New Technique Ends
Much Guesswork in
Weather Forecastinu

Weathermen from across the
Nation met here today to hear
about a mechanical brain"
technique that eliminates much
Of the guesswork from forecast
ing.
"It represents quite a jump"
said Comdr. Daniel F. Rex, Navy
meteorologist and chairman of
the three-day Workshop in Nu-
merical Weather Prediction. "You
might say it puts us 10 years
ahead"
The by-the-numbers method
employs a computing machine.
From data fed into it, it fore
casts the wind movement.
Weathermen now predict wind
fields for themselves.
Same Answer Both Times.
"Given the same data, two
meteorologists might give you
two answers" Comdr. Rex said.
"The machine will give you the
same answer both times"
"The machine never says fair
and warmer and so on" he said.
Humans still must interpolate
the results of the wind. But
given precise information not
subject to human errors, a wea-
therman can more accurately
predict precipitation and the
like, Comdr. Rex said.
He said the workshop lecturers
will emphasize that the machine
won't do away with human fore
casters. Instead, it will take a
load off them and give them
better information from which
to work.
New Setup Announced.
He said a new forecasting Of
flee, called the Joint Numerical
Weather Prediction Unit, will go
into business July l at the Gen.
sus Bureau in Suitland. Md.
It will be sponsored by the
Weather Bureau, Navy and Air
Force, and will be the country's
first such unit.
DR.. julie Charney Of the 1nsti-
tute for Advance Study, Prince
ton, N. j., opened the lecture
series today. He has been doing
research on numerical predic-
ton since 1947.
First Meeting of Kind.
The workshop was organized
by the District Of Columbia
Chapter Of the American Me-
neurological Society. It is the
first meeting of its kind in the
United States.

laboratory space.
Other speakers include DR..

toms Advanced Study Institute;

matician; DR.. George P. Cress-

Tuesday Election
Was Close Race
Outside of South

WASHINGTON, R-Democrats
outvoted Republicans by more
than 1,75O,0OO in Tuesdays cleo
ton with the usual big assist from
the South.
Excluding Democratic Dixie, the
party division reflects more clear
ly the dramatic tightness of the
struggle for control of Congress-
a struggle in which shift of a
few thousand votes either way in
key spots could have swung it to
the COP or given the Democrats
more solid majorities in Senate
and House.
For the Democrats rolled up
only about 371,OOO more votes
than the Republicans outside the
South
That's on the basis Of incom-
plete unofficial returns compiled
by the Associated Press.
They show that:
Nationally, the Democrats har-
vested 21,849,811 votes, the Re-
publicans 2O,O99,32 for total of
41,949, 1879 and Democratic edge
of 1,750,483.
Outside the South, the Demo-
Gratis drew 19,S23,519 votes, the
Republicans 19,451, 674-a differ
ence of 37O,845 in a total of 3d.
276,193.
The unofficial tabulations show
that so far 42,O27,397 votes have
been counted throughout the
country-a bit short of the record
42,462,082 established for a nom
presidential election year in 1850.

Eisenhower Vetoes
Chiefs Proposal
On Far East Policy

WASHINGTON, tR-The Wash
ington Post and Times Herald
said today President Eisenhower
OVERRIDE a 81 recommendation
from the Joint Chiefs of Staff that
would have authorized American
air attack on the Chinese main
land to prevent a Communist
landing On Nationalist Quemoy.
The papers said the joint chiefs
recommendation had the backing
of Secretary of State Dulles.
The copyrighted story by Chal-
mers M. Roberts said the Presi-
dents veto was exercised at the
extraordinary meeting of the Ma
tional Security Council in Denver
Sept r. That was nine days after
Red artillery on the mainland
opened up with a 6,000-s shell bar
rage against Chang Kai-Shek
forces on the island only seven
miles away.
The article says also that the
Quemoy affair spurred the Presi-
dent to renewed efforts to find a
way out OF the impasse of Ameri-
can policy in the Far East. 1t adds
that the situation lies behind the
strong accent on the search for
peace which has appeared in re-
cent Eisenhower statements on
foreign policy.
The Smelling of Quemoy led
Washington to believe that the
Communists were softening up
the Nationalist outpost for a pos
sible landing.
The Post and Times-Herald ar
ticle says one quick result was
Pentagon permission for Chiang's
air force to bomb attacking artil-
lery and search out and attack
any troop and shipping concentra-
tons in the Quemoy area.
