...James Jerger and his wife Susan, who is also his research assistant at the Houston Speech and Hearing Center, got similar results after testing the members of a five-man combo. One player had a 50-db temporary loss, and three had already suffered a slight but permanent loss, although none was older than...
...past few weeks. They still believe, however, that he will get at least 700 on the first ballot, 33 more than needed for nomination. North Carolina, once counted as solid for Nixon, went soft, may go for a favorite son. In the Midwest, there were signs of a slight shift toward Nelson Rockefeller.

A recheck last week showed a slight erosion of that strength and enough uncertainty in some states to put a first-ballot nomination in question...
...Physics, Inc. flew the instrument over a Philadelphia high school stadium at an altitude of 1,000 ft.
