Tropical Storm Rises
Too Soon for Test Of
Hurricane-B
BY the Associo'ed Press

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. IA Sc
we're tropical storm whirled west
northwestward across the At
lantic today toward the British
West Indies, apparently few
days too early to become a
guinea pig for history's first
hurrican-busting experiment.
In an advisory issued at 4:30 am
the Weather Bureau at San Juan
Puerto Rico, said the tropical storm
was then centered about 400 miles
east of Antigua, British West
Indies, and that winds were esti-
mated at hurricane force over a
small area near the center.
Gales extended outward 30 to 100
miles from the center, the Weather
Bureau said, and all vessels in the
path of the storm were urged to use
extreme caution" Small craft
from Dominica, British West Indies,
northward and westward to the Vir-
gin Islands were advised to remain
in port for the next "a to 36 hours.
The storm, moving west north
westward at about IS miles per hour,
was expected to increase in intensity
today, the Weather Bureau added.
The storms path would cross that
of the battleship Missouri, bring
ing President Truman home from
the Rio de Janeiro Conference, but
they were nearly 1000 miles apart
and the Big M could easily change
course and is capable of cruising
at twice the storms forward speed
of IS miles per hour.
Army and Navy authorities were
speeding preparations to conduct

or other crystals, but said all phases
of the plan would not be ready un-
| til next week end.
Crews are now being briefed, pho
tographic equipment assembled and
scientific data studied in preparation
! for the experiment. DR.. Irving
Langmuir, noted physicist and No
bel prize winner, is cooperating
with the Army, Navy and General
! Electric Co. in planning the hurri-
cane busting.
The scientists and military services
want a big storm far at sea for their
first experiment. Various chemicals
are to be used. but the experiment
will be conducted cautiously because
the effect on such a storm is not
known.
