SEATTLE, Dec. 24 AP
Tho arm y's 2nd Interceptor
commund loduy issued a me
morandum clarifying the reas
ons for tho ban on certain
weather duta, with tho state
ment Hud storm warning
which might savo Uvea and
property will be permitted, but
other forecast which might aid
the enemy will be prohibited.
"We know that an enemy la
opcrutlng off the count," ihu
alatement added. "Ho la In poa
aussion of certain weather In
formation, of course, but he la
out In tho same weather which
will reach us Inter.
"Tho enemy, In planning an
attack, I In desperate need of
confirmation from shore as to
whether his calculations arc
correct. Willi the Information
ho has, every little fact he can
pick up from us is invaluable
and may furnish the clue he
needs as to the beat dny and
hour for the attack. Even a
light remurk uboul 'how hard
It rained hero this afternoon,'
may be the tip-off on how fnxt
the weather 'front' has ad
vanced. 'Therefore radio stations
have been ordered to uso noth
ing on weather except tempera
ture (to worn against freerc
damage and Iry roads) and one
or two other Items. The enemy
mny have ways of getting this
Information to ships off shore,
but at least let's not broadcn.it
It to him.
"Storm warning will bo
flown, without Indicating the
wind direction, nnd will be re
leased to newspaper nnd to
radio station for broadcast In
emergencies, a a protection to
life and property.
"The weather bureau I co
operating in every wuy possible
with restrictions required by
military ugencies. The items
quoted below arc Intended to
cover the urea in Washington
and Oregon west of the 120th
Mcrldliiu (which is Just cast of
Yukimu, Ellensburg und Wen
utchee, Wash, and Heppner,
Condon and Lukcvicw, Ore.)
"1. Temperature will be fore
cast for periods not exceeding
20 hours and may be published
but not broadcast by radio.
"2. Sky and precipitation
elements will not bo forecast.
"3. Special warnings, includ
ing storm, flood, cold wuves
und livestock conditions will be
forecast and published In modi
fied form.
'However, these special
warnings will be broadcast by
radio only after each such
warning has been submitted to
tlio 2nd Interceptor command.
These spcciul warning will
continue to be distributed by
telephone or telegraph to per
sons interested or agencies
which may have been previ
ously approved by the inter
ceptor command.
"4 Precipitation nnd wind
data, both local and for the
area west of the 12()lh Merid
ian, will neither be published,
nor broadcast by radio until
such data are at least one week
old.
"5. Went her maps have been
discontinued for the duration
of the emergency. However,
limited weather bulletins con
taining mostly temperature
data will be substituted for the
former weather maps.
"These are only a few of the
restrictions in effect pertaining
lo the distribution of weather
information. With military an-
IT
proval and within certain limi
tatlons, special forecasts will be
prepored for responsible offic
ials of public utility concerns
city, state and federal agencies
Also, private concerns known
to be under contract to produce
material for defense when
weather is a factor in produc
tion, will be given forecasts if
such forecasts are approved by
the 2nd interceptor commond."

mas present today when the

ployment taxes on their payrolls
during the next year.
The commission said that its
reserve fund probably will re
main above the $14,373,000 mark
during the entire year, which
means that the payroll tax rate

If the fund falls below that,
mark, the rates will be from 1 to'
4 per cent.
January tax payments prob
ably will boost the fund to $18,
