- or possibly by all three. says Commander
Reichelderfer 1--WE would not wait until the
attacking forces made landing. We would
attempt to intercept and destroy them before
they could gain foothold Accurate weather
reports would be indispensable for the quick
maneuver of aircraft, possibly from one side
of the continent to the other If particular
route were fog blocked, an alternate would
have to be found. We should have to know
where weather conditions made sufficient
landing fields available. For land-transported
forces, we could take no chances with routes
where they might be blocked or delayed by

Accordingly, Commander Reichelderfer,
with the military precision that is natural to
him, is moving to make the Weather Bureau
an alert and fully equipped arm of the ma
tons defense forces. 1t still carries on it's
primary civil functions, of course, but no
longer is it considered mostly oonven-
fence for farmers. A few months ago it was
transferred from the Department of Agricul-
ture to the Department of Commerce. That
was partly in recognition of its growing i'm
portance to commercial aviation, fact that

has had much to do with the widening cover
age and modernization of the bureau. But
now, with the defense program calling for
even more widespread activities and up-to-
date equipment, the bureau has been given
substantially increased appropriation, and is
expanding its services as never before.
The old brick house in Washington that for
two generations or more has housed the bu-
reau, today echoes the din of steam shovels
and concrete mixers, preparing the way for
new, modern building. But the building will
be only the symbol of the new progressiveness
of the bureau. At the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology, for instance. Weather
Bureau men are cooperating in experiments
in long-range forecasting - something that
would have been scoffed at in the bureau a
few years ago.
Meantime, every possible step is being
taken to perfect our facilities for the day-by-
day forecasts that are the bureaus principal
function at present. At many points all over
the country new weather stations are being
spotted. Already, as result of the growth of
commercial aviation, the airports of the coun-
try provide great network lof upper-air
sampling stations, supplementing the regular
divisional observation stations of the general
weather service. But both on the regular air
plane routes and at points off those routes
new stations will be set up, so that in an
emergency our air forces would be able to
pick some route, even if the usual ones were
weather bound.

Ex-Pkone Pilot

Ex-Plone Pilot
In HIS early days in the Navy, Commander
Reichelderfer was plane pilot. and he knows
what clouds, fog and storms can mean to an
air force. During the World War, he was a
Naval meteorologist in Nova Scotia, making
the forecasts by which the North Atlantic
submarine patrol charted its day-by-day ac-
tivities; he knows how weather can affect
naval strategy. Thoroughly schooled in tac-
tics. as we'll as in weather science, he knows
that our coast lines are far too long and our
country far too open to be defended except by
rapid concentration of forces in any particu-
lar danger zone. And rapid transportation re-
quires good weather - if not on one route,
then on another. Picking the right route is
job for the weather man.

(Continued from Page D greatly inferior Allied forces has not developed such strength as might have been expected. The Germans have been on the offensive through out the Flanders campaign, and casualties are normally at least three to one against attacking troops.
 The German high command now has to consider the partial exhaus- ton which always follows long major offensive. This is why no blitzkrieg stroke has been directed against the slowly retreating Allies, depleted though their numbers are by the Belgian exploitation. Time has been given to c very large pro- portion of the Allied forces to get away.
 The exaggerated expectations of Berlin that up to c million Allied troops in Flanders would be forced to surrender or die are not being justified by the turn present events are taking. Germany will get the channel ports, but there future vel. ue is yet to be determined and any major advantage to the Germans will have to await future develop ments.
 Over Extended Front
