PARTON 9 (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NTEW YORK.—In his new novel, • “Storm," nominated by some reviewers for the Pulitzer prize, George Stewart notes that man is 24-Hour Alert in “al ^ Weather Building, a land an‘ Washington, D C. ^ve “om* monly supposed. We live at the bottom of an ocean of air but that doesn’t make us a land animal, any more than a crab is a land animal because it lives at the bottom of a body of water. Dramatizing a storm which gath ered up north of Japan, and clock ing it down this way, and record ing the resulting inter-play of hu man nature and meteorology, Mr. Stewart’s book is an incidental, per haps not intended, reminder that the politicos have been far behind the meteorologists in grasping the lull implications of man adding wings to his breathing apparatus. Francis W. Reichelderfcr, the lean, baldish, chief of the U. S. weather bureau, seems to have had something like that in mind for many years, and that's all to the good just now, as our light ers, on, under and above the sea have the best weather serv ice in the world. It was in the serological service of the navy that Commander Reichelderfcr carried through his “air mass" analysis which revolutionized weather forecasting. Bringing meteorology into focus with modern communications, avia tion and revised military science was a little heeded but supreme ly important assignment, and Commander Iteichelderfer made good. He isn’t dealing bulletins the way he used to. The most authentic weather news now is low-down, deep from Sibyl's Cave of the Winds, slipped out quietly to the armed forces and a touchy job it is, with the seven seas to cover. The com mander is putting on forced draught the full 24 hours in the old red brick weather building in Washington. In 1918, the youth from Harlan, Ind., two years out of Northwestern university, newly commissioned en sign in the navy, was sent to Lisbon to dig weather reports for the wob bly crow-hop of the NC-4 across the ocean. Thereafter, joining the aero logical service, he was the weather consultant of polar fliers, gave Lind bergh the gun for his historic flight to Paris, cleared or held Dr. Ecke ner’s blimps, served from 1922 to 1928 as head of the aerological serv ice, and became head of the weath er bureau on January 16, 1939. IN ANOTHER, ana possibly more *■ enjoyable, century, Cadet Charles M. Wesson, known as "The Bull,” was a famous line-bucker at West j «.• f Point. For Ordnance Chief 34 ycars in Comes Up With the ordnance „ , department 5 Billion in Hand 0( ^e army, he has been bucking congress, try ing to break through the line for an appropriation touchdown, and al most always thrown for a loss. But now, as Major General Wesson, chief of ordnance since 1938, he finds his appropriation upped about 1,600 per cent to around $5,000,000,000. General Wesson, bulky, mus cular and appropriately beetle browed at 63, has been a glutton for punishment, trying to get goads and gear for the armed forces. But he stands up well under it, with no come-back oth er than an occasional wry wise crack. Away back in 1920, he made an earnest plea for anti aircraft guns, insisting that the bombing effectiveness of planes was Increasing rapidly and we would be in a bad way if we didn’t keep ahead of It. The general might just as well have asked for caviar and champagne for the daily army ration. It was pretty much that way for the next 20 years. And now, all at once the man who blew in Brew ster’s Millions is a skin-flint, compared to the general. He was born in St. Louis, Mo., and was graduated from West Point in 1900. In 1907, he joined the ordnance department, made good on his job as a hard-working and competent technician and passed quite a few miracles in keeping the U. S. arse nal at Watertown, Mass., kicking out fighting equipment during the World j war, with or without congressional appropriations. As commandant of the Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland, he spent much time ex plaining to congress why the army found it difficult to patch up old Springfield rifles, or get its shoes half-soled. In some manner or other i he gets along with congress. NATIONAL AFFAIRS Reviewed by CARTER FIELD Drastic Action Would Foiloiv Failure of l.abor To End Defense Strikes . . . Russian Success Helps British Cause in North Africa. (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) WASHINGTON. — The necessity for having no strikes in defense production, particularly so far as airplanes, explosives, etc. are con cerned, is of tremendous impor tance now that Washington sincere ly hopes this hurdle may be sur mounted through patriotic co-opera tion on the part of labor union lead ers. Several moves have been made by labor which «eem to point in this di rec’ton, and there is a disposition in congress, as a result to pause be fore rushing on to such drastic ac tion as that envisioned in the bill introduced by Rep Howard Smith cf Virginia and rushed through the house by a big majority despite the well-known views of the administra tion to the contrary. At the time the Smith bill was sent to the senate, which was some days prior to the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor, there was no probability of its enactment. As told in these dis patches at the time, the expectancy was that the bill would be amended drastically in the senate, and, unless the amendments were sweeping indeed the bill would be vetoed by the White House. However, it was pointed out in those dispatches that the willingness of such a large majority in the house to vote such action, rather than any legislation which might soon result, was significant. This evidence of popular opinion—for the house more truly and accurately repre sents public opinion than any other branch of the government—spelled the certainty that eventually, unless labor mended its ways, such ac tion would result. Nation Now United This picture is far more true today than it was then, for since that pre diction was made the country has not only gene to war, but has been solid ified and unified to an extent which one month ago was beyond the wild est hopes of the interventionists. Casualty lists have a way of smothering tolerance of the other fellow's views, but one month ago there was no thought of such serious casualty lists at any time this year. Nor could there be any calcula tions based on the effect on this country of the "dastardly” attack by the Japanese. Events of that attack, and off Malaya, including the sinking of the two Japanese warships as well as our own and the British, have driven home to this now united country the truth about air power, and the vul nerability of the strongest battle fleet without air supremacy. With that lesson pounded home and clinched, there is going to be very little patience with any strikes from now on which curtail our air plane production, or for that matter anv other national defense produc tion. Labor is going to find the pub lic insisting that work not be stopped because of any dispute over wages or hours, and particularly over whether this or that union has jurisdiction in a given factory. —Buy Defense Bonds— Help African Drive Russian Successes There are sighs of relief here that the campaign in North Africa seems to be going as we’J as most of the experts had hop?d. The underlying reason is that if it were not going so well there would be a storm of criticism because American produc tion of planes and tanks had gotten under way sb s'owly. It is admitted that only the unex pected success of the Russians in the last few weeks has saved the British in North Africa. Had the uermans oeen a Die to dig in for the cold weather after their failure to crush the Russian armies and take Moscow and Sevastopol, they could have diverted such a tre mendous flying force to North Africa that the British would have been stopped and even Egypt threatened. Underlying all this is the failure of the United States to get big pro duction of planes, tanks, etc. under j way earlier. Had that been done the British would have had such ample material in North Africa that the mopping up of the German forces ; | from Egypt to French held territory in North Africa would have been un der way several weeks ago. Obviously the British have had su- j periority. but not enough superi- ! ority to make the job a quick one. ; Everyone expected the Nazis to put' up a better fight than did the Italians in the same territory last year, and they have. In fact they have done even better than the British anticipated They would have been beaten more quickly if the British had been able to wait until more planes and more tanks were at their disposal. But they could not wait. They had to follow a time table set not by the state of their supplies and arma ment, but by the weather. The Far Eastern situation »ay have had | something to do with it, too.
