Dynamite? This is an old fashioned, an inadequate word. The combination can generate violence comparable to the ex plosion, several times a second, of atomic bombs equal in power to 20,000 tons of TNT. It can, In short, produce a hurricane. Power From Sea A hurricane is the most de structive of all violent weather manifestations. Where does it get its fantastic power? It gets it directly from the sea. Says Robert E. Stevenson of Texas A. & M. college: "These monstrous storms draw from the sea the awesome quantities of energy required to sustain them through their short but violent lives." Stevenson made a study of Hurricane Carla, the big wind of Sept. 3-15, 1961, which whipped the Texas gulf coast with winds up to 175 miles an hour. In places it raised tides of 22 feet. As a result of weather bureau warnings, 500,000 persons were evacuated from the region, and Carla killed only 46 persons a relatively small toll for one of the worst gulf storms of the 20th century. On the weather bureau scale it was a No. 8 huricane which means it destroyed $50 million to $500 million worth of prop erty. Lifted Two Billion Tons Those statistics tell little of Carla's real power. The late Harry Wexlcr, the weather bu reau's distinguished science di rector, estimated that Carla picked up as much as two bil lion tons of water from the ocean in a single day. Subsequently, Wexler calcu lated, Carla dumped 40 billion tons of water upon the Missis sippi valley in the form of tor rential rains. Texas A. & M.'s Stevenson studied Carla's prodigious en ergy from another angle. He calculated the amount of heat the sea, off the Texas coast, had given up to Carlo to drive its fantastic winds. A month after Carla passed inland, Stevenson found, the up per water layers in a large re gion over which the hurricane had moved were still as much as 4V4 degrees cooler than the unaffected deeper layers. Energy Calculated This and other facts gave Stevenson material with which to calculate how much heat en ergy Carla had sucked from the sea. He figured the heat trans fer in the 24-hour period at 60 trillion calories per second. "Expressed in other terms," Stevenson said, "the amount of energy transferred in 24 hours was sufficient to heat 62 mil lion average homes for an en tire heating season (fall-winter-spring) in a climate comparable to that of Washington, D. C." This was just part of the en tire movement of energy from sea to storm, Stevenson said. The total heat transfer, he said, probably was 10 times greater.

(UPD Klamath Falls Air Group to Compete KLAMATH FALLS-Kingsley Field's 322nd Fighter Squadron will be one of 14 top Air Force squadrons from throughout the world competing for three top places in "William Tell" live firing Oct. 7-14. The project is held bi-annually at Tyndall AFB, Florida. Test planes, crew members and electronic intercept efficency and methods are demonstrated. The participating teams rep resent air divisions from throughout the United States, Alaskan Air command, Air Na tional Guard, United States Air Forces in Europe and Pacific Air Forces. The teams using the super sonic interceptors will be flying missions which closely simulate unknown aircraft attack condi tions. Using the Hughes Falcon air-to-air heat and radar hom ing missiles and the Douglas Genie air-to-air rocket, the teams will be firing at the fast Ryan Firebee jet drone target, which is one half the size of the interceptors. Teams will be graded on their ability to shoot down the drone at altitudes of above 50.000 feet, below 50,000 feet and night missions.
