TUESDAY, APRIL 28. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE Sound Firm In Los Angeles Announces Biggest Noise LOS ANGELES (AP) A Los Angeles firm is developing an out-of-this-world sound but it won't be heard on your hi-fi set or any where else. . This sound can kill you. said William Thomas, president ol James B. Lansing Sound Inc. . He exnjains the sound i sn loud that: You can't hear it be cause you would be dead before you heard it. It's perfectly capa ble of destroying human tissue. and a human being subjected to such high frequency sound waves actually would be homogenized or scrambled in seconds. Thomas described the firm's High Intensity Sound Simulator I HISS) as a major breakthrough in efforts to simulate tremendous vibrations encountered on a trip to outer space. Vibrations on such a trip are caused by high speed ana snocx waves. Lansing Sound recently got con tracts from two missile manufac turers to build similar noisemak ers to test, electronic components used in missiles. Thomas said HISS could be used in all fields of electronics to produce more re liable electro n i c compon ents through testing by high fre quency sound waves. HISS sound waves develop high frequency vibrations capable of rattling a building with an inten sity greater than an earthquake, he added. But, Thomas noted, the noise- makpr mnlrin I h used 3 dC2lh ray in wartime because sound waves dissipate rapidly in the at mosphere. He gave this description of Hlbb It is housed in a concrete structure weighing hundreds of tons and containing many high' powered loudspeakers, powered by seven 10-kilowatt amplifiers. These devices emit sound from the small end. The sounds travel through a horn, bounce off a two- mch-thick metal plate and are dis sipated in a sink containing sound' absorbing material. How loud is this big noise? Can't say, said Thomas, because no one has ever heard it. The only noise comparable to HISS, he added, is the close-up roar of a giant missile just as it thunders off a launching pad, powered by several hundred thou sand pounds of thrust. ( (i ; w jm . ORRIN 4-H Schooner Due June 20 At Oregon State College ORMSBEE Miffed Senate President Breaks Two. Precedents SALEM (AP) - Senate Presi dent Walter J. Pearson, miffed because the House has voted a 17 per cent increase in the Higher Education budget, broke two prec edents Friday. He sent the 5 million dollar appropriation bill to the Senate State and Federal Affairs Com mittee, a new procedure because the joint Ways and Means Com mittee always bandies the appro priation bills. Then Pearson met in a secret Safety Record Best So Far PORTLAND (AP) Mill and woods workers on the West Coast experienced the most accident- free year in the 25-year history of the Forest Products Safety Conference during 1938. , This was announced by Frank white, Vancouver, B.C., statisti cian for the conference, at the group's annual meeting here Fri day. He told the session here four times more wood-working opera tion!) were free of accident in 1958 as in any other of the other 24 years since the conference was founded. The figures, White said, were compiled from safety reports sub mitted by 22S woods and mill op erations. Spme 3C0 delegates from 11 Western states and two Canadian provinces were attending the two day meetings, which ended Saturday. Flee Artist Bid Failure SAN QUENTIN (UP1) San Quentin Prison could not ' hold long time convict Elzia Edward Mead, but the veteran escape art ist admitted today that time had caught up with him. . In the pre-dawn darkness Sun day, the 62-year-old seven - time loser, out of prison only four years since 1916, attempted to pull one last escape. He has tried to break out of almost every major prison in America and often suc ceeded. ' In the classic manner, he sawed fn half the bars of a window in the prison hospital. He crawled through and then, with the help of a pole with a hook on the end, he hauled his emaciated no-pound frame 12 feet onto the roof. He left a pajama clad dummy in the bed. ' It was an impressive escape, but it was too much for Mead, a hospital patient for the past six hiontns. . "I busted a cavity in my lung," he said. "4 spit half a pint of blood. My left arm was para lyzed. I had 72 feet of rope in my pocket I. braided it out of bed sheets so I could get to the ground. But all I could do was call for help." Prison guards hustled him back to his bed and he turned over .lis hacksaw to them, but declined to sav where he got it. He said he was delighted to learn that no one planned to press escape charges against him. "I'm serving three life sen tences now." he said. "Two be cause I'm a habitual criminal and one for armed robbery. session with the committee to ex plain why he doesn't like the bill. Barring reporters from the meet ing was a violation of legislative custom. Pearson reportedly objected be cause the bill would give college and university faculty members an 11 per cent salary increase that would cost three million dol lars. The bill was prepared by the joint Ways and Means Commit tee before the House passed it Thursday. The action brought a quick re tort from Rep. Keith Skelton (D- B-ugene), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. He told the House the Senate State and Federal Affairs Com mittee does not know anything about higher education. He then explained that a meeting of the joint Ways and Means Committee, scheduled Saturday, had to be cancelled because ' the Senate closed up shop Friday until next Tuesday. I just want to advise all House committees to give Senate bills very careful scrutiny from now on, the angered Skelton said. Speaker Robert B. Duncan re- Dlied that "all bills should be giv en very careful scrutiny ail of the time. Two weeks ago. Pearson sent the House-passed bill to the Sen ate State and Federal Affairs Committee, instead of to the High way Committee. He opposes the increase. The committee added a clause referring it to the people. If the House accepts the refer ral clause, then the tax increase could not go into effect until after the November 1960 general elec tion, if the people approve it. If the House refuses the amend ment, then there will not be any bill passed because the Senate committee said it would reject the bill without the referral clause.

Brown has given his support to proposals before the Legislature calling for boosts in unemployment and "disability in surance benefits and workmen's compensation payments. I think they may safely be characterized as offering the ereatest advances in this area in recent California history," Brown said Sundav. Bills before the Legislature tnis session would: -fncrease maximum weekly un employment insurance payments from $40 to $a5. Allow a jobless worker to earn $12 a week, rather than $3 and still be eligible for unemployment benefits. Extend unemployment insur ance payments from 26 to weeks whenever statewide unem ployment passes 6 per cent of the work force. ". Boost maximum temporary workmen's compensation benefits from $50 to $65 a week and maxi mum permanent benefits from $40 to $o2.50 a week. Raise maximum disability un employment compensation paid for off the job injury or illness from $50 to $65 a week.

Allies Near Agreement On Germany WASHINGTON (AP) The Western allies are reported 50 per cent agreed on what their propos als and strategy should be when they meet with the Soviet Union in two weeks to discuss Berlin and Germany's future. Diplomats are confident, how ever, the remaining 50 per cent of differences will be resolved and a united negotiating front forged at a Western Big Three meeting be ginning in Paris Wednesday. A team of American, British, rench and West German offi- ials, however, have failed to re concile diverging views, particu larly on European security offers, at a meeting which ended in Lon don Thursday. The main conflict appears to. He i Britain's continued insistence on proposing some kind of central European arms control plan, not necessarily linked to progress in achieving German reumtication. The British are understood to be continuing to press for Western agreement on a plan to ask the Soviet Union to accept a ceiling on troops and weapons in a small area covering both parts of East and West Germany. American, West German and French authorities are reported insisting that any such plan be tied to step-by-step progress in merging the Western and Com munist zones of Germany into a single democratic nation.
