Tlie House did a turnabout last week, voting 201 to 19? to renew SST funding, SSf opponents have iised two arguments against the plane. They say the billion could be better spent, that the 'government has no business bankrolling a commercial development. Ah'd they argue the planes would be too noisy for health and eauld cause harmful changes in climate.

Backers say the United Stales needs the SST to hold its lead in world aviation. They cite President Nixon's assurance the SST will not fly until It is environmentally safe.
