BY PHIL YEAGER
and JOHN STARK

President Eisenhower's Com
nittee on Weather Control has
reported that it is not only pos
sible but feasible to increase
rainfall by about II per cent.
In addition, the committee in
dicates that it may become pos
sible to control or modify hail
storms, lightning. squalls, tor
nadoes and so on.
Probably nobody is going to
complain about the latter
category of activities, but Curl
ously enough rain-making can
raise quite a bit of hob with
human relations. The difficulty
of course, arises when rain is
unceremoniously dumped on
somebody who doesn't want it
or in an area where it was not
intended to fall.
For example. Suppose a farmer
has his tomato crop flooded by a
rain-making neighbor who needs
lots of water for his corn. Sup
pose the customers at a vaca-

Lawsuits have already arisen
over cases just such as these and

Maybe the rain-maker doesn't
intend to produce as much rain
as he does, nor to dump it on
the tomatoes or the fishing lodge.
But is he liable for damages?
Was his act the "proximate
cause" of the damage, and how
do you prove it?
And if the clouds were seeded,
say, over Michigan and the rain
fell in Ohio, whose law would
apply? Michigan's or Ohio's? Or
are seeded clouds a part of Gin

AS yet there is no established
legal doctrine on rain-making
Possibly this will become an

Americas phenomenal church
building boom is a topic that
has become increasingly i'm
portant to -churchmen. They
are discussing the kind OF
churches that should be built
Ito meet modern demands. both
spiritual and unitarian.
The subject received major
attention at the annual National
Joint Conference on Church
Architecture at Atlanta. at
tended by more than 400 experts
THE meeting was sponsored by
the Church Architectural Guild
of America and the Bureau OF
Church Buildings of the National
Council of Churches.
Speakers estimated that q
record 5000 million would be
spent this year on new church
construction. They predicted
that more than 81 billion will
lbe put into new church buildings
during the next 10 years.
Construction Still Rising
At present, one expert said
American churches are spending
more than o third Of their in
come for new buildings and the
Iremodeling Of existing ones to
meet present-day needs.
A report issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, a.
the conference opened, showed
that in the first two months OF
| the year church construction to-
tailed $113 million a gain Of I
per cent over last year.
DIR. C. Harry Atkinson Of New
York, executive director Of the
National Councils bureau. esti-
mated prior to the meeting that
70, 900 new churches and syna-
gogues will be erected within the
next 10 years. In addition, he
said, 1880 other church build
|ings will be constructed in the
same period.
DR.. Arland A. Dirlam Of Bos-
ton, former president Of the
Church Architectural Guild, told
the conference that the tremen-
dous volume of spending on new
church construction is playing q
major role in the American econ
omy. DR.. Dirlam had some per-
tinent things to say about the
continuing trend toward con-
temporary, or modern, styling in
church architecture.
Many Offer Innovations
One reason for this trend. he
said. is "the flight to the
suburbs" where churchgoers
prefer churches that are not
only less expensive than tradi-
tional types, but meet cultural
and recreational, as well Of
religious. needs.
MANY new churches are in

The innovations he mentioned
are only a few examples Of what

shops for the benefit Of older
age church members. Many
churches now have baby sitting
rooms for the convenience Of
mothers who otherwise might
mot be able to attend.
This was the second consecu-
tive year that modern designs
took all top awards Of the annual
competition sponsored by the
Church Architectural Guild. Not
la single Gothic or Colonial style
was given a prize. However, it
was noted that the winnings

Atmosphere Of worship
According to DR.. Dirlam, chair
man Of the awards jury, the
winning designs were not strain

caught the atmosphere Of wor-

Architect Albert c. Woodruff
lof Greensboro, N. c., declared
that the key question in regard
to any new place of worship is:
