ALICE WAS SHY:
Scientists Work To Halt Hurricanes
hURRICANE JANET slashes at 450-year-old Veracruz, Mexico, early Friday. Surging waves inun.
dated parts of the city while winds toppled rooms as the eye of the hurricane moved inland north of
the city.
WASHINGTON (P)-Ten deadly
hurricane sisters, ranging from
shy Alice to vicious Janet, have
whirled up out of their tropical
spawning grounds so far this year
-and more may be yet to come.
Officially, the season of the big
winds lasts until Nov. 15.
Experts disagree on whether it
will ever be possible to throw a
halter on these dangerous ladies
from the tropics. But each time
the grim red-and-black warning
flags begin to fly, the U. S.
Weather Bureau braces for an in-
evitable barrage of complaints:
"Why don't you do something
to stop it?"
Advocate Atomic Aid,
Some scientists believe atomic
intervention could turn the trick.
Dr. Edward Teller, so - called
"father" of the hydrogen bomb,
said recently that atomic research
developments may enable mankind
to control weather and "prevent
or alleviate" hurricanes within the
next 10 years.
How? By dropping A-bombs into
the storms? Dr. Teller didn't say.
But, Dr. Francis W. Reichelderfer,
breezy, fast-talking chief of the
U. S. Weather Bureau, has strong
doubts about atomic bombs as
hurricane killers.
"It would take 1,000 atomic
bomb explosions a minute to
match the kinetic energy of a
single moderate-size hurricane,"
Reichelderfer said in an interview.
May Steer Storms
Gordon Dunn, chief of the
Weather Bureau's storm warning
n
center at Miami, Fla., says it may
be possible to "steer" hurricanes
away from a threatened city by
treating the storm with artificial,
rain-making methods-i.e., seed-
ing the clouds with dry ice pellets
or silver iodine.
Reichelderfer was skeptical of
this idea.
"There are probably not enough
planes in the world to drop enough
ice to stop a hurricane," he said.
Progress Being Made
While mankind may never be
able to control nature's outbursts,
human ingenuity is making con-
siderable progress in detecting,
tracking and warning of impend-
ing aanger from hurricanes, floods,
tornadoes and other weather cap-
rices.
At the Weather Bureau's long-
range forecasting center in near-
by Suitland, Md., a giant new
"electronic brain" analyzes com-
plex data sent in four times daily
from some 14,000 meteorological
stations, ships and aircraft all
over the world.
But for all its astonishing effi-
ciency, the "brain" still can't give
a simple yes or no answer to the
question: "Is it going to rain to-
morrow?" That's where the hu-
man element-based on judge-
ment, experience an d p ur e
"hunch"-beats the machine.
Caught Off Guard
Weather Bureau experts admit
they were caught off guard by
Diane, which swept inland with a
king-size wet smack. Usually the
great winds not only lose their
Sunday punch but also dry out as
they leave the sea.
"Past records show that 99 times
out of 100 we don't get floods like
Diane produced," said Chief Gleit-
er of the hurricane warning serv-
ice. "We'd be fools to cry 'wolf'
