Kept Watch on the Rhine
AS Weather Forecaster
By James Deane

Donald c. Cameron, Washington's
moonlight" weather man, is back on
the job with a CT nickname.
Recently returned after nearly six
months as official United States fore
caster on the Rhine, Mr.. Cameron re-
ports his colleagues dubbed him Noon
light and Laundry" in honor of his
bright moonlight tonight" and good
washday, weather" forecasts which
summer.
Chief of the local weather station at
the National Airport, Moonlight and
Laundry" Cameron won national atten-
ton for his advocacy of weather reports
with popular appeal.
Weather for Assault
AS Rhine forecaster, however, he had
no opportunity to practice his theory.
His job was to make daily rainfall pre-
dictions which were used in forecasting
river stages for the information of field
commanders. This data was of vital
Importance in planning the assault
crossings.
The weather, which might well have
disrupted the crossings, turned out to
be remarkably good, according to Mr..
Cameron. Since Europe had an abnor-
mally dry spring the river behaved
beautifully" with the result that it
was not a big factor" in the crossing
plans. Mr.. Cameron cites the Remagen
bridgehead as instrumental in easing
the task of the flood prediction unit.
Never Saw the Rhine
He never actually saw the Rhine
except on the weather maps, since the
fiood-prediction unit was located at
Chantilly, near Paris, where it was at
tached to headquarters of the 2lst
Weather Squadron of the 9Th Air Force.
The Germans had used Chantilly as a
communications center but Mr.. Cameron
says he never was closer to them than
100 miles. They also had occupied the
middle class chateau used as living
quarters by the unit.
He believes he was the only civilian
weatherman in the European theater.
The accuracy of his forecasts was at
tested by the lack of complaints, fact
he must recall rather wistfully as he
begins once more to share the lot of the
local weatherman. But we get used
TO complaints" he insists.

"It's as easy to learn to fly as to learn
to drive a car" aircraft manufacturers
and flying schools say. And Washing
ton Office workers are finding the state
ment true.
They are finding they can crowd the
time and expense of instruction into
their budgets and working hours. And
they are getting look at Washington
this summer from the coolest and most
pleasant spot-an airplane.
Is it as simple as advertised, and as
much fun as student pilots assert? This
writer began flight training as test of
its problems-and finished convinced
and enthusiastic.
1t took seven days-eight hours of
dual instruction as required by the Civil
Aeronautics Administrations reach

Rockville. Those seven days were spread
out over nearly a month, however, by
the requirements of Office work.

Donald C. Cameron, Wash
ington Airport 1Deathern1an,
1oho recently returned home
after nearly sir months as
official United States fore
caster ON the Rhine.
Mr.. Cameron has little faith in
prophets who claim to foresee the
weather 30 or so days in advance.
Longest-range predictions called for by
the Army were 10 days, with 48 hours
the normal period. European weather
wasn't much of a problem for him be-
cause of its similarity to that on our
West Coast. Since he joined the
Weather Bureau at II he has worked
out there and in virtually every other
part of the country.
At the airport he directs the work of
nearly 80 bureau personnel who service
the airlines as well as the Washington
area. He hasn't resumed forecasting
yet, but his sojourn didn't change his
ideas about forecast Technology a bit,
he says. If he can have his way Wash
ington may expect the weather report
to make good reading again this summer.

your "solo-itiS." Chances are that after
one or two landings he'll say:
20. K. This time you take it around
by yourself.
Don't worry. Just do everything as
you've learned it. If things don't feel
just right the first time, take it around
again.
I've had students make as many as
IS shots at the field before they came
down, but they always come down all
right"
Take it easy ;. and good luck"
And in few minutes you-once a
desk-bound earthling-have soloed.
Hold on, though. You're not in Rick
enbacker's class. The chances probably
are 10000 to l you never will be. But
you're an average civilian flyer.
You've got many hours of solo flight
ahead of you before you're eligible for
a private pilots license which gives you
the right to carry passengers. You've a
fairly stiff flight test and written ex-
animation to pass. But every hour in
the air working for that license is the
best fun in the world And in few
months you'll be saying to your wife,
or husband or friend:
How would you like to fly down to
Ocean City for the week end?" Or Let's
take spin around Washington and see
how the old town looks from the air."

They are rather like home folks and
think I understand them a little. And
Filzen is a long way from the war. They
have not seen soldier there since the
battle in March.
This week all the women and girls,
with the few old men left about town,
are haying. 1t is rather picturesque
watching them in the fields with their
rakes and scythes. All the children
are picking cherries The trees by the
roadsides are heavy laden with the ripe
fruit The village is fragrant with the
odor of new-mown hay and the tree
roses are in full blossom in the little
gardens 1t Isn't war setting at all
Filzen hasn't changed in ~ years, ex-
cept that the hair Of the girls has grown
white.
Too Mean to Die
When I left Maria warned me never
to believe Hitler was dead. He probably
is masquerading as a German private
soldier in some prisoner -of-war camp,
she said. She thinks he Is too mean to

die. I rather believe Maria is sincere.
Twenty. miles beyond Filzen on the
road to Koblenz is Morbach. 1t is a
farm town in the middle of the Huns
ruck, one of the Rhineland's richest
agricultural areas. Great fields of wheat
are ripening around Morbach now
There also my company was stationed
a little while in the early 1918 win
ter. I came to the town through a
great pine forest full of shattered Ger
man tanks and trucks. Unlike Filzen,
Morbach had changed. Its streets had
been paved. There were at least a
dozen new houses and fine new hotel
In Morbach we were billeted in the
home of the town policeman. He was
widower with two small sons, Peter
and Nichols. Peter was Z. One after
noon he failed to come home from play.
The father was frantic. A srowstorm
had set in. All night townsfolks and
soldiers together hunted the woods and
fields for Peter, with no success.
But the next day a very penitent,
weeping little Peter was brought home
by an aunt who lived at. Hermiskeil, 20
miles away. After a scolding from his
father the boy had started to run away
from home. Somehow he had trudged
the whole 20 miles through the binding
snow to his aunt,s house.
The burgomeister told me today the
old policeman had been dead for years.
Nobody knew what had become of
Nicholas. He was a sullen boy and
doubt If he came to any good end. But
Peter, the burgomeister said, was dead
in Russia. He was a fine, brave little
boy when we knew him, and I think
he made good soldier.

women of Filzen knew I was coming
and hurriedly got out the pictures from
junk in their attics so as to stage
realistic scene. If SO, there must have
been some very quick thinking. They
are rather stupid country women. I do
not credit them with that much clev-
erness.

nothing to brag about. But old Anna

all Germans were not bad and, she said,
there never had been a single Nazi in

hate Hitler and all his gang
Almost every German will tell you

Pretty soon your lessons will be mostly
taken up with landings and takeoffs.

the entire process, although with the
knowledge that he's on the other set of
controls giving you more confidence.

swing left 80 degrees, climb to 500 feet,

strip. At your checkpoint near the edge
of the field you cut your throttle,
glide down, swing left 80 degrees for
moment or two, swing left another 80
degrees and level of for another shot

With practice you improve, until one
day you're due to solo.
Some students are steady as rocks

Saipan>Japanese Are Being
Taught to Sustain Selves
By Bonnie Wiley,
Associated Press STAFF Writer,

SAIPAN-After a year of patient
waiting for the japanese Navy to come
back and get them, the $4,000 residents
of Susupe, Saipans civilian refugee
camp, are beginning to wonder. Many
of them still stubbornly believe that
Japan is winning the war, but are
puzzled as to why there is no evidence
Of it.
On one score. however, they have
definitely changed their minds. A year
ago they believed that Americans would
torture and kill them. Today they are
not only alive and healthier than ever,
but they operate their own farms, fish
ing industries and handicraft shops, and
they see Japanese war orphans living in
the finest style of any one in Susupe.
In addition to the $4,000 japanese
(about 80 per cent of whom are Oki-
nawanS in the camp, there are 1858
Koreans, 2,463 Chamorros and 852 curly
haired Carolinians. About 40 per cent
of the total are children.
The adults live in substantial sheet
metal shacks or in rows of one-room
apartments which are being built. But
the Japanese, Koreans and Chamorros
are separated, as they are not on too
good speaking terms.
Improvement in Health
Most marked change in these refugees
after year of American occupation is
the improvement in their health.
when we first got them" says the
camps director, Col. A. c. Houston, jr.,
of Palo Alto, Calf, they were unders
nourished, frightened, hunted. Today
you can see for yourself how healthy
and fat the children are, how general
health has improved"
The two most prevalent diseases
among the japanese are tuberculosis
and intestinal parasites. AS IS per cent
of the residents had worms, the entire

would stamp the picture under his
boots, such was the hatred of Americans
for panzer grenadiers. Maria asked me
If 1 thought this was likely to happen.
I told her I thought the picture would
be safe, but that soldiers are soldiers
everywhere and apt to do thoughtless
things. But she has more faith in
soldiers than, I. She said she would
leave the picture, and hope nobody
bothers It,
Rules Against Fraternization
Maria felt badly that my driver
wouldn't come in and join the party.
He couldn't if he had wished, consider
ing the rigid rules against fraterniza-
ton. I explained this to Maria. She
sent the young Maria out to the jeep
with a bottle of wine. The girl didn't
come back for a long time. But being
inside I saw nothing. They can't prove
by me that there was any fraterniza-
ton.
Eleven were killed in Filzen during
the Smelling. One was soldier. Ten
were old neighbors of Anna and Maria.
Still they were glad to see me.
Now haven't written this story with
any idea of arousing sympathy for Ger
mans. have very little myself. My
greatest fear is that they will not be
treated tough enough. This is an in
dividual case and there are doubtless
individual cases of nice people in hell.
And I have no doubt Maria and Anna
cheered the Filzen men when they went
out to war.
Some may suspect that the whole
thing was a lot Of eyewash-that the
