By EDWARD L. A. WAGNER U.P. Weatherfolocast Editor New York (U.R) The big question along the Atlantic Coast of the United States right now is "will this area be plagued by hurricans each coming season, such as has been the experience 1 of the southeast coastal areas in past years?" Jerome Namias, chief of the extended forecast section of the United States Weather Bureau, said there is evidence that the east coast of the United States is likely to be exposed to a rash of hurricane threats in the normal season for these storms for some years to come. Namias cites Weather Bureau findings which Indicate a west ward drift of semi-permanent pressure centers over the, Atlan tic Ocean as being responsible this tendency. An Enormous Storm A hurricane would probably be best described as an enormaus storm, comparable to a tornado in its intensity and occurring over the dcean, which, when it strikes a coastal area, can wreak extensive havoc, because of its extraordinary high winds. It is a well-known fact that the course of hurricanes is consid ered scientifically almost unpre dictable, except for very short periods of time. Meteorologists closely watching the shifting course of high and low pressure areas in the vicinity of these storms, however, are able par tially to foretell, to some degree, their path. There is little mystery about the seasonal recurrence of hurri canes. Such storms are tremend ous sources of energy, and this release of power is caused by the condensation of the great amounts of moisture contained in them.

The "eye" or center of hurricane is 14,000 feet above sea level, at right and just be low nose of jet which is flying at 20,000 feet. (International) this condensation is ample to keep a hurricane going while it is over the surface of the ocean. However, once it strikes land, this moisture is no longer avail able and so the storm loses much of its intensity. Origin of Hurricanes Known Science knows that the hurri canes which plague the east coast of the United States in the summer and early fall usually originate off the coast of Africa or in the West Indies. They be gin in the doldrums, north of the Equator, and usually in a belt where the" water tempera ture is abnormally high. A famous meteorologist has claimed that a water tempera ture of about 85 degrees is crit ical for the formation of this type of storm. When a warm cloud containing moisture forms over such an area, and begins to lose its moisture in the form of rain, there can be a sharp temperature difference estab lished at the surface, and it is this temperature difference that becomes dangerous " when it is abou 20 degrees.

The differ ence between the two may, in one respect, be considered one involving the area they effect. Tornadoes normally strike over an area of about a quarter mile However, a hurricane is usually 500 miles or more in diameter. Lack Firsl-Hand Observation Meteorologists are always alert in tornado or hurricane seasons to note unusual variations temperature. The incidence of hurricanes has been linked to the tempera ture of the ocean. When those temperatures rise to or above a critical point, hurricanes oc cur more frequently. One of the gaps meteorologists know and de plore is the lack of first-hand observation of these differences over vast ocean areas, about which they must know, in order to make accurate forecasts. Weather Bureau records show that during August, about 68 per cent of tropical storms originat ing north of the Eqator become hurricanes. In September, this drops to 57 per cent, and by October, only 37 per cent of such storms reach hurricane force. Furthermore, there is always a greater probability of hurricanes recurring out over the Atlantic Ocean away from the United States after mid-September. Most severe hurricanes which have struck the continental United States, particularly along the north Atlantic coast, have oc curred in late August or early September. Romanian Premier Says Important Changes Occurred Editor's note: Premier Gheoree Glieorghiu-Dej of Communist Roma nia has granted an exclusive tele graphic interview with A. L. Brad ford, United Press vice president and general manager for Europe. In it Gheorghiu-Dej indicates the Soviet will keep its troops in Romania until all foreign troops are withdrawn from n estern Europe.- The dispatch follows. Number of Jobless In Oregon Declines Salem U.R) The number of persons seeking work in Oregon last month was the lowest in nearly two years, the State Un meployment Compensation Com mission has reported. During July 20,200 persons were reported out of work. Job less workers covered by com pensation collected $533,820 dur ing the month. This was the low est monthly total in three years and half the figure a year ago, the commission said. HAIR AND BARBER Minot, N. D. (U.R) Earl Hair was given a 90-day sentence in police court recently after his car clipped the auto of barber George Kling. By A. L. BRADFORD , United Press Correspondent London (U.R) Romanian Pre mier Gheorge Gheorghiu-Dej said in an exclusive United Press interview that "the necessity of the presence of Soviet troops in Romania would be removed" when troops of the foreign pow ers are withdrawn from Western Europe. "Important changes" have oc- j curred since Russia originally j promised to withdraw Soviet ; troops from Romania at the same time as she withdrew Soviet troops from Austria, Gheorgiu Dej said. His telegraphic response to United Press questions cabled to Bucharest did not say flatly that Russia intends to back out of its Walta promise to withdraw its troops from Romania and Hun gary after the Austrian occupa tion ends. Situation Has 'Changed' But he said the situation in Western Europe had "changed" with the formation of Western military alliances alliances that have been followed by the Com munist military groupings under the Warsaw pact. On July 31, widespread re ports were published that the Soviet Union intended to honor the agreements and withdraw troops from Hungary and Roma nia by Oct. 1 the deadline So viet Defense Minister Marshal Georgi Zhukov set for getting all Soviet troops out of Austria. United Press on July 31 asked the Romanian premier directly for an authoritative answer to these reports. The reply said textually: "Mr. Bradford: "As it is known, the Soviet troops are on the territory of Romania according to the peace treaty, in order to ensure the security of communications of Soviet troops in Austria. "After the conclusion of the treaty with Austria it is neces sary, under the present condi tions, to take into account the fact that during the last period important changes 1 a v e oc curred in the European situation. Appropriate Measures Taken "In the West, military group ings, numerous foreign military bases have been created, and the Paris treaties that provide for the remilitarization of West ern Germany and for its inclu sion in the military groupings of the Western powers have been ratified. "It is as a consequence of this fact, as it is known, that the Warsaw treaty was conclud ed, according to which appro priate measures have been taken to ensure the security of the European democratic states, among them Romania. "Of course, if the foreign troops of the Western states were withdrawn from the coun tries of Western Europe within the limits of their national boun daries, and the military group ings created in the West were liquidated, the situation in Eu rope would change, and the ne cessity of the Warsaw Treaty would be removed along with the necessity of those measures ensuring security that are pro vided by this treaty. "In this case, it is obvious that the necessity of the presence of Soviet troops in Romania would be removed too, and these troops would be withdrawn from Romania." AFL Meatcutters Strike Against Safeway Ended Coos Bay (U.R) A 41-day-old strike against four Safeway stores in the Coos Bay area by local 324 of the AFL Butchers and Meatcutters union was over today. Mrs. Naomi Olson, secretary of the local, said a three - year contract was signed in Portland Wednesday afternoon. She said it provides for a 40-hour week in stead of 48 hours with journey men salaries at $87.50 a week and head meatcutters at $95 a week, plus $8.55 a month in health and welfare benefits. The U.

PT&T Ordered To Bargain With Union San Francisco (U.R) Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com pany and Bell Telephone of Nevada have been ordered by the National Labor Relations board to recognize and bargain with the International Brother h o o d of Electrical Workers (AFL). The order was issued Aug. 9 and released yesterday. It re quires the companies to cease and desist from recognizing the Comrrfunications Workers of America (CIO) as the bargaining union for some 1200 long dis tance toll maintenance workers in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The NLRB order accused the PT&T and Nevada Bell of vio lating provisions cof the Taft Hartley law by interfering with workers exercising their bar-' gaining rights.
