She is undoubtedly correct. Even now, fog can be cleared under certain specific conditions. But not all types of fog, in all conditions. The kind that can be cleared is the "super-cooled" variety, which, when seeded with particles of dry ice, tends to precipitate as rain or snow. There have been enough repeated successes with such fogs, locally and elsewhere, that suc cess can be predicted under the right circum stances. IT WAS DONE on a number of foggy fall and winter days here several years ago, and it was done here again yesterday. The trouble is that the technique is limited. It works only in a fairly restricted area, and it works only on very cold fog. And otten, low-lying and cover large areas. been worked out which successful in dispersing promising results have mentally. But, as our colleague fog dispersal were carried on with enough sup port, there is every reason to believe a successful technique could be found. A TTEMPTS to modify and control the weather "go far back, even before recorded history. At first they consisted of "hope, faith, magic and ritual," according to the 1957 report of the federal government's advisory committee on weather control. Rain dances, sacrifices, spells, incantations all these were employed with degrees of success entirely dependent on one's prejudices and beliefs. Among the first of the "scientific" attempts to modify weather were those using cannon and other applications of gunpowder, on the experi mental theory that noise would induce clouds to part with their rain. The results were, as might be expected, inconclusive. DUT IT was not until the advent of the airplane that wider applications of scientific principles were attempted, again with somewhat incon clusive results. Medford was the site of a number of such ex periments, and some of them were promising. Two younc fliers. Gene Kooser and Harvev Brandau, were in business ati.uilt vivjuua 1UI LUC WICVCI1L1U1I UL ildll, auu, experimentally, for the dispersal of fog and pro duction of rain.

Since that time, interest in physical control of the weather has been evidenced only spor adically, although basic research which may ulti mately lead to new methods and techniques is being continued. There is no "crash program," however, and it may be years before any degree of success can be expected. NE of the most promising avenues of research is that aimed at a better understanding of weather processes themselves, and here a prin cipal tool will be the observations of weather satellites. While these are primarily used for weather observation and forecasting,' they also are pro viding information about weathor'patterns world wide never before so comprehensive nor explicit, and there is reason to hope that a far deeper understanding of what causes weather to happen will result. Too, research into the effects of solar radia tion on the world's weather will assist in this general understanding. THE DAY is far off when the weather, world wide, will be amenable to human control. But the day is approaching when a wider un derstanding of weather will provide far more ac curate forecasts, and, hopefully, when some de gree of local and temporary control can be main tained.

Dear Mr. Frisch: Thank you for your letter of Oct 29 addressed to Past National Commander Charles Bacon. It was very kind of you to make known to Commander Bacon your views with re spect to the utilization of buildings at Camp White for Veterans Administration hos pital purposes. This subject has been under consideration for several years, and the major objec- tions to such utilization is that they are considered un- suitable for hospital purposes according to present stand ards, and the cost of bringing them up to the required stand ards would be practically pro hibitive. Another major factor is that due to the location, it would be very difficult to staff the hospital with the needed professional and tech nical personnel. Again, I must emphasize that we are happy to receive your views and would like to say that certain members of the Oregon Congressional Delegation have been very much interested in this sub ject for a long time.

"Deerslaying" To the Editor: To continue the discussion on the deer, elk and bird situation in Oregon, I have talked with hunters on this subject and many feel as I do about the following: 1. The game commission needs to hear directly from more hunters (without having to answer each and every letter). 2. The game commission and game people are to be congratulated for the many, many hours they have put in in the past in the interest of the best game management they knew how (and in the face of private interest groups and other pressure). 3. Hunters want to see game management as it is (in the hands of the state), not one big hunting club for indi viduals and out of staters, but want certain items and pro cedures corrected and amend ed in the interest of what needs to be done and what the hunters want. 4. The game commission should, in the future, poll hunters, as they have In the past, only more, and see also what they want. In the inter est of better management and future hunting in the state of Oregon, after all, what group knows better than the hunter himself what action needs to be taken. (The hunter, in the interest of better hunting, will be more likely to furnish an unbiased comment or state ment). 5. If the game commission feels the hunting season should be lifted (pulled off) for one year In the Interest of the overall hunting picture, then lift the season when need ed regardless of how a few hog hunters howl. H. Shorten season on deer, elk and pheasants by one week. 7. Slop spike killing and set forked horn or better law, ex cept when hunters' choice year In effect. 8. Hunters' choice law every other year, (lie entire big game season (like in some other states', in order to take pressure off the bucks but still enable hunters to harvest does and take home meat. 9. Let the elk herds rebuild for two years then open sea son only every other year, in order to keep elk population up where it should be 10. Allow only Oregon hunters to hunt In Oregon (ex cept every fifth year). 11. Most children under 14 (unless they are serving to help their family) are too emo tional as a whole to hunt deer and should not be allowed to hunt big game because they have a tendency to wound more game than they kill. 12. Make It illegal to have a rifle in a vehicle with shells In either chamber or maga zine, In order cut down road hunting, and accidents. Fail ure to comply would cost heavy fine. Most hunters know whit the situation off the road is like, so if you want something done, form "Hunters.

To the Editor: The Rev. llesbrough. president of Notre Dame, recently informed the MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON National Science Foundation that people had become sec ondary in technical advance. The good Father and his scien tific confreres are evidently not conversant with the why of our demotion. I am one of the few fools that God has joyously recognized and used in this century and this little epistle may confound the wise. Our world is not going to hell 'tis merely that our great scienti-progress is guid ed by the devil. The good man has never in vented anything. He has al ways been satisfied with the things God made. But Satan restlessly roams the world, often seizing on simple minds; transforming temples into awesome labratory. He there fabricates and exploits latent spiritual power into intricate futuristic vision for our tech nical tomorrows. This little "on the spot" expose of the origin of invention may read like scienti-fiction; merely re member true Romance is far more wondrous. Having raped a captive mind and lightly materialized his "miracle," the devil now projects his spirtual pattern into the brain of some waiting restless genius who "invents" it and sells the finished phys ical marvel in the world mart. It is hailed as a forward mark in man's scientific victory! God created the sun, moon and the stars in Heaven, Now our courageous souls seek them physically in dubious vehicles which orglnated in the machinations of the pow ers of darkness. All of which makes us fools invite you to remember the current presi dential joke wherein the re porter asks John F. Kennedy: "When do we put a man on the moon?" "Whenever Goldwater is ready," replies the President. The truthful answer is "Whenever the devil is ready." The Vatican Council recon venes next September, it would be well were the as sembled prelates aided by all our Protestant brethren both present and absent to crusade for a full exorcism of science before our heroic as tronauts venture further in what is actually man's most asinine and dangerous antic since we departed the apes and God gave us soul. William Thomas Cuddy V. A. Domiciliary White City, Ore. Comments To the Editor: Since read ing Mr. Jenny's comments and opinions, I have attempted to summarize them so I can com ment. It happens that I even agree with him occasionally. I have summarized as follows. If I misunderstood, I know you will correct me. 1. He is against "Aginners which sort of makes him one. 2. He believes Scripture, in its context. 3. He feels that the pecu liarities of "Aginners" ought to be examined. 4. He is "Agin" nudism. 5. He is for the U.N. 6. He is for chlorination and fluoridation. 7. He doesn't smoke. 8. He believes all men are brothers. Here, summarized, are my comments on his opinions and a few opinions of my own. 1. Our differences of opin ion, make us all Aginners. 2. Scripture used in context is the greatest gift man has if he will heed it. 3. Since lie is agin agin ners, lie is one and we can be examined together. 4. Since I wouldn't make a very good looking nudist cither, 1 won't tirade for or against it. 5. I'm Agin the U.N. While it has done some good, it has also done immense harm. Just because a rattlesnake is good to its young doesn't recom mend it as a playmate for our children. What harm you say? It has done harm by not hav ing members who are willing to pay their share of its cost. How great is an organiza tion? Like a chain, only as strong as Its weakest link. It has done harm by Its being so ineffectual, about Hungary, about Tibet, about the Congo, where it wages war in viola tion of its own charter; about tioa, about Cuba. 6 I'm for chlorination, agin fluoridation. 7. I don't smoke either. 8. Christ is my creed, all men are my brothers, and I pray for strength to love my neighbor as myself. While do ing this, I do not forget that there are those actively en gaged in enslaving their brothers. Incarcerating them, killing them, not like human beings hut like mad dogs. Their aims are clear, and al ways unchanging, victory at all cost, even the cost of their own lives These arc the peo ple we have to fear, they and their dupes and fellow travel ers.

Thirteen lives were lost in traffic accidents. There were five drownings. One person was killed in a logging aacci dent. As this is written, not enough time has elapsed for a painstaking search of the rec ords, but it is believed that this past week end may have set a new Oregon high mark. THIS question arises: Why so many fatal traf fic accidents on this particular week end which was not a holiday period? It was just an average Friday-night-to-Mon day-morning. This answer occurs: During the past week end, tlie weather was such as to create unusual hazards for drivers. There was much fog. The pavement in many places was frosty. In other places, it was ICY. Frost and ice on the pavement create fearful haz a r d s especially when speeds are too high for safety under such conditions. And The summer is just ending. The winter season is just be ginning.

Time To Begin To the Editor: How wonder ful is God's gift to man, the "Prince of Peace" whose birth we celebrate at this season. From Him we may receive the gift of that unspeakable Peace of Mind and Heart that makes life so worthwhile in spite of earthly woes. Being so. why do we not put more effort into pointing the way to Jesus, so all may know Him and be blessed with His love, peace and guidance? Surely it is evident by now that man has not the wisdom to bring peace to earth. Man has not the wisdom to elimi nate disease from the earth, for though he conquers one, two seem to take its place. Man seems unable to rid the world of any of its many evils. God's Way of Love. Truth and Righteousness is the only way to achieve success. He sent His Son Into the world that we might see with our own eyes the wav to "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ward Men." He told us in the kingdom of God there would be no tears, no pain, no heart aches. He warned us the only way to bring the Kingdom to earth was through Love. Truth and Righteousness. Are we holding up the good life on earth by not walking in Jestis's way ourselves? Since man's way has failed so completely, should we not try God s way? It is a task for each of us, not Just the other fellow. When we all are con cerned about loving our fel low man and exercising Truth and Righteousness. God will help us to have the "Peace on Earth" we all want. Isn't today a good time to begin? Frances Ray Ralston, Wash. a ments. This applies to Den mark, Belgium and Holland, and especially to France where President Charles de Gaulle flatly has refused to meet NATO commitments and is suspected of deliberately weakening the alliance. The United States continues to oppose De Gaulle's indepen dent nuclear program but ap parently has dropped efforts to persuade De Gaulle to abandon it. The U. S. view is that Its own nuclear power is suffi cient to protect the alliance and that a limited striking force such as might eventual ly be built by France is dan gerous and worse than nothing at all. - Believing that placing a nuclear trigger into too many hands simply increases the possibility of war, the United JENKINS But when driving condi tions change, SPEEDS MUST B E REDUCED.

Inc. WHAT A MAN "NEEDS" A student at a Western college, where I was lecturing recently, asked me what was wrong with Marx's form ula for a soci alistic society: "Prnni a a n Vl il according to ability, and to each accord ing to need." W' j What is wrong ' with the Harris Marxian form ula is its economic determin ism: it ignores the psycholog ical aspects of man's life. For instance, what does it mean to say "according to need"? "Need" is not an economic factor; it is a psychological one. Except for the totally de prived, a "need" isn't what we lack-it is what our neigh bors have. There is no end to our "needs" on the psycho logical ladder; anyone whose income has doubled in the last 10 years can testify that his "needs" have grown to absorb the difference. That people should be rewarded on the basis of their utility to society is a thesis I cannot quarrel with: and one of ihe black marks against capitalism is its frivolous system of rewards, in which an indifferent perfume salesman can make more than a good teacher. But allocating an income on the basis of "need" is a will-of-the-wisp. Pursue our needs though we may, we can never gratify all of lherrs for new ones keep arising as we satisfy the old ones. In physical terms, man doesn't "need" much more than a cave, a lire, and a dead animal to eat and skin. Beyond these, all our needs are culturally and psychologically conditioned. The American "needs" a can in the suburbs, he often White House Seeking Broadcast Permission Washington-iin-The White House is seeking permission tor radio and television cover age of President Kennedy's speech Friday night to the Economic Club of New York. The club has a rule against broadcasting its meetings. But press secretary Pierre Salin ger said Tuesday the White House was exploring the pos sibility of broadcasting the speech because of the New York newspaper strike. States nonetheless has offered to help Europe create a nuclear striking force within NATO. But this also meets opposi tion, especially among small nations unwilling to assume the cost. Britain enters the confer ence nursing at least two grievances. One is the belief that De Gaulle primarily is respons ible for her current difficult ies in Brussels negotiations to enter the European Common Market. She also is seething over a recent remark by former U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson that Britain's "at tempt to play a separate pow er role is about played out." Drummond Reports (Walter Llppmann Is In Europe. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington in his absence.) (c) 1962 New York Herald Tribune Inc. TIME FOR INITIATIVE Berlin The fact that Cuba has upset the time-table of Mr. Khrushchev's next move against Berlin does not mean that the danger is lifted or that the Soviets are abandon ing their objective to drive the West out of this divided city. That is not the dividend we have earned from Cuba. The dividend is that the Soviets now know they face determin ed resistance, and we have gained some time in which to be better prepared diplo matically and militarily. Instead of asking ourselves what the Kremlin is likely to do next, the need and the great opportunity is to use the Soviet disarray to create a situation in which the Krem lin will have to be asking what the U.S. is going to do next. The question is how to use the initiative which is now open to us, how to transform what, until Cuba, was almost always a negative, passive pol icy into a positive, forward policy in waging the cold war, MY OWN conviction is that for years we have been far too timid in negotiation, in advocacy, and in action. We must get off our let's-try-to-hold-our-own stance in deal- J. Harris "needs" two cars, although he would do much better to walk. When a man starts his career, his needs are small; as he progresses, his needs increase, not merely because he marries and has children, but because his expectations rise with his income. What seemed a satisfactory apart ment a few years ago now seems a cramped tenement; what seemed a pleasant sum of disposbabie income now seems a pittance. The perspective of money, unlike the perspective of space, decreases as we ap proach it; what looked like a vast sum when we were far from it becomes, on closer in spection, a modest stipend. Entertainers, for example, who rocket from $50 to $5,000 a week have usually found that after a while they "can hardly get along" on their wealth. Because the Marxian ap proach is based on purely economic factors, it has had its greatest (and only) appeal in economically backward na tions, where the people ima gine that a rise in real income will satisfy their "needs": in more developed and sophisti cated lands, it can be seen that what we "need" exists in the mind and passions, not in the things themselves. fy aooilTmU toward men KlPM tyM "It'll be the prettiest one on the block but aren't you afraid tome people will accuse us ol 'appeasement' T" Appear While Acheson spoke unof ficially, his remarks brought a sharp retort from Prima Minister Harold Macmillan. Britain also is disturbed over reports that the United States intends to drop its air-to-ground Skybolt missile pro gram in favor of the 6,000 mile, land-based Minuteman. The British had counted on Skybolt for their own bomb ers. It is probable also that U. S. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara will come under some fire for initial U. S. handling of the Cuban crisis. Some European spokesmen have complained that the American action placed them in nuclear jeopardy without consultation. ing with the Communist press ures on the free world. There are things which can be done, like the following: NEGOTIATION Over Berlin, for example, we are still negotiating wholly on Soviet terms. Moscow propos es that we get out of Berlin and when we say no, Mr. Khrushchev says in effect, "Well, let's be reasonable; you make a proposal about how you should get out of Berlin." Whereupon, we look over a shopping list of Soviet de mands and see what we can accept that will do us the least harm. No one has put this bet ter than President Kennedy when he described the Soviet tactic in those words: "What's Russia's is theirs; what's ours is negotiable." We haven't changed. Let's add our shopping list to the agenda and refuse to discuss any Western concessions with out a Soviet equivalent. Why shouldn't we demand that West Berliners have the right to visit their relatives in the East zone? Why shouldn't the razing of the Berlin wall be on our agenda? Why should we support the end of West ern colonialism everywhere and refrain from demanding the end of Soviet colonialism in East Germany? Some U.S. policy-makers will argue that all this is un relaistic, that such demands can't be seriously advanced because we know they are un acceptable. Unacceptable to whom? To the people of East Germany? No. To the Rus sians? Yes, at present. But that does not keep them from making unacceptable demands upon us. Why should our in terests be negotiable and theirs never? Why allow the Soviets the whole initiative in fixing the agenda of nego tiation just because they claim the right to do so? Let's put our own shopping list on the agenda or stop shopping. ADVOCACY Now that Ilia whole neutral world is feeling the bite of Communist aggression in India and wit nessing it at the Berlin wall, the need today is not to step back but to step up our advo cacy of self-determination for the captive nations in all of Eastern Europe. This is the time to confront the Asian and African members with the full story of Soviet nco-colon-ialism and neo-imperialism in Eastern Europe at the UN and elsewhere and seek their mor al support for its end. Let's see that the truth about Mos cow's colonial hold on Hun gary is put before the UN as sembly so that the truth Is not buried in silence. MILITARY ACTION Mo mentarily the Soviets have called off their attempts to nibble away Western rights in Berlin one bite at a time. They will begin again. The time for writing more protests is past. The need is to meet every in cursion by appropriate force and to reply in kind.
