Weather Bureau Tries
|6-Day Forecast, but
Keeps Data Secret
BY GEORGE KENNEDY.

Although forecasters continue to
give the press and radio their pre-
dictions for the next "a hours only,
the Weather Bureau is now charting
the weather six days in advance.
With increased data now available,
prognostic chart for much of the
Northern Hemisphere is being pre-
pared twice weekly for the ensuing
six days.
This was revealed in a paper by
F. w Reichelderfer. chief meteorol-
ogist Of the Weather Bureau, read
before the autumn meeting of the
National Academy of Sciences now
in session in the National Museum.
Daily publication of six-day
forecast may help guide postwar
living, although Mr.. Reichelderfer
did not 60 so far as to say that in
his paper before the scientists. He
did say 1T is reasonable to expect"
that the great increase in trained
observers and in data collected,
caused by the war, will lead to
important postwar progress in the
science"
Accurate on Hurricane.
Interviewed after the lecture he
said that the bureaus accuracy in
the six-day predictions had not been
disappointing and spoke with pride
of the exactness of the six-day
forecast of the September hurri-
caie.
A six-day forecast of high prob
ability would allow better planning
for fun and profit in the postwar
world. Short vacations would be
more enjoyable. Farmers could
prepare the soil for seeding with less
chance of their work being wiped
out and harvesting would be aided.
Good weather could be expected for
outdoor sporting events and stores
could start advertising sales farther
in advance
Mr.. Reichelderfer's paper outlined
the increase in data which is i'm
proving forecasting.
Weather stations, both surface
and upper air, have been established
by the Army and Navy in many
parts of the world, where standard
observations have never before been
obtained" he said. Cost and in
ternational boundaries which here
tofore were obstacles have been
overriden by military necessity and
the global network of (weather)
stations, especially those for upper
air, is more extensive than ever
before"
observations and reports from
pilots in flight serve to fill some of
the gaps in the reporting network,
especially over the oceans"
40 Years of Weather Charted.
Some of the improvement in fore
casting is coming from research into
the past, which Mr.. Reichelderfer
described after his lecture. In
creased personnel due to the war has
enabled the bureau to make daily
weather maps of the entire Northern

Hemisphere for the past 40 years-
more than $4,000 maps.
Researchers are recording their
findings on Hollerith punched card
machines, which automatically sort
the cards and come out with pat
tern repetitions among the more
than 1900 days checked.
For example, II there is q storm
in the Mississippi Valley and high
pressures exist over Washington and
Montana, the card machine can
answer how many times such
storm has crossed the Allegheny
Mountains and how many times 1t
has moved out along the st. Law
renee.
Other speakers at the opening
session yesterday were Wilmot H.
Bradley, chief geologist of the
United States Geological Survey,
who spoke on Geology as an Imple-
ment of War; Zay Jeffries of the
General Electric Co., who spoke on
"Metallurgy and the War;" and Maj.
Gen. G. M. Barnes, chief of research
and development in Army Ordnance,
who spoke on American Science
and Industry in War"

generally recognized court or pro-
cedure for judicial determination of

3. "On the other hand, since the
present war began it has been the
uniform practice Of the irish gov
ernment to deny admission to all
aliens whose presence would be at
variance with the policy of neutral
ity or detrimental to the interests
OF the Irish people. or inconsistent
with the desire of the Irish people
to avoid injury to the interests of

The Irish Legation has placed on

States request for guarantees that
1t will not harbor Nazi war criminals,
which the State Department earlier
had termed not entirely satisfactory.
While refusing to state flatly that
1t would exclude Nazi leaders, Fire
said in its recent memorandum that
1t had been that country's policy to
deport undesirable aliens and that
the practice would be continued.
