Ex-Cloud Seeders
Attend Advisory
Hearing
: Harvey : M. Brandau and Eu
gene K. Kooser, who from 1949
to 1952 conducted aerial cloud
seeding operations in the val
ley, returned recently from San
Francisco where they attended
a meeting of the federal advis
sory committee on weather con
trol. ;
Capt. Howard T. Orvillef USN,
is " chairman of the committee,
appointed Sy President Eisen
passed this year. The committee
hower under Public Law 262
was set up to interview, as far
as possible, everyone now en
gaged in weather control oper
ations, or who has had exper
ience in weather modification,
Kooser reported. ,
Report to President
The collected data, and the
committee's analysis, will be re
ported to the President by June,
1956, with recommendations re
garding federal legislation on
weather modification.
Kooser reported that the Ore
gon weather control law was
discussed and that those attend
ing agreed it to be satisfactory.
The only objections pointed out
were that it prevents research
and experimentation by small
private operators or firms, Koos
er said. He explained that in
Oregon cloud seeding cannot be
done without first spending
some $800-$1000 for a license
and about $700 for a $100,000
insurance policy.
Decreases Possibilities
Kooser said that it was felt
this decreases the possibilities
of progress in weather modifica
tion research, inasmuch as most
of the satisfactory methods of
weather modification in use to
day have been developed by
small operators with limited
funds.
Charles Pennypacker Smith,
meteorologist for Pacific Gas and
Electric company in California,
presided at the meeting, held at
the California Academy of
Sciences in Golden Gate Park.
Manuscript Tells Source
Of Name for America
Vhitehall, Wis. (U.R) A
manuscript found among the
books of the late H. A. Ander
son, Treampealeau County his
torian, has this theory as to how
America got its name.
It is generally agreed that
the country was named after
Amerigo Vespucci, but the manu
script by Charles A. Johnson
savs America was named after
Leif Erickson the Scandinavian
explorer. Like this:
"America is properly ncmed
after its real discoverer, Leif,
the son of Eric. The prefix-'amt'
in Scandinavian means 'land of
and the combination Amt-Eric',
or America, simply means 'land
of Eric." ;
Black Widow Spicier.
Old Resident of North
Madison, Wis. (U.R) The
"latrodectus macatans" black
widow spider to you is seldom
seen in the North, but it is an
old resident according to a Uni
versity of Wisconsin spider ex
pert.. -.
Prof. Herbert Levi, of thP uni
versity's zoology department,
said the black widow is pre
valent in the state, but likes
InHtfimra farther aiCTiv from man
cj O" ,
than do its southern relatives. .
In the South, the spider beds
down in buildings, but it prefers
wooded areas in the North.
Levi said "the spider serves a
useful purpose. Its coarse web
makes dandy cross-hairs for op
tical work. ; ' .

Grange Urged To
Oppose Turning
SCS To Stales
. Spokane (U.R) Represen
tatives of soil conservations dis
tricts today approached nation
al Grange leaders to urge that
the Grange take a stand oppos-i
ing a proposal which would, ini
effect, turn the soil conservation f
service over to the states. i
Indications were that the
Grange, in its 88th annual con
vention here, would take some
action opposing the plan. Na
tional Master Herschel Newsom
was the only member of an ad
visory group which made the
proposal to vote against it.
Gradual Assimilation
Although the plm was not of
ficially made public, it was
learned that it involved a grad
ual assimilation of soil conser
vation service functions by the
various states with the amount
of SCS costs paid by the federal
government gradually decreas
ing. Whether the Grange will
formally oppose the plan will not
be learned until later in the nine
day convention because all ses
sions are secret. -
An Armistice Day observance,
special committee reports and
the annual youth banquet were
scheduled tor today.
Mendes-France Starts
Anti-Alcohol Drive
Paris (U.R) Milk-swigging
Premier Pierre Mendes-France
opened a limited offensive
against alcohol today, causing
the world's thirstiest people to
mutter in their wine glasses.
Mendes-France won approval
cf his anti-alcohol program from
the cabinet last night, but most
of the provisions need approval
of the - temperamental French
National Assembly.
The program would raise taxes
on hard liquor, limit the number
of bars, close saloons at least
five hours daily and increase the
fines assessed drunkards.
Mendes-France is not an advo
cate of all-out prohibition, but
he has expressed alarm over
statistics which show that the per
capita consumption of alcohol
in France is three times greater
than that of the United States.
