Atlantic Lashed by 261
Hurricanes in 68 Years
Washington The storm gods
of the North Atlantic have hatch
ed 261 hurricanes in the last
68 Jpars. Two made weather
history in 1955.
Connie, th tropical tempest
that sirlid up from the hurri
cane breeding area around the
Carflean Sea and battened
down the United States east
coast recently, was preceded
this year by Alice.
Alice, which swept across the
Caribbean, was remarkable in
one respect. It was the first
January hurricane marked on
United States Weather Bureau
books. Very few have ever, been
reported; the first was noted by
an earnest weather observer,
Columbus.
Blew Ilself Out .
Alice was followed by Brenda.
This gale generated power south
of the Mississippi River, mouth
on July 31 and blew itself
out over Louisiana and Missis
sippi in three days. It didn't
. quite work up a hurricane head
of steam, which must be winds
of 73 miles per hour or more.
From 1887 through August 10,
1955, the weather bureau has
recorded hurricanes by months:
one in January; one in May; 11
in June; 15 in July; 62 in Au
gust; 109 in September; 53 in
October; eight in November; and
one in December.
Most petered out at sea. When
they hit the United States their
target was most often south
Florida or" the western Gulf
coast. Along the Atlantic shore
the frequency rate diminishes
with the distance northward.
The names of this year's crop
were picked from a list of pre
viously accepted terms, all short
and easily understood. As they
occur, the storms take their tags
in alphabetical order.. Thus Alice
came first, then Brenda, then
Connie, with Diane and Edith
in store for those that "follow.
Next year names will start at
the beginning of the alphabet
again, but there will be another
set. There won't be any more
Alices, or Brendas, or Connies.
Few if any hurricanes mael
stroms of shattering wind and
rain spinning like a top have
been more methodically tracked
than 1955's.
At least two flights a day
one by the Air Force and one
by the Navy kept a weather
eye on the movements of Con
nie. When the fickle lady daw
dled 225 miles southeast of
Myrtle Beach, S. C, gyrating
crazily but making headway of
only 25 miles in 10 hours, me
teorologists were able to trace
its every antic, thanks to radar
equipped planes.
Still a Mystery
Much remains to be known
about hurricanes. But observa
tion of these land - flooding,
house-scalping, tree-snapping and
often man-killing storms has
now come of age. This happened
when radar sharpened the eyes
of the airplane.
Hurricane winds still pack the
same punch they always did. A
big blow works up more energy
than hundreds of atom bombs
all exploding at once. In the
form of water vapor t lifts two
billion tons of water and dumps
this titanic load as rain within 1
24 hours. Nature in the raw is
seldom as impressive or as frightening.
Even so, man has learned to
roll with the hurricane punch.
In 1928 before the day of a full-
fledged warning system, a wall
of water killed 1,836 persons.
Twenty-one years later a similar
hurricane over virtually the
same path left a toll of only two.

Mall and Sutler Optimistic on
To Capture Presidency in '56
Washington (U.R) Repub
lican National Chairman Leon
ard W. Hall predicted today that
the GOP would win next year's
presidential election because
Americans want continued
"peace, prosperity and progress."
He said the record of Presi
dent .Eisenhower "is the plat
form on which we will cam
paign. . . "
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler was just as
optimistic about his party's
chances of winning in 1956. ;
Butler said he was convinced
after a trip through Southern
states that the Democrats would
win back the Solid South next
year and elect the next presi
dent. -
Solid Accomplishments
Hall, in a speech to Republi
can Women of Pennsylvania,
Inc., at Philadelphia, told his lis
teners "to drive home . . . the
solid accomplishments of this
Republican administration."
He said the GOP's "most im
portant achievement is that our
nation is at peace." He said the
GOP had ended the "stale
mated" war in Korea and made
"other vital contributions to
world peace and security."
Other GOP "achievements"
Hall cites to the GOP women as
1956 selling points for the party
included:
Building a powerful defense
force; establishing "a strong and
sound economy;" record break
ing employment and wages; re
placing "the trend toward so
cialism with an individual in
centive economy, and increasJ
ing welfare services.
Peace With Prosperity
Hall said the Republican party
represents prosperity with peace.
"I want to say to you that the
New and Fair Deals were never
able to achieve prosperity with
out war; or peace without un-

employment and depression,"
he said.
The GOP chairman made no
mention of possible candidates
for the Republican nomination
next year. But, he told the GOP
women, "I know you join with
me in rejoicing at the continuing
good news from Denver . . ."
He said the Eisenhower ad
ministration has appointed an
all-time high of 94 women to
various posts.
Butler predicted that the
Democrats would win back
Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and
Virginia, which went for Presi
dent Eisenhower in 1952.
"I'm satisfied that we're go
ing to carry- every one of those
states in '56," Butler said.
Butler predicted that the Dem
ocrats would win the White
House next year with "whom
ever we 'nominate."
Open Convention
But he refused to discuss the
convention chances of Adlai E.
Stevenson, Gov. Averell Harri
man of New York, Sen Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.) or any other
prospective Democratic nomin
ees. He predicted a ''free and
open" convention.
Butler said adoption of a pro
posed new rule, drawn up by
an advisory committee on rules
for the 1956 convention, "will
eliminate any necessity for any
discussion of the loyalty oath
in the '56 convention . . ."
On the Republican side, Har
old E. Stassen said "I do not
consider myself a candidate" for
the GOP presidential nomina
tion. Last week Stassen issued
a statement indicating he would
run if President Eisenhower de
cided not to seek reelection. ;
Stassen also discounted Demo
cratic talk of a possible split
in GOP ranks if Mr. Eisenhower
does not run again. He said he
does not "anticipate any change
in administrations" as a result
of next year's election.
Meantime, Joseph L. Rauh Jr.,
national chairman of Americans
for Democratic Action, said the
"independent voter will never
swallow Vice-President Nixon"
and urged the GOP to "drop"
Nixon.
Rauh charged that conserva
tive Republicans are trying to
"clean up" Nixon for the GOP
presidential nomination.
Rauh said Chief Justice Earl
Warren and Dr. Milton . Eisen
hower, the President's brother,
are unacceptable to many, pow
erful Republicans and "this
dilemma is the strength of Rich
ard Nixon."
From Denver, White House
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty said Mr. Eisenhower ' has
given him no word on 1956
although' he has promised that
Hagerty will be the first to know
about his intentions.
Chances
Election
Attacks on the GOP farm poli
cy were renewed by Democratic
Sens. Paul H. Douglas (111.) and
Wayne L. Morse (Ore.). They
accused Agriculture ' Secretary
Ezra T. Benson of trying to pit
farmerst against industrial work
ers "on the principle of divide
and conquer."

Reno Confesses
Stepmother's Death
Reno -(U.R) Two detectives
plan to return handsome ex-convict
Ralph Reno to Los Angeles
tomorrow to facie charges of
strangling his young stepmother.
Reno, 27," admitted killing
Mrs. Stella Reno, 34, and knif
ing his father, Andrew Reno, 57,
after a violent family argument
last Wednesday night.
"I hated her guts," Reno told
police.
Dr. L. D. Nelson, Truckee,
Calif., physician who conducted
an autopsy on Mrs. Reno, said
"from" appearance it is quite
likely she was assaulted sexual
ly, but tests are still inconclu
sive." Reno told Los Angeles Detec
tives Edward C. Kruger and C.
C. Forbes that after strangling
his stepmother, he placed her
body in the trunk of his car and
headed for Nevada. He was ar
rested in Reno Thursday night.
Friday night he led police to
a concrete catch-all box built in
front of a culvert where he had
placed the body. The culvert
was off U. S. Highway 40 about
25 miles west of Reno.
