Seventy-ono was the card
a host ot divoters attempted
to beat today in the biggest
and last day of qualifying
rounds for the 30th annual
Southern Oregon Golf cham
pionships at Rogue Valley
Country club.
Dr. Robert Buck, the 1957
medalist, and Alan Holmes,
reigning Rogue Valley , club
champ, each turned in one
below par 71s in yesterday's
advance qualifying for the
men's division. Marvin Clark,
Grants Pass, defender in his
class, headed senior men's
qualifiers with a 73 and Sue
Devoe, Medford, paced the
women's field with a score of
81.
Out-of-town golfers in men's
and women's divisions and
senior men unable to tour the
links yesterday were on the
Medford greens and fairways
today to determine their po
sitions in flights for match
play which opens Thursday.
Sixty-four will gain the titular
bracket in the regular men's
tourney while 16 each will be
in the women's and senior

the qualifying days for RVCC

quired to tour their 18-hole
rounds yesterday.
None Declare

missed attracting some of the
state's "name" players when
none of the contenders in yes

clared his first round for the
Southern Oregon. That means
of qualifying for the Labor

set up by the Rogue Valley
tourney committee.

holes yesterday. He had a
bird on No. 2 green but bogied
Nos. 1 and 13. Both he and
Buck missed opportunity on
No. 18 to wind up with a lower
card. Buck bogied the hole
after a good drive off the tee.
Holmes pulled his approach
wide to the left of the green
but still managed a par on
the hole.
Clark was 4 four over par
after five holes but three un
der from the sixth green on.

Man Said Now Able To Control
Weather Within Limitations
Editor's note: This is the second
of two dispatches providing the
latest information on what science
is doing to control our weather.
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
Washington -(UPD- Man has
always dreamed of control
ling the weather. And within
strict limitations, he has
learned ways of doing it.
"A straw hat," said meteor
ologist Norman Hagen of the
U.S. Weather Bureau, "pro
vides weather control for a
man's head. An air condition
ing system provides weather
control for a whole building.
On a somewhat larger scale,
experiments of the past few
years have demonstrated that
"rainmaking". is possible in
certain areas and under cer
tain circumstances.
Where super-cooled, moisture-laden
clouds are moving
up the windward slope of the
mountains, it is possible to
"seed" these clouds with sil
ver iodide crystals and in
crease the normal rainfall by
about 15 per cent.
Seeding Not Successful
But cloud-seeding has , not
proved successful in con
trolled tests over flatlands or
in normally arid areas. Since
these are the very areas
where people are most anx
ious to stimulate greater rain
fall, large-scale weather con
trol by cloud-seeding does not
seem to be very promising.
It is not surprising that
man should find it exceeding
ly difficult to tamper with
the weather. The forces which
nature bandies about in pro
ducing the weather stagger
human imagination.
"A simple summer thunder
storm," said Hagen, ?'genei

a hydrogen bomb seem like a
firecracker."
Does this mean that weath
er control is impossible?
Certainly not, said Dr.
Harry Wexler, director of re
search for the weather bu
reau. "There is no question
that weather control of some
sort will emerge from the
exploration of space."
Could Focus Rays
One possibility is that satel
lite vehicles might be used
to "hang a giant magnifying
glass in space. It could be
used to focus the sun's rays
on a particular part of the
earth's surface, just as a hand
magnifying glass focuses a
burning beam of sunlight on
a leaf. If the magnifying glass
in space were focused on the
Arctic Circle, for example, i
might thaw out the Arctic ice
pack.
That would radically change
North America's weather. It
would put an end to the win
ter cold waves that pour
down from Canada. Of course
it might also raise ocean lev
els enough to drown ports
like New York and Sn Fran
cisco. "If man does learn how to
control the weather, he will
have to be mighty careful
what he does," said Hagen.
"It is fairly easy to compute
the immediate effect of a par
ticular change. But you have
to think about all the side-
effects too."
Could Create Screen
There's another way in
which space vehicles might
be used to alter the weather,
They could scatter particles
of light-absorbing materials
to create a sort of screen that
would reduce the amount of
sunlight falling on a particu
lar part of the earth's surface.
This technique could be used
benignly to modify' the hot
climate of the tropics, c ma
liciously to destroy the agri
culture of an enemy country.
Some large-scale weather
control projects could be un
dertaken without the aid of
space vehicles. But they
would be enormously diffi
cult and expensive.
One possibility that has
long attracted weather scien
tists is diverting the warm
"Japanese current" of the Pa
cific ocean into the Arctic,
perhaps by building a huge
dam somewhere off the Aleu
tians. The ice cover of the Arctic
ocean is only six or seven feet
thick, on the average. With a
warm current running be
neath it, this ice pack would
eventually melt. This might
make Alaska a competitor for
Florida's tourist trade. But as
mentioned earlier, it might
also put Times Square 'into
competition with Venice for
the gondola trade. t
Another project, which is
at least theoretically feasible,
is aimed at preventing hurri
canes from spawning in the
South Atlantic and , Carib
bean. ... '

Fahreinheit. Scwhy not tow
a lot of icebergs down from
Greenland to cool the surface
of the subtropical waters
where most of our hurricanes
are born?
"It might work if you did
it .on a sufficiently large
scale," said Hagen.
"But it would certainly
take a mess of icebergs."
