partment has a division of Near
Eastern Affairs within its Office
of Near Eastern and African At
fairs. Thus, our Government
avoids reference to the Middle
East. On the other hand, the
United Nations freely refers to the
Middle East when mentioning the
region meant when the term Near
East, is used. Most British and
American newspapers do like
wise.
Since the emergence of Israel,
news dispatches place the Jewish
state in both the Near and Middle
East. Actually, both terms apply
to the fringe of countries along
the Asiatic mainland nearest to
Europe. The area is generally con-
sidered to include Israel, Turkey,
Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, the
Hashimite Jordan Kingdom (for-
merly Transjordan), and parts of
Northwestern Arabia.
At~the beginning Of World War
II a British military designation
added to the confusion. The Bri-
fish Middle East Command was
set up over much of what Ameri-
cans previously considered the
Near East. British communicates
labeled it Middle East" and this
expression regularly found its
way to U. S. newspapers. If
American instead of British
troops had been first to guard
Egypt's western boundary and to
help the Free French clean up
Syria, the war news from this
theater would have been Near
East news instead of Middle East
news.

The cabbie shook his head and

He had $4,000 to get through the
first year.
On February 19, 1871, regular
daily forecasts began. Prof. Cleve-
land Able was given the job, as
sited by 1t. Robert Craig of the
Signal Corps. But they weren't
called forecasts"
Kites introduced i'm 1907.
Prof. Able called them "proba-
bilities," and they came out three
times a day for eight geographical
districts. The Far West was ex-
cluded.
BY October the following year
the probabilities" were extended
to cover a full 24-hour period, and
another district was added.
Probabilities became "indica-
tons in 1875 and forecasts" in
1889. In 1893 these forecasts went
48 hours into the future and were
issued on a Statewide instead of
a district basis. Two years later
the present Weather Bureau was
established.
Back in those days it took plenty
of baling wire to put a forecast

together. Reports from other
countries and from ships at sea,
so important to modern forecast
ing, were rarely available. Get
ting upper air soundings was i'm
possible until high-flying kites
came to be used in 1907.
Kites could ascend as high as
%, 900 feet and carry instruments
showing wind, temperature and
pressure. They were controlled
by piano wire wound around
heavy drums. But when the wind
was too strong or too weak they
could not be used.
Balloons Used Since 1917.
The Weather Bureau began
about 1917 to use pilot balloons,
or pibals, for wind direction and
velocity and airplanes for pressure
and temperature. Pibals are still
in extensive use, but the radio
sonde came, into limited use in
1887.
Radiosondes are little transmit
ters and recording devices, at
tached to large balloons, which re-
port back to the ground the pres

Just 80 years ago next Thurs

something about the weather. The
Army's Signal Corps got the job.
New world weather fans had
been active ever since 1914. when
the Rev. John Campanius, of
Swede's Fort, Del, kept what is be-
lieved to be the first daily weather
map on the continent.
But not until February 9, 1870,
did Uncle Sam get into the fore
casting field.
A congressional resolution of
that date required the Secretary of
War to:
Provide for taking meteorologi-
cal observations at military sta
tions in the interior and at
other points and for giving
notice on the Northern Lakes and
on the seacoasts. by magnetic tele-
graph, and marine signal, of the
approach and force of storms"

Billy johnson turned it into a
double play. Johnson had just
gone into the game to strengthen
the Yanks' defenses, so it looks
as if Casey Stengers lunches are
still working. Yankee players are
quoted as saying they consider
Ennis the most dangerous of all
the Phillies.
Incidentally. the Inquirer's all

Hoyas' Lineup Switch
For Tulsa Sends Two
New Starters 10 End

Georgetown hopes to bounce
back from it's opening-game de-
feat by Penn State last week by
beating Tulsa in tomorrow after
moons clash at Griffith Stadium.
Game time is 2 pm.
The Tulsa team, which has been
unable to whip Georgetown in
three previous tries, was due in
Washington today by plane with
light workout scheduled late this
afternoon at Griffith Stadium.
Coach Bob Margarita of George
town has made two changes in
his starting lineup, putting
Charles Acocelia. a sophomore 1856
FOUNDER, at left end and Harry
Schmitt, 190-pounder. at right
end. Both are 6-footers.
Margarita ran the Hoyas
through their last drill yesterday,
stressing defense. There was none
of the heavy contact work that
marked Georgetown's drills of the
previous three days which Mar
garita hopes has whipped the
Hoyas into better physical con-
dition.
There was one casualty. Tackle
Art Sheridan, his nose injured,
will not play tomorrow. Several
stitches were needed to close
cash in his nose.
Also missing will be Halfback
Bob Vesperille and Guard Bob
Dunn as the result of injuries re-
ceived against Penn State. Yes
perflle is the defensive stalwart
who intercepted a pass and re-
turned 80 yards deep into Nittany
Lion territory to set up George
towns first touchdown.
Tulsa has a tougher team than
it's loss to San Francisco two
weeks ago would indicate and is
a touchdown favorite. It's
running game is powerfully built
around Jake Roberts, 200-pound
halfback, and Howard Waugh,
210-pound fullback. They oper-
ate behind a big and fast line in
which Jim Prewett. 235-pound
tackle. is a standout.
Despite the ground power, Jack
Prendergast, the Georgetown as
sistant coach who secuted the
Golden Hurricane. says that Tulsa
uses nearly so per cent pass plays.
Georgetown's own passing game,
expected to be it's strong point
this season, was weak against
Penn State and much time this
week has been spent polishing
that phase of the attack. Coach
Margarita particularly is trying
to give his passers, Tommy Hardi-
man and Frank Mattingly. more
protection. Last week they were
smeared frequently.
