POLICE IN DOUBT
 OF ROBBER BAND

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 3-(UP)- Police today attempted to match fingerprints of the bandits who robbed roadside restaurant man. ager and his bookkeeper of $l,500 late yesterday with those of recent ly released convicts.
 The fingerprints were found on the automobile used by the victims, Paul M. Herbert, 27, manager of the Howard Johnson restaurant, and Mrs. Marian R. Gardner, 32.
 Two masked men confronted the pair as Herbert started his auto- mobile. At least one of the men rested his hands on the side of the car as he reached for the money satchel in the tonneau, The ban dts escaped in stolen automobile driven by a confederate.
 Police doubted that the trio were members of the gang blamed for six holdups totaling S30,000 In New England In the past three weeks.

 Mcdonald thought maybe son1e- thing might have occurred over the oceans to disrupt or dislocate these conditions.
 Perhaps the trade winds blow ing in from the sea were held up in some way" he said.
 With his corps of meteorologists, Mcdonald struck an average of the dry years In selected group of states, Kansas. Missouri Oklahoma and Arkansas, based on the dry years in a selected group of states, Kansas. Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, based on the dry years of 1911, l9l6, 1925, 1926 and 1882.

 So far his studies have resulted more in disappointment"
 However, I'm keeping at 1t be- cause after all science is a matter of trial and error" he asserted. And after all there Is still a large portion of the earth about which we have no weather data.

 The past fortnight at Metro doldwyn-Mayer studio alarms were spread that three noted stars and at least two executives were killed In accidents.

 Composite maps showing the weather tendencies at any point in the seven seas would be used by pilots to chart their routes, McDon- aid said.
 "These maps, or pictures, would Inform the pilot what sort ot weather he most likely would en- counter during flight across the waters" he explained, "The value of such information would be en- hanced by the fact that 1t would be based on data furnished by ma riners during the past 50 years, If anyone Is interested in weather, the sailor certainly is."
 Already such system Is being worked out by the New Orleans tneteorologist. From 6,000,000 sep arate observations turned into the weather bureau at Washington, he has worked out charts. maps, and other data to show the general weather tendencies all over the world.
 Detailed Survey Made
 Through q WPA appropriation, Mcdonald was furnished corps of clerks who have spent the last IS months sorting and filing these millions of reports under their re- spectiVe subjects. With trained me- teorologists he now Is able to in- terpret the various reports in terms of wind direction and velocity, temperature, rainfall and even vis- ihility.
 These interpretations have talk en concrete form in maps which show the averages of different weather phases at any given part of the seas in any month or season.
 Mcdonald cautioned, however, that the value of the reports and maps lay not so much in their use for 0 specific flight as for estab- lishment of permanent routes or series of routes.
 For instance, companies already are preparing for regular trans Atlantic service to Europe" he said. "Through such set of maps as we have, these companies who are planning the oceanic flights for permanent thing can check over past histories of weather condi- tionS and find the general aver ages on the routes they are con- eidering. Then they will know when and where to shift the routes according to seasonal changes"
 Records Cover 50 Years
 NcDonald first conceived the project of exploring the marine data several years ago when he was chief of the marine division in the weather bureau at Wash- ington. Carefully stacked away on shelves were records that for half a century had been sent to Wash- angton-data relating to storms, calms, rains, visibility and wind,
 "These reports were used only to consult when data was wanted re- iating to storms" he said. What l wanted to know was not only that but what had happened on the days when there were no storns."'
 With the advent Of the CWA, Mcdonald petitioned and was gran ted c corps of clerks to sort out the various observations. But with the demise of that New Deal agency the project ended almost before 1t started. Shortly after he was transferred to New Orleans.
 Correspondence with WPA head quarters ct Washington brought re- suits and the bales of the old weather, something the world has needed for a long time," he said. "Already our findings are revolu- tionary and where the whole thing will lead to is hard to say"
 Drouth Information Sought
