Advance Guard Keeps Trained Eye
On Tempests Born in Caribbean
Washington (U.R) At the
first sign of a tropical hurricane
contemplating a northern vaca
tion this summer or fall, the
Joint Hurricane Warning Cen
ter will- speedily alert areas in
danger.
From its Miami, Fla., head
quarters, the advance guard
keeps a trained weather eye on
Caribbean-born tempests which
in 1955 wrought more destruc
tion and death than in any year
in American history.
Veteran weathermen have
said that the eastern seaboard
can expect no respite in annual
lashings by the storms. The Wea
ther Bureau says that a shift in
upper air currents, which began
a generation ago blows the ocean
twisters into middle and upper
Atlantic states where they for
merly had been rare.
Last year the heavily popu
lated regions in the newly form
ed hurricane belt sustained loss
es of at least 1,578 lives, and
$2,500,000,000 in property dam
age. How II I Don
A recent announcement from
the U. S. Air Force's Air Wea
ther Service said that little can
be done to abate the fury of the
storms other than early warn
ings. To this end the U. S. Wea
ther Service cooperate in alert
ing areas expected to be in the
path of hurricanes. Storm infor
mation and warnings are cen
tralized at the Hurricane Warn
ing Center in Miami.
The USAF report said that the
general public, industry and bus
iness will receive warnings from
the Weather Bureau. The Air
Force warning service provides
for Army and. Air Force instal
lations and for certain civil ag
encies. The U. S. Navy forecasts
for naval Installations and ships
at sea. 1
When a hurricane report is re
ported, the Air Force said, the
Miami center goes on 24-hour
watch. Since the official hurri-

cane season extends from June
1 until about Nov. 15, vacations
for the watchful watchmen are
out of the question even though
the center increases its staff
from 15 to 19 workers.
Special Reports
Weather planes of the Navy
and Air Force fly daily missions
over 1.500,000 square miles of
ocean adjacent to the east coast.
The data they gather is relayed
to the center over USAF and
Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion teletype circuits.
Though the planes police a fix
ed "beat," they rush to storm
areas for special hurricane re-l-orts.
These reports, giving tem
perature, pressure and humidity
within and outside the storm's
eye, are sent to the center. There
an Air Force officer checks it for
accuracy and may ask AWS
ground stations near the storm
area to make special ground ob
servations and baloon runs. The
center pieces this intelligence to
gether to determine the storm's
probable path as accurately as
possible.
Four special bulletins are re
leased from Miami each day of
the storm. Several more may be
issued to report new or contra
dictory information. These bul
letins give the storm's location
arid forecasts its expected movements.

Bachelor Learns Fatherhood Art
Aboard Navy's 'Diaper Special'
Atlanta (U.R) The bach
elor in charge of the Navy's
"diaper special" vowed today
that he had learned just about
every problem connected with
married life in a five-day,
cross-country trip with 123
children, 99 mothers, 12 dogs
and two parakeets.
"We've had our share of
trials and tribulations," said
Lt. David J. Martz of Wash
ington, D.C., in what husbands
would call a masterpiece of
understatement.
Martz is in charge of a 15
car train hauling dependents
of crew members of the car
rier Franklin D. Roosevelt to
Jacksonville. Fla. The train
left Bremerton. Wash., Satur
day while the Roosevelt sailed
around Cape Horn on the
southern tip of South America.
"I'm learning fast what it
would be like to be a father'
Martz said. He was just about
the only one on the train
awake when it pulled into
union station here at 5:30 a.m.
Martz, who except for a
small crew of Navy personnel,
is surrounded by women, 37
of them pregnant, and chil
dren. 80 of them under three
years of age, has carried out
fatherly duties ranging from
burping babies to changing
diapers to baby sitting.
Lack of diapers was just
about the only problem he has
not had to contend with. The
train started out with 12,000
of the disposable kind. Martz
said "we've already run
Australians Dig Deep in Pockets
For Purchase of Lottery Tickets
Sydney (U.R) America has
its $64,000 question, but Aus
tralia has its lotteries. Here,
with less brains but more luck,
you can win up to 51,100,000.
Already endowed with an in
ternational reputation as heavy
and ready gamblers, Australians
now dig deeper into their
pockets to buy more lottery
tickets. They're going in a big
way for the new 51,100,000 lot
tery at S56 a ticket.
Those who haven't the $56,
form syndicates to fill the lottery
which has 100,000 tickets on
sale. -
Promoters report increasing
interest overseas in Australian
lotteries. They say they'll pay
in dollars, francs or pesos if the
lucky ticket-holder happens to
be outside Australia.
All told, 80,000,000 lottery
tickets axe sold here every year.
This represents an annual turn
over of more than $65,000,000
for the business. With the bigger
prize money now being offered,
this total is likely to hit $88,
000.000 this year.
On an average, Australians in
vest $85 yearly on tickets in the
huge sweepstakes. Tickets are
sold throughout the country at
the rate of 14 a second every
second of every minute, of every
working day of the year.
The huge new lottery stunned
even the most sophisticated Aus
tralians who used to consider
the earlier $65,000 lottery as
"more than one could wish for."
With five rival lottery groups,
Australians can now invest from
55 cents to S56 to win from $13,-
000 to the monster "half-million-quid.".
In every state but one. South
Australia, lotteries are run by
either the government or private
organizations under government
supervision. The state govern-
ments take approximately one
third of the turnover from their
lotteries, while- the private con
cerns rake in what's left after
prize money, expenses and taxes.
Although the smallest of the
six Australian states. Tasmania,
the small island to the south of
the mainland, has led the way
in presenting mammoth lottery
prizes. Arthur Drysdale's Tas-m-
lian lotteries, only 18 months
old. launched a first prize of
$330,000 last year, with an al
ternate choice' for the winner
of a hotel- worth $440,000 in
stead of the cash.
Early this year Drysdale
started a $560,000 "Sportsman's
Special" and followed this Up
with the $1,100,000 "Olympic
Special," so dubbed to cash in on
the fact that Australia is Olym-
Studies Under Way
On Woodburn Project
Salem (U.R) Architecture and
engineering studies were under
way today on the proposed
Woodburn Air Force base
project.
Walter Isaac of the Leo A.
Daly Company has been in
Marion and Yamhill counties
mis week ascertaining zoning
regulations that might affect the
new jet base.
Isaac said considerable data
from preliminary studies and
surveys already has been turned
over to the Air Force and other
information is being assembled
at the Daly Company's main of
fices in Omaha, Neb.
The Air Force has indicated
that actual construction of the
base may be delayed a year due
to a "reduction in scope" of the
Air Force's building program.
pic host in November at Mel
bourne, Victoria.
In the face of such solid com
petition, the other Aussie lot
teries had a problem as they saw
potential ticket buyers "going
south after the big money. They
were all reluctant to raise the
ante on Tasmania.
The little lotteries or, as they
are called, ordinaries, repre
sent the greater bulk of lottery
revenue, and with a drawing al
most every day, New South
Wales leads the field with the
biggest share of the annual lot
tery pie. These lotteries account
to a major extent for the 525,
000.000 turnover in this state.
The protests of civic and
church leaders are lost in the
clamor of Australians to invest
in the lotteries. Church officials
attack the get-rich-quick atti
tude of the lottery ticket-buying
public as a threat to the social
fabric of the nation. But just as
their voices were unheeded when
lotteries were first introduced
30 years ago, Australians con
tinue to ignore them.
Lotteries originally were in-
Suspected 'Hankie'
Robbers Captured
Portland (U.R) Three men
suspected of being Portland's
"Hankie Robbers" were appre
hended early today.
Police said Theodore M. Logs-
den, 20: Kenja Hirata, 23, and
Edward Joseph Davis, 21, all of
Portland, had admitted robber
ies at three establishments the
past week. In each instance the
robbers wore handkerchiefs tied
over their faces and one carried
a toy pistol similar to two found
in the stolen car recovered at
the time of the arrests this mor-
troduced as a means of raising1
money for charitable organiza
tions and hospitals. But less than
half the profit goes to hospitals,
and critics are quick to point
this out.
In addition to lotteries, the
gambling Australians try their
luck In "art unions' and raffles
wh'ch offer automobiles, houses,
racehorses and household appli
ances as prizes. Hundreds of
these operate annually. All these
ventures are apart from the un
told millions spent by Austral
ians on horse and dog racing.
