BLAXESLEX AP Science Editor NEW YORK W)-Our rainmak ers in the West may overdo it and get-less rain. This possibility of regional dis aster was proposed to the Amer ican Meteorological Society Mon day by E. J. Workman of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The situation is seri ous enough, he said, to justify testing. Dr. Workman threw figurative cold water on rainmaklng in the Southwest, where he has been one of the pioneers for four years, and where the most sensational claims of big rain have been made. The silver iodide smokes of New Mexico, Arizona and California have been reported as probably causing rain all the way across the South to the Atlantic, and possi bly a drought in Southern Colo rado. The enthusiasm with which we started about four years ago has not been sustained," said Dr. Workman. "Our simple field ex periments have been Inconclusive for the most part. "I want to consider whether some rainmaklng procedures might be expected to decrease ra ther than Increase precipitation In the Southwest," There are three important facts In this situation. Dr. Workman said. One is that the silver parti cles certainly cause rain to fall out of some clouds. Two Is that many clouds are too Immature for the particles to do more than spoil their prospects. Three Is the wide spread of silver particles that may hit all sorts of clouds. In immature clouds the silver starts rain, but it evaporates be fore reaching the ground. Appar ently this dissipates such clouds. In the past summer virtually the entire Western United States tried rainmaklng. Ea&rn U.S. chat AmoI. m ft- y ' - - . y i : . c $V - .
