Miy 12, 190 1 W W J jfr mm Tiros-Type Photos To Save Millions Yearly Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Spotting storms Iron) outer space, such as the ty phoon photographed from Tiros, will save U.S. industry and Government millions up on millions of dollars yearly. 1 Advance warning of e-1 vere storm's approach will al- , low those in lis predicted path to take precautionary meas- ; ures that will save lives and forestall extensive property damage. The typhoon photographs taken from the experimental weather satellite mBrk a "ma jor milestone" in weather forecasting. Dr. F. W. Reich elderfer, chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau, told Science Service. Scientists Excited He said Bureau scientists were "tremendously excited" about the possibilities of spot ting undetected storms from space when weather satellites become operational rather than experimental, as Tiros is. Hurricane forecasts, for in stance, instead of warning of the threat of a possible hurri cane in the Gulf of Mexico would be definite as to the presence of a tropical storm and Its location. Reconnais sance airplines could be sent directly to the spot, Instead of having to search a wide area to find the storm. Tornadoes also, when pho tographed from above, might show some characteristic that could be used to spot them before the twisting funnels were seen from earth-bound stations. "The detail on photographs from Tiros at the present time is enough that there is hop they will show conditions in tornado situations that can be recognized and used to identi fy and detect the deadly storms," Dr. Reichcld erf er said. Given Incentive He noted thai the success of the equipment In the Tiros satellite, which functioned be yond the expectation of its designers, gave the Weather Bureau a strong case to strengthen and t'peed up the a i h r satellite Droaram. One problem, he said, was to make the information garner ed by satellites available as soon as possible to weather stations around the country. Com munlcations satellites to reflect radio waves carry ing this information would cnluik- Hip nrnhlem Dr. Reichelderfer said that the "major accomplishment" ot Tiros in taking pictures of earth's weather patterns con- ! firmed the prediction made in : 1954 by Dr. Harry Wexler, ; the Bureau's director of me- ! t e o r o logical research, that such information could be gathered by satellites. 14-Month Fire War i In Mine Described Pittsburgh (Science Service) The battle against a coal mine fire at Ratan, N.M., cost $750, Onn, 3,4 BO man-hours and lots of sweat. It lasted 14 months. W. K. Dcnnison Jr., a sup erintendent for the Kaiser Steel Corp., described the fight at the American Mining congress here. First, he said, air had to be sealed away from the mine fire. Still an estimated 20,000,000 cubic feet of air remained behind the seals. So 1,300 Ions of dry Ice was used to produce carbon dioxide to try to smother the fire. Then the air seals were nlowly moved toward the fire. Crewmen had to have their own air supplies and lifelines lo prevent their being lost in the smoke. The fire area was then flooded. The area is still seal ed from the rest of the mine. The fire area was confined to an area about 400 by 600 feel. Iowa Most Gften Hit by Tornadoes St. Louis - (Science Serv ice) - Iowa was the state most frequcnllv hit by tornadoes from 1916 to 1050, a U.S. Weather bureal cllmatologist has reported here. Lothnr A. Joos of Cham paign, 111., said Hint current averages, however, placed Iowa behind Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska In tornado oc currence. He told the Amcri can Meteorological society meeting here that the recent sharp increase in tornado fre quency resulted from better reporting of the occurrence of these several local storms, not from a detectable increase in actual frequency. A recent survey showed that there were 11;000 domesticated reindeer in the Province of ritinmii'k in northern iirway, Uil jrar. IX Dir. XI PteiCKMH mi ill ii a.
