1'Flash Advisory' Aids
Air Pilots Already Aloft
Salt Lake City (IPS The
U. S. - Weather Bureau has
come up with a new service
to help warn pilots of changes
In weather conditions that
.jrright imperil their planes.
Iff called a "flash advis
ory" and is particularly de
signed to aid airmen who are
already aloft.
." The first special advisories
Vere issued at aviation fore
cast centers throughout the
nation on March 15 and were
explained to United Press
.during an interview with
.John C. Eberhardt, meteoro
logist in charge of the Salt
Xake City airport weather
station.
The flashes will be issued
.. only when forecasters deter
' mine hazardous conditions
, have come up that pilots
I Should knov.' about. In effect,
they supplement the regular
forecasts, good for the next
24 hours, that are made by
jthe weather centers every six
thours.
I But in addition to being
"transmitted on the high-speed
teletype lines that connect
cores of Weather Bureau and
JPivil' Aeronautics Adminis
; tration airways communica
tions centers, they are also
i-Jadioed on an emergency ba
sis to aircraft flying in the
affected areas.

Trout Eggs Held
In Hatcheries
Portland More than 9,235.
000 eggs taken from fall
spawning brood trout are now
In the hatching troughs at
game commission hatcheries
throughout the state. Another
million and a half kokanee
-eggs were shipped to the sta
tions from out of state and
the silver salmon egg produc
tion completed for the year.
The fall rainbow trout egg
take at Leaburg, Oak Springs,
and Roaring River hatcheries
closed at mid-January with
a record take of more than
7,497,000 eggs, most of which
were transferred to other sta
tions for hatching and rear
ing. Another 725,000 fall rain
bow eggs were produced at
the McKenzie and Willamette
plants.
Totals 1.013.000
Cutthroat trout egg produc
tion at the Bandon and Alsea
hatcheries totalled 1.013.000,
with probably another 300,
000 yet to go. The Alsea sta
. tion also completed its silver
salmon egg take with a total
production of 52,300.
- . More than 1.500,000 ko
kanee were shipped into the
state from Montana and were
dispersed to the Fall River,
Wallowa, and Wizard Falls
hatcheries for incubation.
All hatcheries are now in
the process of preparing for
the production of eggs from
spring spawning stocks which
should get under way by mid-
"March.
PASTRANO TO FIGHT

round bout at Birmingham,
Eng., March 31.
" Mississippi produces 100,
0"00 barrels of oil every day
from its 106 fields located in
29 counties.
i communications center here,
is the "beam channel" nor
mally monitored by pilots as
an aid to their navigation.
The beam channel usually
broadcasts a signal that gives
a continuous tone when an
airman is "on course" along
the invisible regularly estab
lished airways. If he is on one
side, hears a Morse code "A".'
If he is on the other side of
the beam, he receives an "N"
signal.
This beam customarily is
broken only at hourly inter
vals to give scheduled reports
of weather conditions along
the airway and conditions at
terminals.
However, Harritt and Eber
hardt explained, it can be in
terrupted on an emergency
basis for broadcast of the
"flash advisory" . weather
warnings. Stations are so
placed that pilots are always
within range of a broadcast.
Eberhardt said the flash
warnings are issued when
forecasts show the presence
of conditions that would
cause locally severe torna
does, thunderstorms, h a i I
storms, dust storms, icing con
ditions or extraordinary tur
bulence. They also are prepared to
warn of phenomena produc
ing low ceilings of 1,000 feet
or less, restricted visibility of
two miles or less or strong,
gusty surface winds over an
area of at least 3,000 square
miles.
First Day j
On the first day of the new
service, conditions in the Salt
Lake City area were normal
and no flash advisories were
issued from here.
But a look at the CAA com
munications network copy
showed that forecast centers
in San Francisco and Seattle
were busy taking advantage
for the fliers of the new
system.
San Francisco, in its "flush
advisory No. 4" issued at
12:50 p.m., PST, warned pi
lots they would encounter oc
cational moderate icing con
ditions between 5,000 and 15,
000 feet over the Sierra Ne
vadas from Donner Summit
to Yosemite Park. This warn-'
ing was valid for the next
four hours.
Seattle, in its initial advis
ory, warned that widespread
conditions had suddenly de
veloped that would reduce
ceilings of 500 to 1,000 feet
and visibility to three to five
miles over eastern Washington
from Ephrata to the Cascades
and over the northwest por
tion of eastern Oregon. Light
rain and fog would be includ
ed, the advisory said, with
"ceilings improving only
slightly in the afternoon."
Eberhardt and Harritt
agreed that the news service
should be of great value to
fliers, particularly during the
winter when weather condi
tions frequently worsen after
planes have taken off.

Muscle Study May
Broaden Heart Data
Los Angeles (IP) A better
understanding of the intricate
mechanism of the heartbeat
may result from a new tech
nique of studying heart
muscle in action designed by
Dr. William J. Whalen of the
UCLA medical school.
The journal, Circulation Re
search, said Dr. Whalen's
method makes possible simul
taneous physical and bio
chemical measurements of the
heart muscle action. 1
Tiny strips of human and
animal heart muscle are sus
pended in a small chamber in
which is circulated a physio
logical solution. Highly sensi
tive strain gauges measure
changes in the muscle strip's
length, tension and. rate of
contraction.
At the same time, chemical
changes in the solution reflect
oxygen consumption of the
tissue, thus giving an indica
tion of biochemical activity as
sociated with the muscle ac
tion. Various types of drugs can
be put into the chamber to
test , their effects on heart
