Weather Bureau To Come Up With
Set of New Names for Hurricanes
Washington Xi.R) The
Weather Bureau has consigned
the evil sisterhood of Alice,
Bienda, Diane et al to history
and expects to come up next
week with a brand new list of
girls' names for the still-to-be-
spawned hurricanes of 1956.
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.
