HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13. 1953 PAGE 2 A Tina Louise Keeps Figure Whistlable Weight Lifting By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Tina Louise, one of the most whistl able figures to grace the movie scene in many moons, does it by lifting weights. Tina argues that you have to give nature some help. And that means working up a sweat. But is it ladylike to sweat? "Oh, I do it in the gym, where there are no men around," she replied. "You've got to sweat or it just doesn't feel right." Her formula: a workout a day keeps the bulges away. Also ner vous tensions and all that jazz. "I'm a new woman since I discovered exercise," Tina said, though I'm sure there was noth ing awry about the old one (she's 24). "I try to get to the gym every day. If I can't, I do some exercises with bar bells in my dressing room. "I don't believe in those ma chines that do the exercise for you. I think you have to do the work for yourself, both to get the most out of it and to feel good about it. "I concentrate mostly on exer- cises from the waist down, since that is the laziest part of a wom an's body. Leg pushups (pushing up suspended weights), deep knee bends, things like that. But doesn't she face the danger of developing unsightly muscles? "No, silly," she chided, "wom en don t get muscles. We re not built that way. (no comment.) Broadway patrons found noth- 1 lng wanting in Tina's shape when he played the sexpot Appassiona- la von Climax in Li I Anner. Yet that was before she discov ered exercises. I could have done a much bet ter job in the show if I had worked out." she declared. "Some nights I went onstage practically shaking from nervousness. I was a wreck. But now that I exercise I lose all that tension. There is no better feeling than after you've had a good workout. The man who, as 31st presi dent of the United States, re fused to accept a salary, Her bert Clark Hoover, had only a few hundred dollars, from his parents' estates.

This is the first of two dispatches telling what science Is doing about It now and -expects to do in the future.) By LOUIS CASSEI.S WASHINGTON (UPD- Science is rapidly replacing guesswork in the tricky business of weather forecasting. A long-overdue technological rev olution is arming the weatherman with new instruments that are far superior to the crude tools at his disposal for the past century. These instruments are already making it possible for him to bring you faster, more detailed and more reliable forecasts, especially of serious storms. Ahead lies fully automatic weather forecasting in which data gathered by hundreds of un manned robot stations will be fed into a giant electronic brain cap able of turning out a fresh weath er map every hour. And not too far in the future is the tantalizing prospect of exert ing some human control over the weather. The radical changes taking place In the ancient art of foretelling the weather are demonstrated by an instrument called the hygro meter, which is used to measure the moisture content of the air. For more than 100 years, the standard hygrometer was built around a strand of blonde hair from a woman's head. As every woman knows, hair stretches in damp air. By calibrating the stretch of a given strand of hair, weathermen were able to make an approximate measurement of hu midity. But the hair hygrometer was not a very rugged or reliable instrument. Today's hygrometer developed in the past four years, measures the moisture in the air by determining how much absorption a ray of in fra red light sustains in passing from a projector to a photoelectric cell. It is extremely accurate un der all conditions, including low temperatures in which hair hygro meters are virtually worthless. Another example is the new Dop- pler radar equipment which can see a tornado tunnel 70 miles away. The first set was placed in service this year at Wichita Falls, Texas. When a twister bore down on that city April 2, the Doppler Man Not Hurt By Lightning TfTUSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - A thunderstorm that struck as 81- year-old John E. Williams dozed in a chair at his home gave him a rude and rough awakening. A lightning bolt which Williams said sounded like a ton of dyna mite" struck nearby about 5 p.m Boards from the ceiling fell on him. A newspaper he was holding in hi hand caught fire. Williams stuffed the newspaper into a stove and climbed out of the house through a window. A son who lives nearby helped fight a fire that broke out in the lean-to kitchen that had collapsed in ruins. The house was wrecked by the bolt. Williams said he wasn t hurt. radar gave enough advance warn ing for most residents to find safe shelter. Although 200 buildings were demolished "only one person was killed. With a different kind of radar set, weather stations can detect rain or snow falling at any point within an area of 200,000 square miles. They can take time-exposure photographs of the precipita tion blips on the radar screen, measure their intensity with a device called a "densiometer" and calculate how much rain fell on a given area. The "instrument" which this technique will replace, when the new quipment is generally avail able, is a tin bucket with inch marks on its side. The trouble with all of these new gadgets is that they cost a lot of money, and the Weather Bureau hasn't been able to buy very many of them so far. But the advent of jet-propelled air travel may change that situation. President Eisenhower's top- level Air Coordinating Committee is now working on a billion-dollar plan for modernizing the nation's airways for the jet age. And as part of that plan, it recently approved a five-year, 100 million dollar automation program for the Weather Bureau. If President Eisenhower for wards this proposal to Congress and if Congress approves it here's the way weather forecastr ing will be done in the 1960 s: Hundreds of fully automatic weather stations will be set up in all parts of the country. Each will be equipped with instruments which continually measure and record such variables as temperature, humidity, rainfall, windspeed and direction, visibility, barometric pressure, lightning strokes, etc. At regular intervals, each station will transmit its data in code on a teletypewriter circuit linking all of the stations to a central Weather Forecasting office in Washington. At the central office, the coded data will be fed into an electronic brain which will translate it into detailed weather maps. The new system will have two great advantages. It will be much faster, capable of producing a new forecast every hour in stead of every six hours as at pres ent. It will also save manpower. It now takes five men to staff a full-time weather station. With the routine measuring and reporting jobs automated, the weather bu reau can set up many additional stations, which it badly needs, and can save skilled human meterolo- gists for the one job which they alone can perform reading and interpreting the weather maps. Automatic forecasting is by no means the end of the line. If Con gress wants to put up the money and it will take quite a lot weather stations can be operating in space within 10 years. Weather scientists envision a fleet of about 12 earth satellite ve hicles equipped with television cameras. From their vantage point in space, they could transmit to earth invaluable data on cloud formations and large weather movements in both hemispheres and from pole to pole. Instead of laboriously reconstructing weather maps from a series of "point ob servations" on the g r 0 u n d, me teorologists could see an actual picture of the world's weather. Then they could throw away those Ouija boards. German Catholics Gather In Berlin BERLIN AP) About 100.000 German Catholics from both sides of the Iron Curtain gathered today in Berlin for the 78th Catholic Day meeting.

His good friend and happy working companion, Jackie Glea son, asked Carney to come back with him on a regular basis when Gleason launches his new CBS-TV show this fall. After much meditation Carney regretfully turned down Glea son's offer because he wished to take the financially more hazard ous course of being a free-lancer, free to take acting assignments he liked and to tut at a variety of roles. The first result of his decision is that he will appear on televi sion next month in one of the most delightful roles (In our opin ion) to come from the American theater in recent years. On Sept. 22 he will play the role of Elwood P. Dowd in show of the Month (CBS-TV) adaptation of Mary ChaSe's comedy "Harvey." Numerous television viewers Press Service Releases Costs Of War Coverage think of Carney chiefly in terms of the roles he played with Glea son, particularly as Norton in "The Honeymooners" which, by the way, still is rerunning strong on many stations throughout the country. Last season when Glea son was off the air, Carney dem onstrated his versatility as an ac tor in several TV shows and on Broadway in "The Rope Walk ers." While his neighbors in Yonkers, N. Y., are far from having to take up a collection to' support Carney (who recently bought a summer home on the Connecticut shore), it takes a kind of cour age for an actor to turn down weekly employment in television this coming season. But Carney, innately as modest as Elwood P. Dowd. refuses to dramatize his personal life and froth about things like courage. He simply says this of his deci sion: "I'm not appearing on a regular basis with Gleason in the coming season. It's the sort of de cision I hope and I believe that Gleason understands. If I signed on a regular basis, I'd be tin) down, and I want to be free to do guest appearances." PRINTED PATTERN I'M CRITICAL APPRAISAL NEW YORK MV-In a new book let on U.S. evangelism, being dis tributed by World Council of Churches, the Rev. Dr. George Sweazey, a Presbyterian pastor, says: "If church joining in Amer ica becomes 'the thing to do.' if it happens too easily and too fast, the church might be turned over to those whose religious experience has not much more significance than the firehose baptisms of that gaudy cultist, 'Sweet Daddy Grace.

With her are the widow and chil dren of her son Sabah, another victim of the Juiy 14 revolution in Iraq. The .Mail gave this account: Sabah's widow knows the fate of her husband and father-in-law but no one so far has had the courage to tell Mrs. Nuri Said. She knows there has been a revolution in Iraq, but since she does not read or speak English, she has not learned about her husband and their son. Her fears are growing, however. Nuri left the family in London 10 davs before the revolt, saying he would return in two weeks. Almost the only money he left was a year's rent for the apartment in which they are living.

The second was written after some 20 neighborhood children opened a door of the ice cream truck and helped themselves. Editors Note: This dispatch was requested by a United Press International client. This editor. following day-to-day developments m the Middle Last crisis, became intrigued with UPI Correspondent Dan Gilmore's taxicab ride across the 'desert, the flow of UPI cor respondents into the crisis area and the wordage required to re port events. He wanted to know something about costs. LONDON (UPI) The cost of' covering war and crisis is an ex pensive business today. A 600-mile taxi ride across the desert. . .a chartered airplane ride . .telephone calls at S3. 40 a min ute. . .$100 "urgent 1 press" rate cables . . . they all add up. These were some of the items involved in covering the Middle East flareup in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Immediately after the Iraqi rev olution July 14. Daniel F. Gil more, United Press International Rome manager, and Dieter Hespe, UPI photographer normal ly based in Frankfurt, were or dered from Beirut to Baghdad. The problem was: How to get there? There was no Beirut-Bagh dad air, rail or ship service. They hailed a taxi. The cabbie itook them from Bel- rut to the Lebanese-Syrian border and then quit. They hitched a ride on a potato truck to Damascus, In the Syrian capital they found another cabbie who was willing to risk the ride over the desert where the only roads are cow paths and the bleached bones of animals remind one of the price of failure. The cabbie demanded and got $100 each. The correspondents bought wa ter jugs, filled them with lemon ade and started out. But the time they reached Baghdad, the 620- frnile trip from Beirut had cost the two UPI men a total of $272. Then there was the problem of getting the story and pictures of the revolt out of Baghdad un- censored. Routine dispatches were filed under strict censorship and were delayed from 24 to 36 hours. While Gilmore worked for two days reconstructing the story of the revolution and Hespe took and bought pictures, UPI correspond ents Anthony J. Cavendish and Larry Collins were working to help them back in Beirut. They chartered a private air plane to make a single trip to Baghdad and back. The cost in cluding liberal "gifts." ran to $2,350, but because other news men went along the UPI share was $850. The "UPI special" returned to Beirut the same day carrying Gil more's uncensored dispatches and Hespe's first pictures. But the telegraph circuits be tween Beirut and London, the main relay point for news bound for the United States, were jammed with stories about the Lebanese insurrection. So in the interests of speed, Gil more's dispatches and Hespe's pictures were air freighted to Rome on the first available com mercial air liner. From Rome, the news stories were sent to London over the UPI European teletype network and from London by radio teletype to New York at 60 words a minute. Hespe's pictures were radioed from Rome to London and New York. Thus, from the time Gilmore left Rome and Hespe left Frank furt until their stories and pic tures moved on wires in the Unit ed States, it had cost $764 for their transportation, (850 for the plane charter, $9 for air freight charges, $54 .30 to radio one pic ture to New York and London and $123 for five days at hotel rooms i. That brought the total to $1,800.30 not counting their sal aries, incidental expenses and special insurance taken out by UPI. , Few news stories have equalled the Lebanese insurrection in terms of proportionate cost to news agencies. A 5O0-word dispatcn irom Beirut to London at the regular "press" rate cost $357 cents a word. But after the U.S. Marines land ed in Beirut July 15, the flood of correspondents in and the flow of copy out became so great that telegraphic services between Bei rut and the outside word began to bog down. Reporters, who cannot wait up to 10 hours for their copy to be delivered, began to use "urgent press rate at just under 20 cents a word. - When urgent press began tak ing several hour for delivery, they resorted to the telephone at $3.40 a minute to London. Connections frequently were so bad it could and did take 20 min utes $68 or more to dictate a 500-word dispatch. Afld UPI cor respondents in Beirut have as many as a dozen dispatches a day. Correspondents in Beirut afo called Paris, Rome, Zurich, Frankfurt and New York trying to clear communications dilficulties. Sometimes it took calls to three points to clear a single message.
