Show PAGE EIGHT PROVO (UTAH) DAILY- HERALD,. 1- THURSDAY, .APRIL 2, 1942 Weatherman Has Wartime Headache - - - Censorship r BT ELEANOR RAUSDAUS NEA Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 1 "You can't censor- the weatHer. de clared a veteran of the Weather Bureau, staff. "It keeps right on happenlhe." a , , . True. But weather reports are militarily censored. And because the weather does "keep right on - happening," , the bureau has a . Grade A headache in trying to outwit the enemy and at the same lime distribute predictions to people peo-ple who simply must have them. The Weather Man has to think two Jumps ahead of the enemy to set really vital information to the thousands of Americans to whom a temperature drop of a few degrees de-grees or. an Ice storm or a high wind can mean the loss of mil-.lions mil-.lions of dollars. - t- ', Radio weather broadcasts are .out for the duration. . However, In ' the case of ; severe storms or cold waves, the Bureau figures that possible "aid and comfort" to the enemy Is outweighed by the importance of avoiding the sure damage which would result from public , ignorance. Also, out,: for the daily press, is dope on wind velocity or direction, direc-tion, particularly the latter, since ' Jfo betrays the lines of storms and gives a clue to changing weather "fronts.' You may also have wondered why there's a curb on giving rainfall rain-fall of less than .10 of an inch, in local reports. "Personal Service Inaugurated Wpatjier , authorities explain . this by the fact that it is the light rain, mist and fog which mark a weather "front" much surer than heavier downpours, whiclr -might be caused bv any number of atmosphereic conditions not so Important to the enemy.' Weather fans who used to like to keep ' charts of comparative temperatures all over the country coun-try are now held in check with reports from only twenty cities being made available to any one city. - As to the information given out oyer automatic telephone exchanges, ex-changes, no one need worry about that, because there are only five cities with such systems and the report is pretty eenerai no wind direction or cloudiness data at all. " With the, radio and press rendered ren-dered useless for detailed information. infor-mation. Weather Bureau men have expanded their telephone service and field staff enormously. The bulk of their work has become a really personal service. For instance. Weather Bureau representatives in regional offices know specific men in charge of power plants or growers associations associa-tions who can. be trusted with advance ad-vance notice of cloudiness so that city power loads can be adjusted - or smudge pots, to set out to protect pro-tect fruit. If a long-distance call comes in from a contractor on the Great Lakes, who wants to know if his concrete will freeze or if a strong wind will jeopardize a scaffolding, the call is checked and the man , Identified before information is handed out. On the whole, all monthly round-up data on snow or rainfall, rain-fall, humidity, mean temperatures : will be. given as usual. Complete information for commercial airlines air-lines and military war chiefs will be confidentially relayed.

Thousands of ions of scrap iron. desperately needed for . wajr pro duction, are being withheld from the market because r the general public does not fully understand the urgency of the need and, the fact that the price of scrap is. fin der government control, E, J. Blankenfeld, field representative of the war production board's bu reau of industrial .conservation. said today. ' " Blankenfleld, whose territory in cludes Colorado, Utah, New Mex ico and Wyoming, said there are many cases in which farmers, and private persons are refusing to sell their accumulations of scrap iron to dealers. ' . "The govenment has set a ceil ing price on scrap iron," he said, and has the machinery to requis ition scrap from dealers who re- cooperation to move the scrap from farms and other small gathering gath-ering places into the yards of the dealers. ' . "Farmers and others who refuse to sell on the claim that they are not being offered enough by dealers deal-ers must realize that the' price which the dealer can obtain on resale re-sale is set by law and that the dealer also must consider the costs of freight and handling,' which are far more substantial than most persons realize. ;j "Those who : hold on to their small accumulations of scrap in the belief that, they will get "more money for the scrap later on do hot understand the operation of the price ceilings and are, in ef fect, guilty of the sort of hoarding which injures the war effort."
