Robot Observers
To Broadcast DATA
On Weather
Bureau to Place Device
On Mountain Tops, Bleak
Islands and in Deserts

BY the Associated Press.
The Weather Bureau is planning
to place robot weather reporters at
remote points on mountain tops,
bleak islands of the Pacific and in
the middle of deserts.
Set to work for months without
attention, these automatic weather
observers will broadcast at regular
intervals during the day and night
observations on temperature, baro-
metric pressure, humidity, wind di-
rection and velocity and the amount
Of rainfall.
Scientists of the Weather Bureau
and the National Bureau of Stand
ards consider the device simple, but
it is practically mechanical brain
and radio station combined.
Similar Instruments in Use.
Similar instruments are already in
use throughout the country to make
"soundings" of the upper air. Tiny
measuring devices and radio sets
powered by dry-cell batteries are
sent aloft daily to measure humidity,
pressure and temperature up to 20
miles above the earth.
The new sets will be much more
complicated. They will contain a
clock which will run for months to
time the signals sent out, a 15-watt
broadcasting transmitter powered by
storage batteries; wind vane con-
nected to eight electrical contacts
around the compass; a wind velocity
recorder which will signal its rate
of rotation; a rain-collecting pan
which will automatically weigh the
amount of rainfall, relay the report
and then dump the water; delicate
thermometer which converts tenn
perature into electrical resistance,
and a sensitive barometer which
measures the pressure of the air and
converts it directly into electrical
variations which actuate the broad
cast signals.
Ordinary Receiving Set Needed.
The clock will be set to start the
mechanism at any intervals desired
during the day and night, even al
lowing time lag for the radio tubes
to warm up. Then each element of
weather data will be broadcast in
pre-arranged sequence. At the re-
ceiving end a weather expert needs
only an ordinary receiving set,
pair of headphones and stop watch
to convert the frequency of the sig
nails which he hears into data for the
preparation of tomorrow's weather
forecast.
One of the robot observers has
been tested at the Naval Air Sta
ton here since April /. It's readings
have differed only slightly from Of
ficial readings made at the Weather
Bureau. The errors we're all less
than per cent and in the measure

ment of rainfall it missed by only
2 one hundredths of an inch.
Such instruments should be par
ticularly valuable at the present time
in forecasting weather in the United
States and Canada, Weather Bureau
officials pointed out, because few re-
ports are being received on advance
ing storms or weather changes from
Japan, Russia or ships at sea.

licans, on the other hand, point to
the strong independent following
Mr. Willkie has attracted, exempli-
fled in the Willkie clubs that are

the regular party setup.

are how the war crisis will react on

be passing through section of the
country that may have a decisive
effect on his whole campaign-the

Mr.. Willkie was visited on his
train at Albany yesterday by Jo-
seph N. Pew, jr., prominent Penn
Sylvania Republican, who brought
optimistic reports on his chances
of carrying the Keystone State.
Mr.. Pew indicated he thought that
if the election were held today the
State would go to Mr.. Willkie by

taken the view the Democrats will

Apparently answering what he ha:
on previous occasions described as
reflections on his patriotism, Mr.
Willkie listed the war service OF
himself and other members of his
family in 1917 He enlisted as soor
as this country entered the conflict
At the same time, he said, he hates
war and prays this country will not
again become involved in war.
Again at Amsterdam Mr.. Willkie
told the crowd the Democrats en-
gage in "a smear campaign" instead
of discussing the vital issues of the
day.
Mr.. Willkie declared he has "a
great concern with the third-term
candidate makes reckless statements
that may lead the country into war

to be receiving serious consideration
by his campaign staff. If it is de-

In the 1886 election President
Roosevelt rolled up a majority in
New York City of 1875 900, while
ALT NJ Landon commanded a lead
of only 262 900 upstate, giving the
State to the President by landslide
figures.
G. o. P. Hopeful in State.
The Republicans are confident
they will make a better showing up
State than they did four years ago
and their hope is that they can
take Mr. Willkie down to the Bronx
with a majority of close to 100000
If they can reach that goal they
still would have to reduce the Presi-
dents 1886 city lead from 1,375.00O
to less than 100000.
The DeWey-Lehman race for Gov
ernor two years ago is one of the
factors that makes the Republicans
hopeful this year. In 1888 the up
State Republican majority for
Thomas E. Dewey was els 1000, while
the city margin for Gov. Lehman
was 100000.
At Amsterdam Representative
Bruce Barton, Republican candidate
for the Senate, predicted that if
upstate New York gives Mr.. Willkie
as many votes as it gave Mr.. Dewey
