You can look for q general
change in our weather, bring
ing:
0 Colder winters.
. Cooler and wetter summers.
Q Fewer hurricanes battering
the East Coast and New Eng
land.
Q Perhaps fewer tornadoes
ripping into Northern States.
These long-range predictions
come from Prof. Hurd c. Will
lett, meteorologist Of the Mas
sachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology.
He finds evidence we are at
the end of a warming-up Pc
riod that extended over the
last 40 years, from about 1915
to the present.
The 40 years before that,
from about 1875 to 1915, had
been wetter and cooler, making
grandpop right in his declara-
ton that our winters aren't
what they used to be.
For the next 40 years, Prof.
Willett says, we should be
going back to cooler, wetter
weather, in a slow change.
But it probably will not be as
cold and wet as the 1875
1915 period.
Prof. Willett bases this upon
statistical analyses of weather
and trends over a large section
of the northern hemisphere.
Ups-and-downs, or short
cycles, can and do occur within
q long-term 40-year trend.
Recently there has been one
such shorter period of warmer
weather occurring within the
long-term warming trend.
A change to cooler weather
will be one factor making the
East Coast less a hurricane
target than it has been re-
Gently, he continues.
1888 Hurricane
In 1898. New England was
hit by its first super hurricane
within a century. Since then
there has been a siege of de-
structive hurricanes along the
East Coast and the Northeast.
They've been more destruc-
tive than anything on the rec
ords for that area. This
doesn't necessarily mean
they've been stronger blows.
The storms now have more
concentrated, more expensive
targets of buildings and in
stallations to strike than they
had so to 100 years ago.
Over the last 10 years, hurri-
canes have shifted in their
path. While they used to go
through the Gulf Coast area,
lately they have tended to
strike more at the Northeast.
Warmer general weather
and a large-scale change in
general wind patterns are re-
sponsible. Now Prof. Willett
expects the wind patterns to
change back to their previous
status. Ocean surface tenn
peratures also have been
warmer than before, rejecting
the same wind and ocean sys-
TENS associated with hurricane
paths.
Tornadoes may also become
fewer, because the same
changes in wind circulation
that favors hurricanes have
affected tornadoes.
The year 1854 was q bad one

TRANSIT
Come Back, Lou,
All Is Forgiven,
Legislators Say

Outll ldSI WCCh 0Oulo ~
Wolfson, controlling owner of
the Capital Transit Co., had
been generally regarded as
completely uninterested in
staying in business here after
next August IA, when the CTC
franchise is to die by act OF
4 Congress. On Wednesday,
however, his hard-bitten etc
president, j. A. B. Broadwater.
stepped up to tell Congress
exactly what conditions
would be required to interest
the company in continuing.
Essentially, Mr.. Broadwater
wanted q large measure OF
freedom from control by the
District Public Utilities Com
mission. In addition to the
tax relief and other conces-
sions the city has been ready
to give any successor COM
pany, he wanted etc to set
its own fares so long as the
company's rate Of return on
its investment does not eX-
coed 7 per cent.
Mr.. Broadwater made his
statement orally to the trans
portation subcommittee of the
House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, which
asked him to put it in writing.
The resulting document went
to the Hill as the week ended.
Its basic content, however.
was detailed in bills introduced
Thursday by Representatives
John L. Mcmillan, Democrat
of South Carolina. and Joel T.
Broyhill, Republican from
nearby Virginia. The former
is chairman and the latter a
minority member of the House
District Committee.
Optimistic News
Representative John Bell
Williams, Democrat of Missis-
sippi, and acting chairman OF
the Commerce subcommittee,
called it an Optimistic" de-
velopment because it gave
Congress three alternatives on
transit instead of two.
The first alternative is pro-
posal from the District Com
missioners to operate WASH
ington's transit system under
public ownership. The idea
has been given a cold reception
in both the House subcommit-
tee and the Senate District
Committee.
The other alternative is a
proposal by Max M. Kampel-
man to set up a new all-bus
company on behalf Of Mime
apolis clients who are pre-
pared to invest 81 million.
They would control the COM
pany and manage it through
B. M. Larrick, vice president
and general manager of the
Twin City Rapid Transit Co.
Mr.. Kampelman's ability to
get buses is diminishing daily,
though, and he now promises
only partial operation at the
beginning, although he points
out that August is a slow
month anyway.
Also, the District Commits
sioners have turned down his
request for a 81 million Gov
eminent loan guarantee to
backstop his financing plans.
Last Tuesday they refused to
change their position after re-
considering it at the House
subcommittee request, unless
Congress should insist. BY
weeks end Congress had not
insisted, and still faced the
responsibility of picking which,
ever idea it finds least distaste-

What Is
"UrbiCuIture"7

''Urbiculture" is newly coined word.
Just as ''agriculture" refers to farms and
farmers. SO ''urbiculture" means care Of
cities and city people. Below are exam

painting, building cleaning and increased light
ing drains about SIS billion year from the city mans
wallet. 1t has become such serious problem nation
wide, that the President fit to mention it in his
1855 State of the Union Message And it's too big
problem for any one city to cope with.
But you search the entire structure of the Federal
Government and find less time, research and money
being expended on the fight against smog than the
Department of Agriculture spends in battling the gypsy
moth, pest that destroys more than $500 600 worth
of timber year. And the smog problem will continue
to receive cavalier treatment in Washington long
there is at the cabinet level representing the city
man - unless, of course its pail spreads out the
countryside and begins affecting hogs well people
The custom today in the Federal Government is to
appoint commission to study, create an agency to
handle, whatever urban problems concern ourselves

and what's worse they're also the sepchildren Of gov
