Morris and many passengers gave credit to the ship's hydraulic a bilizcrs, which extend from its side below the waterline, for reducing some of the discomfort.

DiJoseph started his protest I PLUSH counsel argue that the prosecution had failed prove guilt on nine points. The lawyers presented affidavits from two j-rors that a tipstaff had talked about the case to jurors during the trial in which Mrs.

Kravitz was convicted of second-degree murder. The reference to the jurors' af fidavits produced a lively ex change in which the leading roles were taken by Judge Danne hower, DiJoseph and O'Hey with O'Hey insisting an investigation of the truth of the statements contained in the affidavits should have been made. JUDGE INTERRUPTS O'Hey told the four judges that the two jurors had been brought to his office by Mrs. Caroli Dewey, who had covered the trial for a news service, some days after the trial ended. On the basis of their statements, he said he prepared affidavits which they signed.

There should have been an immediate investigation," he told the court. At this point Judge Danne hower interrupted him and de clared: "I would have ordered one but I knew this came from an unre liable source." O'Hey said that the affidavits were taken in his omce and when" I presented them to the court my own integrity was at stake." PLENTY OF TIME' "We still have plenty of time for an investigation, Judge Dannehower told him. O'Hey then informed the court that one of the jurors wanted to "come here and testi fy." "We'll get him in," Judge Dan nehower said, "and Mrs. Dewey, too." DiJoseph then entered the ex change and commented on Mrs. Dewey.

DiJoseph, opening his opposi tion argument to granting the two petitions, directed his first remarks to the circumstances of the affidavits of the two jurors. BADGERED JURORS" He told the -court she had "har assed, badgered and annoyed the jurors since the trial." "Why she even telephoned the Passons (sister and brother-in- law of the dead real estate oper ator), a broken-hearted family," DiJoseph said. "She also an- noyed me at my office frequently. "One juror telephoned me. She ing on the appeals for arrest of judgment and new trial was recessed until 9:30 A.

Arnold Forrest and 1.59 oeh lo.Vi ever. out. I spring a surprise attack on this country. There was inclination to agree with part of the secretary's view that it would be difficult to ar range a massive strike force of manned bombers without the United States becoining aware of the preparations. EXPRESSES SKEPTICISM But there was less agreement with his statement that it would be equally difficult to set eff a surprise attack by misiles of the foreseeable future.

One member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who requested anonymity, expressed skepticism about McElroy's opinion on missile attack warn ing. The aenator wondered how McElroy could find ground ior his belief that the coordination and communications required for setting up a massive missile at tack would be so great that it would be "observable in one way er another." SHARED BY JOINT CHIEFS McElroy said he and the Joint Chiefs of Staff shared that opinion. Some military men, who also preferred anonymity, indicated that the 'degree of strategic warning for misile attack could -be substantially less than that for invasion by manned bomber fleets. The military men declined to talk in detail, but there are some obvious factors. Detection of missile warfare preparations probably would vary with areas.

Thus, knowledge of such preparations might be more easily obtained in bordering, satellite countries than within the Soviet nation it self. NO BREAKTHROUGH McElroy said there would be such a tremendous amount of communications and "other kinds of moving around" to pre pare for an attack that they would be observable. He ap peared to be talking at this point about both manned bomber and missile attack. However, if Rus sia is following the'plan of the United States, its missiles will be emplace'd at launchng points and kept ready for months or years, to be fired with the mere pressing of a button. 1 So far as is known, there has been no breakthrough in the complex and long-existing system of strategic warning used by all major powers.

'Discomforf Index' New Service On Weather WASHINGTON, March 7 (UPI). HE Weather Bureau an nounced today that when the heat and humidity return next summer many of its stations will keep the public apprised of the "discomfort index." This will let you know at a glance whether you are just uncomfortable or "acutley 'miserable." Calculation and announcement of the discomfort index, derived from heat and humidity measurements, will be on an experimental basis until it is determined whether there is enough public demand to make the service permanent. "Index figures," the bureau predicted, "will enable managers of office buildings, hotels and movie houses to judge when they should turn on the air conditioning machinery. They will also enable utilities to judge the power load for air conditioning that their customers require." The discomfort index was worked out by climatologist Earl C. Thorn.

He arrived at a sort of curve showing roughly for various values of the index what percentage of the population will be uncomfortable and in what degree. The index may be stated in terms of temperature and rela tive humidity. The index reaches 75, for example, when the temperature is 75 degrees and tho relative humidity 100 percent, or degrees and 60 percent, or 85 and 30.
