PUBLIC ADDRESS SETS
USEFUL IN LAW COURTS
By PAUL F. ELLIS
OCIENCE has developed the public address synter to a fine point, yet microphones and loudspeakers are generally not accepted for use in law courts.
Perhaps they never will be, because the dignity of the court must at all times be upheld. Yet, a dignified public address system might help the administration of justice.

Economy Of South-East Asia
(FROM OUR own corRESPONDENT)
London, Mar. 27.-"The purchase of natural rubber is a major step in the direction of keeping South-East Asia on our side of the Iron Curtain,” says the Natural Rubber News, a privately circu lated bulletin of the Natural Rubber Bureau in Washington.
It adds that the recent action of the Depart- ment of Commerce in removing the controls re- quiring the use of synthetic rubber in the manu- facture of small camel-backs--the material used- for re-treading tyre carcasses-was a step in the right direction.
