THEN HE GOT OUT his
maps. For his 90-day fore
cast, which is still in devel-
opment and not published, he
prepares two maps. One is
for temperature, the other
for precipitation.
The area where precipita-
ton is predicted to be above
normal is shaded dark. In
this case it was the Western
Plains and the area west of
the Great Divide. There Is
a white area-near normal.
And a light-Shaded area
less than normal. The tenn
perature map has the same
shades, dark for colder than
normal, white in between for
near normal, and a light
shading for above normal.
After the 90-day period
two similar maps are made,
based not on prediction but
on what happened.
"You See," said Mr.. Namias,
"this winter has not been
one of our best predictions.
You notice the colder-than-
normal area went right to
the Atlantic. Washington did
not escape extremely cold
weather. It was lucky in that
it escaped snow.
Spring? Our 30-day map
predicting weather for the
continental United States in
dicates that Washington will
have normal temperatures
and slightly above normal
precipitation.
There will be big swings
in temperature. The present
cold will probably be fol-
lowed by above normal.
There will probably be
rain rather than snow and
it should usher in spring at
the usual time"

Butler Refuses
To Run Again
6. O. P. PorIey Set
On Senate Race

Senator Butler, Republican
of Maryland, today reaffirmed
his decision not to seek re-
election to the Senate seat he
has held for nearly IL years
The Senator's announcement
apparently ended the hopes
of State Republican leaders
that he could be persuaded to
reconsider and seek a third
term.
Many close and loyal friends
of mine have asked me to re-
consider my decision not to
run for reelection" the ga
year-old Senator said.
II have reflected and my
position remains the same as
that of last December"
Earlier today, State leaders
said a Significant statement"
would be issued by party officials
at a top-level meeting of Re-
publicans in Baltimore.
McKeldin Mentioned
Party sources said Senator
Buffers final decision mas
prompt former Gov. Theodore
r. McKeldin to file for the
Senatorial nomination. The
filing deadline for the May
primary is midnight Monday.
Both MIR. McKeldin and Sen.
ator Butler were to attend the
gathering of party leaders this
afternoon.
The announcement expected
today repeatedly will have a
bearing on the gubernatorial
candidacy of Silver Spring bus
inessman David Scull, the only
Republican to file for the gov
ernorship to date.
SculI to Run
Although Mr.. McKeldin has
been mentioned as being inter-
ested in seeking either the gov
ernorship or the Senate seat,
Mr.. Scull has insisted that he
will run for the gubernatorial
nomination whether Mr.. Nc
Keldin tries to get his old job
back or not.
Two Maryland Republicans
have already filed for the SEN
atorial nomination. They are
James P. Gleason of Bethesda,
who at one time served as an
administrative assistant to for
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, and Harry Simms of
Takoma Park.
Senator Butler had been I'M
der heavy pressure from his
party's conservative wing to
reconsider and seek a third
term. In December, when he
first announced that he would
retire, there were indications
that health was a factor in his
decision.

The
Rambler
Has
A Question
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

o, lUind,
If tDinter comes, can spring
be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley asked
that question early in the
last century and a novelist
named A. S. M. Hutchinson
made 1t familiar to readers
in the first part of this CEN
fury. He selected eff Winter
Comes" as the title to one of
his novels, which became a
best seller.
But let's reverse it. If win
ter doesn't come, will we have
spring?
A very disturbing thought.
1t bothered the Rambler to
the extent that he went out
to Suitland yesterday to con-
suit his pipeline to the future.
Jerome Namias, head of
Extended Weather Forecast
in the Weather Bureau,
seems to have an inkling of
what's to come.
His predictions are not
personal prophecy. There are
scores of meteorologists in
the section he heads. They
feed data, submitted by thou
sands of weather observers
all over the world, into an
IBM 1000 all-transistor COM
puter in a sacrificial cere-
mony before getting at the
entrails.
In December, 1860, he told
the Rambler we were going
to have a very severe winter.
Boy, did we have one!
In December, 1861, he said
that we were going to have
a mild and open winter.

Todoy's 16' Sinks
Toward Record

March arrived in traditional
lion-like style with gusty
winds yesterday and a To-
degree low today-the coolest
March 2 reading in 81 years.
The weatherman said the
mercury dipped to Is at 7:30
am, so minutes after sunrise.
The temperature was not ex-
pected to go above the low 30s
today. Tonight's predicted low
is % degrees.
The record low for the date
is 10 degrees, observed in 1886
and 1925.

at National Airport this winter
was 9 degrees on January IL.

so FAR, so good.
But what about spring?
Mr.. NamiaS laughed,

But what about spring?
Mr.. Namias laughed.
"I'm just back from Aus
tralia," he said. Have no
fears. The succession of the
seasons is still in progress.
"It was the equivalent of
July there. 1t was 8 above
zero when I left Washington
and 104 above when I arrived
at Melbourne"
He got out his weather
maps, but before showing
them, he took a piece of
chalk and went to the black
board.
I have never known a man
to be SO explanatory-almost
apologize bout being
right.
He drew a simplified map
of the United States, a broad
rectangle with an appendage
at the lower right-hand
corner.
That's Florida" he said.
What happened was this.
AS we predicted, the cold
air masses came down from
the Arctic and caused very
heavy rain in California.
"And as we predicted they
caused heavy snow in the
Mountain States and in the
Western Plain.
But we did not predict
that the intense cold would
go so far East.
Some of the biggest Arctic
air masses in history moved
over our continent.
Zone in January extended
west of the Pacific, into the
Gulf of Mexico and to the
Atlantic.
"The air masses were larger
than anticipated and the
Midwest, the Great Lakes
region in particular, was
blanketed with snow and ice.
So the earth did little to
raise the temperature of the
cold air passing over it."

4. Recommended coming
changes to encourage construc-
ton of arcaded buildings in
certain parts of the District.
AS now written, coming regu-
lationS discourage construction
OF arcades because their total
area must be counted as part
OF the inclosed part of the
building, officials said.
Under the proposed revision,
arcadeS could be built without
their floor area counting as
part of a buildings allowable
floor space.
AS explained by staff mem
berS, the construction would al
low both roofed-over walkways
parallel with the sidewalk as
well as pedestrian ways pene-
trating building at right an
giles to the sidewalk.
ArcadeS are a frequently seen
feature of buildings and entire
streets in many European
cities, where they provide cover
for shop fronts and shelter for,
pedestrians. Examples in Wash
ington include the arcaded
south front of the Union Sta
ton and the circular arcade of
the post office building on the,
west side of Twelfth street.
Contemporary arcades probably
would be open to the sidewalk
to a greater extent than in
these examples.

eSpousal of urban renewal for
a 97-acre Georgetown area.
Mrs. James H. Rowe, jr.,
NCPC chairman, interpreted
the commissions position now
as being favorable to CO.
operation with citizens efforts
primarily for private action.
Walter C. Louchheim, chair
man of the Urban Renewal
Committee, emphasized he
thought further agreement
than exists today should be
reached by Georgetown citizens
over planning detectives prior
to any substantial commission
action.
He said he was favorably i'm
pressed, so far as he knew
about it, with the technique
used in the Adams-Morgan
area to bring about the ap-
pearance, at least, of a COM
munity consensus on planning
aims. He said that, perhaps,
such a method could be useful
in Georgetown.
The Adams Morgan program
set up by planners was based
on formation of block-area cit
liens groups. Though never
fully analyzed-especially from
the standpoint of whether citi-
zenS always were fully informed
of the issues or as to the rep
resentative nature of the de-
cisions - the arrangement did
supply a process through which
planning decisions can be de-
Tended as having been achieved
with citizen participation.
Suspension of the George
town sketch-plan staff work
came two weeks ago, after the
District Commissioners said
they considered urban renewal
for the neighborhood should
have low priority.
Commenting on this yester-
day, Engineer Commissioner
Frederick j. Clarke said the
Commissioners advised caution
because they felt they couldn't
put resources into it at an
early date"
