that a few have died and were
buried in places assured of per
petual care.
"The prople of southern Ore

abled veterans of three wars.
"It is my wish that your visit
be both pleasing and interesting.
Feel at home and ask all the
questions you desire. Today we
are observing National Hospital
day. Do not wait until next year
to visit us again. Come any time
you want to." Hatton concluded.

Troutdale. Ore.. May 15 U.R)

Science
Experts Fix Danger Point for Flying In Thunderstorms
Even Radar Can't Proyida Safety
By Paul F. Ellii t
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Two ex
perts in meteorology have deter
mined that the "danger point"
for airplanes going through a
thunderstorm is between 15,000
and 25,000 feet.
The finding is reported by Hor
ace R. Byers of the University
of Chicago and Roscoe B. Bra
ham of the U. S. weather bureau,
in a new book, "The Thunder
storm." The report is regarded as
important, since many of the
new-type planes with pressurized
cabins fly in the 15,000 to 25,-000-foot
range.
Byers and Braham sum up the
results in three years of research
In the government supported
"thunderstorm" project. They
disclosed that more than 179
thunderstorms in Ohio and Flor
ida were studied by radar, sound
ing balloons and airplane-borne
instruments.
Radar Beit Weapon
The authors said radar is avia
tion's best weapon against the
menace of the thunderstorm, but
that even with radar equipment,
pilots never should fly over 10.
000 feet in a thunderstorm if it
can be avoided, especially with
passengers.
Thev said thunderstorms aver
age 37,500 feet in height; that
they are shaped like a rosebud
and cover the greatest area at 10.
000 feet; that the area is half
as great at 20.000 but that the
safest area of all Is below 10,000
feet.
The meteorologists found that
radar beams can detect either the
water droplets or the ice crys
tals in a cumulous cloud from
which the thunderstorm is born
at the very moment either starts
developing. Using the informa
tion, which the pilot gets 20 miles
in advance, he can plan his flight
and avoid thunderstorm dangers,
it was pointed out.
"Upiida Down" Rain
The book, published by the
U. S. government printing office,
also reports that it can rain "up
side down" within a thunder
storm. The phenomena, it was ex
olained, occurs when rain drops
fall in one part and strong tip
drafts may be carrying the rain
drops in another high Into the
air, and beyond the point of
freezing.
The weather study further
showed that any given thunder
storm may have separate cells.
In one thunderstorm, they re
ported, the entire storm covered
an area 20 miles long and five to

eight miles wide. They said there
were six recognizable cells in
the storm, each three to eight
miles across. The area between
the cells, though cloudy, showed
little turbulence.
The storm cloud, the authors
said, reaches its peak altitude
just when the lightning is the
greatest. As the cloud begins to
drop, the lightning ceases.
"Adult Life" of Cloud
The "adult stage" of the storm
cloud. It was found, usually con
tinues from 15 minutes to half
an hour. During that time the
storm is at its worst, with the
most rain falling and the light
ning at its peak. Meanwhile, the
gusty winds from the down
drafts blow the hardest.
The "dissipating stage" of the
storm usually lasts half an hour,
the report showed. Sometimes,
however, the cell may break up
into layers of clouds and light
rain may fall for a longer period
of time.
Don Fawcett Slightly
Injured in Car Crash
Corvallis, Ore., May 13 (U.R)
A near-disastrous automobile ac
cident invloving four Oregon
State college baseball players
Saturday morning failed to stop
the Beavers as they joined team
mates in Eugene to defeat the
University of Oregon, 6-3, in a
northern division game.
The four Orange athletes, foot
ball star Ken Carpenter, Seaside;
Gene Tanselli. Portland; Don
Fawcett, Medford; and Bill Harp
er. Walnut Creek, Cat., suffered
only minor injuries when the car
in which they were riding col
lided with another vehicle six
miles south of Junction City on
Highway 99.
Tanselli and Fawcett, both reg
ulars on the team, suffered only
bruises and played in the Oregon
game. Harper, who collected
four hits in five trips to the plate
against the Webfoots Friday, was
treated for scalp lacerations in
Eugene.
Carpenter, driving the Oregon
State car, suffered bruises and
did not suit up for the game.
Carpenter was all-coast halfback
last fall and recently accepted a
bid to play in the college all-star
professional game at Chicago in
