Associated press writer Washington apr boosters of the supersonic transport concede Only one Point to their anti pollution critics the set As presently designed will make More Airport noise than any existing commercial jetliner 4 rut larger questions about set caused sonic Boom and weather alterations still Are hotly contested. The nation May know better in a few weeks whether the 1,-800-mile-an-hour, Needle nosed plane is indeed a serious threat to the environment. Sen. Edmund s. Muskie d Maine. Tern to Lively has scheduled hearings 4 on the question before his Senate air and water pollution subcommittee.
