.1 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Miniature Tornadoes Used To Get Jump on Spawning Twisters1 Fort Monmouth. N.J. (U.R) They're making miniature tornadoes and "fingerprinting' lightning here in a drive to aid weather forecasters in getting the jump on brewing "twisters Later, scientists of the Army Signal Corps Engineering labor atories hope to map storm winds by using aluminum confetti and radar. These are some of the tech niques Army meteorologists are employing in their cloud-physics research aimed at curbing the high tolls inflicted annually by tornadoes. According to records here, more than 9,000 persons have been killed and more than half a billion dollars' worth of pro perty has been wrecked in the past 40 years by tornadoes, ' which have been reported in every state. To combat the problem the meteorologists arc pressing the attack in three di rections. Two Winds One of their weapons is a la boratory tank in which they have broken a tornado into its basic elements in order to spawn miniature twisters. The scientists say their "tor nado tank" experiments verify an 1887 theory of William Fer rel, an early Signal Corps me teorologist. He believed that two separate winds, an updraft and a slow circulating current near the ground, must tangle to spawn a tornado. By them selves, these two types of wind are relatively harmless.

Morrison -tland S, Oregon PLEASE PRINTt NAME ADDRESS- CITY- -20NE a glass-sided affair similar to a fish tank, water currents replace winds. Water sucked from the top through a glass tube creates the "updraft," while a slow ro tating current is developed un derneath. Dr. H. K. Weickmann, devel oper of the tank, said that when the two currents clash there is a simulation of what happens in the big volume of air during a natural storm. Another phase of the counter attack on tornadoes is a plan to cast a 30-mile line of alumin um confetti, or chaff, in the path of a storm from a research aircraft. Lightning Studied - The chaff, used during World War II to jam radars by caus ing confusing images on scopes, will be used to trace wind pat terns in a storm. The chaff cloud will be tracked by ground and Mors 'Glulam' Churches A church built of hewn beams and rived planks with not a lit tle mud and hay was an early work of Plymouth colony m 1621.

The drop, planned for next year's tornado season near Ok lahoma City, is believed to be the first aluminum chaff-mapping will be tried in tornado re search. The project had been planned for this spring or sum mer, but had to be postponed because of defense priority dif ficulties in securing the proper aircraft. ' In the third phase of the tor nado research the scientists are studying lightning from storms for characteristics that may identify them as potential torna does. Such a lightning "finger print," they believe, could give away a twister even before it formed. Dr. Weickmann emphasized that the Signal Corps research is designed to provide . the key to an early tornado alert and not to break up or prevent tornadoes. 4-JL3 STEVENS J- Church of Christ, U.S.A., with 2,085,570 members, in 8,320 congregations. A veteran Portland minister is at present the guiding genius of this movement, which unites four former separate domina tions the Congregational, the Christian, the Evangelical, and the Reformed churches. He ' is Dr. Raymond B. Walker, minis ter of the First Congregational church, Portland, for more than a quarter of a century. A Bill ings, Mont.,, parson before his call to Portland, Westerner Walker is chairman of the ex ecutive committee of the Con gregational - Christian General council. His committee has car ried out the church union direc tives of the. General council, which meets every second year . In mid-June the General coun cil will convene again, at Oma ha, while the General council of the Evangelical and Reformed church the other major denom ination of the union that is form ing the United Church will meet at Lancaster, Pa. The councils first sealed ap proval of the union in 1947 and 1948. The physical . and legal problems of uniting the organi zations of mission boards, with stations in 18 countries, a dozen large hospitals, many colleges Pacific university is one and other properties, has been enor mous. State conferences and synods are also in process of union. Now, in each case, there will be one denominational or ganization where, before 1931, there were four. The Big Baptist Meeting In Seattle, summer of 1931, the General convention of the Christian church (not the Disci ples of Christ) and the National Council of the ' Congregational churches united as the General council of the Congregational Christian, churches. The United Church grew on from" that ac tion, through vital phases, in conferences with leaders of the Evangelical and Reformed church. It was approved by na tional delegates of both denomi nations in 1950, 1952, and 1954. In Cleveland next year the first General Synod of the United Church will hold its formal "uniting meeting." The Northwest's greatest church meeting is also coming to Seattle in mid-June when the American Baptist convention will assemble there. The 10,000 who attend will all be working on their own way to union with other Baptist divisions. There are shining hopes of the out come. Anyhow the Baptist archi tects and other building experts will go home with a bigger and better understanding of the val ues of the region's building products that's for sure! Red Reign of Terror Reported in Tibet Katmandu, Nepal (U.R) The Chinese Communists are carrying out a "reign of terror" in Tibet and the capital city of Lhasa is "full of fear," reports reaching here from the Communist-occupied nation said today. Reports, brought out by of ficials here for the coronation of Nepalese King Mahrendra, said vast areas of the mountain theocracy were in revolt against the Chinese Communist "colon ialists" and that tribesmen still were fighting the Reds. Chinese authorities here for the coronation denied all such reports as "mere fabrication.". Tibetan officials themselves say the Chinese "are very popular" in Tibet and that the Reds have "never interfered with the Tib etan religion." DEATH SENTENCE John Gilbert Graham, 24, sits to Denver courtroom as the jury deliberates his fate. The jury of seven men and five women found him guilty of first degree murder and fixed his penalty at death. He was on trial for killing his .nother and 43 others by blow ing up an airliner.

Marian It parents. would crush our LUCY We have three sisters in our family, I am the oldest, Marian is next and Jenny, 17, is the youngest. Jenny has fallen in with some bad companions and seems headed for some real trou ble. We are very much afraid she may have ruined her life al ready, but we cannot agree on what course we should take. Jenny lies to our parents about her evenings. She recently fabricated an elaborate scheme tor spending a week end with a man. This entailed getting a girl in another town to write her a letter inviting her to spend the week end with her. Marian and I knew this invitation was a phony, and we threatened that we would expose Jenny to our parents if she did not call the thins off. Our expedient worked that time, but Jenny is now becoming more defiant. When we tried to stop her from visiting a man's home the other night, she became very brazen and threatened to tell our parents herself. This led almost 'to blows. ? I feel as though Marian and I are over our heads and should tell our parents, but Marian dis agrees. Marian I think Jenny is quite sophisticated and cynical. I agree with Lucy that Jenny has prob ably already ruined her life, but I do not feel it is necessary to confront our parents with the harsh facts. Jenny will not get into the kind of trouble that will readily become apparent. She will not be an innocent victim of anything, as she is quite "wise in these matters. Her misdeeds will no doubt catch up with her in robbing her of a chance for a wholesome family life. But it will help no one to confront our parents with this harsh tragedy. They will be broken up about it, and they will be just as helpless as we are. The Council: Jenny may not be quite as brazen as her sisters think. She may be blufling a bit when she defies them to tell her parents. In any event, she should be asked to go with her sisters to the parents and have the mat ter out. Her brazenness may wilt if confronted with this show down. Marian's attitude assumes that the parents are not equal to the problem. Unless there is some compelling reason of health or unless she believes them to be Rural Electricification Administrator Resigns Washington U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower today "reluc tantly" accepted the resignation of Ancher Nelsen as Rural Elec trification administrator. Nelsen, whose resignation is effective May 15, quit to run for governor of Minnesota. . Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Council she should not deprive them of an opportunity to cope with their youngest daughter's moral de linquency. It is not impossible that Jen ny's behavior may be, in part, a distorted revolt against being the youngest sister. Perhaps the older sisters are far less capable of influencing Jenny than the parents would be. However that may be, these older sisters are still young girls and are taking much more on themselves than they have, any right to. They should have a final show down with Jenny. They should let her know that unless she agrees to toe the line in her be havior and keeps her promises, they will tell her parents; and they should make good on the threat unless Jenny shows un mistakable signs of improve ment.
