HURRICANES MOVE
FORWARD SLOWLY
HiQh Wind Not Indicative of
Speed, Says Norfolk
MeteoroIogist.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS
NORFOLK, Va, September AL
though a hurricane may be blowing at
a oO-mile-an-hour clip it may be
moving progressively at rate not more
than 10 miles an hour, says Don R.
Dobbins, assistant meteorologist at the
Norfolk Weather Bureau.
Describing the nature and caprices
of tropical hurricanes such as the one
that swept the Atlantic seaboard re-
Gently with severe damage to the Vir-
ginia coast, Mr. Dobbins said:
THE hurricane may be likened to a
top which spins rapidly but changes
position slowly If it is said that a
hurricane is 600 miles distant with
winds exceeding 100 miles per hour,
some persons assume that the storm
will travel the distance in less than
six hours. This is not true. While
winds exceeding 100 miles an hour may
prevail around the center. the progress
sive movement may not exceed 10 miles
an hour, at which rate it would re-
quire 60 hours to travel distance OF
600 miles"
The tropical hurricane is described by
the meteorologist as a vast whirlWind,
more or less circular in form" The
hurricane, he continued, is character
lied by relatively light winds on its
outer boundaries but increasing in vio-
lence toward the center. Around the
center the winds move in direction
opposite to the hands Of a clock SO that
the observer. facing the storm center,
feels the wind blow from his left to h-
right. In many full developed hurri-

canes there is a calm center called the
eye of the storm in which there are
light, fitful winds. The diameter Of
this calm area may be from to 20
miles. Immediately surrounding this
relatively calm center are located the
most violent winds of the hurricane"
Mr.. Dobbins continued to say that when
the calm center or "eye" of a storm
passes over a place 1.-The calm is pre-
ceded by winds of great violence from
one direction and followed by winds
nearly equally violent from the opposite
direction.
Wind Direction Changes.
THUS, if the hurricane approaches
from the east, the wind blows first from.
a northerly direction and, after the
passage of the calm center. violent
winds come from southerly direction.
This gives rise to the belief that the
storm came back whereas it was only
the opposite side of the whirl
Ignorance of the calm center char
acteristics has resulted in death o.
injury to many people because. believ-
ing the storm to be over. they leave
places of protection and thus expose
themselves to violent winds which be-
gin abruptly after the calm center
passes"
Commenting on the marked rises In
tides as an accompaniment to winds
of hurricane force. the meteorologlst
said that hurricanes have caused FAR
more deaths from drowning than from
flying debris and wrecked buildings.

Under the present police "rogue's gal

of those persons arrested in connection
with felonies. Very often. however,
murders. hold-ups and other major
crimes are solved through Identification
Of photographs Of their perpetrators
Obviously, the more pictures the police
have, the greater their chances Of clear
ing up criminal cases.

Under the plan being studied, 1t was

MEDALE ACCUSED
IN RACKET PROBE
New York Prosecutor Made
Political Use of Hearing,
Says Col. Hutchinson.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September Col.
Franklin s. Hutchinson, chief Of In
vestigation for the Senate Subcommit-
tee on Racketeering. issued formal
statement today charging that United
States Attorney George z. Medalie
made political use of the committees
recent open hearing.
Hutchinson charged that Medaie
has evidently not backed up" his as
sertions before the committee to the
effect that he knew four Tammany
Democratic district leaders who were
allied with racketeers. Medahe is .
Republican.
"The inference I draw from the fact
that on two or three occasions Mr..
Medalie failed to supply a complete
statement and before the Senate hear
ing failed to substantiate his charges
Is that he made use Of the hearing for
political purposes" Hutchinson's state
ment said.
Called by Grand Jury.
Medalie's charges caused the New
York County grand jury. acting inde-
pendently Of the district attorney, to
summon him. Following his testimony
the jury handed up a presentment rec
ommending that the State attorney
general conduct a vigorous investiga-
tion under a new law which gives him
broad powers.
Spurred by reports that racketeers
and politicians have been working to-
gether in New York City. Attorney
General John J. Bennett, jr.. last night
planned swift legal moves He re-
vealed that under the broad powers
granted him by the last Legislature he
was setting up a special bureau to act
on ANY and all" complaints of rack
eteering and restraint of trade and to
out that the district attorneys of New
York and other counties are still re-
sponsible for the enforcement Of GRIM
inal laws.
1t was indicated at the attorney gen.
erals office that he will carry on his
own inquiry along broad general lines
without accepting the particular recon-
mendations of the grand jury. That
body said no evidence has been SUBJ
mitted to this grand jury which would
warrant any action by it," but sug-
gested Bennett take over the investiga-
ton under his new authority.
Lehman Declines Comment.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. who asked
the Legislature to give the attorney
general his new powers because inter
ference with legitimate business by pro-
fessional gang elements has grown tc
such proportions that drastic measures
are needed" declined to comment or
the New York City developments which
followed upon the Legislatures approval
Of his suggestions.
Two years ago Bennett and his aides
drove Jack Legs" Diamond and his
gang from the fortress they had estab-
lished in the Catskill Mountains and
sent several of the Diamond gangster,
ITO prison. They did not succeed ir
getting conviction against Legs
himself, but he was assassinated BY
unidentified gunner a few hours after
he was acquitted for second time.

nance almost as spectacular as the
Glass A finals occurred when the
Nogales Transfer Yellowjackets
measured the Tucson Astecas for a
Ga victory to annex the South
ern Arizona Glass B championship.
In the first round of the tourna-
ment the Transformer defeated the
Curry Park Tigers 6 to 0. In the
Glass 3 finals which provided the
spectators with much more evenly
matched battles, the Aztecas burst
forth with battling fireworks in the
last inning loading the bases and
threatening to overcome the two
run Yellowjacket lead, but the No
galians succeeded in smothering the
rally. Methodical defensive play
was the keynote of the Yellow
Jackets display of superiority over
the locals. The Nogalians' victory
sent the City Managers Cup, en-
b!enantic Of Class B baseball su-
premacy, to the Border City for the
first time. The trophy, presented by
r. Z. Butler, city manager OF Tue
son, was awarded to the Yellow
Jackets at the baseball tournament

finished strong to come from be-
hind and enter the finals by de-
feating the All-Stars. 7 to 4.
In the second game the Yellow
jackets upset the c. G. G. nine with

swamped their opponents under the
