to get what the wit ness was saying. It has been so In many other trials. A system such as used by the United Nations might be applied In the court room. Delegates of the UN speak into a microphone and the comments are picked up by miniature radio receivers in headsets which other delegates or spectators have. To prevent a case of "mike fright," the mi crophone at the witness stand could be hidden and the witness could speak in his normal voice. Attorneys Questioning prospec tive Jurors hardly ever I whether the person has defective hearing. Many persons who are hard of hearing retrain lrom ad mitting their defect, which in turn might affect his qualifica tion as a good Juror. The question of tape recording of witnesses' testimony in court also has been raised many times. Again, science has developed tape recording to a fine point. Several types of recording ma chines are available. The taped recording might possibly be used by Juries in deliberating the case, it has been pointed out. The American Medical associa tion, according to reports, sought to have a complete transcription of the "mercy killing" trial of Dr. Hermann N. Sander but the cost was too high. Gideons Slate Fifth Anniversary Monday "The Gideons of the Rogue Valley camp will celebrate their fifth anniversary Monday, April 23, in the First Methodist church in Medford, beginning with a turkey dinner at 6:45 p. m.
