When the waters had subsided, a band of angry farmers and townspeople headed for the Hatfield tower. He already had gone to San Diego to culler his fee. But the city attorney said the rain was statewide and, therefore, he couldnt credit it to Hatfields potions. He offered to pay the $10,000 fee only if Hatfield would sign a document saying he was responsible for the rain, the flood and the damage it wrought. Hatfield said no to that. And soon the city was the defendant in lawsuits aggregating $3.5 million damages. While Charlie Hatfield was disappointed that he never collected his tee, he told friends later he always considered the 1916 effort at San Diego his greatset triumph in cloud puncturing. After that he and Paul quit and went into the sewing machine business. Hatfield really believed he had fooled Mother Nature, but the argument still is up for grabs.

Copley News Service The U.S. Commerce Department's .Air Resources Laboratories are trving to find out whether man is changing global climate ami, if so, how. The worldwide government study coincides with the dedication of Hatfield Park in Rancho San Diego, a Southern new town California community. The recreational park was named after rtonmakpr Charles Hatfield, who did some weather changing himseii more than half a century ago. Charlie Hatfield was the toast of some parched towns to which he brought copious rains, or claimed he did. In other communities he is remembered as the scourge of nature who stayed only a step ahead cf the lynch mob after his mysterious chemical potions and incantations brought floods and disaster instead of the gentle rains that nourish crops. Still. Charlie Hatfield and his brother, Paul, claimed success for some MO rainmaking operations. They are long since dead, but Pauls son. David, was an honored guest and speaker at the Hatfield Pack dedication. Few who attended the ceremonies in suburban San Diego recall the Hatfields. But those who do still argue over whicther Mother Nature decided in 1916 to cooperate or whether the rainmakers actually brought the torrents to a parched Southern California that year. Whoever did it, the lesuits.weie not anticipated by the San Diego mayor and City Council or by Charlie Hatfield. The auestion likely never will be answered, but what happened is on the record books and makes a if only as a vivid fascinating bit of Americana reflection of Yankee ingenuity. In 1915 San Diego lay helpless under a rainless sky, its chief reservoir. Lake Morena, was little more than a wading pool. The drought had reached the crisis stage. By December, when there should have been rains measuring up to perhaps six to 10 inches, there was nothing but sunlight. Then came Charlie Hatfield, a string bean of a man with a bookful of newspaper dippings heralding his previous triumphs in pluviculture, an early day word for rainr.iaking. It seemed he had brought rain to parched areas of Alaska and hail as big as hens eggs to Texas, among other precipitous achievements. Hatfield appeared before the San Diego City Council and offered, for a fee of $10,000, to fill the big Morena reservoir to the brim. The council agreed, but told him he would have to Drove somehow that he brought the rain if it should miraculous appear. scaffold and So Hatfield and his brother built a In a tent Charlie town. of miles east 60 below, platform 1 s- - Weather?

He wanted to take advantage of the U.S. setbacks in Southeast Asia and had gone to Peking to sound out the Chinese about it. The Chinese even indicated, strictly unofficially, that they would not object to U.S. support for Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other nations surrounding In dochina. The Chinese took exception, of course, to Defense Secretary' James Schiesingers statement including Taiwan in the U.S. defense line. They also are committed to support insurgencies throughout the world. But strictly on the OT, the Chinese dont want the U.S. armed forces to leave the Far East. ,, J By Harry Jones !
