Hong Kong, with Japan Air Lines As to be expected in most countries north of the equa tor, strong gusty breezes greeted us here at the International air port of this new-built city of Hong Kong, none of the build ings of which are more than 100 years old. Across the bay, the colored patched sails of a hundred junks ping the channel from Hong Kong island to Kowloon on the mainland are all billowed. As a result of these late March winds, you may be breathing air today borne to ' you from many continents within the past two weeks. Thus, your next breath may contain air particles which rushed up the slopes of Fujiyama just 14 days before, when I arrived in Japan; or have drifted through the quiet halls of the Vatican; or six days prior to that have been warmed by the Pyramids of Egypt and then chilled by the ice-sheathed 12,-000-foot mountains of Greenland, while a tiny pinch of your day's allotment of air may have come from within a game hunter's seal ed waterproof watch case in Nai robi. Although March-April winds rarely attain "whole gale" force that is from 55-63 miles an hour on the earth's surface in the stratosphere such speeds are not at all uncommon. In fact, flying high over Japan, pilots have reported winds in excess of 300 miles an hour; and above the U.S., winds exceeding 200 miles an hour are not unusual. Upon two occasions, 1,000 and 1,100 miles per hour winds high overhead have been recorded. Air Pressure Differential Why are March and April particularly noted for their tur bulent air in our nothern hem isphere? Basically because in these two months a tremendous air pressure differential is being built up. During these two months the temperature of the Arctic region is still bitterly cold, hovering around the year's min imums which results in a high pressure area. Meanwhile, the contrary is happening in the southern part of our temperate region. There, for the past three to four months, the coldest period of the year has passed and the midday sun is already standing high in the heaven, warming the air', expanding it, and creating a low pressure area. The two pressures, although 4,000 miles apart, are in compatible. And the obvious hap pens a rapid transfer of air takes place from the hill of high pressure in the north to the val ley of low pressure closely rivaled by those of April. So great is this transfer of air between late winter and early spring that a noted British me teorologist, Sir Napier Shaw, has estimated that it involves the movement of about 3,500,000 mil lion tons of cold air southward with a correspondingly heavy warm load moving northward. Winds Turned Aside Basic as this primary reason for the March-April winds may be unfortunately for the weather predictors it isn't cut and dried as all this. At the same time, there is the rotation of the earth on its axis which turns all winds aside from the path they would normally pursue from cold to warm. In the northern hem isphere this creates a deflection to the right; in the southern, to the left. Then there is the tilting of the earth causing seasonal changes in the angle at which the sun's rays strike any part of the earth. This creates a further disloca tion, tending to make some of the principal winds blow alternately northward during six months, and southward the next. ' By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist To add to the confusion, dif ferent heating and cooling effects such as land and water, night and day, mountains and valleys, to say nothing of varying amounts of moisture in the at mosphere affect the movement of our rivers of air. But rough as our March-April winds may seem to people of inland cities, be assured of this: shore dwellers are getting stronger winds always, -and not just along the shores of oceans but also along lakes and wide rivers. For that matter, dwellers in inland cities away from near by mountain peaks, such as Omaha, may experience but one gale-force wind every other March while those in Chicago may average four to six times as many. And even in Chicago, those living on Michigan Boule vard facing the shore will have winds half again as strong as those living on a street but a quarter of a mile inland.

NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) What's i new in Washington: Some 40 members of congress from both par ties leave this week for "spring train ing" at Day tona Beach, Fla. After lim bering up in the Southern sun they will return to Washing- Harman Nichols ton for their little five-inning "baseball game" for the benefit of charity. The lawgivers and their fam ilies will pay their own ex penses. Rep. Sid Herlong of Florida is coach of the Demo cratic team. King pin of the Re publican squad is Rep. Glenn R. Davis of Wisconsin. Team members had felt they'd be too busy to train this year. But such thoughts vanished with the Easter recess, the spring cold snap and the lure of Florida's sun. Sen. Robert Kerr, the Demo cratic sage from Oklahoma, al ways puts in his newsletter a "Kerr Kernel." , This week's: "When, you have gone as far as you can go on your feet, you might try on your knees." The likeable gentleman from the Sooner state is a Sunday School teacher on his day off. The Washington Zoo has had a sign out for years which reads: "Lost children and articles will be taken to the lion house." The house of Leo long has housed the zoo cops. They're moving to new quarters pretty soon, and the sign will be replaced by one less scarey to the very young. House Republican Whip Leslie C. Arends of Illinois sent each GOP member of Congress a blot ter bearing this verse: "Among life's dying embers, these are my regrets: When I'm right no one remembers, when I'm wrong no one forgets." The ditty was titled "A Con gressman's Lament." Eddie D. Abbott, Shreveport, La., is an Army private in Ger many. A buddy who was ro tating home gave Eddie a batch of pfc stripes he wanted to be cleaned. Eddie dumped them in his laundry bag. They came back clean as a whistle, sewn onto Eddie's fatigue clothes, his field jacket and his khaki shirts. A pair of scissors saved him from charges of impersonating a pfc. Bitter McCarthy Foe To Seek Congress Seat Sauk City, Wis. (U.R) Le roy Gore, the newspaper editor who led an unsuccessful attempt to recall Sen. Joseph R. McCar thy (R-Wis.) will be a candidate for a Democratic congressional nomination. Gore said he will seek the Third Congressional District nomination. At least two other Democrats are possible candi dates for the seat now held by veteran Republic Rep. Gardner Withrow. Gore started his "Joe Must Go" movement in 1954, but couldn't collect enough signatur es to force McCarthy to run again for his Senate seat. He sold his newspaper, the Sauk Prairie Star, a short time after the drive failed. What's your hobby? Is it gar dening, dressmaking, rabbit rais ing, photography, painting, or short story writing?

Treasury received a letter enclosing fragments (only) of a 50 Sav ings Bond. The letter came from a distressed dog owner who confessed that his shaggy canine companion had given the Bond a thor ough chewing, and plaintively asked what could be done about it. The Treasury wrote right back assuring the unhappy man that his Bond would be replaced upon presentation of satisfactory evidence and enclosed the proper form to be filled out. The Treasury could and did and even tually the chewed up Bond was replaced. Noth ing further has been heard from the man or from the shaggy dog. (The Treasury is hoping that no news is good news.) Several days passed A second letter arrived enclosing fragments of the Treasury's letter and bits of the enclosed form. You guessed it. The shaggy dog had done it again. Could the Treasury please send along another application form? This true shaggy dog story illustrates the safety the indestructibility of U. S. Savings Bonds. Just remember this. Any of your Bonds thai are lost, stolen or destroyed will be replaced by the U. S. Treasury without charge. That's why Bonds are said to be, "Safer than cash." Your Government is just as anxious as yoe are to protect your rights as Bond owners. But of course you must do your part, too. Just fol low these simple rules: Keep your Bonds in a safe place. Keep a complete record of all the Savings Bonds you own by serial number, denomination, date, and name of co-owner or beneficiary. And be sure to keep this record in a different place from your Bonds. This record is not absolutely essential in reclaiming lost Bonds, but it will help speed up replacement. Z7.S. Savings Bonds are not only safer, than cash, but one of the best investments you can make. You can be sure of ike principal, sure of the returns (an average 3 interest when held to maturi ty) and sure of the future when you invest regularly in Savings Bonds. So don't stash cash in sugar bowls and maU tresses. Start investing in Savings Bonds today. That's the safe and sure way to save. ' For the big things in your life, be ready with United States Savings Bonds The V. S. Government does not pay for this advertising.
