An organized effort is under
way to bring to Washington the
United States rowing trials for
the 1856 Olympic Games in Aus

yesterday when a group Of
rowing. business and other in

resentative Broyhill of Virginia
at the House Office Building.
Another meeting Of the group
will be held shortly when repre-

convention was 1905, with a

Some of the members of the
National Committee enthusiast
tically took the view of Chairman
Hall-that President Eisenhower
viii run next year. Those who
expressed this opinion also said
they believed the President would
find himself we'll and able to
campaign next year and to serve
another four-year term. The
impelling reason for the decision
to run. they said. would be the
need for President Eisenhower
as a world leader and as a leader
in the United States.
Few of the committee members
were willing to discuss potential
candidates in the
event Eisenhower does not run.
Members of the committee
from States holding early pri-
for example New Hamp-
shire and Minnesota. are some
what perturbed. They would like
to enter Mr.. Eisenhower's name.

Elk Hills Oil Proposal
Gets Cool Reception

The Standard Oil Co. of Cali
fornia has proposed that it dis
solve its contract with the Navy
involving Elk Hills tCalif.l oil
rights, but it appeared today
that it had run up against a
stone wall on Capitol Hill.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee said
he did not think the PROPOSE
tion a good deal" A high Navy
source said the department was
powerless to change "eyen a
comma" in such a contract with

proval.
Briefly, Standard proposed
that it take its one-third share
of the oil in the vast reserve
from the shallow portion now,
leaving the deeper pool to the
Navy.

like to buy itself out Of the unit

Generally speaking. the COM
ments made by Chairman Hall
Immediately following his As
minute conference with President
Eisenhower at Gettysburg on
Monday are serving to quiet
speculation as to what President
Eisenhower Will announce re-
gardine his political plans and
when he will do 1t. The commit
teemen, while devoutly hoping
that the President will run. seem
entirely willing to give President
Eisenhower all the time he may
need to reach decision in this
matter. They do not believe he
should be "pressured," either to
become a candidate or to make
an early announcement one way
or the other.

tabolism of the mass of people, and
also, by the smoke pollution is quite
noticeable. In most cities we can at
least attribute a temperature rise of
| degree to 2 degrees during the winter
to these artificial causes.
For the natural changes we have to
look toward other data. For the last
so or go years these come from local
tiles which have remained essentially
untouched by the influence of modern
living. These remote observat0rieS and
weather stations tell the real story.
This story is interesting enough, but
it is not sensational If we compare the
mean temperatures of the last two or
three decades with those of the outgoing
nineteenth century we find a rising
trend in almost all localities i'm the mod
crate ATTITUDES of the northern hemis-
phere. 1t averages about degrees;
most of it during the winter months.
There is a decrease in snow cover In
Dictated in the records For example,
in the eastern United States there are
fewer winds from the north and more
from the west. Cloudiness has increased
also. All this is possibly brought about
by speedier circulation of the air i'm
some areas of the middle ATTITUDES.
This warning trend, which was quite
rapid in the 1905 has slowed q little,
but there is no sign of a reversal yet
We do not know whether this is part OF
a long periodic fluctuation or whether
the earth is completely slipping out of
the ice age and back to the tropical
conditions in which once the coal-form-
ing forests flourished
We have mostly talked about tenn
peratures. The reason for this is that
there are at least, some trends which
can be filtered out of the records. AS re-
CARDS precipitation, the other weather
element vital to human pursuits, the
year to year changes are quite violent
In some regions it is not at all unusual
to have in one year only two-thirds of
the average rainfall only to be followed
by a year which has 80 or even so per-
cent more than average. In such short
term fluctuations the long term trends
are all but lost
We might compare it to the choppy
seas tossed up by hurricane. In them
the long swells and tides are not dis
cernible. Thus while we can still olsen
tangle temperature trends over a 30
year period, rainfall fluctuations from
year to year are too large to permit
discovery of trends within a human
lifetime. Over periods of century or
more we can begin to get some ideas.
In those cases we run short of reliable
in most areas of the world
and may have to wait few more de-
,ades before the answers are available.
In summary: We have climatic
changes in a lifetime. Tn our regions
Turing the past few decades there has
been Slight warming trend. Tn margin
al areas this trend has been more no
iceable and led to expansion of plant
cover in areas where snow and ice are
'eceding. We do not know if this is part
# a larger cycle, but we can be sure
hat the year to year fluctuations of
weather. are much larger than the long
erm trends. Research to resolve the

Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-01-01

question ssHow much is it changing?"
is more difficult to answer. And finally
the question s'Why is it changing?" has
barely been tackled.
Large-scale changes of climate are
an historical fact. Evidence from the
cons of geological evolution on earth
show that present polar regions once
held tropical vegetation and fauna,
while in other eraS places In southern
ATTITUDES were covered by ice. 1T is be-
tween those two extremes that the eli
mate of the earth pendulates during
time intervals measured in millions of
years.
The middle ATTITUDES are just emerg-
ing from the last glaciation which had
its peak only ten to twenty thousand
years ago. Most of us have only very
remote, academic interest in what hap
pened at times when humans first ap-
peared on the earth. We want to know
what is happening right at present. Our
concern is with the events of lifetime,
that is, few decades only.
During such an interval the changes
are small indeed. This is not surprising
if we figure that drop in the mean
temperatures of only 10 degrees in our
regions would lead to another ice age.
Tt took ten thousands of years in the
past for such large changes to occur.
That means the rate of change for a
short interval such as decade would
be too small for notice
Ever since the Inauguration of syste-
matte weather observations meteor
ologists have been analyzing the records
in search for the slow changes. In the
United States few of these records
now go back to the end of the eighteenth
century. A few stations in Europe can
boast of uninterrupted observations for
a few decades longer
AT first glance it would seem that
these records should give us some good
clues. Unfortunately, we are not that
lucky. For the early years the observa-
tons were suffering from unstandard-
lied equipment In some instances the
place of observations was shifted sew
eral times. Even if station stayed i'm
the same town or city, because of micro
climatic differences, a change of only
100 feet in elevation in the exposure of
the instruments would constitute seri-
GUS break i'm the continuity of records.
Most serious of all is the slow insidi-
GUS change caused by the growth of
city and by the increased industriaIiza-
ton. These produce a man-made cIi-
mate, which in some instances is mask
ing the naturally occurring changes.
Most of our long meteorological records
have been kept in cities which have
multiplied manifold over the last CEN
fury.
Take as an example New Haven,
Conn. tt has the longest uninterrupted
weather record of any city in the United
States. IT started In 1880 when New
Haven was town of about 1000 The
1850 census showed nearly 165,0O0 per-
sons there. Other cities had an even
more rapid rate of growth. The change
in climate brought about by the shift
from natural forests and fields to stone
and asphalt. by the heat produced from
