Search Continues For Methods To Dissipate Fog Washington- (LTD -Must man stand by helplessly when a "killer fog" rolls in over city? This question is getting in creasing attention from weath er - control scientists. They have found several ways of dispelling fog on a temporary, local basis. So far, no feasible method has been discovered to deliver a whole city from the damp gray blanket that blots out the sun and some times lives as well. The worst "killer fogs" in history were those that caused thousands of ' deaths in Lon don in 1952 and 1956. It looked for a while as though London was going to have a repeat last December, but a change in natural weather conditions lifted the blanket just in time. America's worst suchdisaster occurred in Dc nora, Pa., in 1948, when nat ural fog combined with man made pollution to causa 20 r deaths. Promising Way Controlling man-made air pollution seems at the mo ment to be the most promising -way to prevent such catastro phies. Strenuous efforts ara being made in this direction as witness the national con ference on air pollution held here last November. But even a "clean fog" can be dangerous, because it de stroys visibility at airportJ, and on streets and highways. So the search goes on for a way to get rid of the whispy stuff. The earliest modern experi ments were made in Britain during World War II at tha instigation of Prime "Minister Winston Churchill. Fog over RAF landing fields was se verely handicapping fighter operations during the Battla of Britain. S Churchill gava top priority to a project dub bed "FIDO" - Fog Dispersal Operation. It yielded one prac tical solution: when vast quan tities of petrol were burned near the runways of air fields, the heat thrown off created a sort of "tunnel" in the fog through which returning fighters were able to land. Quantities of Fuel The same principle "the oretically" could be invoked to dissipate a potential killer fog over a big city like Lon don, according to Norman P. Hagen, U. S. Weather Bureau meteorologist. "But it would require pro digious quanties of fuel," Hagen said. "The amount of heat required to dispel a heavy fog over a large area staggers the imagination. No economically feasible way of producing so much heat is now known." How about exploding bombs in the air to break up tha fog? "Not practical." said Hagen. In the first place, it wouldn't work, and in the second place the waste products from tha explosion (even, assuming it was non-nuclear) would con taminate the fog and maka matters worse. Many successful experi ments have been conducted both here and abroad in tha use of. dry ice pellet or silver iodide particles to condensa some of the moisture in a fog. The technique ia the sama used in rain-making. The dry ice pellets are dropped into the fog from a plane or tna silver iodide particles are sent up from a ground smoke generator. If the fog conditions are iust right, these techniques will produce temporary, local dissipation. But the cost, diffi culty and unreliability of both processes have limited their use to small areas, such as air ports. Giant Fans Work Another method which sometimes works well in a limited area is to blow the fog awav with giant fans. It was done 'at some fighter strips during wartime - by using tha propellors of many parked planes as fans. It is being used currently at certain danger spots on the . New Jersey Turnpike, where great lana have been installed to blow way local accumulation! of fog which otherwise wouia present severe hazards to afa driving. There may be another, sim pler and better way that no one has thought of yet. That'a why the research is continu ing. Oregon Seen More Solvent Than Nation Salem - (CPU - Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) said she be lieves Oregon is more solvent than the federal government. She told sttte senators, with a smile, Tuesday not to be surprised if federal aid is sent from Washington at the rate of SI of federal money to be matched by S9 of state money. She is noma for tha Easter recess.
