Which is another way of saying that there has been a national conference about it. Nothing happened at the con ference to make the removal of defensive ear plugs an early priority. The Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, Dr. William H. Stewart, said that excessive noise is a bad thing and its effects should be con sidered carefully. Senate Clif ford P. Case, of New Jersey, said that sonic booms ought to be looked into. While no definite steps, were taken, the ill effects of uncontrolled noise on Hear ing, digestion, the nervous sys tem and other body functions were emphatically confirmed.

Although steps toward the beginning of an ef fective anti-npise campaign In America have been rather tenta tive and halting so far, there is little doubt that it will eventually get started.

One of the advocates of Federal noise controls legisla tion, Congressman Theodore R. Kupferman, of New York, re cently summed up the situation thus: "... If proper educa tional and remedial steps in this area had been taken 10 years ago, the air pollution problem might not have reached the proportions it has today.
