Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

1t was a great privilege last week
to be among the group of Congress
men invited to the White House for
breakfast with President Eisenhower.
I have a souvenir of the occasion
a cigar given to each of us by Mr..
Eisenhower, with the band around it
bearing his picture. would like to
make it available to a good charitable
organization somewhere in the Sixth
district of Maryland, to raise funds
by auctioning it off.
The President served big break
fast - grapefruit, cereal, scrambled
eggs, sausage, mullins and coffee. A
most grocious and hospitable host,
he took US on tour Of his home.
His trophy room was most inter
esting. In glass cases are all of his
most cherished mementos, including
decorations by almost every govern
ment in the world. Among his
treasures is a sword given him by
the king Of Saudi Arabia, it's scab-
bard covered with jewels, including
diamond as big as a quarter.
Mr.. Eisenhower told us that when
the king gave him the sword he
made no mention of the costly jewels,
but said the most valuable part Of it
was the steel in its blade. It has
been in possession Of the kings fam
lily for centuries.
Frederick County's application for
funds for current school expenses
has been approved by the U. S. Of
flee Of Education, have been mott
| fed. The money viii come from
the amount set aside in the approp-
priation bill recently approved by
Congress and the President
Those of us who were instrumental
in securing approval of these funds
are pleased that part of them will be
put to- such good use in a crowded
area.
Along the Capitol corridors: De-
bate has been going on, on the House
floor and off, on the ''Tidelands" bill.
The legislation approved by our
Judiciary Committee provides for
states to hold title to land within
three miles of their shores. Beyond
that limit the U. S. would own the
land beneath the seas, but states
could tax the oil companies which
might be working out that far.
Next Wednesday, at the Rotary
Clubs luncheon in Frederick, I'll re-
port on my work in Congress to
date. I'm checking complaints
from Montgomery fountains about
road damage and noise by the anti
aircraft troops and equipment sta
toned near residential areas. :. II

other evening of Bryson Rash on his

French Now Are Stuck
With Ferryboat 0'Brien
BY the Assoeioted Press

MARSEILLE, France, Sept.
17.-French authorities puzzled
today where next to ship Mi
chael Patrick O'Brien, the per-
petual passenger. The man
without a country remained
locked in a cabin on the liner
Bretagne while officials tried to
find some country that would
take him.
O'Brien arrived here yesterday
with the liner after being denied
entry by Brazil, Uruguay, Ar
gentina and Italy. France also
refused to let him land. He
previously had spent almost a
year shutting back and forth
on the Hong Kong Macao ferry
when both China coast colonies
closed their doors to him. The
United States refused to recog-
nize his claim to American citi-
zenship.
O'Brien got aboard the Bre-
tagne after a sponsor offered to
set him up in Brazil. When
the liner arrived at Rio de
Janeiro. the Brazilian govern
ment changed its mind and de-
MED him entry.

The hurricane was in "Hurri-
cane Groove" moving leisurely
northward from the Equator
over the Atlantic Ocean toward
Puerto Rico.
With a 150-mile-an-hour
punch, it lunged westward
straight into the heart of Gulf
Coast city.
1T was a Sd picture of hell"
says Weatherman I. R. Tame
hill, who was there. "The wind
was roaring. The building shook.
We thought it would collapse.
Outside, water was six feet deep
in the streets.
Rain was pouring down. but
a laundry was burning fiercely
and flames flickered Weirdly. We
didn't know whether to jump
and be drowned. or stay and be
burned to death"
Early Fail Worst.
The hurricane season may
start as early as May along the
Gulf and East Coast and may
not end until November. The
worst months usually are Sep
fenher and October.
Mr.. Tannehill, chief of the
Weather Bureaus Forecasts Di-
vision and the author of a book
on hurricanes, estimates about
SO storms of hurricane force
have struck the Eastern United
States in the past 65 years.
He says the most disastrous
probably was the great storm
that struck Galveston. Tex. in
September. 1900. killing 5000
people and causing $40 million
in damage. Other storms have
caused much greater property
damage, notably the one of
September, 1886, that hit Long
Island and roared onward into
New England with an estimated
loss of around $500 million.
Even these are puny killers
compared with hurricanes that
have struck China and India. In
1881 an estimated 100000 per-
sons were drowned near Hong
Kong in a great blow that
brought high tides.
The word hurricane" means
"big wind" Mr.. Tannehill says
it probably comes from the Ian
guage of the Carib Indians. who
were painfully aware of this
great natural terror.
Cover Large Area.
In weatherman's language,
cyclone is a general term de-
scribing whirling wind storms
with low-pressVre area at the
center.
This would include both hur-
ricanes and tornadoes. A hurri-
cane is a large cyclone origi-
mating in the tropics, over water,
while a tornado is a compara-
lively small but violent wind
storm over land.
An average hurricane might
be about the size of the State OF
Ohio, whereas the average tor
nado might not cover much
more than four city blocks.
While rotating at speeds up to
200 miles an hour. hurricanes
frequently die out after reaching
land.
They generally travel faster
the farther north they come. An
average speed in southern lati-
tudes might be from IL to Is
miles per hour. increasing
around New York to 40 or SO.

West Coast Shipyords Lose
Hope Of Building Big Carrier

A third 6O,OO0-ton super
aircraft carrier will be built in
an East Coast shipyard. The
Navy's decision, announced yes
terday, knocked out hopes of
West Coast Congress members
and other interests that the huge
carrier would be built on the
West Coast.
The Navy said no private
shipyard on the Pacific Coast
had the necessary facilities to
build such a warship.
However, the announcement
added that the Puget Sound
shipyard at Bremerton, Wash,
had been assigned the Navy's
other large carrier project for
this fiscal year-conversion of
the 10, ,0O0-tOn Midway.
The estimated cost of the Mid
way conversion is less than one
fifth of the estimated $212 mil
lion for construction of the third
supercarrier.
Officials said only three East
Coast yards were equipped to do
the job-Bethlehem Steel's Fore
River yard at Quincy. Mass, New
York Shipbuilding and Drydock
Co. in Camden, N. j., and the
Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Co.
The Navy announced, mean
while, that it had designed a
flight deck and operating ar
rangements' of it's first super
carrier, the Forrestal, so that it
will be no longer sh-decked as
originally planned. Under the
new design, the ForreStal, now

Gaining Against Hurricanes

ricanes develop in the IDOL
drums" a belt of tropical calm
in the Atlantic and western
Caribbean.
Light Rain is "Seed."
A slight, local weather disturb
ance sometimes appears to
trigger" a hurricane, but
weathermen do not pretend to
know most secrets that surround
the birth of the great winds.
For instance, the storms fire.
quently appear out of an area
OF light showers and warm air.
But there are many such areas
throughout the hurricane spawn
ing grounds and only a fraction
of them produce high winds.
Weathermen know that many
storms start in the doldrums
belt off the northern coast of
South America. When a light
rain occurs in this area, the
atmospheric pressure may begin
to fall and very gradual inflow
of air begins to take place.
If it were not for the rotation
Of the earth, the winds prob
ably would blow straight to the
center of the storm area. But
the rotation of the earth starts
the breeze whirling. setting up
a cyclone. 1t may spread quickly
over thousands of square miles
and erupt into violent intensity.
Winds may reach a speed of
20 miles an hour, whirling
around and around. The whirl-
ing mass of air generally moves
gradually northWard and west
ward, frequently heading from
the Atlantic toward q region
around Puerto Rico.
Path UnpredictabIe.
Nobody can foretell with ac-
curacy the path of a hurricane
far in advance. They weave and
dodge like prize fighter toward
an adversary and seeking to de-
liver a Knockout punch. Some
times they move in great circle
on the sea causing little dam
age. Others roar inland, bounce
out to sea again and return to
land to wreak more damage.
Mr.. Tannehill estimates the
most intense hurricane ever to
strike the United States hit the
Florida Keys in September, 1885.
1t was only about IS miles in
width, but it was estimated the
winds Whirled at 200 mph. More
than 400 persons were killed;
water overf1oWed the keys and
destroyed 30 miles of railroad.
Modern methods of reporting
hurricanes have cut down the
death toll and damage. The bu-
reau maintains a special hurri-
cane teletype circuit. AS a/hur-'
ricane usually moves at a rate
of 10 or II miles an hour, a close
watch can be kept and warnings
issued.
A hurricane struck Florida on
october 5, 1948. and for the first
time in the States history a
"big blow occurred without a
single death. Injuries also are
fewer because many buildings in
the hurricane belt have been
built to withstand storm pres
