Research also should be undertaken, the subcommittee said, on the effects of sonic booms on sleep.

The subcommittee stressed that the discouraging picture would hold for any plans to employ the "current version" of the proposed SST.

Gretna Theater's 'Pajama Tops' Is Sweet Nothing JOHN N. GINGRICH Daily News Staff Reporter About the same time that Joe Frazier was putting Manuel Ramos away at Madison Square Garden, the cast of "Pajama Tops" just opening at the Gretna Playhouse, was doing the same thing to the audience. "Pajama Tops" is a play by Mawby Green and Ed Feibert based on French farce by Jean, de Letraz. The play is a sweet nothing in a time of violence and pressing social issues.

In short, it presents an opportunity for any set of actors to relax while guiding the viewer to raucous (or any other type) laughter. The characters are varied, but none is especially deep. The play is superficial but has the potential to be quite enjoyable. When the play did go, It went because of William Dolive, or as a lady in the back called him, "The cute little blonde in the corduroy suit." In the role of Leona-d Jolijoli, an amazingly pure playwright, Dolive kept the audience tittering, giggling and yukking with his variety of facial expressions and general reactions. He was farcical.

Guy Arbury, as Inspector Legrand, was fun as the poor man who is 20 years too old for anyone he meets. He and Dolive must take the credit for keeping the play moving. Although slowed by character age, he matched Dolive for unloading the good lines quickly. His wistful characterization was played to perfection. He was farcical.

Charm Sorbello and Leesa Troy were more than adequate in their roles as Madames Latouche and Chauvinet. Both played with a bounce and flair. They were relaxed and loose and seemed to enjoy the thickening plot. They were farcical. Pixie Hunsicker, as the budding courtesan, worked too hard to convince the audience that she was a courtesan.

She bounced, flounced and wiggled at the proper times but didn't have the poise needed to be a potential failure as a mistress. She was almost farcical. Ron Leath and John Bentley were totally out of place. Both were stiff. Opposite Dolive they looked very, very sad indeed.

They were failures. One prerequisite for good farce is a responsive audience, preferably a large responsive audience. "Pajama Tops" didn't have one. AH performances could be improved with just a little audience reaction. The play may be of dubious merit, but the major part of the acting is alive and fresh.

All that is needed now is an audience to make it go. Lebanon theatre-soers can't treat this group too kindly. They ments to dependent children, scheduled to take effect July 1. The postponement was written into the tax-economy package awaiting President Johnson's signature. Prospects are good for congressional approval of an extra $100 million a year, for three years, for free school lunches, and some breakfasts, for an estimated 5 million youngsters whose parents cannot pay for subsidized meals now generally available.

Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman and the House Rifles Crack, Men Die As S. Korea Notes Anniversary SEOUL (AP) Rifles cracked, grenades exploded and men died on the eastern front today while South Korean cities observed the 18th anniversary of the Korean War with ceremonies and parades. The South Korean army reported four North Korean intruders were killed in two brief fire fights 3Vi miles south of the demilitarized zone. No South Korean casualties were reported.

Army spokesmen said the Infiltrators wore South Korean army fatigues without Insignia, Two Russian light machine guns and a camera with film were found among the bodies. The army said this raised to 20 the number of North Korean infiltrators killed in five clashes Agriculture Committee are stu dying possible expansion of the $225 million in subsidies now provided under the food stamp program. Freeman also is considering reducing the amounts families must pay for the stamps, which are priced according to income. Increase Food Donation! In direct action, Freeman increased from 16 to 24 the variety of foods the government provides the poor in direct donations from surpluses. New provisions to help the buy or renovate their own lomes have been written into an omnibus housing bill passed by the Senate and recommend ed to the House by its Banking Committee.

A footnote: William M. Colmer, chairman of the House Rules Committee is urging action on legislation originally designed to close down Resurrection City, rewritten to put a permanent ban on use of federal park lands for such a purpose. In its present form, that legislation would carry at least some solace for the poor: Creation of a grievance committee of 10 members of each House to hear citizens' complaints and recommend action. in nine In a war anniversary speech in Seoul, soldier-President Chung Hee Park called for unity to continue economic programs while defending the nation from Communist threats. He accused the Communists of turning the entire land into military camps and scheming to launch a guerrilla war against South Korea as the Viet Cong is doing in South Vietnam.

Government agencies across the country held ceremonies to remember the Sunday 18 years ago when North Korean Communists attacked along the 38th parallel, reaching the South Korean capital in three days. North Korea celebrated the war anniversary with rallies and speeches demanding U.S. withdrawal from South Korea. PLANNING BEGINS PITTSBURGH (UPI) -Mayo- or Joseph M.
