Navy Seeks TO Speed
Weather Forecastinu
By Electric Methods
By Thomas R. Henry

A complete 24-hour weather fore
cast for the entire Northern Hemi-
sphere, which should not require
more than two hours per day to
formulate and take into considera-
ton all factors which can possibly
influence weather conditions. is one
of the goals of the Navy's new Once
of Research and Inventions
This may be the first step toward
influencing the weather by rational
human intervention since the effects
of any hypothetical intervention
will have become calculable." says
report just made to the American
Meteorological Society by Lieut..
Comdr Daniel F.. Rex.
1t involves making practical en-
tirely new methods of weather
forecasting by calculation by the
use of high speed electronic auto
matte computing" the report says.
Colleges Cooperate.
The Navy, Comdr. Rex said, Is
carrying out it's program through
contracts with several American
universities. The investiga tions will
be carried on by faculty members
but will be financed entirely by the

Rain Still Unsolved.
Of particular interest to the Navy.
Comdr. Rex says, are the mechanics
of rain formation. Most unreliable
of all weather forecasts at present
are those dealing with rain, largely,
because there is no clear under
standing of what causes water vapor
to condense into liquid droplets. A
present theory is that moderate to

ice crystals in the high atmosphere
and there is evidence that the dis
tribution of these varies radically

instrument for use with rockets is
contemplated.
1t is recognized, Comdr. Rex said
that radar offers a valuable instru-

it enables him to prove the atmos.

Under that law, Harold Senior, publicity director for the State CTO Council, said industrial tieups aris- ing from strikes or other causes will leave many industries unaf- fected since, he asserted, they will be enabled to draw upon the gov- ernment during loa6 for millions in taxes paid on proflts in excess of normal.
 At the same time John Mankow- ski disclosed that organized-workers at Risdon Manufacturing Company plants in this city and Naugatuck decided to petition the internation- al union for permission to go on strike in support of various contact demands.

 The union, which is seeking it's first bargaining contract with RAs- don, is demanding maintenance of membership and checkoff of union dues, lifting of wage rates to the rates in the area, arbitration of disputes, 4e-hour notice of layoffs.

Sfreicher Recoverino
 Hess Wins Brief
 Recess in Trial

Nuremberg, Jan. 26-(UP)-Julius Streicher was reported recovering from a heart attack in the Nuern- berg prison hospital today but Al- lied doctors indicated the NaA Jew batter was not completely out of danger.
 Streicher was stricken during the noon trial recess Wednesday by what doctors described as a'parox- ysmal tachycardiac" attack-a vi- olent speeding-up of the heart ac- ton.
 Meanwhile. Rudolf Hess won an- other brief stay in the Nuremberg courtroom when the four-power tri- bunal ordered the prosecution case against him held up for the second day pending a ruling on the Nazi's plea for permission to act as his own counsel.
 British Prosecutor Sir David MaxWell-Fyfe finished the Allied case against Constantin yon Neu- rath, one-time Nazi protector" of Bohemia and MoraVia.
 Maxwell-Fyfe charged that Neu- rath organized a fifth-column movement inside Czech0Sloyakia and played a major role in the betrayal of that country to the Aazis. He said Neurath's policy after the German occupation of Czechosloyakia was to assimilate the country into the new Reich by absorbing half the population and dep0rting or executing the rest.

(Continued from Page D energy, the D layer disappears, the E layer retains its relative position. and the F-l and F-2 layers combine about halfway between their day time locations to form an F layer
 Higher Layer Heavily Charged
 The higher layer is the m Dsi heavily charged with ions, and has the greatest power to refract radio waves. The lower layer is the least heavily charged and bounces pack the fewest waves. Waves of dif- ferent lengths are refracted frHm different layers, until finally high frequency or ultra-short waves wiu penetrate the ionosphere and not be refracted. These were the waves bounced off the moon.
 Once the ionosphere is fully charted. vast improvements in all forms of radio communications are in prospect.
 Meanwhile scientists will seek to develop equipment capable of send ing ultra-short waves out into space with sufficient power so they can be used to explore the moons surface, and possibly even contact the nearer planets.

It's always easy for one party to fOrestaIl . program or hold up appointments favOring another party, because Democrats can control the Senate, while Repub. licans rule the House. It doesn't make any difference what the politics of the governor is. He will only have one side of the law making body with him, and this is traceable, of course, to our methods of appOrtiOnment of membership in the House and Senate. The Senate is composed of members who represent geo graphical divisions of the state. The House members actually come from the cities and towns, with no town allowed to send more than two. Thus Hartford or any of the big cities has two repre- wentatiyes; 90 has Union with less than 200 population. This Is contradictory to our idea of rep- resentatiOn. Of the senatorial dis- tricss 1t can be said they are far from even in numerical strength, which is the basis for their exiS- tence. Such an unwieldy state of affairs causes incidents that send a governor to the radio to pre- test Q Supreme Court decision which Is based on law and fact.

state Democratic leaders. among them the new Chairman, John Mo Guire of Wallingford, were quick to take Gov. Baldwin to task for his radio talk on the recent decision of the Connecticut Supreme Court relative to possession of the title of state Motor Vehicle Commissioner. The court gave the job to John T. Mccarthy. the Newtown squire who formerly handled the reins of the Democratic Party in Connecticut, because the State Senate never
 did ratify the appointment Of Col. Elmer Watson, Republican, which was made by Gov. Baldwin during the l94S legislative session. Both sides overlook the fact that they have taken advantage of political situation to hold an office for party-member. The irony of that situation is that Connecticuts legis- latlve system is about as antiquated as it could be and never will pc changed until the state rids itsen of its method of electing representa-" sives and senators.

 Warning the brides to be pre- pared to find many differences. Mrs. Roosevelt said, people may annoy you. It's just that they have not had the same background and the same experiences"
 Keen on Knowleage
 The women, most of whom expect to leave soon for their new homes in the U. S., were keenly interested in learning what the conditions of living are in America and Mrs, Roosevelt was boinbarded with Ques- tions concerning the housing short. age and the food and employment situations.
 She answered, you will find a housing shortage, but it Is not as bad as here. Tn New York the situa- ton Is extremely diflcult but I do not think it's as bad in some towns and villages"
 She told the brides that they would not find any prejudice against their taking jobs in the United States.
 Many wonder at Complaints
 "You are going to wonder what anyone in America has to complain about" she said. That's because you come from @ country where the war has been right on your door step"
 Advising the brides that they would not get afternoon tea, Mrs. Roosevelt said, you will find coffee in the American vice and you will have to learn to make 1t the way we make it."
 She told the wives if they are asked whether they took shipping space from American boys, "do not let that hurt you but have an ans wer."
 Mrs. Olga H. oilchrist, bound for Lowell, Mass., asked whether she could take up politics. She was ad- vised to begin locally.

.Hart's Theory
 Rouses SoIons

(Continued from Page D quartet of 70-year olds whose terms expire this year, that they did not feel equal to at least six more Sen- ate years.
 McKellar, the oldest Senator ex- pected to be a l946 candidate for reelection, is far from the old man of the Senate. That distinction belongs to Sen. Carter Glass, (D.- Va.). He is 0S. Glass has not been on the Senate floor since lo42 and is confined to his hotel room here, an invalid. His term expires in l949.
 8 Senaaors Average
 The aggregate ages of 8 Sena- tors whose terms epire this year is 1879 years. Their average age is just short of 57. Sen. William F. Knowland, R.-Cal), a veteran of world War II, is 37 years old and the baby member. Sen. Hugh B. Mitchell, (D-Wash.) is 3S.
 Thirteen of the B are in their fifties: Huffman, D.-OO, 5l; Cha veg, (D.-N. MD. 57; Butler, CR.- Neb) 5s; Brewster, R.-Me), ST; Langer, CR.-N. D., 59; Murdock, D.-Utah). 52; Mcfarland, (D.- Ariz), 5l; Stanfill (R.-Ky), 54; Gossett, O. -Idaho), 57; Briggs, (D.-Mo.), 5l; Byrd D.-VaD 5s; Kilgore (D.-W. VaD 53; La Toilette (Prog-Wis), 50.

Y) 60; Hart R.-Conn.) 68; Tunnel (D.-Del) 66; Gerry, (D.-R. ID 66.
 Senators Never Retire
 Members of Congress rarely re- tire and Senators almost never. An argument in defense of the oldsters is that a veteran in his seventies with his friendships, conn., mittee connections and all around experience may easily be a more ef- fective legislator than any first term youngster. It's further ar- gued that a member of Congress af- ter 30 or 70 years service at slO.- 900 a year probably will have ac- cumulated more debt than bankroll.
 With considerable justice it has been contended that to count a man out of his career late in life under those circumstances is hardly fair. Against the elder statesmen is Hart's unanSwerabie statement that the powers of men decline in their la- ter yaerS.
 These factors of age and tenure in office will figure in the ultimate Congressional discussion of a guf- ficient pay increase for legislators to permit them to save some money. Or the House and Senate may de- eide to work out a pension retire- ment plan for themselves.
 4 pension proposal was ridiculed to death and its sponsors were nler- ciiessly heckled some years ago. That, however, was more because Of the slickiy devious methods by which it was sought to enact the legislation than because of any basic opposition to giving elected officials some chance for security.

There Isn't Q "curb- stone lawyer who can't solve the problem for you with Q few vigorous shakes of his arms, plus verbiage that even he couldn't possibly under stand himself. All Of which indi- cales that there Is a confused state of mind among the cltizenry Of Waterbury as regards the situation. Too few understand how their gov- ernment operates, too few are cone cerned with orderly conduct of their government, as judged by their re quests for official tampering with tAx-rates, budgets, etc, On the Ques- ton of revaluation there can be no doubt of the need here In Water bury. It's the extent of the increases in view of present infiationary and disturbed conditions that cause most of the "beefing'.' All of which places an immense problem squarely on the shoulders of local officials, who must abide by statutes, charter, etc, no matter what steps they may take to alleviate conditions.

 The current nlibuster, meanwhile, eased of to a leisurely pace. After more than a week of le-thump- ing, name-calling oratory, the Sena- tors got together and took their regular Saturday afternoon oil.

 Husky Sen. Olin D. Johnston, (D" S.C), held the floor yesterday for more than four hours-with fre- quent relief by-his Southern col- leagues. He also yielded for Sen. H. Alexander Smith, (R-N. Jo, to urge passage of the bill to give "the Negro equality of opportunity and education"
 Warm CaFpet-baggers
 At the end of the day, Johnston's voice still boomed through the nearly-empty chamber as he chal- IenOed any of his listeners to name a single Senator who hired a Negro girl in his office.
 Johnston admonshed carpet" baggers" to look after their own homes, rather than trying to iegis- late for the entire country. He said South Carolina had fewer race riots than New York because i've are solving our problems in South Carolina"

Goering ried ToAvert WoE
 Flight to London
 Planned Sept. 3, '39

Nuremberg. Jan. %. CUP) - Reichmarshal Herman Goering was quoted today as saying that ne planned to fly to London on the day war was declared by Britain and France-Sept. 3, l9ss-in an attempt to avert it.
 Less than an hour before the Brit ish declaration, it was reported Goering had an em:Ssary telephone London in an llth hour bid to slave off hostilities.
 Goering himself reported, in re- plies to QueStionnaire sent through the War Crimes Tribunal to Birger Dahlerus, 6 Swedish engineer in Stockholm, his activity on the fateful Sunday two days after the Naz army had plunged across the Polish border.
 Goering named Dahlerus as the representative who telephone Lon- don to try to arrange a flying visit by the No. 2 man of the Nazi regime.
 The British demanded an answer to an ultimatum submitted at a. m. that day before they would agree to negotiations with Goering, he said.
 Goering, now on trial here with his fellow Nal leaders, contended he then personally telephoned Adolf Hitler in an effort to persuade him to answer the British note and supp port the planned flight to London.
 During their conversation. Goer- ing said. he learned that Germany's reply already had been forwarded to London, and that the British govern ment declared even while he was telephoning that a state of war ex- isted.
 The questionnaire did not name the person or persons in London with whom Dalllerus was said to have conferred by telephone. He was in Berlin at the time.
