had been approved in principle
at the Teheran conference OF
Roosevelt, Stain and Churchill,
and details of the program were
carefully polished in subsequent
negotiations.
There was ample justification
for the special attention devoted
to meteorological planning, for
high air force officers of both
nations realized the success or
failure of shuttle bombing and
other military moves hinged on
the calibre of weather informa-
ton which could be provided.
It was an axiom of shuttle
bombing theory that planes must
be sent into the air as promptly
from one terminal as another to
maintain the relentless sched-
ule demanded. This meant fore
casters in Russia must be able to
spot several consecutive days OF
good flying weather so the Fly
ing Forts not only could span
the continent and land safely,
but could also take off on return
trips TO English or Italian bases
without costly, weather-caused
delays.
The weather mans problem
was further complicated by the
record distances involved in the
flights. Skies might be crystal
clear over Italy, England and
Russia and snarled by impass-
able thunderstorms somewhere
in between. It was the Weather
Services responsibility to make
sure the bombers didn't wander
into any of these atmospheric
death traps and the presence
along the way of the towering
Alps and Carpathian mountains,
with cloud banks often building
up TO a height of 10000 feet,
didn't make the task any easier.
COMPARE NOTES
The skeleton crews of Ameri-
can meteorologists depends en-
tirely on an excellent network
of Russian weather stations for
its observational data on east
ern Europe. supplementing these
reports with weather broadcasts
picked up by its own radio re-
ceiving sets from u. S. weather
stations in England and Italy.
When all this data has been
assembled, Russian and Ameri-
can weather forecasters 60 into
a huddle and decide what Eu-
ropes weather will be 36 hours
later. Forecasts formulated at
these joint sessions are used by
American weather crews for the
westward half of their shuttle
runs, and selected weather in
formation is radioed TO England
and Italy to aid forecasters there
in planning eastward flights.
American b o m bers haven't
been the only beneficiaries Of
this exchange of meteorological
information. Weather reports
from American stations in Italy
proved Of inestimable value to
the Russians in their push into
the Balkans, and scores of other
allied weather broadcasts BEAM
ed to Russia daily from North
America, the British Isles, North
Africa and the Middle East have
aided in planning operations on
other fronts.

dis found the Russian weather

Army Exhibit
to be July 4

Here's Your Infantry" which
is to be presented as the feature at
traction OF the American Legion,
Fourth of July celebration, at
Briggs Field, is the Army's tribute
to the work of Uncle Sans foot
soldiers. Twenty-eight units were
trained under a competent director
to reproduce for the American peo-
pie, lust as dramatically as possible
the work these men do in actual
battle conditions.
There are IS officers and men In
the organization and they use every
type of fighting equipment includ-
ing flame throwers and bazookas.
The fact that nearly all OF the men
are veterans OF Pacific campaigns
and that many OF them will be DIS
charged in the near future with
sufficient points, indicates the
character Of the event. The entire
program was organized at the re-
quest Of the United States Treas
ury for the 18th War Loan, a fact
which establishes the event as OF
unusual Importance.
There is no charge for admission
TO the show which will take place
about $50 o'clock. Immediately
following will be scheduled the
Legion's fireworks display. The
complete exhibit OF fighting equip
ment will take place at Recreation
Park in the afternoon.

Army Points
to be Lower

Washington, June 27-UP-The
Army is expected to lower the num-
Der OF points required for discharge
from SIS to between IS and so in
the next few weeks, it was reliably
reported today.
At the same time members OF the
House Military Affairs Committee
said they anticipated no change IN
the Army regulation qualifying men
for automatic discharge on reach
ing 40 years Of age.
This they expected to stand de-
spite what they called tremendous
pressure" from those who felt that
older men-especially family mem
suffered the greatest economic dis
cost the taxpayers more money.
Other pressure came from those
who would release medical and
technical students but members ex-
pressed doubt that either OF these
changes would be made, explaining
that the Army insisted the only
fair method was to discharge the
men who had the longest and most
arduous service.
They also said that the Army
will stand on its demands for
100000 men to lick Japan. II
one group is relieved OF service
the pressure will mount for re-
lease OF other groups, they said.
However, the Army itself has
made it clear that some time soon
the number Of points needed for
discharge will be further reduced.

Simla. India, June 27-AP-In-
dian national leaders were report
ed near agreement today on the
basic membership Of a proposed
new viceroys council for India and
1t appeared possible they might go
on to draft a complete scheme for
an interim government before ad-
journing their present conference.
An official statement last night
said the parley, summoned by Vice
roy Lord Wavell. had reached Ger
tain provisional conclusions" on
British proposals TO extend Indian
seif-government, but did not indi-
cate the nature OF the conclusions.

hey Work Like
Beavers and Live in
Flats, and No PunS!

High water washed their homes
away, and the muskrats at Flem-
ings' Mill Pond on Geddes Road are
working like beavers, (Which they
very much resemble) to build a new
home on the flats. They work by
moonlight and as there is now
full moon the animals may be seen
clipping cattail stalks and swim
ming with them through the narrow
channels between the grassy and
half submerged patches OF islands
They seem unafraid of the watch
ers from the bridge, nor OF the
cars, and sometimes swim TO the
shore which Is within twenty feet
OF the road. They do not apparently
work as partners or in teams bu.
ignore each other as they pass
with tufts OF water weeds and
cat.tail leaves. There is no definite
mound close to the road high
enough to be called "house" but
in one place are piled a few OF the
articles that we'd call beaver
boards" for the construction OF the
dwelling. except, alas, we hate to
add to the earlier puns about the
animals living in flats and work
ing like beavers"

Hospital Has
Profit Record

With the first month OF the fiscal
year revealing a profit OF S2SS.l2
at Boyer Hospital. city officials to-
day were hopeful that the plan to
have an adequate, modern hospital
here without cost to the taxpayers.
may soon be realized.
Boyer Hospitals financial report
for the year, 1944-45, had indicated
a net loss in operation Of s391.9T.
However, much OF this loss is due
to depreciation OF equipment, in
creased labor cost for construction
work not included In the original
contracts, and the cost Of moving
from the old building to the new.
In addition to operating expenses.
the hospital pays of $4,000 worth OF
bonds yearly.
The income for the year 1874 was
s10S,S1750 and for 1945, Sl67 066.9l
The expenses for 1914 were $685..
1895 and for 1916 Sl67,45S.sS. The
largest sources of income are from
room and board and the operating
room. The largest expense items
are salaries.
The hospital had in cash on hand
at the beginning OF the 1914 fiscal
year, $14,92229 and on hand this
year, Sl1,595.S5. The loss here was
due to items paid which were not
in the original contracts.
The maintenance crew OF the
Hospital is rapidly finishing the
conversion OF the old building into
nurses home. which will make
room for a more beds for patients
in the new building.

Value of Sun

DR.. Orren Mohler, astronomer on
the faculty OF the University OF
Michigan entertained the members
OF the Kiwanis Club with series
OF pictures and a fine lecture We'd
nesday noon at the regular meet
ing at the Huron Hotel.
Speaking in terms which in the
most part were incomprehensible
IN regard to distances and time, he
did bring out in his discussion how
utterly dependent all are upon the
sun, which, although ninety-three
million miles away from the earth.
provides light, heat, energy. and
water. This is accomplished, in the
case Of water, by AZ per cent OF the
suns energy going towards pump
ing water from the oceans and dis
tributing it over the earth's sur
face in the form Of rainfall. Forty
three per cent OF the suns energy
goes towards growing plant life,
while the remaining is per cent
consists OF ultraviolet rays, which,
one hundred and fifty miles from
the earth are fused with other ele-
ments-produclng short waves,

ena possible.

The last OF the Ford-built B.24
Liberator bombers will roll off the
assembly, lines at the big Willow Run

remaining plant workers.
The plant until few months ago
was turning out approximately IS
of the huge bombers a day. Its
highest production month was
March 1914. when 462 planes were
built.
The closing down of the assembly
lines at Willow Run means also the
end OF B-24 bomber production, for
Willow Run had been the sole pro-
Queer OF the big four engined bonn
her for many months. Production
of the Liberator was discontinued.

because enough of the type were on
hand and a different design was
needed for the war in the Pacific.
Many OF the earlier bombers as
sembled at the plant and sent over
seas are back on the Willow Run
airfield where they are being pick
led" and stored for possible future
use.
II was estimated recently that
approximately $500. 100000 worth
OF bombers were produced at the
Willow Run plant. A Ford Motor
Company spokesman said today
that through the adoption OF auto
noble assembly line technique 1t
had been able to produce the Liber.

Anxiety Over
Labor Strife

Washington, June 27-AP-Gov-
eminent labor agencies made little
effort today to conceal their ankle
ty over the growing number of
strikes across the nation.
They looked to President Tru-
man on his return to Washington
and the almost simultaneous &C.
cession OF Federal Judge Lewis B.
Schwellenbach to the cabinet labor
portfolio for some move to strength
en- the governments position in
dealing with the flareup Of labor
strife.
War Labor Board staff members
say the outbreak, which has been
taxing every resource OF the U. s.
Cancellation service and WLB's dis
putes section, is directly attribute
BILE to victory in Europe.
While the number Of strike votes
requested by unions has been
mounting swiftly since March, the
number of actual strikes remained
in check until after We day last
month.
Since then the rate OF strike oc
currences has about doubled with
approximately $4,000 workers CT
rently estimated to be staying away
from their jobs.
