Cloud-Seeding
Hailed as Big
Step Forward
SEATTLE W A three-year
government experiment has shown
that cloud-seeding offers "tremen
dous possibilities" toward hail sup
pression as well as increasing
rainfall, Sen. Magnuson CD-Wash)
said Tuesday. '
"I am. also told that successful
hail suppression might conceivably
lead to the eventual mitigation of
Bevere and destructive local
storms, including , tornadoes," the
senator added. '
Magnuson made public, a report
by the National Advisory Commit
tee on Weather Control, established
.under a congressional act which
be sponsored. The findings were
preliminary ones, he said...
Exhaustive Research
;. The exhaustive research ' has
- proved the country can consider
chemical cloud-seeding effective to
' produce "economically important"
precipitation ; in : certain areas.
Magnuson stated. .
During the three-year test,- rain-
fall runoff-was increased as- much
as 17 per cent in an area in' the
; southern Oregon Cascades and the
scientists' were satisfied it was
- caused fey . their work, ' Magnuson
said.. Similarly; an increase in
santa Barbara, caul., area was
placed at 16 per cent, and the fi
gures were smaller in two other
, California tests.
; Rail Suppression t
Hail suppression tests were con
ducted in Oregon and Nebraska
and the results compared with
similar Jests by the government
of Switzerland-
Farmers in the Oregon test
. area report no hail falling at all
,J. during the two seeded years, even
though there was a hail record
, extending back 43 years previous
. ly," Magnuson said.
. "The Nebraska test also showed
" a definite reduction in hail."-
The Swiss "tests, he said, showed
- significant reductions at ' three
places, and apparent complete
".'elimination at" a fourth."
Woman Serves
As Own Lawyer,
But Loses Case
DETROIT. Mich. WP Mrs.
Laura F. Meadows, who has had i
no legal training, served as her
own lawyer Tuesday in a $15,000
damage suit against the operator
of her apartment building.
Her only witnesses, were three
lawyers she consulted, each of
whom testified he advised her she
did not have a case, arid a physi
cian who said she suffered no
permanent injuries.
Mrs. Meadows claimed she was

East and West on admission of 18
applicant nations. The United
States had yielded Anally on it in
packagewaHwith the Soviet
Union. ,
Authoritative sources said Eisen
hower made two direct appeals to
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek not
to veto the Mongolian bid. Chiang
Kai-Shek answered the first appeal
negatively. His second answer has
not been received, it was reported.
But Nationalist China's Chief
Delegate T.F. Tsiang gave an an
swer here. He told a reporter his
government Js opposed to admis
sion of Outer Mongolia and would
use the veto on it if necessary. .
Diplomats Amazed
Some U J, diplomats were
amazed, some reacted angrily.
One usually friendly to Nationalist
China said the Nationalists appar
ently wanted lo commit suicide as
far as the U .N. is concerned. He
added a veto would cost the For
mosa regime many friends.
A Soviet spokesman, informed of
Nationalist China's decision, stood
firm on Moscow's demand for
"Outer Mongolia or nothing." He
said again the Russians will not
permit the entry of Western-backed
candidates, such as Japan, Spain
and Italy, if all the Soviet bloc
applicants are not approved. -
Soviet Satellite
Outer Mongolia, nominally a So
viet satellite, lies on the borders
of Soviet Asia and Red China and
is a point of some conflict between
the big Communist countries themselves.
Debate on new members is ex
pected to begin late this week in
the Assembly's special Political
Committee. ' . - '
Paul Martin, Canadian minister
of national health and welfare and
a' prime backer of the move for
new members, said he was hope
ful something could be worked out
before a final vote. Canada and
26-other delegates are sponsoring
a resolution in the committee urg
ing the Security "Council to act
favorably on the 18 applicants.
No Vetoes
To be admitted to the U.N., an
applicant must get seven votes in
the ll-nation Security Council and
no veto. Then the applicant must
get two-thirds of the votes of the
60-nation Assembly, where there is
no veto. Indonesia was the last
member to be admitted, entering
the U.N. in 1950., -
The row in the U.N; over mem
bership now is limited .to Outer
Mongolia. Russia has agreed to ac
cept Spain, one of its old foes,
plus Japan, with which Moscow is
technically at war, and Italy and
10 other countries backed by the
West Those are Finland, Portu
gal," Ireland, Jordan, Austria, Cey
lon, Nepal, Libya, Cambodia and
Laos. '
' This acceptance Is conditioned
on agreement bv the Wrst. snJ
cially Washington;, Jfiipermit the
entry of five SovM satellites, Al
bania," Hungary, Bulgaria. Roman
ia and Outer Mongolia, In a news
conference, VS. Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. said the
first four likely would get enough
votes but that Outer Mongolia
would not make the grade. He said
the United States would abstain on
the vote on all five Red countries.
