DC. Weather Forecuster Proud
Of Summer Prediction Record

Washington's hottest and dryest
meteorological summer officially
concluded at midnight and Wash
ington weather forecasters were
congratulating themselves today on
having wound up an especially diff
cult period, prognostically speaking,
with a satisfactory record despite
wartime handicapS.
While the so-called meteorological
summer has ended, the solar sum-
mer does not end until September
% at 6:12 pm. War Time, it was
said at the Weather Bureau.
Even in average times" Archie
Bloom. one of the forecasters said,
people fail to realize the tremen-
dous job forecaster faces, and in
abnormal times this job is even
worse. June, July and August, the
months which we sum up as sum
mer,' have given us the dryest sum-
mer in 80 years of Washington
weather history.
But this extended spell of almost
UNMARRIED weather, instead of making
the forecaster's job easier, actually
has made it more difficult. This is
true during abnormal periods in any
season.
I'm winter, for example, our OBJ
servations and instruments might
give all the indications that a 20
below cold wave Is on the way" he
said.
Evening star., 1943-09-01

Now" he went on, what does
the forecaster tend to do when his
instruments confront him with such
a prospect? Why, he tends to be a
little conservative" Such hedging
of the bet naturally leads the eau
tious forecaster to trim his prog
nostication bit and lean in the
direction of the traditional. AS a
result, Mr.. Bloom said, the fore
cast, under such circumstances
more than likely would be for be
low zero" temperatures.
Following out his analysis of the
forecasters difficulties, Mr.. Bloom
explained the tendency during the
summer has been not to 60 too far
from normal. Meteorologists have
been obliged to exercise the greatest
prudence and self-control to avoid
predicting a cooling shower or two.
Despite the temptation involved
in this, wartime handicaps and the
fact that forecaSterS also are victory
gardeners and would enjoy rain
or two as much as any one else, Mr.
Bloom says that the forecast record
here this summer has been up to
standard.
This, he explains. is attributable
not so much to the acumen of the
forecaster as to the improved meth
DDS which have come into operation
and the facilities provided by the
Washington National Airport.

and might well make Washington's
problem the worst in the country,
owing to the war influx of motor
lists into the District.
1--WE would have real crisis If
the motorists now here were to have
all the gas they wanted he assert
ed; more of problem than any
other city, for we attempt to move
all our traffic on the surface"
Traffic police at downtown inter-
sections were unanimous in their be-
lief that there had been no increase
in traffic during the rush hour this
morning.
Traffic Remains Normal.
4 Patrolman H. L. Matthews, or
duty at Thirteenth and F streets,
reported that traffic at his inter
section had been normal and that,
If anything, there had been a slight
decrease in the number of automo-
biles on the streets this morning.
Patrolman Joseph A. Meyer. whose
post is at Pennsylvania avenue and
Eleventh street, also noted no in
crease at his intersection, but as
serted that if the relaxation of the
ban were to increase automobile use,
it probably would be more noticeable
during the evening hours.
The District OPA reported it had
made no attempt to enforce the ban
last night.

Passamaquoddy Becomes
Seabee Training Base
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Passamaquoddy, where the New
Deal set out in the 1930s to harness
the Maine tides and produce electric
power, has gone to war.
President Roosevelt told reporters
yesterday that the facilities of the
giant, abandoned project had been
turned over to the Navy as train
ing center for naval construction
unitS-the "Seabees."
Quoddys cost originally was esti-
mated at s37,000,000. About ST ,OO0,-
900 from emergency relief funds was
expended on it before Congress
stopped the project in 1886 by re-
fusing to appropriate further money.
Out of the $1,000 900, about ST ,5OO,-
600 went for housing, which included
barracks and mess facilities for
2,400 workers In addition, there
are shops and machinery of value in
training the Seabees.
After Congress cut off funds for
'Quoddy its facilities were turned
over to the National Youth Admin
istration. which now, in turn, has
been denied money for continued
operations.

Outside Jury
For CIatterbuck
Trial Ordered
Defendant Wins on
Venire, but Loses
On Change Of Venue
By Staff Correspondent Of The star

BY Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
LEESBURG. Va, Sept. IA panel
of jurors from Frederick County will
be brought here Tuesday to try mur-
der charges against Thomas Will
liam Clatterbuck, accused of killing
five persons on the farm of A. Nor
ris Love near here, Judge J. r. H.
Alexander today granted a defense
motion for change of venire.
Judge Alexander granted the mo-
ton after the morning had been
spent hearing arguments by both
sides. At the same time, he denied
motion for change of venue,
which would have taken the trial
itself to another county.
Clatterbuck Is charged with the
Staying on June of Mr.. Love, his
wife and son James and Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Russell, tenants on the
Love farm.
Rules on Two Motions.
There Is no doubt from the ev-
dence or In my mind" Judge Alex
ander declared, that the defendant
could get a fair trial in Loudoun
County SO that the motion for
change of venue would be denied.
But as to the motion for change
of venire, after having examined so
prospective jurors with little sue
cess, the court was of the opinion
that a competent jury could not be
selected in Loudoun County with the
exercise of any reasonable amount of
effort. Neither the law nor sound
reason requires the court to exhaust
the jury list of 300 before reaching
this conclusion.
"The motion for the change OF
venire would be granted and panel
summoned from Frederick County"
1t was understood that "a venire-
men would be sent from Frederick
County by the clerk of the Circuit
Court in Winchester to be examined
as to fitness by the court here.
Judge Alexander said a State
trooper will be sent to Winchester
Immediately with the request.
After last Mondays session, Judge
Alexander indicated he would be
more inclined to grant request
for a change in venue than for a
change in venire. Commonwealth
Attorney Charles F. Harrison at that
time said he would concur in a mo-
ton to bring in jurymen from OUT
side the county, but this morning
he withdrew this concurrence on
the ground that the Loudoun Coun-
ty jury list of 800 talesmen had not
been exhausted.
Counsel Not Apprehensive.
Maj. Robert A. Mcintyre, counsel
for Clatterbuck, told the court today
he had no apprehension for the
safety of his client and expressed
great admiration for the people of
this county "for the way they
behaved"
But these people" he said, "are
like all other people. They form
opinions and they have that right
During one point in the proceed
ings. while Maj. Mcintyre was de-
scribing the plight of Clatterbuck in
not being able to obtain supporting
affidavits to the motion for a change
of venue, the prisoner broke down
and sobbed for several minutes.
He quickly recovered his COM
posure, however.

Traffic Moves Freely

Highway Director H. G. White
hurst said today that motorists we're
doing very we'll in following direc-
tions as to traffic routes on IN
dependence avenue where the newly
completed north roadway, which is
restricted to westbound movement,
was opened to traffic yesterday.
A few motorists who apparently
did not read the signs carefully
made wrong turns, but most adopted
the new system speedily and cor
rectly, he said.
At a cost of about 81 ,0O0,0 900, new
roadways, including bridge over
the north bay of Tidal Basin, were
constructed from Fourteenth street
to Lincoln Memorial to provide new
and better traffic arteries linked
with the road system for the War
Department Pentagon Building and
other Federal offices in nearby
Virginia.
Until the north roadway was COM
pleted the south roadway in the
Tidal Basin area was used for two
way traffic. but the south roadway
now is restricted to eascbound move
ment.

Central Ambulance
Dispatching System
Gets Tryout Quickly
Five Coils for Assistance
Are ReIoyed Through
Capt. Friede's Office

Three emergency obstetrical cases
and child bitten by a dog were
handled speedily today in the first
hours operation of the Districts
new central ambulance dispatch
system from fire alarm headquar-
ters.
Calls for ambulances were re-
ceived at the fire alarm headquar-
ters through the new telephone
number. Hobart 1922. Operators
there then sent the nearest of 26
available ambulances to pick up
cases.
First call came for a child bitten
by a dog at 5033 B street Sc. The
18th precinct police scout car-am-
bulance took the child to Gallinger
Hospital. This call came In at 8:05
am, five minutes after the new
system was started.
A few minutes later Casualty
Hospital ambulance was sent to 4903
Ayers street Sc. to take an obstetri-
cal case to Gallinger.
Cdpl. lSl DeIG "A. TIltue, SuptTl1l-
tendent of the fire alarm system and
director of the new setup, empha-
sized that the hospitals have given
full authority for control of their
emergency vehicles to the new CEN
tral dispatch board They report to
the board before starting any am
bulance runs of their own and
respond instantly to orders from the
central operator, even to take a case
to another hospital.
Third and fourth calls were also
obStetrical cases. A Freedmen's s
Hospital ambulance went to 319 U
street NV and an Emergency Hos
pital ambulance to 1926 Fourteenth
street NV.
Il was satisfied with the speed of
the service Capt. Friede said.
The system was set up by the
Board of Commissioners after The
Star had described in a series of
articles how persons seriously in
jured in traffic accidents were left
lying in streets as long as an hour
because of delays and confusion over
receipt of calls for ambulances.

Traffic Doesn't
Increase Here
As Ban Is Lifted
Police See Test
In Late Rush Hour
And Tonight

No increase in traffic resulted
early today from relaxation of
the pleasure driving ban at mid
night, in the opinion of traffic
police and an official of the Cap
ital Transit Co., but the first real
test is expected after the rush
hour tonight.
E. F. Giddings, assistant to the
president of the transit company,
said that increased use OF automo-
biles most likely would develop in
connection with the desire to go to
restaurants, night clubs, sports
events and places of amusement.
This view was concurred in by
Inspector Arthur Miller, chief of
the Traffic Department, who ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that
no great increase in auto use would
be noted.

Construction Program Asked
In 9-MiIIion Welfare BUDGET
Huffs Proposal Also Coils for More
Personnel and Pay Increases

added maintenance costs at various
institutions and services and SAB
842 for personal services and $76,212
for plans for capital Improvements.
The most of the personal service
items is for overtime pay, plus
within grade salary promotions, in
keeping with wartime pay legisla-
ton, but provides s106,710 for new
positions.
Form Causes Confusion.
For 1945, the budget is placed in
a 'simplified" form, but the change
over seemed yesterday to cause
more confusion than simpliflcation,
as department executives were
called hastily to explain the new
form
For the general administration Of
the office of welfare director, there
is budget proposal of $50 ,597, an
increase of $12,730 to provide for
the hire of four more clerks and
legislated pay boosts of $500.
For the several child welfare IN
stitutions, including the Receiving
Home for Children, the training
schools for boys and girls and the
industrial home schools, 1904 900 Is
requested, which represents an in
crease of nearly $4,000 over this
year, but large part of this is for
pay increases and other annually
increasing costs.
Under the new budget plan, adult
welfare services are listed under one
heading Showing requested outlay
for the next fiscal year of $1,618, ,000. ),
an increase of $280000 over this
year.
Supporting sheets show a general
decrease in personnel, outlay in
grants, and appropriations for all
brackets of relief next year as COM
pared with this year, including
Federal grants.
Largely Financed by Tax.
For instance, summarized totals
show that the grand total of public
assistance estimated for the next
fiscal year is $2,150,000. as against an
estimated total of $2,2l9,0 900 for this
year.
OF these total sums, the District
taxpayers are expected to pay ST.
100000 next year, while Federal
grants cover 1888 400. For this year,
local taxes will produce $1,311 300,
with Federal grants totaling $907,-
900.
Figures offered by the Welfare
Department tended to show that the
number of recipients of relief is Oh
the decline. and it was indicated
that for all types of relief programs
the decline was 80 per cent for the
new year, as against the year ended
l943
For general public assistance, the
decline was 4.3 per cent; for home
care to dependent children, So per
cent; for oldage assistance, 13 per
cent, and for aid to dependent blind,
9 per cent.
Under the relief items, the well
fare officials seek an outlay of s8S.-
900 for food supplies for the Home
for Aged and Infirm, with under
lying data strongly supporting re-
ports showing that the average cost
of meal there is only 145 cents
Ofhcials added: 1--WE feel, indeed,
that is not an exhorbitant cost,
especially with the market condi-
tions existing today"
For D. C, patients at ST. Eliza
beths Hospital, the budget calls
for an appropriation of S3,259,45
an increase of more than $4,000 over
the current year. 1t is understood
the new charge to the District is at
the rate of sl90 per day.
