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.

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. Ana the add-

WHO GETS THE LlOn'S SHARE ?
3f
' 1. .V
In 1953 the Union Oil Company of California did a
$325,103,000 business. 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. . .
Maybe it helped make your job a better one.
