Its sinrularity was one of decree :
rather than one of abnormality, j
This "unusual" weather wasj
then followed by a scries of :
weather reversals: a larse sec-1
tion of the U.S.. including the j
Great Plains' region, suffered
soil-moisture deficiency many t
areas receiving ls than 10 per
cent of their customary precipi
tation in snow arid rain: Canada.
in turn, received extremely
heavy snowfalls. Such weather j
reversals were duplicated in Eu-1
rope blizzards raged from
S'andtnavia to Turkey, arid for;
26 clays frigid Siberian winds '
blew in from the east moving j
the air opposite from its .normal i
flow.
Although some weathermen ;
point nut that these "reversals" j
have been building up during
the past four years. Dr. Beneels
dorf states that during these
four years more and lar;er nu
clear devices have been explod
ed by the U S . the Soviet Union
and Great Britain.
Cloud-Seeding Cited
Drawing a parallel with Dr.
Irving Langmuir's cloud-seeding
experiments, some meteorolo
gists have conceded that chain
reactions set off by the cloud
seeding could influence the for
mation of severe storms not
just locally, but long distances
away! And if sowing ice-crystals
'or ice-like silver iodide) can do
this . . .?
He goes on to say: "Just what
sets up storms is not precisely
known . . . but many scientist'
are convinced that only a subtle
variant is necessary to generate
the first breath of a hurricane's
life . . .
"In the prevailing condition
of our ignorance." he sums up.
"categorical pronouncements are
not in nrdcr. Even if the chances
of nuclear bomb effects on the
weather are extremely small,
the human and economic stakes
are high enough to merit a seri
ous and mature consideration
. . . What happens to the weather
will affect everyone on earth."
(Next Friday. .Ian. 4. we'll dis
cuss what weathermen believe
the influence of the H-bomb has
upon our weather. EB.)

a price war and pave the way for

Portland milk firms jumped
the price from 34 cent? to 43
cents to end a six-month spree
of price cutting in the city across
the Columbia river. Producers
said they were hopeful of a 1
