The answer is plain.. Many key Democrats today are gripped by doubt. They believe Republicans' fortunes are on a high rising curved and they don't know where or when the climb will stop. They fear President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon have taken out a mortgage on the peace issue, what with tre exciting exchange of international visits.

Yet as we know, when the hurricane season starts, the hurricanes are givea names and their course is often predicted very accurately! In most parts of the world, most storms do move in definite directions. In the' United States, for example, most big storms are vast circular whirls of air that rotate! counterclockwise about a central point of low atmospheric pressure. The reason they rotate counterclockwise in the United States! is that as winds flow in toward the center of low pressure the earth's rotation deflects them toward the right (in the northern hemisphere). Now! what about hurricanes? First of all, did you know that hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons ore practically the same kinds of storm? In the United-Statethey are called cyclones,' In the East Indies and the China 'Sea they are called typhoons, and In the. We it Indies and the Gulf of Mexico they are known as hurricanes. North of the equator, typhoons and hurricanes commonly originate in late summer or fall over warm tropical waters. They move w e s t w a r d and northwestward through the trade wind zone in a path curved to the right. In subtropical latitude, such storms curve strongly to the east as they enter the zone of westerly winds. In the Southern Hemisphere a similar curved course is follow; ed, : except that the storm track curves to the left. Even though the path of a hurricane can be carefully plotted and 3li kinds of warnings given to people and ships at sea, a tremendous amount of damage is done by them.

But the South Pole land mass, which is twice the size of the U.S.A., becomes the first continent ever to be dedicated wholly to peaceful, scientific purposes.
