The
Rambler
Recalls
Yesteryeurs' Shows
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

~ NA1~@SNNN &AA4ANAN14@ -
Having no intention of be-
coming snowbound in town
again (fun is fun but not
every Thursday night, the
Rambler asked The Star liz
brary to provide him with
the clipping file on big SHOWS
of the past so he could write
his piece and hurry home.
What started him on this
kick of very unScientific re-
search was a surprising story
out of New York. DR.. J. Muir
ray Mitchell, jr., Of the
Weather Bureaus office Of
Climatology, in addressing
the American Meteorological
Society, said that winters,
have been becoming colder
for the last 20 years.
First you hear it one way
and then you hear it another.
But one thing is for sure.
No meteorologist and no
Gripping snowstorm is going
to convince q man born in
the last century that mod
ern winters equal the old
ones.
Tomorrow is the seth an
niversary Of q storm which
dropped % inches Of snow
in "a hours and caused the
collapse of the roof Of the
Knickerbocker Theater and
the deaths Of SO persons.
But let's skip that and get
back to the last century.
AS everyone knows the
Weather Bureau was founded
in 1870 under the supervi-
sion Of the Signal Officer OF
the United States, Gen.
James Albert Myer, for whom
Fort Myer was named.
Way back in 1848, Prof.
Joseph Henry, Secretary Of
the Smithsonian Institution.
began keeping weather rec
ords. These are in the files
of the Weather Bureau.
But for colorful weather
reports you can't beat the
Chronicles" Of Richard H.
jackson, a native Of George
town, published in 1873.
1.-The winter Of 1927" he
wrote, twas Of remarkable
severity. Alexandria was
nearly burned down and
many citizens Of our town
skated to Alexandria and as
sisted in extinguishing the
conflagration."
There's a picture worthy
of Pieter Brueghel-the
bucket brigade on skates.

WHEN THE ICE BROKE
UP in the Potomac in 1880
1t made IA gaps in the spans
OF the Long Bridge (same 10
cation as the Fourteenth
street bridges). This even
tually caused Congress to
buy it from a private COM
pany and rebuild 1t.
He remembered seeing a
wagon load of logs being
pulled by four horses on the
frozen surface Of the Poto-
mac at Christmas time 1881.
"The winter of 1885 was
the coldest ever experienced
in this latitude. We had some
weeks Of thaw and then the
weather would turn extreme
ly cold. The mercury indi-
Gated In January 16 degrees
below zero. We had three Sc
we're cold spells during that
year, one of which was in
March. On the third Of that
month I skated on the Poto-
mac playing handy and pris-
oner's base.
During the winter Of 1857,
sleighing was enjoyed by our
inhabitants. Fleet horses
were brought from other
cities to race on Pennsylva-
mia avenue, and when the
drivers would be arrested for
driving at an improper
speed, they would pay the
fine, crack the whip over the
head Of justice and go 1t
again.
This was the winter that
a locomotive was run on the
ice across the river from
Maryland to Alexandria; also
sleepers (ties) and rails were
laid on the ice at Havre de
Grace across the Susque-
hanna River and trains OF
cars crossed over for more
than a month"

Physicists Criticize |Dr. Libby's Plans on Atomic War Survival

IOWA CITY, Iowa R = Dr. James Van Allen and seven other University of Iowa physicists take issue with Dr. Willard Libby's syndicated series of articles on how to survive atomic attack. They call it seeSssttrrenaely danger ous."
 Van Allen, who detected the radiation belts circling the earth through satellite studies, heads the Iowa Physics Dept
 The Iowa physicists, in letter to the editor of the Iowa City Press-C Citizen, said of the series by pr. Libby, Nobel Prize chemist:
 "It is extremely dangerous to give the impression to the public that the building of fallout shelt- CTS will enable the average clti- zen to survive a nuclear war.
 s'This gives a false sense Of security. The percentagewise small margin of safety gained in no way detracts from the very real possibility that an atomic war will mean the end of the civilizations of both opponents. '
 Libby, asked by the Associated Press by telephone for his conn nents, replied:
 q agree that anybody who in- terpreted my article as saying that fallout shelters make atomic war toleraIble should be outraged.
 T did not intend to say any thing like that. What I intended to say was that fallout shelters greatly increase the chance of sur vival for those who were not hit directly by blast or thermal burns.
 That is my message. The Iowa group particularly criticized Libby's estimate that 90 to 95 per cent of U.S. residents could survive an atomic attack with proper protection. l They said other estimates ar' 1 much lower than Libby's, an, added that survival figures obvi ously depend on the length O a future war, the number, sizt and distribution of bombs actually dropped, and many unforeseeable circumstances"

Hawaii Wants to Charter One of Alaska's Ferrys for Inter-Island Trips

the vessel during period it might otherwise remain idle.
 T realize, of course, that there are myriad of details that would have to be worked out before the feasibility and desirability of such an arrangement could be fully de- ter1nined. E"
 In answering Quinn, Egan said Alaska's vessels would lend them selves to such use "as they have the most modern hull design pos sible for ferry of their size and they will be powered to move quickly and efficiently"
 Egan said the second ferry will be ready for use in January. 1863, and would be available for char ter to Hawaii for approximately three months.
 ssWe would need the vessel here by the first of May in order to meet the requirements of the sum mer tourist season" Egan wrote. l The Alaska Governor added:
 s'The Alaska ferries are being built and certificated for opera ton in lakes, bays and sounds, and lifeboats are being provided accordingly. For operation in the Hawaii Islands, the ferry would have to be given special certi- ficate fer coastwide operation, which would limit her passenger carrying capacity to approximate y 300 people. It would also neces- sitate carrying an off-shore crew rather than the limited crew which we would use for our operation. :.
 Eff you feel that you can utilize the vessle under these conditions, we would propose to charter it to the state of Hawaii on a bare boat charter. The exact terms of which can be worked out in de- tail if you wish to explore the matter further.n
 Egan enclosed an artists con- | ception of the ferry and facts concerning the characteristics of the ship.

By Ward Sims Associated Press Staff Writer

JUNEAU R = Hawaii would like to charter one of Alaska's ferries for a practical trial of interisland, surface ferry service, the Associated Press learned yes terday.
 Gov. Wm. Quinn of Hawaii made the proposal in a letter to Gov. Wm. Egan, dated Oct. 26.
 The ship Quinn proposed that Hawaii charter from Alaska would be the second of three ves- sles to be constructed for ferry service in the Southeast Pan- handle.
 Quinn said Hawaii would like to use the chartered ship for trial service in the islands during the early months of 1863.
 Egan, in letter dated Nov 8, indicated Alaska would be will ing to charter the ferry to Hawaii one a bare-boat charter basis if Quinn felt Hawaii could use the ship.
 In his letter to Egan, Quinn said
 As ycsl rsIay be aware, one of the most serious problems fac ing Hawaii is the development of an efficient interisland ferry sy.s- terSas which will provide easy and relatively inexpensive transporta- ton between the major islands of this state.
 We have already undertaken number of expensive studies of this problem. Yet, we have not resolved satisfactorily the com peting arguments between the merits and demerits of: CD Large surface vessels, (2s Air ferries, and 6, hydrofoils. As in the case of picture being worth 10000 words, an actual practical demon stration of these various alterna.
 tives would probably be wortl l 10000 pages of study reports. l T understand the State O Alaska has now sisss,::.:: ssiissss.ss,::.:l.ed upor program of constructing foul large surface ferries. I understand further that the first of these i. due for delivery in August 196s and the second for delivery in December 1862 or January 1863 Although the first vessel will be | put into service immediately, have been advised that there may be period of several months after delivery before you will be able to put the second vessel into service.
 This being the case, we are wondering if it may be possible to charter this second ship for the interim period. Such an arr rangement may work to our mutual benefit. We would have the opportunity of gaining actual experience with this type of ferry through a practical demonstra- tion here in Hawaii. You would be able to derive revenues from

Two Suspects
 Held in Anchorage Night Club Killing

ANCHORAGE H A young night club singer from San Diego, Calif., was shot to death, and the ce-owner of the club was critically wounded Monday by two bandits.
 The dead woman was identified as Rose Marie Niedzwiecke, 23, who went by the name Rose Dawn. She came to Anchorage from Las Vegas, New, last Sep tember.
 The wounded man is Robert Dana Adams, 35.
 The singer was shot in the head and leg. Adams was also shot in the head and the neck, but he remained conscious long enough to phone police department rescue squad and describe the bandits.
 The shooting took place about 5 am. after all customers except two young men left. Police said Adams told them the gunmen made him and Miss Niedzwiecke lie down on the floor. Then he was hit on the head with bot tie, and, while semi-conscious, heard shots.
 The gunmen took $500 from cash register.
 About 40 minutes later, Gerald Lee Cox and Torrance Wayne Brady, both 22 and both of An chorage, were picked ap five blocks from the club. They had no pistols, no loot, and they de- nied robbing the place.
 Cox was released on bond from the city jail last Thursday, where he was held in burglary case.
 Cox and Brady were charged with first degree murder assault with intent to kill and armed robbery.
