Long-Term Program
Of Weather Control
Research Launched
Br A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington The federal
government has launched a
long-term program, of research
trsje and expen-
mentation in
LSD
t h e mysteri
ous field of
how to con
trol the weather.
This is the
outgrowth of
a study of the
weather con
trol problem
an advisory
A. Robt Smitb
conducted by
committee appointed by Presi
dent Eisenhower. After four
years of surveying the field of
weather control work, the
president's committee con
cluded that a great deal of
basic research must be done
before man will be able to do
much more than just talk
about the weather.
Congress followed the ad
. vice of the president's commit
tee and authorized the Na
tional Science Foundation to
, "initiate and support a pro
gram of study, research and
evaluation in the field of wea
ther modification, giving par
ticular attention to areas that
have experienced floods, hail,
drought, lightning, fog, tor-i
nadoes, hurricanes, or other
weather phenomena, and to
report annually to the Presi
dent and the Congress thereon."
Atmospheric Sciences
The Science Foundation has
added what it calls a program
for atmospheric sciences and
taken on Dr. Earl G. Droess
ler as program director. For
merly with the office of sci
ence at the Defense Depart
ment, Dr. Droessler says it is
too early yet to evaluate what
progress has been made since
the program was launched this
past summer.
Dr. Droessler intends to
broaden the scope of the
Foundation's support of re
search in cloud physics.
Through financial grants, the
.Foundation has underwritten
laboratory studies of cloud
seeding agents at the Univer
sity of Chicago. These are
being correlated with actual
field observations of summer
storms produced by cumulus
clouds over Arizona.
The president's advisory
committee summarized its
findings after four years of
work as follows:
1. The statistical pro
cedures employed indicated
that, the seeding of winter
type storm clouds in moun
tainous areas in western Unit
ed States produced an aver
age increase in precipitation
of 10 to 15 per cent from seed
ed storms with heavy odds
that this increase was not the
result of natural variations in
the amount of rainfall.
2. In the non-mountainous
areas, the same statistical pro
cedures did not detect any in
crease in precipitation that
could be attributed to cloud
seeding. This does not mean
that effects may not have
been produced. The greater
variability of rainfall patterns
in non-mountainous areas
made the technique less sensi
tive for picking up small
changes which might have oc
curred there than when ap
plied to the mountainous re
gions. Results Inconclusive
3. There was no evidence
that cloud seeding had had a
negative effect on precipita
tion. 4. Results of hail suppres
sion projects were inconclu
sive. The committee went on to
recommend the widest pos
sible research in meteorology
by the government, universi
ties, industries and other
agencies. It suggested that a
research program include
work along these lines:
1. The effect of solar dis
turbances on weather.
2. Factors controlling glo
bal atmospheric circulation.
3. Factors governing gene
sis and movement of large
scale storms. ,
4. Dynamics of cloud mo
tions. 5. Processes of rain and
snow formation, and import
ance of the physical phenom
ena which govern these pro
cesses. 6. Electrification process in
clouds and its role in weather.
7. Natural sources of con
densation and ice-forming nu
clei and their role.
8. Methods, materials and
.equipment employed in wea
ther modification.

Brannock Issues
Reminder lo Yets
"Promptness" and "ac
curacy" ought to be the rules
for all school-going veterans
this fall, not only in their
classroom work but also in
their monthly GI training re
ports, S. T. Brannock, officer
in charge of the Medford Vet
erans administration office,
said today.
The monthly certifications
of training, signed by both the
veteran and a representative
of his schcool, are keystones
of the Korean GI bill, Bran
nock explained. Under , the
law, VA must have a certifica
tion eachsmonth before it can
pay a veteran his GI allowance.
Brannock said veterans
should submit their monthly
certifications as soon after the
end of the month as possible,
and advised veterans to look
over their monthly certifica
tions to be sure they are ac
curate.
Inaccurate reports, parti
cularly those resulting in vet
erans receiving more money
than they are entitled to, can
cause unncessary trouble and
delay, he pointed out.
Local Man Arraigned
Before Commissioner
James Horace Walpole, 30,
of South Grape st., Medford,
was arraigned before U.S.
Commissioner Frank Van
Dyke this morning on a
charge of violating the Dyer
act, according to law enforce
ment officials.
Walpole was arrested by
Grants Pass police Oct. 31
after he attempted to pass
some checks there, it was re
ported. Walpole is charged on
a federal complaint for the
theft of an automobile -in
Santa Monica, Calif., which
he had in his possession at the
time of his arrest.
He is being held in Jackson
county jail by Federal Bureau
of Investigation authorities.

For Club Work
County 4-H recognition
medals have been awarded
three 4-H home improvement
girls and one '4-H tractor club
member, Miss Marilou Gar
ner, 4-H club agent, has an

Glenna Brown, and Julia Ash
ton, members Of the Table
Rock Pack Rats Home Living
Storage 4-H club, received
county medals in the home im
provement phase of the 4-H
National Awards program.
The medals are sponsored by
Sears Roebuck -Foundation
and will be presented at local
community achievement
nights.
Jim Frink. son of Mr. and
Mrs. Morris Frink of Central
Point, a 6-year 4-H club mem
ber in swine and tractor, has
added junior leadership to his
projects this year. Jim has

try, and junior leadership
which she had carried in pre
vious years. Joan's exhibit in
color and room arrangement
at the 'Oregon State Fair not
only was champion in the col
or and room arrangement di
vision, but also grand cham
pion home living exhifcit.
Because of her all-around
outstanding record in 4-H club
work, Joan was awarded one
of the five Standard Oil schol
arships given to 4-H members.

in 4-H home improvement.
Glenna has been in 4-H club
work for eight years, having
taken clothing and home liv
ing projects.
Glenna was a member of a
demonstration team which
showed the making and use
of drawer dividers. The dem
onstration competed at the
Jackson county contest and
demonstration week last July.
Miss Ashton is the recipient
of the third 4-H home im
provement medal donated by
Sears Roebuck. Throughout
her six years as a 4-H club
member, she has carried proj
ects in clothing and home liv
ing. Julie's parents are Mr.

Halt To Benson's Support Program Seen in Results
Washington -(LTD A Repub
lican farm belt senator pre
dicted today the Democratic
congressional sweep will halt
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson's drive for fur
ther reductions in federal
farm price supports.
The Democratic victories,
cutting heavily into Republi
can strength in farm belt
states, will mean "as far as
Congress is concerned, a
change in attitude toward far
mers," said Sen. Milton R.
Young (R-N.D.).
Young, a frequent critic of
administration farm policy
who becomes second-ranking
GOP member of the Senate
Agriculture committee after
the defeat Tuesday of Sen. Ed
ward J. Thye (R-Minn.), told
United Press International:
"Thel-e will be no further re
duction in farm price supports."
Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.),
senior Democratic member of
the House Agriculture Com
mittee, said the election re
sults should make the next
Congress "more inclined" to
bolster farm prices.
Poage, reached at his home
in Waco, Texas, said he be
lieves Democratic farm lead
ers will push their own pro
gram of new farm legislation
next year instead of merely
resisting Benson's proposed
changes in present law.
Reviews of the results in
Tuesday's balloting in con
gressional districts where the
farm population amounts to 5
per cent or more of the total
indicated rising Democratic
strength in rural areas.
Disagrees With Benson
A check of 55 usually closely-contested
house districts
with 5 per cent or more farm
1 population showed Democrats
winning 23 seats in the 1954
elections, 32 in 1956 and 44
Tuesday.
Benson insisted in a post
election statement Wednesday
agriculture was not a prime
issue in the balloting and said
he saw no evidence of a vote
against the administration
farm program.
But Young said in an inter
view the returns "clearly in
dicate dissatisfaction with Re
publican farm policies."
Ontario's Lake Simco was
discovered by Champlain in
1645, but named after Gover
nor Simcoe, who died in 1806.
