Fees for D. T.. Students
AT u. Of Maryland
Increased 10 $3.50
By the Associated Press

District students at the University
of Maryland will pay total of $3.50
instead of $195 in nonresident and
general fees annually under the
new schedule of increased fees de-
signed to- provide funds for the
university's $1,450,000 building pro-
gram, officials of the institution
said today.
Out-of- State fees charged District
students were raised from $50 to
$125. In addition to this, it was ex-
planned, the increase from $145 to
$165 in the general fee for all stu
dents will apply to District and
other out-of- State students.
President H. c. Byrd reported to
the State Board of Public Works in
Baltimore that the latter increase
was for the deliberate purpose of
providing funds to construct a
chapel" He stated that the bulk of
monies needed to pay for the pro-
posed new chapel, swimming pool
and auditorium will come from
surplus veterans fees, and the in
creased fees for students.
The registrars Office said it had
no comment at this time on a fur
ther report from Baltimore that
veterans fees have been increased
by SIS a student under a new con-
tract with the Veterans Administra-
ton.
The Board of Public Works yester-
day approved the university's con-
struction program with a proviso
that work should not begin until
funds are on hand and the board
has given final approval.

Center Here Charts
Hemisphere Weather
Radios Il 10 World
By THONGS R. Henry

A Northern Hemisphere weather
analysis center, which charts more
than 10000 observations daily and
transmits them in code by tele-
type and radio to the rest of the
world, is being operated jointly by
the Weather Bureau and Army and
Navy weather services here.
The operation, by far the largest
of it's kind in the world, was ex-
planned in an exhibit presented
today before the conference of di-
rectors of the International Me-
neurological Organization meeting
at the State Department.
The work continues "a hours a
day with approximately IS experts
on the job under the direction of
j. r. Fulks, veteran Weather Bu-
reau forecaster. Observations come
into the analysis center, located at
the Weather Bureau, over IA COLI
tinuously operating teletype cir
cults.
Map Made in Hour.
AS soon as an observation is re-
ceived it is plotted by an expert
on the appropriate section of a
map of the United States and
Canada, which has been cut into
light sections. At the same time
an analyst is building up the map
to be transmitted while a coder
stands over his shoulder translat-
ing the data into the appropriate
code numbers for transmission.
About an hour Is required to make
one of these maps. Once it is sent
out in code it can be reproduced
precisely anywhere in the world.
Charts of surface weather con-
ditions are sent out four times each
day. Maps showing upper air con-
ditions are sent out twice daily and
prognosis charts are sent out at
intervals when data has been inter-
ported.
Special attention is paid to upper
air conditions which have become
of great Importance because of the
present "air front" methods of
analysis. Charts are prepared for
various levels, starting at approx
imately 10000 feet. For this purpose
there are received every IL hours
ITO "raobs," upper air soundings of
temperature and humidity, and a
lot of "pibals," soundings of wind
velocity and direction.
U. S. Services Linked Again.
Activities of the three American
weather services were co-ordinated
during the war but split up at the
end of hostilities. They have just
been brought together again in the
new analysis center.
The conference of directors after
brief business session this morning
split into section meetings for dis
cussion of details of a proposed
international weather information
exchange convention.

Contract for Designing
NewCourt House Here
Awarded 10 Justement

Louis Justement, Washington ar
chitect, has. been awarded a Public
Buildings Administration contract
to design the new Federal court
house here, which officials today
conceded will cost considerably more
than the SIC, 100000 estimated earlier.
While $4,000 is available to ex-
pedite planning of this building so
urgently needed to provide adequate
courthouse space, PBA said it is
unlikely construction will start for
another 10 months or a year.
Congress has done little more
than designate the site on the huge
District-owned parking lot directly
south and adjoining the Municipal
Center. Mr.. Justement said the new
building will conform more to the
type of Federal structures on Con-
stitution avenue than the Municipal
Center.
4 Although Congress has not yet
authorized construction, the bill
designated the site for acquisition
and set up the sum of $2,420, 900 as
a credit to the District for its share
of the eventual cost in return for
the site. How the total cost is to
be divided, however, was left to the
determination of Congress.
The architect is well known for
his work in Washington. He vas
associated in planning the new
House of Representatives Office
Building, and now is associated IN
planning the proposed new Veterans
Administration Hospital, which has
stirred considerable controversy over
the selection of site. The Massa-
chusetts Avenue Bridge over Rock
Creek, the Meridian Mansions and
other apartment houses have been
designed by Mr.. Justement, who is
a former president of the Washing
ton Metropolitan Chapter, American
Institute of Architects.
Discussing plans for the new
courthouse, he said it will front
about 300 feet on John Marshall
Place and about $50 feet on Consti-
tuition avenue. The site also is
bounded by Third street and the
Municipal Center Tentative plans
call for five stories and an addi-
tional story for the central por-
ton Of the building.
