On 85th Birthday
"LOng Hair" Method.
BY the Associoted Press

UVALDE, Tex, Nov. 21-For-
mer Vice President John Nance
Garner will celebrate his birth
day tomorrow, as he has for
years, by going deer hunting in
the hills.
White-haired Cactus Jack will
be 85. A friend said today he is
"hale, hearty and very spry."
Mr.. Garner had been tramping
the hills in search of deer since
dawn.
He retired from active politics
after serving as Vice President
during the first two terms OF
the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
from 1888 to 1941. But big
Democrats still like to drop in
for chat with Cactus Jack, es-
specially when they're running
for Office
Mr.. Garner went into the hills
north of here today with his
deer rifle and an old friend, Ross
Brumfleld of Uvalde. They
planned to return tonight and
make fresh start tomorrow.
The Uvalde High School band
got Mr.. Garner started on his
birthday celebration Thursday
with Serenade in his driveway.
The band played Happy Birth
day" Dixie" and the school
song. "Uvalde."

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.-The
Douglas Skyrocket research
plane smashed through to sem
sational new speed mark. 1927
miles an hour, twice the speed
of sound-yesterday.
Test Pilot Scott Crossfield told
reporters today he corkscrewed
the skyrocket while at top speed,
testing her strength and power
to maneuver.
II rolled her around 800 de-
grees twice-and that was about
all the maneuverS we had time
for" he said.
The flight. high above the
Southern California desert,
lasted IL minutes from the time
the tiny Skyrocket dropped from
a B-29 mother plane, at 1901
pm. until it glided down onto
the dry lake that is Edwards
Air Force Base.
The swept-wing plane was
launched at about $4,000 feet,
climbed to an altitude in ex-
cess Of 60,000," and burned up

it's three tons Of fuel-liquid
oxygen and alcohol-in three
minutes.
The National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics (NACA)
which is using the plane for
high-altitude, high-Speed re-
search, said the actual top speed
was Mach 2.01, or slightly more
than twice the speed of sound.
The speed of sound varies from
760 miles an hour at standard
temperature"-63 degrees above
zero Fahrenheit-to 660 miles
an hour at 81 degrees below zero.
Mr.. Crossf1eld said he was so
nervous before and during the
flight that he felt as though he
had "the flu and a stomach
ache" together.
Mr.. Crossfield said the Sky
rockets speed marks have been
achieved in research flights in
which the plane is maneuvered
to test all possible reactions.
He added that yesterdays
mark was achieved in almost

1t was an i'll wind which blew
a snowstorm into Washington
November 6, but it stands fair
to speed a revolution in weather
forecaSting methods.
From DR.. Francis w. Reichel-
derfer, chief of the United States
Weather Bureau. yesterday came
a qualified prediction that by
January. 1855. the 24-hour fore
casts will be produced by cleo
tronics and mathematics.
The only human element will
be a phase which feeds great
complex masses of weather in
formation to a computer popu-
larly known as an electroniC
brain.
The November 6 storm and its
unorthodox behavior will be
studied soon by the computer
to determine in what way fore
casters along the East Coast
missed its duration. They had
correctly predicted its occur
renee, but missed by 10 hours
just how long it would linger.
Electronics Needed.
The current search for the
muffed forecasts reason becomes
secondary now.
What the prolonged snowfall
did was to point UP the need for
machine-produced forecasts, DR..
Reichelderfer says.
Advanced electronicS, improv-
ing every day, must move into
the forecaSting business if con-
siStently accurate and detailed
information that the public ex-
poets is to be forthcoming.
It means making forecasts by
computation rather than by per-
sonal, expert judgment. The Ma
TONS Number One Weather
Man put it this way:
cit is the difference between
an engineer figuring stresses in
a building by mathematics and
a sociologist figuring human be-
havior."
Many Reports Needed.
DR.. Harry Wexler, one of DR.
Reichelderfer's top aides, says
there is no human brain cap
able of holding the immense
amount of information and
which has the speed to process
that information in time to come
up with a useful forecast"
| To even approach an accurate
4-hour forecast for Washington
the bureau must have reports
from stations as far as 1000
miles to the west, north and
south and from 1000 miles out
in the Atlantic. The more in
| formation and the more stations
the more improved the forecast
-IF-the information can be re-
duced in time.
Weather data from the sur
face to 10000 feet is required
from 400 points over the lano
and ocean to predict weather
conditions over the United
State.

Man Kills Wife
And HimseIfin
Silver Spring
Woman in Triangle
Predicted Death 10
Minutes Earlier

A Baltimore man said to have
been jealous of a POW from
Korea shot his wife to death last
night in a Silver Spring grill and
then fatally wounded himself
with a bullet in the head.
Only 10 minutes before she
had predicted her exact fate.
The victim, identified as Mrs.
Ethel May Ditzel, 27, was shot
once in the abdomen. police said
and again at point blank range
in the temple after her husband
grabbed her by the hair and
pulled her head back against the
gun.
The double shooting occurred
in the Pickwick Grill, 1898 Geor-
'gia avenue. shortly after 5
o'clock. Some patrons fed and
others remained frozen with
horror until the final shot was
fired.
Pollce ldentltled the husband
as Edgar Morris Ditzel, 81 a
carpenter of the 1000 block Of
Pulaski highway. Baltimore.
He was taken to Washington
Sanitarium, Takoma Park, where
he died shortly after midnight.
POW Under Treatment.
Sergt. Charles Peter of the
Montgomery County force said
the Staying was the result of
a triangle involving a young
veteran of the Korean war.
Police said the veteran in
volved in the tragedy was Corpl.
zaohariah Hardin Foote, "a, Of
Baltimore, who was liberated
from a POW camp in August.
and has been under treatment at
Forest Glenn annex of Walter
Reed Hospital since the middle
of September.
Sergt. Peter and Capt. Carroll
V. Miller obtained this version Of
the tragedy:
The Ditzels separated about
two weeks ago. Mrs. Ditzel, who
had been tending bar in Balti-
more, decided to move to WASH
ington. Police were told this
was done to be near the vet
eran here.
Men Discussed Problem.
About a week ago Mrs. Ditzel
obtained a job as waitress at
the local grill. She was said to
have roomed in the 800 block Of
Sligo road, Silver Spring.
Corpl. Foote decided he was in
love with Mrs. Ditzel and wanted
a showdown with her husband.

A NACA spokesman calculated
that if the Skyrocket had had
fuel for a transcontinental flight
and had maintained the 1927
miles-an-hour speed, it could
have left New York at 8 am.
EST and reached Los Angeles at
Z am. PST-actually a 2-hour
fight.
The Skyrocket, built nine years
ago for the Navy. has been the
worlds highest climning and
tastes airplane since its jet en-
gine was removed in 1851, in
order to provide more fuel space
for the rocket engine, and since
aerial launching from BIOS was
substituted for runway takeoffs.
In 1851 Douglas test Pilot Bill
Bridgeman liew it 1898 miles an
hour and set an altitude record
of 79,494 feet.
Last August 81 Marine 1t. Col.
Marion Carl upped the Sky
rockets altitude mark to 63,235
feet. And only last October IA
Mr.. Crossfield few the plane
1872 miles an hour.

of rain is difficult enough to fig
ure. but it is not nearly so diff
cult as predicting the duration
and the amount of rain or snow.
Long Hair" Method.
The long hair" method, as the
bureau lightly refers to the COM
puter -forecaSting technique, may
be the answer.
The bureau isn't searching for
a goat" in the November 6
storm inquiry. The finger prob
ably never will be put on any in
dividual. but rather on the pres
ent, limited forecaSting methods.
What young DR.. Joseph Sma-
gorinsky, another aide, is prepar-
ing to do is to feed to a COM
puter all the information which
are available, but not humanity
proceSSable, in advance Of the
November 6 storm.
A similar post-mortem was
submitted to a computer strictly
as research after Washington
and the East Coast were swept
by Thanksgiving storm Novem-
ber 1927, 1850.
One model" of the storm,
using only partial information,
was submitted to the computer.
1t failed to show a storm of such
magnitude.
Must Have Memory"
Additional information was
fed in and the answer was i'm
proved.
A third try, with still more
weather data fed in, produced
remarkably accurate forecast
which would have detailed the
November, 1850, storm "a hours
ahead.
The computer now being used
performs in from 80 to 100 min
uteS the work which would take
seven man-years on a 40-hour
week. 1t must be able to re
member" through memory cells,
at least 10000 five-digit numbers
and be able to put them into the
problems at hand at the proper
time
In figuring a 24-hour forecast,
it is called on to figure two mil
lion multiplications and follow 40
different sets of orders.
1t is fed" by punched tape
or cards. similar to IBM written
pay checks. 1t answers in much
the same manner, producing a
set of figures, which, if present
plans materialize, will be tomor-
rows forecast.
