Using old fashioned American ingenuity, the company devised a technique that didn't require spending any new money and spared the workers the environmental health hazards of high decible readings.

Schott has hired only deaf persons to work in the noisiest parts of the plant.

All wear Groucho muspith helmets. And speaking of rockers, Joe Cocker is looking like his old self again. His eyes are bleary, his chin stubbled and his hair hangs in greasy rat tails.

One of London's reporters hailed his return to the scene with "Rock and roll's most talented superslob is back in business." For a guy who knows exactly what he likes, we offer British multimillionaire Charles Clore. Asked by a London newspaper, Mr. Clore had a firm answer to whether or not he is a lover of art. "Certainly not," he snapped. "I like blocks of apartment houses." Down in Barberton, and I shall not tell you exactly where, a big bargain shop has the sign: "Today we cut our Cocker prices.

Tomorrow we cut our throats." THE FINAL WORD At today's prices you should cry over spilt milk. 'Russia Responsible For Pole Massacre' LONDON The Soviet Union was almost certainly responsible for the 1940 execution of more than 10,000 Polish soldiers in the World War II massacre of Katyn Woods, according to secret British papers made public today. The documents, released after 30 years by the Foreign Office, said a "considerable body of circumstantial evidence backed up Nazi claims that Germany had nothing to do with the killings." They disclosed Britain kept its suspicions of Russian guilt quiet for the sake of allied unity during the war. The German government announced the discovery of mass graves at Katyn in April 1943. The Soviet government repeatedly denied guilt and accused the Germans of murdering the prisoners during their 1941 assault on Russia.

OWEN O'MALLEY, then British ambassador to Poland, wrote Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, now the Earl of Avon, on May 24, 1943: "It is not without hesitation that I address this dispatch to you, which also gives grounds for misgivings about the character and policy of the pre- It Was A Cool 4th It wasn't exactly a balmy Independence Day Tuesday. But things have been worse. Average high for the Fourth of July for the last 30 years is 82, and 61 the average low, according to Akron-Canton weather bureau. Akron recorded a high of 72 Tuesday, 10 degrees below the normal high, and a low of 52 at 1 this morning, nine degrees below normal. Low readings for recent Independence Days are: 17 in 1968; 50 in 1967: 47 in 1963; 51 in 1960; and 49 in 1953.

Record low was 41 in 1904. Two Pull Out Of Democrat TV Fund-Raiser From Beacon Journal Wire Services Two movie stars have pulled out of the Democratic Party's 19-hour telethon next weekend and one of Sen. George McGovern's major financial backers has hired lawyers to look into the possibility of "fraud" in connection with the fund-raising spectacular. Newman angrily backed out of the show over McGovern's loss of more than half his California delegates, according to a telethon spokesman. TV star Ben Gazzarra, acting separately, also withdrew in protest of the party's Credentials Committee decision last week rejecting California's winner-take-all presidential primary rule.

MEANWHILE, Stewart R. Mott, who has given $400,000 in cash and loans to the McGovern campaign, said the marathon telecast "could be the biggest rip-off in the history of political campaign finance." Mott and party officials are disputing the formula for. distributing proceeds from the telethon. Funds produced via the telethon would be used in this order: First to pay for the TV show (about $2 million), then to pay off the party's $9.3 million debt from the '68 presidential campaign. Any additional money would 1 be available for this year's campaign.

Mott claimed telethon literature is misleading. He said the theme of it is "help put a Democrat in the White House." He said this implies donations would be used for the 1972 campaign. He said it would be a "fraud" against people who respond to the TV appeal unless it's made clear some of the money will go to pay off 1968 debts. MORE THAN 160 stars will appear during the 19-hour telecast Saturday and Sunday. Among them will be such 17 Hurt In Bus Pile-Up PITTSBURGH (P) At least 17 persons were injured today when two buses and at least six cars were involved in a pile-up on rain-soaked Interstate 76 just west of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel, police said.

One of the buses and a car caught fire but the flames were quickly doused. The accident was triggered when a small foreign car went out of control in front of a Port Authority Transit bus. The bus struck the rear of the car, then itself was rammed by a Greyhound express bus, witnesses told police. THE ACCIDENT occurred where re the parkway widens into three lanes. The PAT bus and the small car caught fire, but the bus, although loaded with commuters, was quickly evacuated.

At least one person on the PAT bus was reported seriously burned. None of the patients appeared critically injured. A spokesman at Presbyterian Hospital said the only serious injury there was the woman burned in the PAT bus, identified as Lena Fekris, 55, of Brentwood. She was admitted with second-and third-degree Brothers Shot In Ireland BELFAST, Northern Ireland (P) The bodies of two Protestant brothers, 19 and 20, were found today shot through the head. Two others were wounded in shooting incidents before dawn despite the cease-fire.

The deaths brought to 401 the number of dead in three years of violence. Brittain Rd. Bank Robbed A lone gunman robbed the American Bank of Commerce, 1899 Brittain at noon today, escaping with an undetermined amount of cash. Bank officials told police the man, about 25 and wearing a brown trench coat, escaped through the Chapel Hill shopping center after the robbery. No one was injured.

Raul Leoni, 67, former president of Venezuela and architect of that South American nation's present-day democraey, died today at New York Hospital. Leoni, a founder of the Accion Democratica party, followed Romulo Betancourt as president in 1964 and served five years. N. Viets: Supplies Bypass Blockade HONG KONG (P) North Vietnam claimed today it is getting war supplies by sea through 12 "coastal points" which the United States has not been able to blockade by mines or naval ships. It also claimed U.S.

bombing not stopping rail shipments of supplies because rail lines are being repaired within hours after bombing attacks. "If the U.S. wanted to destroy railroads and stop rail operations," Radio Hanoi said in a broadcast monitored in Hong Kong, "U.S. planes would have to bombard more than 6,000 times a month, and even then Communist workers would be able to make enough repairs to keep supplies moving." THE BROADCAST, which admitted that Haiphong, North Vietnam's chief port, was effectively closed, did not name or locate any of the 12 coastal points. However, the coastline is studded with hundreds of small, rocky inlets and bays where cargo could be unloaded from rivertype boats, small landingcraft and shallow-draft, Chinese-type junks.

This is particularly true along the 150 miles of coastline from Haiphong harbor to REYKJAVIK, Iceland (P The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. Fischer, temperamental, 29- year-old U. S. chess champ, today publicly apologized to Spassky for delaying the start of the match. Fischer said he has "the greatest respect" for the Russian champ.

After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48-hour postponement. of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday.

The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected Fischer's demand for 30 pct. of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 35-year-old Soviet champion called the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. He said Fischer, it by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky of personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. In New York, Col.

E. B. Edmondson, director of the U. S. Chess Federation, called the dispute a charade and said it had far enough." Edmondson said if either player fails to appear for Thursday's match the other should get the world title by default.

With the contribution from the London banker, James D. Slater, the winner is to get $156,250 and the loser $93,750. In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights. Fischer, who normally shuns public exposure, complained in an impromptu news conference Tuesday night before leaving for Reykjavik, that he had gone unrecognized last Sunday while bowling in Long Island. Fischer said that he had been hiding out at the home of a chess colleague, Anthony Saidy, in Douglaston, Queens, a wealthy residential area of New York City.

Reporters suspecting Fischer was inside, had stood outside the sprawling Saidy house for two days despite repeated assertions by Saidy that Fischer was not' inside. Saidy emerged early Tuesday night to announce that Fischer would see a newsman. Saidy selected a representative from the New York Times. Inside the foyer of the house, Fischer appeared and demanded, "Where is the TV? I want the TV. I want television newsmen." The television crews of ABC and NBC waiting disconsolately outside were hurriedly summoned.

Seated on the sofa while the television men set up their machines, Fischer suddenly jumped. "What time is it?" he asked, seeming unconcerned at the answer. "There's too many people in here. I can't breathe." he announced next. His friends who had sheltered him these last few days began to leave the room.

"No, you can stay," he calling one watcher "Too many guys in here," he mumbled to himself. During the interview Fischer paced. He crumpled and unfolded a white handkerchief in his left hand and chewed on an edge of it. He picked momentarily at a cuticle. No, he said, he wasn't nervous.

His dirty blond hair was vaguely combed, somewhat matted. He wore a diamonddesign knit blue shirt and maroon slacks. Although seated inside on a green flowered sofa he unaccountably clutched a leather jacket in his lap. Asked why he finally agreed to talk to newsmen after bolting and hiding from them in the past, he said, without a smile, "I feel people have a right to know what's going on.

Father Drowns In Rescue Attempt A Barberton man drowned Tuesday while helping to save his 9-year-old daughter when their rented canoe overturned on Turkeyfoot channel.

Put Bomb On Plane SAIGON (P A bomb that destroyed a Cathay Pacific Airways jetliner over South Vietnam June 15 was smuggled aboard the plane in a suitcase man wearing a police uniform, aviation sources said today. A little more than an hour after leaving Bangkok on a flight to Hong Kong, the plane exploded at 29,000 feet over South Vietnam's central highlands, killing all 71 passengers and 10 crew members.

Sixteen of the passengers were Americans. Sources close to the crash investigation identified the luggage as being delivered in the name of Miss Somwang Promprim, one of the 36 passengers who boarded at Bangkok. Sources said the aircraft was ready to depart when the man in police uniform came aboard with the suitcase and put it under Miss Promprim's seat. Insurance policies totaling at least $115,000 were taken out on Miss Promprim and a 7-year-old girl traveling with her shortly before they boarded the plane..
