Puruchuted Box
Raises D. C.. Stir

A small white box suspended
from a parachute floated down
into a tree a block from the
White House this morning
causing a minor stir until it
was identified as a Weather
Bureau forecasting device.
Charles r. Gartrell, Is, Of SOC
Twenty second street NV,
spotted the 5-by-8-inch box
dangling from a tree on the
northwest corner of Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
NV. about 10 am. Above the
box was a torn white parachute,
snagged on a higher branch.
Mr.. Gartrell called police.
The mystery was soon dis
PEELED when firemen of Truck
Co. 3 ran up a ladder and
retrieved the box. A message
on the box said it was a radio
sonde and urged the finder to
drop it off at any Post Office
to be returned to the Weather
Bureau.
r. C. Schmidt, chief meteor
ologist at the Weather Bureaus
National Airport station, said
the devices are sent up by
balloon to as high as 100000
feet to radio back the pressure,
temperature and humidity they
encounter in the upper air. His
station stopped sending them
up because of heavy plane
traffic near the airport. The
nearest bureau station that
might have sent it up is at
Sterling, Va.

He still played a wonderful
game (including teaming up

touchdown but the ankle
swelled pretty badly overnight"
Yore, playing one of his
finest games, followed his long
strike to Francis with a quick
5-yard sideline pass to End

touchdown. Then he broke the
game open with a zig-zagging
45-yard gallop after being
trapped trying to pass for the
