About half the difference in the overall am j! u ! death rate results f rom a tendency of cancerios diagnosed among the poor at later, lesscimH stages, he said. That arises partly because medical cart!? iu poor people tends to focus on treating an ime diate prottiem rather than providingserm, prevention. Freeman said. Institutional barriers could discourap woman without insurance from getting a brer * etl lump diagnosed, for example, he said. Inaii ' lion, poverty breeds a “day-to-day existence’ll! “ e discourages thinking about preventing futi problems, he said. People in the lowest one-fifth income gns showed a 40 percent higher cancer death rattli 1979-81 than those in the top one-fifth, Fra )ar man’c study found. ‘Bielil (Continued from page 1) The warheads atop one of those missiles could very well have been blown into the sea and sunk when the submarine experienced a fire and explosion while submerged on Friday, said Vice Adm. Powell F. Carter Jr., the staff director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The other warheads undoubtedly have been crushed and rendered useless by the pressure of the ocean’s depth, he said, adding that the fuel inside the reactors is encased in a heavy metal that likely will deterio- riate only over thousands of years. Carter and Ft. Gen. Richard A. Burpee, the director of operations for the joint staff, said the sinking was observed on radar and intermit tently by the crew of a Navy P-3 re connaissance plane through the light provided by flares fired by the Rus sians at the scene. A U.S. ocean-going tug also was near the scene at the time — about 48 nautical miles to the southwest — and offered assistance. But it was told to remain clear, the two said. The two officers, while stressing that they couldn’t say for sure, said it appeared the crew of the submarine never gained control of leaks caused by the fire and explosion on Friday. That fire apparently began with the liquid-fuel propellant for one of the missiles and “the force of the (result ing) explosion was enormous,” Car ter said. Sonar (Continued from page 1) emitted, 2,048 measurements are made of the echo, he says. Long-range side-scan sonars are the newest and most powerful sonar devices to date, he says, and there are only two such systems in the world. One belongs to the University of Hawaii and the other belongs to a British system, Hilde says. The SeaMARC TAMU will pro vide a more detailed picture of the sea floor than either of the present ones, he says. With the SeaMARC, sound will be transmitted and received by electro nic devices housed in a long cylinder called a “fish,” which is towed be hind the research ship at shallow depths, he says. The information is relayed to the research vessel and stored on laser discs — an innovation which allows data to be stored 100 times more compactly than magnetic tape, Hilde says. He says each one of the thousands of individual measurements deter mines two things about one small point on the ocean floor — the depth and the acoustical properties of the rock. The acoustical prop erties give researchers a good clue of the type of rock outcrops at that lo cation, he says. Two kinds of graphic displays can be constructed from the data, each providing a different and useful pic ture of the sea floor. One is a “photograph,” which looks much like a conventional pho tograph taken from a low-flying air plane, but made with sound rather than light. Topographic features such as volcanoes are easy to pick out and gradations of light and dark in dicate changes in rock-type from one area to another. The second type of graphic dis play looks much like a colored map, with the varying depths of the sea floor distinguished by a variety of colors.
