"A recognized authority says
tornadoes now can be identified
and tracked across the skies-the
big step in the eventual elimina-
ton of mass casualties from the
swirling, destructive winds.
A mechanical system of track

DR.. H. L. Jones of Oklahoma
A. and M. College. now can be
brought out of the laboratory
and used to warn those in the
path of the onrushing tornadoes.
For six years. DR.. Jones has
tirelessly experimental to prove
his theory that tornado storms
radiate a certain type of electri-
cal charge that makes them diff
ferent from other storms.
Until now, he has avoided
building up hopes that tornadoeS
could be tagged and pinpointed.
But in a progress report made
public today. the quiet. hard
working DR.. Jones said he is
ready to help set up a nation
wide system when officials au-
thoriZe it.
System Needs Financing.
However, DR.. Jones adds. it
will be up to the States, Federal
government or private business
to finance tracking stations
which could spot the tornadoes
as they develop and plot their
courses 50 towns in their paths
could be alerted.
He estimates station and its
equipment would cost about
100000. Six men would be
needed to man each station.

Oklahoma Scientist Reveals
System to Track Tornudoes

The cost, he says, would be
minor compared to the lives and
property damage such q system
could save. For the first six
months of 1858. tornadoes have
taken more than $50 lives.
DR.. Jones has not had time
to survey the country to deter
mine how many stations would
be needed to make the warning
system effective. However, rough
guesses range from so to 100.
The effective range of a station
is decided by one of its instru-
ments. radar. which has a normal
radius of 130 miles.
Plan Relies on EIectronics.
The system devised by DR..
Jones and his staff of the Okla
homa Institute of Technology
at Oklahoma A. and M, relies on

electronic devices.
This is different from the

LanieI Asks Taxes
Like Ones Which
Upset Mayer Cabinet
By the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, July 6.-The new gov
ernment of Premier Joseph Lam
iel outlined today a series of new
taxes. reductions of expenditures,
and means for paying back ad-
vances from the Bank of France
through which it hopes to get
the nations teetering economy
back on a stable basis.
Roughly, the measures which
the Laniel cabinet is proposing,
are those which caused the
downfall of the Rene Mayer
government on May 81. Each of
the four candidates for premier
who were rejected by the Ma
tional Assembly during the 81
day crisis which followed Mr..
Mayors custer also said the
measures would be needed.
May Risk Cabinet.
Mr.. Laniel was reported to
have decided to pose the ques-
ton of confidence of his meas
ures. thus risking his week-old
cabinet. The debate in the Ma
tional Assembly will take up
most of this week, starting with
committee hearings tomorrow.
Although he will face power
full opposition on many points, it
was believed the Assembly would
hesitate to throw out Mr.. Laniel,
with the memory of the recent
record crisis so fresh in the men,
ory of the deputies.
Chief among the new proposals
for raising new money are tax
increases on gasoline. diesel oil.
and alcohol. Revenue stamps also
will be increased and the fee for
passports doubled.
Will Pay Off Loans.
A communique issued after the
cabinet meeting which drew up
the proposals, said the new in
come would be used to pay off the
temporary loans given by the
Bank of France. The new taxes
are expected to raise 80 billion
francs t$85,714,20O during the
remainder of this year and double
that amount in a full year.
Mr.. Laniel also said his cabinet
would need special powers to
make necessary economies. It was
on this specific isue that the AS
sembly defeated Mr.. Mayer.

Nixon Makes Appeal
For u. ). 10 Work for
Freedom Everywhere
By the Associafed Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa. July g.
Vice President Nixon placed a
wreath on the grave of his great
grandfather, Civil War veteran,
here yesterday and called on all
Americans to work for freedom
everywhere.
when we lose interest in the
freedom of others, we may lose
our own freedom" the Vice Pres
ident said in a speech commemo-
rating the Goth anniversary of
the battle of Gettysburg.
The address at Gettysburg
High School Stadium followed
brief visit to the grave of
George Nixon, a Union Army
soldier who died of wounds re-
ceived on the third day of the
famed Civil War battle, July 3,
1863.
In his address Mr.. Nixon
urged Americans to learn more
about what the Communists
advocate"
He said it would have been
much better" if Americans had
read "Mein1 Kampf." Adolph Hit
ler's key book, before World
War II.
Similarly, all Americans now
should know what the Commu-
nists advocate" he asserted.
THE best answer to a false
doctrine is to study it and know
its weaknesses. When you know
both your own system and the
Communists, there is no ques-
ton as to which is better"
Mr.. Nixon assured his 5000
listeners at the athletic field
that peace and freedom in the
world ran be achieved without
total war.

Worries in Oil Industry
Accompany Big Output
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The oil
industry is all set to celebrate
Oil Progress Week come Sunday.
But right now it's worry week.
Price cutting, overproduction
foreign oil imports, refining cut
backs and prodding by the Gov
ernment for development of still
more oil reserves and production
capacity-all plague the oilmen
today.
For the long term. the future
looks bright enough. Demand for
products grows steadily. Ameri-
can oilmen have made note
worthy progress during the year,
finding more oil, pushing produce
ton to new highs and selling
more than ever before.
World supplies of oil are piling
up, creating need for more Gus
toners. Production has outrun
demand for the time being. Mid
die East oil production has been
pushing to new records. Canadi-
an oil output jumped 80 per cent
last year.
And into this world glut, Iran
is poking a delicate problem.
American companies are likely
to be asked to cut back their own
production some more so that
Iran can be eased back into the
market-and out of the way Of
Russian hands.

Stocks Decline S1-S2
Despite Strong Spots
During Quiet Trade
BY the Associosed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. - The
stock market declined a shade
today despite few strong spots.
The recession was Slight for
the most part, but there were
some losers of between / and 2
points. Gains extended to around
a point at the best.
Business was quiet at a pace
around yesterdays low 100000
shares. Many attributed this
lack of interest in the market to
the fact that all security and
commodity markets throughout
the United States and Canada
will be closed Monday for Colum-
bus Day and the Canadian

ually is slow before such a re-
cess.
Aircrafts were higher after an
early furry. Merchandising
shares were up with Macy's well
ahead. Macy's reported sharply
increased earnings in the past
fiscal year.
Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn stocks were off nearly 2
points at times. The company

No single section of the mar
ket was unusually depressed.
Most were steady to slightly

Corporate bonds were steady.

Many New Cars Sold
As Dealers Cut Prices
In Pinching Market
By the Assoeiated Pres,

DETROIT, Oct. 9.-The Ma
tion's auto retailers are selling a
lot of new cars right now but it's
taking all their ingenuity-and a
lot OF a price slaShing.
For some retailers new cars are
coming from the factories in
such heavy volume they are
glad to turn them over at little
or no profit. There are some. too.
who admit they are apprehen-
sive about the problems of the
outgoing model cleanup period.
Dealer Mortality.
The cleanup operation will
provide almost fantastic bar
gains for some new car buyers;
it will force large number of
new car dealers out of business.
Every year does not have so great
a number of new car bargains,
but it does have a certain amount
Of dealer mortality.
Offers of discounts ranging up
to $500 and more combined with
premiums" in the form of no
charge for certain items of de
luxe equipment are commonplace
at present.
What all this means is that a
large number of the Nation S
approximately $4,000 new-car
retailers already are feeling the
pinch of a market such AS most
of them never before experienced.
Many of the dealers say it isn't
the competitive market, but the
heavy production volume main
tanned by the manufacturers,
who apparently are going ahead
with their determination to build
close to 6,125,000 cars and IL
million trucks this year.
Trade-in Allowances.
Some retailers with new cars
stored in lots and warehouses
are leveling off their inventories
by both list price discounts and
high trade-in allowances. They
take the trade-ins although they
don't want them and offer
closer-to-cost bargains to the
buyer willing to make his own
uSed-car sales.
But this isn't as easy as it
sounds. The used-car dealers
don't need your present car
either. If one of them buys it
the price you get for it will be
several hundred dollars below
your valuation.
