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.

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

In the third phase of the tor

Council of the ' Congregational
churches united as the General
council of the Congregational

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

will go home with a bigger and
better understanding of the val

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."

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

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. (COPYRIGHT 1956,
