One reason for bringing out a new list, a spokesman suggested today, is that "some people feel ; once is enough" to have their names linked with one of na ture's most vicious destroyers. Then there is what you might callQ bookkeeping reason. Infa mous hurricanes like 1955's Con nie ar Diane become a part of the permanent literature of weather science, and it would be confusing if Othe same names were used yegr after year. What the new names will be i can't be divulged until they're ' announced officially. The list is what people in government call a "sensitive" matter. Her Complaints : Every time a new list comes out, the Weather Bureau gets a new crop of complaints. Some complainants feel the bureau, by tagging hurricanes with girlish names, is manifesting a flippant attitude toward, something that is not funny. Others just don't like t? see their name, or their" wife's or sweetheart's or daughter's name, connected with disaster, actual or potential. But the practice of naming hurricanes after girls seems to be here to stay. It got started in the gjPacific during World War II. Short names, easy to pro nounce and identify, were picked because other designations were more susceptible to garbling in radio reports. Old Reasons Girls names were picked be cause well, because men fight ing a war far from home were just more likely to hear a girl's name above the static better than they would a boy's.- Granting the cogency of all that, it still takes some doing to pick a suitable list of names for a new crop of hurricanes. Georgia and Caroline, for ex ample, are out. They have a geo graphical connotation that might be upsetting to persons trying to chart a hurricane's movements by radio. Names like Eve and Dawn won't do, either. They have a time significance that could cause trouble. So the Weather Bureau hurri cane namers, and their Army and Navy collaborators, have had a problem. What ever names they come up with next week, they can be sure someone won't like some part of it. HORNBROOK Newly-weds Returning Soon By MRS. H. H.
