MOSCOW, Dec. 2o.-The For

steady progress as they went
into the fifth day of their confer
ence today, but there were indi-
cations they did not expect to
finish by Christmas.
The first intimation that the meet
ing might go over into next week
and possibly continue after Christ
mas was a disclosure by informed
quarters that Secretary of State
Byrnes planned to attend the an
nual Christmas Eve dinner of the
American colony Monday.
So far there has been no official
estimate as to how long the confer
ence would last, but observers point
ed out that the Ministers had be-
fore them a multiplicity of prob
lens. some of which were extremely
complicated, and that disposition of
these issues would naturally require

delayed the dispatch of conference
documents to London by plane.

ferred with Soviet Foreign Commits

There was no definite information
as to which of the numerous prob
lens on the agenda had been under
discussion or just how far the min
listers had gone toward disposing of
any of them. Strict secrecy con-
tinued to surround the discussions.
Observers said, however. that the
talks were proceeding smoothly and
in an atmosphere of cordiality and
good humor. This spirit was re-
flected yesterday at luncheon
which Mr.. Molotov gave for his two
guests and their advisors.

changed after the regular date for
filing.
Another tax saving possibility
may be illustrated:
Assume the husbands income to
be $3.50, his deductions $3.50.
Since the table allows him deduc-
tions of 0233, he will obviously
save tax by using the short form
The wife's income is 1920, her de-
ductions none. The table allows
her dudections of $9s. Filing sepa-
rately on the optional form, their
taxes will be, respectively, 1919 and
STA - total of $453. But if they
file joint return on this form,
their tax will be SIS more, (tax in
the table, $473, less SIS allowed by
the Special Rule at the bottom of
the table,. This is because the
table allowed them larger deduc-
tions separately than it did jointly.
The joint deduction on the total
income of $500 is only 5000, as
compared with separate deductions
of 1882. However, with other fig
ures. the advantage may lie the
other way.
When husband and wife both
have incomes, an answer must be
found to all these questions:
l. Shall they file separately?
a. II so, shall both use the
short form?
b. Or shall one use the long
form?
C. Or shall both use the long
form?
d. If the long form is to be used.
shall the standard deduction
be taken?
2. Or shall they file jointly?
a. If so, shall it be on the short
form?
b. II on the long form, shall
the standard deduction be
taken

and encoding of weather reports,
winds aloft, plotting of radiosonde
upper air. data. synoptic maps,
and other auxiliary charts. A
knowledge of physics, chemistry,
and trigonometry are of great help
to an observer.
At station the observer is very
busy. Every hour he takes sur
face observation in which he re-
cords such vital data as sky con-
dition, height of ceiling, wind di-
rection and speed, types of clouds,
altimeter setting, atmosphere pres
sure, visibility, types of precipita-
ton, and so On. Great accuracy
must be achieved in estimating or
measuring the height of ceiling
because pilots may crash into one
of the surrounding mountain peaks
is case an error is made in judging
the height of the clouds. Ceiling
heights are measured by means of
ceiling light and the use of trigo-
nometry. Ceilings may also be
measured by means of a balloon
which has a known rate of ascent.
With experience, an observer gets
so accurate that he can estimate
the height of clouds within a hun
dred feet.
Observers must also be careful
about computing accurate alti
meter settings because if the set
ting is inaccurate, the pilot cannot
tell exactly how high he, is above
the terrain. Consequently in night
or instrument flight a fatal acci-
dent may occur.
After the observation has been
completed, the data is sent to the
control tower over the teletalk sys
The Coolidge examiner., 1945-01-19

Next to the Germans and Japs,
perhaps weather has been one of
the greatest factors in the loss of
American planes and men. Since
the air is place where planes
travel, the knowledge of the condi-
tion of the atmosphere becomes of
utmost Importance so that flights
may be conducted with maximum
efficiency. The Weather Wing of
the Army Air Corps is constantly
seeking to improve the weather
service and to further performance
OF all branches of the army by fur
nishing accurate forecasts when
ever requested. Weather informa-
tion is utilized by other branches
of the service besides the Air Corps
Tank units need this information
so that their heavy equipment will
not bog down in muddy areas. The
artillery needs weather data so that
~ effects of wind and tempera-
TUE on shells in flight may be
counteracted. Chemical warfare
units need knowledge of weather
conditions so that smoke screens
and gas clouds will not be dissi-
pated by wind or rain. In civilian
life weather information is useful
in planning for flood control, agri-
culture. civil air navigation, and in
issuing storm warnings for ships
and coastal areas.
Let us see what takes place here
at the Coolidge Army Air Field to
insure safe flying as far as wealth
er is concerned. The work of the
weather detachment is divided into
two phases; namely, observing and
forecasting.
The knowledge and training re-
quired for an observer is quite
technical. In school he is taught
elementary meterology, knowledge
of weather instruments, surface
weather observations, teletype op-
