Procedure Undecided
There were a number of other
uncertainties The commission
did not know how long the hear

ing to decide on exact rules of
procedure.
Generally. the commission
seemed to be ready to play it by
ear. Chairman George E. C.
Hayes said the TydingS group
would start by presenting its case
and then be questioned by AS
sistant Corporation Counsel
Lloyd B. Harrison.
After that. any members of the
audience may ask questions if
the commission thinks they are
proper and helpful-each ques-

Thunder's Summer Fury Marks A New
World Map For Scientific Studies

Ice crystals cap the cloud. but
in its middle water drops grow
heavy enough to overcome the up
draft and fall. They drag cool air
with them, the cold gust that
blows out from the skirts of the
storm. Rain pours down-110,000
tons of it across eight square miles
in the average storm. But only one
in nine potential raindrops actually
reaches ground. Most evaporate.
Others may be flung back up the
chimney to freeze before falling
again. Repeated trips up and down
can build hail-stones as big as
SoftballS.
Vertical currents inside the thun-
derstorms are often strong enough
to rip an airplane apart, tossing it
thousands of feet in a minute The
greatest violence occurs $4,000 to
25,000 feet in the air.
Massive charges of electricity
form inside the thundercloud. Air
insulates, but only until the ten
sion grows too high. Then an in
visible trail opens from cloud to
cloud or to the earth, and back up
that trail gigantic jolt of power
flows. Air blazes into fiery light
ming and sends out sharp sound
waves-thunder.
How this cracking dynamo
works is scarcely understood, even
$50 years after Ben Franklin's
time. But scientists say that light
ming, flashing between earth and
clouds continuously recharges ma
lures electrical system.
Lightning, in addition, combines
nitrogen and oxygen in the air in
to priceless fertilizer for the soil.
Rain washes it down. An estimated
100 million tons of usable plant
food is thus produced each year,
far more than all the fertilizer man
makes.
Being in the path of an earth
to-sky spark-that is, struck by
lightning" means split second
electrocution. In a summer storm,
don't lift a metal-shafted golf club
or seek shelter under tall tree,
for they make ideal electrical path
ways. A ditch, ravine or cave is
preferable to solitary hut on a,

Washington = Science is stalk

summer skies with jagged light
and rolling sound.
Still only half understood, these
black booming deluges of sultry
afternoons are among natures
most fascinating phenomena, the
National Geographic Society says.
They generate electricity and
spread fertilizer. They hurl ice
balls and stab fire.
For ten years United States air,
navy, and weather scientists have
studied such storns-often from
inside out. This summer the United

An average thunderstorm releas-

column of gently rising air, warm,

lus cloud.

ing warmth, if conditions are just

MacArthur still says he favor ed Russian participation inn mediately after Pearl Harbor, cooled off on it by 1914 when things were going to suit him in his own war, and was mere ly pursuing the Yalta verdict in his reference to Russian en- try thereafter.
 The Pentagon report doesn't show that he was asked or gave his advice directly in connec- tion with Yalta, as the Demo crats implied, and he says he wasn't and didn't.
 As for what he might have said had he been asked, we have his word that he didn't want Russia then. and you can't go behind that. The record shows other military leaders were warming up and then cool ling off about Russian partici- patton from time to time, too.
 HindSight frequently inter feres with what historians se- lect as the most pertinent part of given record, as we'll as with personal recollections of attitudes at given times. That makes humans, but not liars out of those involved.
 All we can be sure of is that if Russia had done what she was going to do anyway, with out allied approval if necessary the world would have had mo- tice, a year or so before it did, of what it should have known all the time about her postwar intentions.

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts A. P. News Analyst

The Pentagon report and Gen. Douglas MacArthur's re- ply leave us just where we were, with regard to Russian participation in the Japanese war and the price paid for it by the allies.
 The fact is that Roosevelt and Churchill acted on military advice in trying to get Russia into the war. The price they paid, in territory that wasn't theirs and concessions of Chi nese rights without consulting China, can be argued about all night.
 The military reports and MacArthur's statements do in- dicate that many believed Rus sia would enter the war and take what she wanted regard less of the concessions, and that if the allied leaders were giving away something they didn't own, they also were giving away something Russia was going to have anyway.
 The implication, by omission of some of the facts, that Rus 3sia entered only at the last mo- naent to seize unearned bene- fits after failing to relay Jap ans surrender feelers to the allies. is a distortion.
 Russia, for her own reasons, didn't relay news of the Jap amese feelers, and it is quite possible she didn't want peace before she could get to the Sront. But she did enter the Far Eastern war three months after the German surrender, as she had agreed.
 The main failure of the all lied leaders was in ignoring the fact that the thing for which Russia asked their approval were part of a formula, made blatantly public over a long period of years, for conmun- ist conquest of all Asia.
 As for the political gandbits of the MacArthur-D Democratic dispute over pre-Yalta and post t-Yalta details, neithre side seems to have made much hay
