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. When at 17,
he entered Stanford University
in 19 1. Hoover worked his
way through college doing odd
jobs around the campus.

Faster, More Accurate
Yeather Forecasts Seen
(Modern science refuses to ac-i
cept that "you can't do anything
about the weather." 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.

Carney, Geoson Pa, Has
Difficult Summer Decision
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK (AP) Art Carney,
a fine actor who loves his profes
sion and a responsible suburban
householder who loves his wife
and three children, had a diffi
cult decision to make this sum
mer. 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."

LONDON (AP) Mrs. Nurl
Said. 65-year-old widow of the
murdered Premier of Iraq, is liv
ing in a London apartment nearly
destitute and unaware her hus
band is dead, the Daily Mail re
ported today.
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.
A few days ago, the report
said, "a friend who heard of the

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.
