MONDAY. APRIL 12. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 'NINE Gangster Dies In Silence CHICAGO Wl Anthony Pape, true to gangland tradition, -died' Sunday night without divulging who gunned down him and his brother two days earlier. Pape, 40-ycar-old reputed chiel of a 10-mlllion-dollars-a-year dope ring, succumbed to eight gunshot wounds In the head, back and arms. He died without naming the as snliants who apparently were In tho back seat of the automobile in which Pape and his postoffice clerk brother, James, 36, were fatally shot. . Police Saturday said they be- Doctors Pull Pay Strike TEL AVIV, Israel tB Two thousand doctors from Israel's public medical services began 24-nour "warnmp strike" Monday to stress their demand for better pay. Half the doctors struck in Tel Aviv, the rest in other parts of the country. All state and municipal hos pitals and clinics of the workers' sick fund were affected. Skeleton staffs at the hospitals made the usual rounds but all operations except on most urgent cases were postponed and all cal lers sent away. The doctors contend their net income, after taxes and other de ductions, ' now .totals 180 to 370 pounds $505 to $758 per month, or less than the average skilled work er gets. . nicy claim that physicians abroad are paid five to. nine times more man the manual workers. rrime Minister Moshe Sharett denounced the strike as "a grave deviation from the conduct of the meuicai proiession In Israel." lleved Anthony Pape was slain to picveni nun irom making a deal to tell federal authorities about a counierieiting ring tn exchange for tiemency on narcotics charges Anthony faced. But Asst. U.S. Attv. James Pi- ragine said there never was any Indication that the elder Pape was prepared to "squeal." james ftp apparently was an Innocent . victim who was slain only because he was with his brother at the time. Police Lt. John Golden said. James had no police record. Weather Control In PNY Still A Thing Of Future Following Long Research Construction Pay Agreement Reached PORTLAND W Representatives of 14,000 AFL construction workers and employers announced Saturday that for the first time, agreement nas neen reached on a uniform wage rate for construction workers in Southwestern Washington and most of Oregon. The agreement also provided for a 10-cent hourly wage Increase for millwrights, plledrivers and car penters. That raised the hourly scale for millwrights to S2.90, for plledrivers to $2.75, and for carpenters to $2.65. In Oregon only the Klamath Falls area Is excluded from the agreement. . . Jap Boats Said Radioactive TOKYO b Several fishing boats cruising In the area of the Marshal Islands hydrogen bomb tests last month have returned to Japan in the past three days with slight radioactivity. They were not considered endangered. " Some of the ships reported they were as far as 1,000 to 1,500 miles from the blast site. Japanese scientists speculate that water currents are carrying the radioactivity to the boats. By ED JOHNSON , SEATTLE Uh It's still a little' early to know the results of the Weather Bureau's rainmaning ex periments In the Pacific North west, but weatnerman rerguson Hall says lt seems unlikely that there'll be any large scale control of the weather by man at least not in the foreseeable future. For one thing, we Just don't know enough about the weather's varied and peculiar actions. And with what we do know, Hnll says, control of tho weather and raln maklntr oocrations on any sort of broad, worthwhile scale just does not seem practical. But wldcsnrcad studies are con tinuing throughout the world, and perhaps some day we'll at least know more about what to expect even if we can't do much about it. . . ' ' oil nf these studies Is the TJ.S. Weather Bureau's Artificial Cloud Nucleation project at Sana roini Naval Air Station nere. mis piu met under the direction of Hall lias been under way since March 1953. . " Hall and his staff have made merits In soeclally equipped, multl-.eng.ined planes,, loaned .by thi Nnw. dronmmr dry ice pel let. Into clouds over about 800 square miles of Western Washing ton state, i Tt. Inn? has been known. Hall explains, that dropping dry ice pellets into supercooled clouds would produce myriads of tiny ice crystals, and that these crystals soon grow large enough to begin falling as snow. If conditions are Tight, this pre cipltation will reach the ground without evaporating, perhaps iii- creasing the snow or rainfall over what would have fallen normally. The bureau's idea In setting up the project was to carry out some thing like a medical experiment where one group of patients is given treatment and another is not. The untreated group Is used a "control," permitting better scientific judgment of the results on the treated group in this case supercooled clouds.. The rainy Pacific North west was chosen because the bu reau wanted to know not only what happens under treatment, but wnat would have happened had there been no treatment at all. Assisting Hall's ACN staff, in addition to the Navy, have been me Army signal corps and Na tional Advisory Committee lor Aeronautics. Special instruments were Installed in the planes, in cluding radar. In addition, Hall gets reports from about a hundred rain gauge stations scattered throughout Western Washington, as far south as Portland, Ore. Ground radar also, is used to- watch storms Most of ACN's cloud seeding operations were conducted last fall and winter. Hall says no . seeding was done during flood danger per iods, nor during the fruit harvest ing season east of the Cascade Mountains, ' He also points out that lilsi planes weren't seeding clouds dur ing the heavy rainfall periods of the last few months. Hall explains that it's going to take some time to reach any con clusions from the project. Thou sands of reports must be analyzed first. , But he does say this: "As a result of our experience thus far, we can say that on cer tain occasions we nave found fair ly thick layers of supercooled clouds which should nave respond' ed to our seeding. On other occasions we nave found that nature had produced so many natural ice crystals that there was little, If any, super cooled cloud available. In the latter situation lt Is doubtful that we would be able to make much of an effect. In the former cases we should expect to obtain results, providing these clouds would not have precipitated by uiemseives had we left them alone. Our analysis will be so de signed as to credit us only with that rain which would not have fallen within a period of an hour or so of its own accord. What of "weather control" by man, or ralnmaking on a scale that would prove broadly benefic ial to agriculture, to drouth areas, or for flood control? Well, Hall Just can't see that weather control" as such on any kind of worthwhile scale will work out with presently known facilities and knowledge of the subject. For one thing, he says the cost of seeding would be prohibitive, except in small scale local, sit uations where conditions would have to be ideal. Hall explains that it would take about 16 multi engined, all-weather planes to seed 300.000 pounds of dry ice over a 100-mue square, . In addition, ' cloj'd conditions over a given area at a given time may not be right to produce any ram at all. only nature has the power to put these clouds in any given area at any certain time. Hall thinks that studies should continue, however. He thinks lt would be good if they were ex panded to universities and other accredited institutions. But whether or not Hall's ACN project, along with other expert ments, will put the finger on the exact value ol ralnmaking, at least we'll have gained a greater knowledge of its possibilities and of the weather Itself.

That's big money. Who gets the lion's share of it? The employees ? in wages and other benefits, 9,263 Union Oil employees earned $55,564,000. The average per employee: $5,998. The tax collector ? He did all right,, too. Federal and other taxes took $21,821,000. (This does not include $55,239,000 additional in fuel taxes which we.collecled for the government) The stockholders ? No, the stockholders did not get the lion's share. They were paid $11,690,000 for the use of their money, plus a dividend of one Bhare of common stock for each ten shares of common held. This was divided among more than 40,000 people. Well, who did get the lion'a share ? After we replenished working capital by. $20,088,000 (over and above the $55,564,000 paid employees, the $21,821,000 that went to the tax collector and the . $11,690,000 to stockholders), the lion's share or $215,940,000 was divided among more than ten thou sand companies and individuals we Idb business with.'' ' Some went for services. Some for materials. Some for wages. ' ! But all of the lion's share of Union OiTs 1953 gross income was reinvested in the American economy. . .
