First Radar
Weather Units
AreDeIdyed
Set at Airport Il
Won't Be Ready
For hurricanes
BY AL ALIBRANDO
Star stan Writer

The first long-range, wealth
er-detectine radar units. origi-
nally scheduled for installation
at Washington National Air
port and along the East Coast
several months ago. won't be
in operation for the hurricane
season.
The Weather Bureau an
nounced on August /, 1856. the
250-mile units would begin ar
irving from the manufacturer
early in 1858. So far, none
has been delivered.
"There have been manufac-
turing problems" said a
Weather Bureau spokesman.
We've also had some delay in
obtaining money for installa-
tion."
The Weather Bureau expects
to have the first unit operating
in a few months. But the Ma
tional Airport weather station.
which probably will receive the
first set, does not hope to be
operating it until after the
hurricane season-June is
through October-is over.
Improvement Seen
Reinhart C. Schmidt, mete-
orologist in charge of the air.
port weather station, said the
new equipment, developed and
manufactured by Raytheon,
would greatly improve weather
forecasting.
Our present equipment has
a top range of about 100 miles
and was built for aircraft de-
lection" he said. Actually, it
was designed to eliminate
weather disturbances from its
readings, he added.
Rainfall Predictions
The new unit also will make
it possible to determine how
much rain is falling.
"We hope to be able to de-
termine what the runoff will
be and thus predict foods" Mr..
Schmidt said.
One of the advantages of the
new radar will be its ability to
penetrate to the eye Of up.
preaching hurricanes. The To-
cation and shape of the storms
eye frequently are clues to its
direction.
;'Our present equipment does
not even completely cover the
Chesapeake Bay area" said
Mr.. Schmidt, but the new
unit will make it possible for
us to see well out into the
Atlantic Ocean and deep into
surrounding States. In the
case of a hurricane. picking it
up $50 to 300 miles out will
permit us to give 21a times as
much advance notice"
The Weather Bureau now
has two long-range units, one
on Cape Hatteras and one on
Nantucket, for hurricane de-
lection and observation. These
units, modified military equip
ment, have a range of about
$50 miles.
The new radar unit at Wash
ington National Airport will be
tone of 80 operated by the
Weather Bureau and the Navy
in a network stretching from
Maine, around the Gulf of
Mexico to Brownsville, Tex.

who argued that the best way
to break UP the steady, con.
centrated foods Of home-to-
work and work -to-home traffic
is to spread out the places
people work.
But John A. Derry. chief OF
the Aces construction division,
said his agency's new location
at y Germantown, Nd, has
created a severe problem for
transit riders.
Inadequate Service
Most Of the Aces $500 EN-
Iployes. he explained, drive to
work. And for them--aS Mr..
AvrutiS suggested - problems
are reduced. But aout $50 en-
'ployes who don't drive, he
sam, found themselves without
adequate bus service.
AS a result, the Acc now
has contracts with 1ive bus
companies who provide service
on 10 lines to all parts of the
area. The bus-riding employees
pay a maximum of 81 a day,
and the Acc makes UP the rest
according to set daily contract
rates.
Currently, Mr.. Derry said
the Acc subsidy amounts to
about $4,000 a month.
Mr.. Derry stressed, however
that the subsidies will be con-
tinued only through June Of
next year. After that, he hopes
the bus service demand - for
those who want it - will be
strong enough to be picked up
by bus companies as regular
operations.
Pools May Be Solution
But the more likely prospect,
he said, is that car-pools by
that time will be meeting the
needs Of virtually all the
workers.
The bus-subsidy program, in
any event, Mr.. Derry said, was
set up this year only as an
emergency transition pro-
gram because Of the unusual
inconvenience caused workers
by the sudden shift from down.
town Washington to the far
suburbs. Many employees al
ready have moved near the ACC
center. he said, and others are
expected to follow.

The case Of the pudgy po-
licemen remained unsolved
here today.
But the Board of Police and
Fire Surgeons already has rec
commended arresting the main
culprit- overweight
The board, after studying a
congressional complaint on
corpulent cops. said only a few
suspects seemed to be guilty.
This drew agreement from
Deputy Chief Howard v.
Covell, who said not many po-
licemen, forced to weigh in,
tipped the scales at 200 pounds
or more.
Deputy Covell. who was left
holding the fat, so to speak,
while Chief Robert v. Murray
vacations in the South, used
himself as a case in point. He
said he is 5 feet IL inches tall
and weighs 202 pounds.
Actuarial tables might show
him to be overweight, Deputy
Covell conceded, but he MAIN
tanned his large frame de-
the full poundage.
"Of course" he added, "if
you put me in those tight
motorcycle pants, some people
might disagree with me-"
Pants Are Vital
Motorcycle pants are vital to
the case, because it was the
sight of tub-tummied police
cyclists that brought the origi-
nal complaint from Represent
alive Miller, Republican Of
Nebraska.
Mr.. Miller wrote a letter to
the District Commissioners on
the excess weight he observed
in a police escort waiting at
National Airport for Vice Pres
ident Nixon to return from
Latin America.
The Commissioners referred
the weighty issue to the Police
Department. AS a result mo-
torcycle patrolmen were asked
to get weighed.

The

By GEORGE KENNEDY

Have you ever heard Of
Corbin Hollow in the Blue
Ridge and the mountain folk
who were removed a genera
ton ago to make way for
Shenandoah National Park
and Skyline Drive?
1t was a top story in the
early days OF the New Deal.
Yesterday the Rambler
drove into the lower steps
of the Blue Ridge with DR..
Roy Lyman Sexton.
DR.. Sexton is one OF the
most successful internal
medicine men OF the Nation.
He was an enthusiastic hiker
and got to know the noun
tain folk before the Skyline
Drive was started.
He also is the talkingest
man in the Nations Capital,
which is right up the Ram
bler's alley-no use spend
ing the day with a strong,
silent man.
DR.. Sexton not only talked
all the way to the Blue
Ridge--a drive of more than
two hours-but when some
thing he had said seemed
worthy of recording he would
pick up a microphone and
dictate, at so miles an hour,
into a machine built into the
front seat.
There was something very
professional about his micro
phone manner. 1t came out
that for six years he had
been the District Medical
Society,s "Dr. John" in
weekly broadcasts In behalf
Of the profession.
