WEATHER BUREAU
PLANS EXPANSION
Demand for Forecasts by
Aviators Brings About Need
for Reorganization.

The progress of aviation and the re.
sulting demand for frequent and spe.
cialized forecasts of flying weather con-
ditions has resulted in formulation Of
plans for reorganization of the system
of handling weather reports and fore
casts by the Weather Bureau, accord
ing to the annual report of its chief
DR.. C. F. Marvin. made public today.
In the near future, DR.. Marvin said
the Weather Bureau will begin issuing
four daily forecasts instead of the pres
ent two a day, with daily observations
at / and am. and / and pm. at
meteorological stations all over the world
as the basis for the forecasts. At present
daily observations are taken at am
and s pm.
More Stations Required.
"Since 1926" Dr. Marvin reported,
funds have been included in the regu-
lar appropriations of the department
for assigning and maintaining on duty
at every important airport one or more
skilled meteorologists. whose duties re-
0uire them to receive from the central
organization of the Weather Bureau the
fullest possible advices, reports, obser-
vations. etc, including forecasts and
warnings, and to pass these on to
pilots of airplanes at the time of and
in accordance with the flight immod-
lately in contemplation.
THE basis of advices and warnings
to pilots is necessarily derived from the
great network of meteorological stations
that has been built up by the Weather
Bureau throughout the past years. In
some cases these stations are rather
widely distributed Moreover, obServa-
tions are made regularly only at am.
and pm.
For the needs of aeronautics, more
intensive and special stations are re-
CURED, especially in certain regions. To
make provisions for this. 1877 ground
stations have been established at fire.
quent intervals all along the airways
set up by the Department of Commerce,
and the whole machinery of operation
is gradually being improved to make
the service more and more effective"
In no other field Dr. Marvin stated,
has the demand for meteorological re-
ports been more pressing than in con-
nection with transoceanic flights.
Agreements are under way with the
great maritime nations for better or
organization of ocean meteorological OBJ
ServationS by the selection of certain
number of ships of each nationality
which shall uniformly make and dis
tribute radio observations twice or four
times a day while on the high seas, DR..
Marvin explained.
International Service Needed.
''The highest efficiency and accuracy
in formulating weather forecasts and
warnings" he continued, lis only at
tainable when the meteorologist has be-
fore him complete picture of the
weather conditions over the whole sur
face of the globe, or at least over the
whole surface of the Northern or
Southern Hemisphere. The develop
ment of an international meteorological
oceanic service along these lines is per-
haps the most urgent technical problem
concerning meteorology at the present
time"

from the University of Cincin-

 doned his vocation in the nineties
 to enter the public utilities field.
 He was comptroller of the cur

 in 1902.
 When the United States entered the world war he went as lieu
 tenant colonel of railroad engi-

 general in the service of supplies. Harding, in 1921, named him di- rector of the bureau of the budget,
 but he came to greater fame for his activities as head of the com mittee of experts of the repara- tions commission and his part in framing the Dawes plan of Ger

 Dawes was nominated for vice. president of the United States at the Republican national conven- tion in 1924.

The latter is the same frequency used by the airship in communi- eating with the mother ship, the ice-breaking City of Milan.
 During the first 15 minutes of every hour the Italia will keep watch for frequencies between 300 and 199 kilocycles. From the sixteenth to the forty-fifth minute of every hour she will keep watch for transmissions on frequencies below 199 kilocycles.

Van Nance Tells About Expenditures -$38,O ,OOO

NEW YORK. May 10.-Gov. Alfred E. Smith testified before the special Senate campaign funds committee that he had spent no money and made no eff fort of any kind to further his campaign for the Presidency. He said:
 "I haven't done a single thing about this campaign. l promised the people Of New York when l was inaugurated not to go out of the State but to give my time to State affairs, and, believe me, it takes every minute of my time"
 Gov. Smith said that he knew of one organization working out side of New York for his nom- ination and that George Van Nance, Public Service Commis- sioner for the State of New York, is in charge of that.
 Gov. Smith answered all ques- tions freely and frankly. He said that he had made no per sonal effort to obtain the nom- ination, had made no promises of patronage or policies, and con- tributed none of his own funds ! to organizations formed in be- l half of his candidacy.
 Committee Has Spent $92,000 Commissioner Van Nance, tes- 1 tifying before the committee, said that the New York organi- zation had received $103,310 to aid in the campaign for the nomination for Gov. Smith. Of this amount, he said, $92, 00O had been expended.
 Particularizing, MT. V a n Nance said that William Kenny, New York paving contractor, had put up 0,000-of which $20,- 900 was an outright gift and $5O,OOO in loans which are yet to be paid back.
 He said the heaviest expendi- lures had been in California where $41,500 had been sent into the State and $3,500 re- 1 turned as unused.
 Van Nance said that no money had been spent in the Southern or Border States. but that $7,00O had been sent into the Far West for use of the organizations in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

ICEBERCS SHATTERED
 WITH MOLTEN STEEL

NEW YORK, May 10-White- hot steel can split icebergs into harmless fragments and break up huge ice jams along the North At lantic steamer route, says Howard T. Barnes, professor of physics in McGill University, Montreal. in a research report to the Engineer ing Foundation.
 Since 1893. Professor Barnes has been making scientific investi- gations of the physical properties of ice and practical methods of controlling it. The energy from molten steel, he shows, supplies rays that equal or snrpass those of the sun in power to penetrate ice.

CHICAGO, May 10-As far as the woman proprietor of the Mari etta, O., store was concerned, the smallish looking man with the .curiously shaped pipe might have been a school boy after a pencil.
 The visitor made his purchase and asked that the articles be de- livered He gave his name and address.
 "I was reared here" ne said. The woman regarded him with an unhopeful eye.
 My father was General Dawes. Sometimes they call me General Dawes"
 "Yeah?" said the woman.
 "As a matter of fact" said the man, puffing a little harder on his peculiar pipe and his eyes kindling with quiet mirth, q happen also to be vice president of the United States"
 "Yeah?" said the woman. "Al- bert"-to the delivery boy, let me see that bill again"
 Charles Gates Dawes relishes that story, and his friends say il shows a side of his character of which the public knows little. Despite denials that he is a candidate Vice President Dawes is mentioned among possible Repub lican presidential nominees, and in his native state of Ohio, he has been declared second choice of several delegates pledged to the late Senator F. B. Willis. The same Dawes who argued placidly with the Marietta store keeper is the Dawes who swept a stormy path through the world war, who boomed Hell and Ma rial" at a congressional war in vestigating committee and who sent the senate into a tumult oi wounded pride with his harsh words, delivered harshly, about what he considered lettering rules There are two facets of his character that stand out most strongly.
 He asserts that Right is right, . and when he makes the state ment it is not as an epigram, but course of life.
 He has a fetish against any pro cedure that smacks of being fet tered by worn out customs. As soon as he gets his bearings in a position, public or private what he considers red tape short ly is ribboning behind his spare frame in split streamers. Dawes was educated for the law. He was born at Marietta in 1865 and obtained a law degree
