land entrance is by a SINGLE
gauge railway whose rails
throughout the rainy season
are as much as three feet
under water. Still the train
runs, but the engineers are
not quite certain whether it
is a train or a boat most Of
the time.
The Cuban survey party is
attempting to retrace in part
the trail of a Navy Hydro
graphic Office survey of about
80 years ago upon which ex-
listing maps largely are based.
Many of the Navy markers,
the engineers say, now are
many feet under barracuda
infested waters, so that it is
necessary to use native divers
to locate them.
The worlds tallest jungle
looms impenetrably in the
path of the engineers en-
gagged in mapping the Amer
icas.
1t is a region Of several
hundred square miles Of
dense rain forest extending
inland from the Pacific be-
tween the Colombian fishing
towns of Tumaco and Guapi.
an essential link in the
triangulation program for
northwestern South America.
The trees in this strip are
from ITS to 200 feet high. 1t
is literally impossible. the en-
gineers say. to establish tri-
angulation stations. There
are no hilltops, such as have
proved lifesavers in other
parts Of the dense Colombian
jungle. Observation towers
have proved impractical.
Those available are only a
little more than 100 feet high.
They can be extended with
anything like safety for per-
sonnet only to about $50 feet.
The ordinary procedure
is to maintain lights on high
points and determine accu-
rately the distances between
them. Here there are no ele-
waited points-onlyi a solid
green ocean of treetopS
underneath reconnaissance
planes with no distinguish
able landmarks.
Special instrument Used
Latest attempts to solve
the problem are with the
tellurometer, a surveying in
strument recently developed
in South Africa. with which
distances can be measured
by radio waves. If this proves
successful, say the engineers,
the methods may be applied
in other difficult areas and
considerably more precise
large-Scale maps produced
than has been possible in
the past. Determinations,
however, must be made
entirely with data on the ex-
tremely minute time required
for radio waves. moving with
the speed of light, to travel
between two fixed points.
This is quite possible in
physical laboratories with
elaborate equipment but this
work must be done under
about the most difficult field
conditions possible.
The area is not difficult to
enter because of several navi-
gable rivers. It is almost i'm
possible, however. to leave one
of these rivers for much more
than a few yards. Reconnais-
sance parties with saws and
axes can proceed only a few
feet a day in their efforts to
set up helicopter landing
strips inside the jungle. This
work is being directed by one
Of the most colorful Of the or
ganization's Jungle en-.
gineers," Peter Rosiak.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

1t is a good idea. really, for
elder citizens to wear two
pairs Of socks at once, the
first cotton or some such ma
terial, and the second wool.
The layer Of air between
the two helps a great deal.
This fine old gentleman
stood there. in the bitter
wind whipping up from the
river. and made q good
speech.
From time to time he
coughed.
Several days later, we read
that he had died Of pneu-
monia, and we knew. alas,
where he had caught it.
So II you 60 around the
Monument, 60 well wrapped
UP. and shelter yourself from
the wind which blows harder
directly at the base than 1t
does out IN the park.
There is a certain type Of
GOODNESS associated with all
such places.
Sometimes one is likely to
think that 1t Is the sweep Of
wind that makes for cold
ness, and no doubt It does,
in a sense, but the real rea-
SON is Q sort Of mystery.
The corner ct Nineteenth
and I streets. for instance.
seems in no particular diff
ferent from the corner at
Twentieth and I streets. and
yet 1t Is twice as cold, even
on q MINDLESS day.

Keeping the lower legs

is one Of the great secrets Of
being warm in the cold.
On the ski course, it may be
necessary to wear three or
four suits Of long underwear.
but in q city such multiplicity
is unnecessary.
II the legs are warm, the
rest will be helped, especially
II the shoulders and neck are
mufhed.
, Longies still are q solution,
some may think.
A single lady Of this town
asked q married one, TELL
me, don't men wear anything
in winter except these shorts

The married one laughed.

band wears long underwear,

A playground within walking

goal of the city recreation pro-

Of Taft Recreation Center, last

Mr.. Brooks also cited the
social, intellectual and athletic
aspects of the program ate the
Taft Recreation Center, and
urged greater participation and
interest from civic associations
in using the center, sponsoring
