To-day. as In Marx Twains
time. everyone talks about the
weather. Today. however. It is
no longer true that no one does
anything about it. Scientists all
over the world are trying to do
just that. and with some evidence
Of success.
Or. Edward Teller. father Of the
H-bomb. recently warned the
Senate Preparedness Subcommit-
tee Of the danger to this country
should Russia achieve mastery Of
weather first. He painted .
frightening picture Of a Russia
with weather control, using RAIN
fall to weaken and conquer us.
Asked how soon the Russians
might acquire mastery Of weather,
DR.. Teller said II must say that /
personally would not be surprised
If In q short time like I'VE years
they would succeed in doing
something quite substantial.
Commenting on DR.. Teller's
testimony. Senator Margaret
Cha Sc Smith. Republican Of
Maine. noted that when she was
in Russia two years ago she saw
a display at a Moscow agricul-
tural fair Of what the Russians
claimed they could do in the line
of weather control in converting
frigid barren areas into tropical
areas" She said that she no
longer doubted these claims.
Is basic research in meteorology
and related fields bringing man
close to mastery Of weather? Are
the Russians ahead of us? What
are the chances of weather modi-
fication being used as a military
weapon? How can modification
affect the future history of man?
All Sides Even
Many Of this country's top
meteorologists are agreed that
meteorologistS in all countries are
now at approximately the same
level Of achievement In their
weather control work.
These men, among whom are
DR.. Harry Wexler, chief of Re-
search for the u. s. Weather
Bureau; Mr.. Jerome Namias, chief
Of long-range weather forecast
ing; Mr.. Ferguson Hall, assistant
to DR.. Wexler and an expert on
notwithstanding, and DR.. Joseph
Smagorinsky, director Of the
General Circulation Project on
weather prediction, say that be-
fore weather control must come
weather understanding and pre- .
diction. And in research on
weather prediction, they believe,
the Russians may be about where
we are.
We may have the edge on them,
however, in our General Circula-
ton Project. which is aimed at
extended or long-range weather
forecasting. This project is the
brainchild Of the late DR.. John
Won Neumann, friend and asso-
ciate Of Albert Einstein and at
one time a member Of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
At the end Of World War II, DR..
Won Neumann, a mathematician.
began research on the use of high
speed electronic computers in the
study of atmospheric dynamics.
His work resulted In several prof.
ects using computers in weather
research in the late 1905. And
less than three years ago, the
GCP, which DR.. Won Neumann
designed, was set up in the United
States Weather Bureau under DIR.
Smagorinsky. q meteorologist.
The purpose Of the GCP is to
reduce natures weather processes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-09

clouds and cloud seeding, believes
with his colleagues that for the
present. at least. man cannot hope
to compete directly with nature.
Efforts ct weather modification
should, therefore, be made by
working with nature rather than
opposing her. and by attempting
to AFFECT her weaker movements
in the hope that the chain re-
action viii bring about the desired
result, whether it be rain or the
prevention Of q hurricane.
One approach to weather modi-
flcation would cause the warming
Of jce-bound areas by blackening
the snow or ice with SCOT to in
crease heat absorption. Most ex.
perts are Of the opinion that it is
not possible to affect weather
significantly by this method.
(However. the Russians. who are
vitality interested in warming UP
some Of their polar regions in
order to expand land for agri-
culture. have done more extensive
experimentation in this field. This
may be what the Russians were
talking about when Senator Smith
visited Moscow
In another approach, sealing
substances are poured over small
ocean areas. lakes and rivers, to
prevent evaporation. This seal
ing" also affects temperature.
However, to do this on q scale
large enough to affect weather is
not considered practical by most
meteorologists.
Small Amount Spent
The report of the Committee on
Meteorology noted that less than
So million was spent last year on
meteorological research, most of
it for relatively small project
type efforts"
The committee favors estab-
lishment Of a national institute
Of atmospheric research so that
research facilities on a scale de-
manded by the global nature Of
meteorology could be made per-
manently available to universities,
research institutions, and the
Weather Bureau.
The establishment Of such an
institute would require a capital
investment Of $50 million over five
years and an annual budget Of
approximately SIS million at the
end Of the five years, according
to the report.
The committee did not try to
Justify its recommendations on a
military level. declaring "it is not
necessary to raise the specter of
the use of weather control as q
weapon to justify more at
tention to meteorological research,
since it can be amply justified on
other grounds"
Some of the projects to which
meteorologiStS would give high
priority include the development
and testing Of more powerful and
versatile cloud-seeding techniques
that could decrease as well as in
crease rain or snow producing
crystals. This might result in
knowledge that would enable us
to prevent flash floods and similar
catastrophes.
There have been suggestions, as
yet INFESTED. Of controlling clouds
by electricity and even Of prevent
ing buildup Of dangerous electro
cal charges as in lightning in
thunderstormS. This idea appears
feasible theoretically, but it awaits
experimentation and testing.
The use Of nuclear energy in
polar regions to create ice-fog
which would, in turn, affect sun
radiation and thus provide con-
troll over sun energy for the pur-
pose Of valuable research and
study is now theory on paper
which experts believe should be
explored.
