"Whatever variation take's place," the spokesman added, "would probably be inside the states." For example, he said, the draft quotas would be lower in areas. with heavy volunteer enlistments or in a retirement area populated by the elderly, "In those places, the spokesman said, "population doesn't really have much to do with the draft quotas. "Studies over the years have determined that the average age of the draftee is roughly the same 1 in each state and the number of draftees reflects the state's available manpower," he said, "When the secretary of defense gives us an over -all draft call, we allocate it to the states in proportion with the state's share of the total number of men available throughout the United States," he added, Obituaries J.L.

Meanwhile the govern. ment will push an all -out scientific study of the hurricane menace, Hurricanes are winds of 74 miles or more rotating counter.

This should convert super-cool water in the storm clouds to ice crystals, thereby releasing heat. The heat, if the theory is cor. rect, should weaken the centrif. ugal force and thus reduce the speed of the winds.

He did not name the countries he had in mind, but those not represented at the United Nations include the Peking regime, North Viet Nam, North Korea and East Germany. The assembly was not expected to deal with the China issue Crews she was not a good storm to 1c; work with; we could not have determined whether seeding had any effect," said Max Edelstein, scientist with the Navy, which is jointly embarked. with the Weather Bureau on longrange study. Why must the experiments be conducted in certain areas, 1 not others? -Safety is the answer, safety for, human beings, Edelstein stressed.

No storm will be seeded if, on the basis of records of. past it might within 36 hours hit a populated area. "The seeding theory is based on scientific. Mrs. Simpson said, "but there is a possibility -that any link in the chain of reasoning could be wrong." Even if the seeding had no effect, people hit by the storm might think it had.

As for this year's other big storms, Hurricane Anna was way out to sea, too far away. Thant Interns and nurses alerted for emergeney duty at General Hospital could see a wide area of sky lit up through hospital win. dows. Heat from the fire was intense.

A large number of vehicles were destroyed, The livestock barns were spared with the coliseum which housed an automobile exhibit. However hundreds of small animals-chickens, rabbits, doveswere destroyed.

The possibility is that the word was distorted. Because of the high helium content of the gases which the aquanauts breathe, their voices have a high pitch, and the sound is treated electronically to lower it. The result is that Carpenter sounds as though he is holding his nose.

He was asked about the sensation of weightlessness, sea variety. and space variety. In space terms, it's called "gravity free flight," and in ocean environment, it's "neutral buoyancy." "They're quite similar," Carpenter said, when it" comes to doing work, it is easier to do work down here because you have a little purchase on hand.

Carpenter wore an ly heated wet suit. which was being tested in hopes that it would permit aquanauts to leave the Sealab for periods as long, as three hours. There were some prior difficulties with the suits, but the exact nature of any shortcomings was never revealed. As I watched Carpenter on the television monitor Capt. George Bond, who carries the title of principal investigator in the Navy research program, relayed questions.

But later in discussing what oceanographers have described as the "gentle physical environ. ment of the sea," Carpenter commented that "space is a very gentle place. Everything is very gentle. 441 think the sea is very tough.

It is a very hard life. It is more hostile in some ways." Still, in considering what could happen to man in space or beneath the ocean, Carpenter de. cided that space was possibly the most hostile presumably because of such hazards as tox. ic gases and the puncturing of space suits by meteorites. think there is a potential for far more danger in space than there is at he said without elaborating.

Whether man attempts to maintain life in space or in the ocean, he is going to face some basic problems that are much the same, Carpenter indicated. "I don't think there would be any real differences. You still have to build your house. You have to adapt to both environ. ments.

You have to develop proper equipment," he said, Carpenter appeared quite fit and self -contained. until later in the session, and the chances for seating the Pe. king government appeared slim.

The arrangement was worked out to avoid a confrontation on the controver.

Red China raised tensions again today with a new protest accusing India of fresh violations by its border troops. Peking also announced that measures were being taken to bring the Chinese militia to readiness."
