FOURTH WAR LOAN<br />
I__- l_ll_<br />
The <strong>Weather</strong> Burenu field service, according to lqtest reports haa gone<br />
Over thc top with ctn nvcragc’ <strong>of</strong> 115 prrcent <strong>of</strong> its quota. In doing this<br />
the niore than 2,800 cniployecs participating invosted approximately<br />
8222,000 in war bonds during January <strong>and</strong> Fcbruary .<br />
All <strong>of</strong> the regions liavc! inade their quotas with a good porccntago to<br />
SParc.<br />
The Ccntral Ofice also has gone over thc top with nn avcrago <strong>of</strong> 108<br />
Percent <strong>of</strong> its quota. The 700 employrcs pnrtioipnting invested approximately<br />
$(f0,000 in war bondR during tho 2 mpntlis <strong>of</strong> the drivc.<br />
This is a record <strong>of</strong> wliicli all <strong>of</strong> us can be justly proud.<br />
Credit for the<br />
Success <strong>of</strong> tlic drivo belongs to all. An oxcellcnt job hns been done to<br />
asid in providing equiptncnt <strong>and</strong> facilities for thr forthcoming large<br />
scctlr <strong>of</strong>fcnRiv(a in Europe <strong>and</strong> to further iniplenic~nt our rrccnt victorirs<br />

NATIONAL POLICY ON INTERNATIONAL AIR COMMERCE<br />
Future oxpansion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Weather</strong> Burcau <strong>and</strong> its aotivities <strong>and</strong> policies<br />
Will doprnd in part upon national policy with qcspect to jntcmational<br />
air commerce. Tho <strong>Bureau</strong>’s <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>and</strong> career employoes who have<br />
an interest in tho dcveloprnent <strong>of</strong> matcorology have doubtless read arti-<br />
des in the current press in which public <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>and</strong> aeronautical au-<br />
thoritics have aired their vicws on postwar policy in international air<br />
commerce. Discussion falls into two general fields <strong>of</strong> thought which<br />
re& on fundnincntnl principles relating to Amorican idcm <strong>of</strong> political<br />
<strong>and</strong> social economy. It iH ,tlic: old controversy bctwoen those \~ho<br />
believe that frec enterprise <strong>and</strong> competition are tho soul <strong>of</strong> Anierican<br />
Progross <strong>and</strong> those who regard monopoly as essential to cfficioncy <strong>and</strong><br />
aVoi&nce <strong>of</strong> wastrful duplication. Tiiese views have some braring al~o<br />
Upon the ovolution <strong>of</strong> private practice <strong>of</strong> meteorology <strong>and</strong> the \;\‘cuther<br />
Bur~au’s policy with rcfcrence to oxtension <strong>of</strong> Government mcteorolog-<br />

ical service <strong>and</strong> cooperation with private companies interested in specialized<br />
weather service.<br />
American interests in favor <strong>of</strong> free competition in international air<br />
transport state that “there can be no national basis for permitting air<br />
transportation within the country to develop <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong> on a competitive<br />
basis while that outside the country is left to the withering influence<br />
<strong>of</strong> monopoly? They point out that competition has lcd to many tachnical<br />
improvements in aircraft design <strong>and</strong> engineering which probably<br />
would have becn much slower to develop without the stiniulation <strong>of</strong> free<br />
enterprise. Thoy believe that American superiority in arronnutics <strong>and</strong><br />
its rapid development as a major means <strong>of</strong> transportation are tho direct<br />
result <strong>of</strong> the “needling” that comes from hcnlthy rivalry <strong>of</strong> frcc enterprise.<br />
’ Thosc who favor a considerable degree <strong>of</strong> Government control <strong>and</strong><br />
perhap8 a semi-monopolistic arrangement through selection <strong>of</strong> a ((chosen<br />
instrument” for each principal international route maintain that cutthroat<br />
cornpetition undor a policy <strong>of</strong> frec cnterprisc in international air<br />
transport would placc the <strong>United</strong> States at a ecrious disadvantage in comparison<br />
with the subsidized Govermon t air transport corporations <strong>of</strong> several<br />
foreign countries. They believe that a franchise <strong>of</strong> sornc kind limiting<br />
the degree <strong>of</strong> competition <strong>and</strong> permitting more cllicient operation<br />
under suitable Govermont regulations as regards safety nnd operating<br />
procedures is the only way for the <strong>United</strong> States to maintain its place<br />
in international air transport.<br />
The Governrricnt’~~ policy on this important subject has not been announced.<br />
Upon it will depend, to some extent, the future progmm <strong>of</strong> tho<br />
<strong>Weather</strong> Burcau <strong>and</strong> its relation to thr cxpantling needs for airways<br />
meteorological service.<br />

WEATHER SERVICE FOR MOTOR TRUCK COMPANIES<br />
The following article from the Journal <strong>of</strong> Commcrce regarding weather<br />
eervice for motor truck companies operating out <strong>of</strong> Chicago is reproduced<br />
for the information <strong>of</strong> station <strong>of</strong>5cials:<br />
Motor truck companies operating out <strong>of</strong> Chicago will bo onnbled in tho future to<br />
aclapt their routing schedule? to wenther conditione IW II result <strong>of</strong> 11. new wrvice in-<br />
stituted by the Chicago AsrJociation <strong>of</strong> Commerce. By speciid nrrungcinents with<br />
the <strong>United</strong> States <strong>Weather</strong> 13ureuu, the nflsociiition is now supplied with forccusw<br />
<strong>of</strong> all unusual declines in temperature or licavy mow. This information is then<br />
relayed by telephone to the 117 motor cnrrier coinpanics holding mcmberihip in the<br />
association. In the fir& test <strong>of</strong> the service, lcsa than 46 minutes were required to<br />
inform tho truck operators what weather conditions theid drivem would have to<br />
face in the following 24 hours in Illinois, Wisconsin, TOWII., Indiana, Minnesota <strong>and</strong><br />
Upper <strong>and</strong> Lower Michigan.
279<br />
Adequate weatlicr scrvicc for motor truck opcmtors is <strong>of</strong> vital inipor-<br />
tancc for planning shipnieiits niid tho protection <strong>of</strong> goods in transit.<br />
Undoubtedly this service is boing provided by ncurly a11 <strong>Weather</strong> 13ureau<br />

the ground, on the sea, or in the air, such data are indispensable<br />
guides to the probability <strong>of</strong> certain weather occurrences in diffcrent sea-<br />
sons <strong>of</strong> the year. Also; 5n addition to activc operations they afford<br />
valuable information for such things as the location <strong>of</strong> kraining centers<br />
for military services, aa well 88 health safeguards for our boys on the<br />
active fronts throughout the globe.<br />
When this war has been won <strong>and</strong> we return to peacctimc pursuitst<br />
the lessons learned from the practical application <strong>of</strong> climatological<br />
data to many <strong>and</strong> varied uses will emphasize more than ever before the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> weather <strong>and</strong> climate to many peacetime cconomic activi-<br />
ties. Very little imagination is required to envision climatological needs<br />
for a greatly exp<strong>and</strong>ed world-wide aerial transportation service <strong>and</strong> only<br />
slightly more incntal effort to foresee a tremendous demapd for pro-<br />
cessed data in the field <strong>of</strong> surface transportation, general industry, <strong>and</strong><br />
for many other important economic problems. While the present war<br />
activities may temporarily distract our thoughb from vital post-war<br />
needs, everyone engaged in climatological work should realize that, hi@<br />
or her <strong>of</strong>forb are essential to the nation’s weal, not only in the prosed<br />

COOPERATIVE FIELD TRAVEL BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES<br />
Starting in July 1943, <strong>and</strong> administered at Atlanta, Ga., for Qov-<br />
Qnmont travel in tliat area, a plan was tried to coordinate tho <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
travel facilities <strong>of</strong> the several Government agencies there, by nieans <strong>of</strong><br />
which the prospective passenger or car operator could readily contact<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the coopcrating agencies designated to act a8 a clearing house,<br />
where arrangements would bl made if possible to obtain accornodations<br />
for those desiring to ride as passengers, or nialre available for joint travel<br />
avehicle <strong>and</strong> driver scheduled for a planned trip. This was nll done in<br />
connection with the Federal Milcage Conwrvation Progrniii . Substantin1<br />
savings resulted <strong>and</strong> the plan has since been considerably extsnded to<br />
other arew with prospects <strong>of</strong> further expansion in the near future. At<br />
this time in addition to Atlanta the plan is in operation at I3oston, New<br />
yorlr, I~hiladelphin, Chicago, Knnsns City, I)enver, Dnllns, <strong>and</strong> Snn<br />

arrangements through tho Travel Coordinator for transportation in what-<br />
@Per Govcrnment-owned or operated autoniobilo that is found to be available<br />
<strong>and</strong> suitable. Tliu request for such travel must meet with the<br />
aPProvd <strong>of</strong> the Regional Director (<strong>and</strong> in special cases <strong>of</strong> the Central<br />
Office) prior to the issue <strong>of</strong> lettors <strong>of</strong> authorization. Tho Chief <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Administration Division in the Central Office is Assistant Mileage Ad-<br />
Wnistrator in cliargc <strong>of</strong> such activities in tho <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>. Siniilarly<br />

METEOROLOGY SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
Additional information haa been received from the California Instituto<br />
<strong>of</strong> Technology at Pasadena, Calif., that a course in pr<strong>of</strong>essiond meteorology<br />
will begin on July 1, 1944. Tuition scholarships will be granted<br />
by the Wcathar <strong>Bureau</strong> for this coursc. Applicants will receive tuition<br />
OM?/ <strong>and</strong> the recipient is expected to finance his transportation costs to<br />
<strong>and</strong> from the University <strong>and</strong> to pay living expenses, including text books,<br />
during attendance. Requirements remain tho 8ame as listed in the<br />
March <strong>and</strong> May 1944 issues <strong>of</strong> T~PICS AND PERSONNEL.<br />
In view <strong>of</strong> the prcscnt <strong>personnel</strong> shortage due to drafting <strong>of</strong> men under<br />
26, it is difficult to release employecs from their present assignments<br />
even for the purposo <strong>of</strong> obtaining pr<strong>of</strong>essional training in meteorology.<br />
Before making application, it is therefore suggested that eniployces con-<br />
Oult with the Official in Charge <strong>and</strong> the Regional Director concerning<br />
releama for this training.<br />
CONFERENCE OF FORECASTERS<br />
hading forecastors from ninotecn centsrs met in Washington from<br />
16 to May 20, 1944, to discuss organization <strong>and</strong> sorvico problems,<br />
as dietinguished from matters <strong>of</strong> ecientific character. Attention was<br />
Concentrated on action which might be takcn more or less immediately,<br />
kith thc facilities <strong>and</strong> pcrsonncl whioh arc now available, to improve the<br />
service to the public, <strong>and</strong> working arrangements at tho different<br />
canters. Some attention wm given to planning for the future, espccially<br />
in the post-war period.<br />
It is felt that the mutual exchange bctwccn mcmbrrs <strong>of</strong> the group <strong>and</strong><br />
o@kials <strong>of</strong> the Ccntral Ofico ]ins becn extrenioly pr<strong>of</strong>itttblo.<br />
USE OIr RAWlN REPORTS<br />
Tho increasing dem<strong>and</strong> for upper-wind data to at lead 40,000 foot<br />
in 811 weather conditions hae led to the devclopmrnt <strong>of</strong> two methods <strong>of</strong><br />
Obtaining winds-al<strong>of</strong>t, data in <strong>and</strong> above an overcast, Data obtained by<br />
both methods will be designated on weathw teletype circuits as RAWIN<br />
(Pronounced RAY-win) data. The meaning <strong>of</strong> RAWIN is: “A winde<br />
al<strong>of</strong>t observation made by balloon <strong>and</strong> radio methods, without optical<br />
aid:’ RAWIN should not bo confused with RABAL, which denotes the<br />
‘nethod <strong>of</strong> determining uppepair wind8 by obecrving radiosonde bal-<br />
loon through a theodolitc.
302<br />
The accuracy <strong>of</strong> RAWIN data varies with the type <strong>and</strong> model <strong>of</strong><br />
equipment used for observation, but may safely be considered at lead<br />
a8 accurate aa single theodolite data. Teak have shown that some<br />
models <strong>of</strong> equipment now bcing used for RAWIN observations in the<br />
field givc data ns accurate ns double theodolite observations.<br />
Since RAWIN reports include upper-wind data in or above cloud<br />
decks, wind-al<strong>of</strong>t charts containing RAWIN data should not be used aS<br />
indicators <strong>of</strong> cloud coverage.<br />
RAWIN reports are disseminated on weathcr tclctypo circuits along<br />
with PIBAL <strong>and</strong> RABAL reports. The code form <strong>of</strong> the information<br />
is identical with the PIBAL code, except that an indicator is inserted<br />
irnmediatcly after the first group, IIIGG, <strong>of</strong> the coded report. Tho in-<br />
dicator used on CAA teletype circuits is RAWIN. For use outside the<br />
Contincntal limits, the key group indicator (88877) is authorized,<br />
INDEX NUMBER NOTICE<br />
Copiea <strong>of</strong> <strong>Index</strong> Numbor Notice, dated May 1, 1944 have been mailed<br />
to all Rcgional Offices for distribution to field stations. Stations which<br />
have not received a copy <strong>of</strong> this notice should notify their Regional Office.<br />
PIBALS AT CHARLOTTE, N. C.<br />
At the request <strong>of</strong> the Army the <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> has taken over the<br />
pibal work at Charlotte, N. C. Scheduled pibals (4 daily) were begun<br />
at the <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> Airport Station on April 26, 1944.

WAYNE 0. TAYLOH,<br />
Acting Secretarg <strong>of</strong> Commerce.<br />
The provisions <strong>of</strong> Multiple Address Letter dated May 16, 1944 on<br />
this subject will become effcctive Junc 1, 1944.<br />
LIDRARY LOANS TO STATIONS<br />
Books arc <strong>of</strong>ten scnt on loan to stations whcn a permanent deposit has<br />
been requested. This is donc to give the station <strong>personnel</strong> an opportu-<br />
nity to have awess to a copy <strong>of</strong> the book requcsted when none is avail*<br />
able for issue. Receipt cards for loans are blue <strong>and</strong> should carry the<br />
word "LOAN" but the books should not be stamped at the station fl<br />
station property as has been done recently at a number <strong>of</strong> stations,<br />
(See Circular Letter No. 46-41 for full details).<br />
NEW TYPE HELIUM CYLINDERS<br />
The Amarillo Relium Plant has obtained a number <strong>of</strong> the latest typo<br />
helium cylinders for use in transporting helium to <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> st&*<br />
tions. These will be identified by an orange cap, three-inch orange neck<br />
b<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> black body. Whonever such cylinders aro returned to the<br />
helium plant, station <strong>of</strong>Iicials are requested to insert on the bill <strong>of</strong> lad*<br />
ing 120 pounds as the weight <strong>of</strong> each empty cylinder.<br />
In view <strong>of</strong> the fact that these cylinders are lighter in weight <strong>and</strong> their<br />
capacity is greater than those now in use, it is cstimated that a 17 per0<br />
cent reduction in transportation costs will be effected by this change.

EDITORIAL POSITIONS IN CENTRAL OFFXCE<br />
There are two prospective positions in the IEditorinl Office that will be<br />
available to the <strong>personnel</strong> in the field service <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> who<br />
have had a broad background in the physical sciences, pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in<br />
English, <strong>and</strong> the ability to prepare readily understood <strong>and</strong> intererlting<br />
articles <strong>of</strong> a scientific nature for both lay readora <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional metc-<br />
orologists. It is highly desirable to fill one <strong>of</strong> these positions with a<br />
Person having a pr<strong>of</strong>essionnl knowledge <strong>of</strong> metsorology, along with the<br />
ability to edit technical arid scientific articles. The other position re-<br />
quires skill <strong>and</strong> accuracy in typing <strong>and</strong> stenography, <strong>and</strong> a general Itnowl-<br />
edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice procedure <strong>and</strong> management.<br />
These assignments include the editing <strong>of</strong> articles, tables, graphs, <strong>and</strong><br />
illustrations, for the Monthly <strong>Weather</strong> Review, <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> other soientific<br />
<strong>and</strong> technical papcra for publication, preparing copy for the printer,<br />

GRADE IMPROVEMENTS IN WEATHER BUREAU FIELD POSITIONS<br />
At tho request <strong>of</strong> the Crntral Office a Rurvey <strong>of</strong> the grades <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weather</strong><br />
bnww fleld powition8 is being made by C8C olnssifioation invcatigators.<br />
A thorough Mudy <strong>of</strong> thi~ subject WRR urged by tho Chid <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> n year<br />
or more ngo to dotormine whether the (XUtiee <strong>and</strong> responsibilities <strong>of</strong> certain<br />

INSTRUCTIONS<br />
IMPORTANCE OF UPPER AIR WINDS<br />
The <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>, in its uppcr air wind program, must ltcrp<br />
ahead <strong>of</strong> the rapid advancement in the field <strong>of</strong> ctviation <strong>and</strong> anticipatr<br />
its necds. The war has necessitated the building <strong>of</strong> planes which are<br />
faster <strong>and</strong> have a much higher ceiling than those uwd hcrct<strong>of</strong>on:.<br />
While these planes can fly abovn the wcdier, it is essential that information<br />
on wind directions <strong>and</strong> velocities bc availablcb Tor current us(! <strong>and</strong><br />
for operational planning for tho poRt war era. A large numbcr <strong>of</strong> rcquests<br />
have boon received for wind data at high altitudes arid in one<br />
cam the request called for data at 100,000 feet. Such requrcrts prcsent<br />
a real challenge to the Burcuu <strong>and</strong> onc which cnnnot be ignored.<br />
I It<br />
is nccrssary, thrrefore, tliat every effort bc madr to follow pibab<br />
<strong>and</strong> rabals to thc greatrst powiblc heights. While this mattw has been<br />
brought to the observers’ attention on numrrous occwions, it is HO urgent<br />
that we feel justifid in strrcrcring it8 importance again. Scvrral station@<br />

INFORMATION<br />
-^I- -.+-_<br />
--<br />
DIFFERENCES IN WEATHER TERMINOLOGY BETWEEN BRITISH AND U. S,<br />
USAGE<br />
In a recent circular to weather <strong>of</strong>fices the Controller <strong>of</strong> Canadian Meteorological<br />
Services called attention to oertain importaiit differences in<br />
meteorological practices <strong>and</strong> definitions that exist between North America<br />
<strong>and</strong> other parts <strong>of</strong> the world, particularly in the British Empire.<br />
This information may be <strong>of</strong> considerable interest to <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Weather</strong><br />
<strong>Bureau</strong> having contact with foreign pilots <strong>and</strong> other <strong>personnel</strong> or briefing<br />
U. 5. pilots for missions into othor countries. Most <strong>of</strong> thme distinctions<br />
have been pointed out in various <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> circulars<br />
When the International Numeral Code <strong>and</strong> “Present <strong>Weather</strong>” tables<br />
Were introduced about 1989. However, since that time there haa been<br />
an increasing number <strong>of</strong> contact8 with <strong>personnel</strong> not accustomed to our<br />
Practices, <strong>and</strong> it appears desirable to call attention again to the important<br />
difforencos. Tho following is taken largely from the Canadian Meteorological<br />
Service Circular :<br />
1. The British use the term rcfog” to denote any obstruction to vision, xvducjng<br />
the visibility to lees than 1100 yards, irrespective <strong>of</strong> whether it is caused by<br />
emoke, dust particles, or water dropleta. The word rrfog” is never ueed in Inkrnational<br />
practices when visibility is 1100 yards or more. For vieibility 1100<br />
yards to 2200 yards the word “rniatpJ (in British Air Ministry meteorological pmctice,<br />
mist <strong>and</strong> drizzle are distinct phenomena) or haze” is applied, depending on<br />
the mlative humidity. For visibility 2200 yards or mom the word 11 hams’ may be<br />
used.<br />
In mgard to visibility below 1100 gnrde, the Intarnational c r ~ ~ code p p makes<br />
speciflo provieion (I‘ ww” equals 80-49) for the meteorological phenomena <strong>of</strong><br />
dust storins, B<strong>and</strong> storms, <strong>and</strong> storms <strong>of</strong> drifting or blowing snow. In all other<br />
caw <strong>of</strong> visibility bolow 1100 yards, tho International Code uses the rlww” decade<br />
40-4 in conneation with fog or thick ham produced by dust (not currently blown<br />
by etrong surface winds).<br />
2, The British doanition <strong>of</strong> tt81eetJJ refom to precipitation <strong>of</strong> mdting mow <strong>and</strong><br />
rain or <strong>of</strong> rain <strong>and</strong> snow together. “SleetJ’ In U. 8. terminology represents froeen<br />
rain dropa.<br />
3. In British torminology the phrase “s<strong>of</strong>t hail” would daeoribe the phenomena<br />
called ((snow pellets” in North America.<br />
4. The ooncept <strong>of</strong> ceiling as defined in Circular N is not used at Air Ministry<br />
&teoroiogical Offlw, either in forecaste or at pilot brieflnp, <strong>and</strong> is not generally<br />
understood in oountria outside North America.<br />
Olouds arealways reported in amordance with International Oode Tabla<br />
(ULC~U,), Nh <strong>and</strong> Nh. The words “scattered” ana “brdken” to describe the sltg<br />
O<strong>and</strong>ition are not used hi Great Britain <strong>and</strong> other countdell outeide <strong>of</strong> Xorth Amor.<br />
In the Benee in which they are uaed in the airways reports in the <strong>United</strong> Stam,<br />
(317)
318<br />
6. In British Air Ministry terminology, visibility is always expressed in hundreds<br />
<strong>of</strong> yarb up to 4000 yards (unlcss exact multiple <strong>of</strong> one mile). Where it is<br />
desirable to use a verbal demription, the following International terms are ueed:<br />
v=7 good visibility (objects visible at 6t miles).<br />
V=8 very good visibility (objecte visible at 124 miles).<br />
v=Q<br />
excellent vieibility (objects visible at 31 miles).<br />
The tam tcunlimited” in connection with visibility (<strong>and</strong> ceiling) is not used at<br />
Air Ministry Meteorological Offices as it is in the <strong>United</strong> States.<br />
When discussing weather with pilots not accustomed to U. S. termi-<br />
nology, or when preparing U. 8. pilots for service in areas outside the<br />
<strong>United</strong> States, it will be helpful if <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>personnel</strong> keep the<br />
above distinctions clearly in mind.<br />
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AT FIELD STATIONS<br />
I. REPOHT ON HEBEAlUJH ACPIVITIEs AT FIELD ETATION8<br />
A summary <strong>of</strong> replies received in response to Circular Letter 37-44 is<br />
being sent to all first-order stations. It is believed that there ere still<br />
many worthwhile active research projects which should be reported as<br />
a part <strong>of</strong> the program <strong>of</strong> micteorological research coordination being<br />
carried on by the Central Office. Forms for reporting research activities<br />
should be obtained from Regional Offices <strong>and</strong> forwarded to the Chief <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Bureau</strong> marked, Attention : Division <strong>of</strong> Special Scientific Services.<br />
11. SIEBUJJ~ OF QUXsTIONNAlltE ON REtlEARUlI NEED8<br />
The Central Ofice recently conducted a survey among <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>,<br />
Army, Navy, Airline, <strong>and</strong> University meteorologists to determine what<br />
fields <strong>of</strong> meteorological research would, in their opinion, bring useful<br />
results in the shortest poesible time. The ten research <strong>topics</strong> most<br />
stressed are listed below in the ordcr <strong>of</strong> thcir prefcrenco:<br />
1. Descriptive studies <strong>of</strong> the physical processes <strong>of</strong> convergence, divergence, ver-<br />
tical motion, <strong>and</strong> vorticity.<br />
2. Rules <strong>and</strong> methods for using prognostic charttl in forecwting procodures.<br />
3. Research leading to more adequate uppor wind obsorvations.<br />
4. Studies loading to better nnd more Rtnndardiead ruuthods for using wuathor<br />
cham <strong>and</strong> diagrams.<br />
6. Research in evaluating the maps <strong>and</strong> charts used in forecasting, to eliminate<br />
mrtteriai which does not contribute to the accuracy <strong>of</strong> the forecast.<br />
8, Studies <strong>of</strong> factors controlling direction <strong>of</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> highs <strong>and</strong> lows.<br />
7. &march leading to greater accuracy <strong>of</strong> humidity moasurernents, ospocirrllY<br />
radiosondo humidity measuroments.<br />
8. Studiw <strong>of</strong> orographic infiuencea <strong>and</strong> topography at terminale.<br />
8. Preparation <strong>of</strong> climatic guides for forecasters.<br />
10. Bules <strong>and</strong> methods for forecwting specific weather elements.<br />
111. 1844 PLACEMENT ZXAMINATION<br />
Final results <strong>of</strong> the 1944 Placement Examination are being tabulated<br />
in the Central Office. The situation which wm analyzed by participants<br />
wm the A. M. map <strong>of</strong> January 30, 1939 <strong>and</strong> tho solution used in grading<br />
the analysis wae substantially that to be found in the I-Iistorical North-<br />
ern Hemisphere Map for that date. Evidenoe <strong>of</strong> need for instruction8<br />
in drawing prognostic charts ie shown by the results <strong>of</strong> tho oxamination,
31 9<br />
Principally in the fundamental requirement that the prognostic isobaric<br />
Patterns be consistent.<br />
Iv. ffi€lOLAlI~I1lI’8 IN MmEOROFY<br />
In view <strong>of</strong> the critical need for men with meteorological experience it<br />
will not be possible to relcnse employees from active duty for nssignment<br />
to tho Universities for study <strong>of</strong> advanced meteorology either on tuition-<br />
only or full-paid scholarships until the man-power situation ernes ma-<br />
terially. When it again becomes possible to assign men to the Univer-<br />
SitieA for study the same general procedure <strong>of</strong> selection will be followed<br />
&s last year.<br />

fense, has. established over 100 severe storm warning networks in the<br />
vicinity <strong>of</strong> military air bases. The program is about completed in Re-<br />
gions 4 <strong>and</strong> 6 <strong>and</strong> under way in Regions 2 <strong>and</strong> 3. Each network con-<br />
sists <strong>of</strong> about 80 observation points where local persons telephone severe<br />
storm warning information to a central location. The work <strong>of</strong> organiz-<br />
ing the service is based upon experience gained in establishing <strong>and</strong> op-<br />
erating thunderstorm warning networks for the protection <strong>of</strong> ordnauce<br />
<strong>and</strong> shell loading plants.<br />
The Kansas City Regional Office reports that one <strong>of</strong> the innovations in<br />
improving the network service which has brought about better recogni-<br />
tion <strong>of</strong> the individual observers waa initiated by the Cornhuslrer <strong>and</strong><br />
Nebraska Ordnance Plants. These two plants held a field day for the<br />
observers last semon <strong>and</strong> plan to do the same this year. Two other plants<br />
are planning to recognize the observers with a similar reward. Pictures<br />
<strong>of</strong> the observers in the plant paper, personal lctters, greeting cards, <strong>and</strong><br />
mention in local newspapers has increased the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the ob-<br />
servers BB reflected by desirable results. The publicity was instigated by<br />
plant <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>and</strong> indicates their opinion <strong>of</strong> the prograni.<br />

The subject “620.43 Harvest-spraying” on page 29 has been changed<br />
to “620.43 Special Forecast <strong>and</strong> Advices for Agriculture!’ Thie change<br />
will broaden the span <strong>of</strong> correspondence to be filed under this number<br />
<strong>and</strong> will cover the service outlined in CiPcular Letter No. 64-44 dated<br />
June 27, 1944,<br />
Correspondcnce on the subject <strong>of</strong> Ceilometers will bo placed under<br />
461.2.<br />
Station <strong>of</strong>ficiale should correct their copy <strong>of</strong> the manual accordingly.<br />
TELEGRAPHING MONTHLY MEANS DATA<br />
Current instructions provide that first-order stations prepare <strong>and</strong> trans-<br />
mit monthly means data on the first working day <strong>of</strong> each month, imme-<br />
diately after filing the a. m. synoptic reports for that day.<br />
It has come to the attention <strong>of</strong> the Central Office that with the pre-<br />
vailing shortage <strong>of</strong> <strong>personnel</strong>, it is difficult for some stations to comply<br />
with these instructions so early after the close <strong>of</strong> the month.<br />
Consequently, until further instructed, it will be satisfaotory for sta-<br />
tions to transmit these reports late in the day, if necessary, so that they<br />
will reach the Central Ofiice by the second working day <strong>of</strong> the month.<br />
FACILITIES FOR STATISTICAL CONSULTATION<br />
There is increasing application <strong>of</strong> statistical methods to the analysis<br />
<strong>of</strong> meteorological data, However, many opportunities are not fully re-<br />
alized because <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> training in statistics.<br />
Statisticians in the Scientific Services branch <strong>of</strong> the Central Office are<br />
prepared to give assistance to people working on projects involving sta-<br />
tistical techniques. This service i R somowhat limited by the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
other work requiring attention, but every effort will bc made to examine<br />
material submitted for review, <strong>and</strong> to make recommendations as to meth-<br />
ods <strong>and</strong> procedures in the early stages <strong>of</strong> project planning.

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> oiir <strong>of</strong>forta.<br />
Upon the torminiition <strong>of</strong> hostilitiee, we iiiust proceed with oyud vigor to liqui-<br />

This is tlie tiino to do the plnnniiig, although the wut-oven in Europe-is not<br />

SCIENCE SERVICE CLUB PROJECT<br />
The Office <strong>of</strong> Hydrologic Director <strong>of</strong> the Central Ofice is Cooperating<br />
with the Station Operations Division in organizing <strong>and</strong> preparing explan -<br />
tory material for the Science ClubH <strong>of</strong> America. This afiiliation <strong>of</strong><br />
young peoplc's science clubs is administered by Science Gorvice, which<br />
also sponsors tlic annual Science Talent Search.<br />
The <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> hm ngreed to sponsor a &mcc club project<br />
which will benefit the young people who take part in the projcct <strong>and</strong><br />
will also be <strong>of</strong> great value to the <strong>Bureau</strong>. This project will entail the<br />
observation <strong>of</strong> unusual rainfalls by Junior <strong>and</strong> Senior High School menibers<br />
<strong>of</strong> science clubs throughout the <strong>United</strong> States. Tlie incrcncre in<br />
valuable obscrvations which can result froin this activity, if the project<br />
is successful, will be very useful, particularly in tho work <strong>of</strong> tho Hydrometeorological<br />
section. There are about 5,000 scicnce C ~U~H, with an<br />
average <strong>of</strong> 20 members each.<br />
The working program will be made L respoiisibility <strong>of</strong> the Rcgional<br />
Hydrologic Engineers wlio will rlircct thr initial use <strong>of</strong> any important<br />
information collected on excessive rainfall to the cooporativc storm studies<br />
with the CorpR <strong>of</strong> Engineers <strong>and</strong> to appropriate forecmt centers.<br />
The original observations will be collccted by the club sponsor <strong>and</strong> forwarded<br />
to the Ofiicial in Charge <strong>of</strong> the appropriatca Wcatlier <strong>Bureau</strong> Section<br />
Center who will make a cursory analysis <strong>of</strong> the niaterinl <strong>and</strong> dtde whether or not any <strong>of</strong> the obscrvations should bc forwarded to the<br />
Regional Hydrologic Ihginecr. Thc colloctcd obwrvations will bc Rtorcd<br />
by the section center for at lnast (i months or until the Itegional ilydrologic<br />
IZngineer requests them.<br />
WARNINGS FOR SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS<br />
The IJenvcr <strong>of</strong>fice in cooperation with the State Hupcrinteiidrnt <strong>of</strong><br />
Public Instruction in Colorado has recc?ntly worked out a plan for Bend-<br />
ing storm warnings to school bus drivers by radio. Under this plan<br />
copies <strong>of</strong> weather broadcmts schedules will he furnislied all scliools in<br />
Colorado <strong>and</strong> all school bus drivers will bo required to obtain a weather<br />
forecsst before starting on their routes. The radio scliedulee will be sent<br />
to schools twice each year so that listings will bo kept up-to-date.<br />
This plan seein8 the best solution to the problem <strong>of</strong> providing warningR<br />
for the 1100 ~chool bus drivers in Colorado, a large majority <strong>of</strong><br />
whom operate in rural communities where there are no other means <strong>of</strong><br />
obtaining weatlier forecasts promptly. Experience with the system<br />
during the coming winter <strong>and</strong> spring is expected to dcrnonstrate its value<br />
<strong>and</strong> indicate any modifications that may be necessary to increasc its<br />
usefulness. It wa8 brought to the attention <strong>of</strong> Regional Directors<br />
early this Fall for possiblc URC in otlicr sections where similar. hazard#<br />
prevail.

Mingewski twisted the horizontal tangent screw to the right, then to<br />
the left, but the thin stratus waa already on the balloon <strong>and</strong> he could<br />
catch only glimpses <strong>of</strong> its bobbing forin.<br />
“Can you see anything’?” asked Smith, “I’ve lost it already!’<br />
“So have I; no, Wait-!’<br />
“Personally, I think this run i8 a dead pigeon;’ said tho rccorder,<br />
“but anyway, warning]:---- bad I ” Brnith laughed as he wrote down<br />
the figures. “You know you’re kidding yourself. Let’s call it a day<br />
-! low clouds’- <strong>and</strong> go home!’<br />
The run had reached that eye-straining stage whcre the ehape <strong>of</strong> the<br />
‘balloon melts into the cloud contours, emcrgee again to tantalize thf*<br />
observer, <strong>and</strong> continues bobbing through the veil <strong>of</strong> clouds until the<br />
observer seems to see twenty different balloon shapes. Mingewski had<br />
a puzzled look on his face: “hold it; I think I see something!’<br />
“Are you crazy? I don’t ace anything, but-ell, there’s a sunspot<br />
showing through the breaks!’ What Smith H ~ W was a sinall, vcrY<br />
bright disc burning through the eheat <strong>of</strong> stratus to the southeast.<br />
“That’s not the sun;’ Mingewski cried, If It’s our balloon I No sun ever<br />
jumped around like that, <strong>and</strong> besidee, what would the sun be doing way<br />
<strong>of</strong>f there? The balloon is above the overcast <strong>and</strong> the sun is shining OD.<br />
the white balloon to give <strong>of</strong>f that glow!’<br />
u What about it?” Smith looltetf bewildered.<br />
If Listen, so long as the overcast doesn’t gat too heavy, 1’In going to<br />
follow that balloon up ten or fifteen thous<strong>and</strong> feet just by tho r<strong>of</strong>lcction!’<br />
Smith stared at tho shining, untlcniably moving spot <strong>of</strong> light.<br />
“Alright:’ he said, “I RCC it, but I don’t exactly boliove it. ;inywaY,<br />
warning ! ! -!’<br />
That day Mingewski followed the balloon through a 2,000-foot over.<br />
cast to a height <strong>of</strong> 14,000 feet. Three day8 later ho tracked mother<br />
white balloon for 10,000 feet through a thin, broken stratus dock Thereafter<br />
whenever the opportunity prewnted itself-when a thin to mod*<br />
erab broken or overcast sky condition existed-he delibcrately sent al<strong>of</strong>t<br />
a white balloon <strong>and</strong>, with few exceptions, stayed with the pibal until it<br />
travelled far above the cloud layers. Tho occmional failures <strong>of</strong> his<br />
’glowbal’ runs he attribute8 to doceptivoly thick cloud layers misjudged<br />
from the ground.

LATIN-AMERICAN STUDENTS<br />
Forty Lath-American Htudonts who graduated from the Inter- Americpn<br />
Meteorological School at Medellin, Colombia, in the summer <strong>of</strong> 194$<br />
were awarded motoorologicd scholarships to Anierican universities. +fie&<br />
Courees bcgan in September <strong>and</strong> lasted for the most part until tho early<br />
part <strong>of</strong> Juno 1944. The univcrRitirs to which tho studonttl were mignhd<br />
wero: C. 1. T., Chicago University, M. I. T., New York UnivcrRity <strong>and</strong><br />
U. C. 1,. A. Each univorsity provided throo or moro tuition-frco scholarships.<br />
Tho dircctors <strong>of</strong> tho motcorological departments at, all five univorsitios<br />
commontod favorably on tho proparation reccivod at Mcdollin.<br />
It should be stated that tho studonts wcrc dooply appreoiativo for the<br />
courtoRies ehown thcm by Weathnr <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong>licials <strong>and</strong> at the univorsities.<br />
After chmpleting their course^, seven <strong>of</strong> tho students wero Hclectod to<br />
attend tho school <strong>of</strong> Tropical Meteorology in Pucrto Rico. Tho reinttinder<br />
Wore msigned to tho <strong>Weather</strong> Burouu stations at Denver, Fort Worth,<br />
KansaR City, Now Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, <strong>and</strong> Boston in ordor to<br />
apply the principles loarned in the universities <strong>and</strong> to gain a first-h<strong>and</strong><br />
acquaintance with our Rcrvicr work to tho public. Studonts nssignod to<br />
thoso stations were outspolton in their prdso <strong>of</strong> the instruction recoived.<br />
Tho final 2 wwks <strong>of</strong> their stay in tho <strong>United</strong> Statos wore Rpont at tho<br />
Contra1 Ofico where thoy had an opportunity <strong>of</strong> roceiving ~oine supblemcntnl<br />
inatruction in the &day forcwwt <strong>and</strong> tho central analysis units<br />
<strong>and</strong> by visits to tho raob units in tho Instriimcnt DiviRion nnd at tho<br />
Airport. Probably tho outst<strong>and</strong>ing point <strong>of</strong> intorcst was tho Pan Amorican<br />
Union where they were rcccivod personully by Dr. 1,. S. Rowc, tho<br />
Director-Goneml <strong>of</strong> tho Union. Tho studonts havo for tho most part<br />
returned to thoir homes, whcro about half <strong>of</strong> thorn hnvo vory d<strong>of</strong>inite<br />
prospoets <strong>of</strong> omploymont in the mntoorological sorvicos <strong>of</strong> t

detailed to the Dq Moines <strong>of</strong>fice for a period <strong>of</strong> two weeks, with subse-<br />

DESIGN OF WE FORM 1109 AND WB FORM 1114<br />
To answer questions received at the Central Ofice regarding the design<br />
<strong>of</strong> WB Form 1109, “Radiosonde Data:’ <strong>and</strong> WR Form 1114, “Cfidrd<br />
Pilot Balloon Data:’ a brief explanation follows :<br />
The <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> now uses punch card tabulating machince for<br />
adding, multiplying, clamifying, <strong>and</strong> sorting much <strong>of</strong> the information<br />
used in making summarias <strong>of</strong> various types. This is a fast, accurate <strong>and</strong><br />
automatic procedure. Because <strong>of</strong> wltr needs, the use <strong>of</strong> tlirse niachines<br />
for regular WeatKer <strong>Bureau</strong> functions has been lirnitod so far, but it is<br />
expected that after the war thoy will be put into more general uae.<br />
All data originally entered on WH Form 1109 <strong>and</strong> WB Form 11 14 are<br />
tranwribecl thert:frorn to trhulating machine cards in tho form <strong>of</strong> punched<br />
holes in predetermined positions on thr card, <strong>and</strong> un average operator<br />
punches about 1,OOO cards a day. The automatic compilation <strong>of</strong> these<br />
punch card record8 is accomplished electrically by the passago <strong>of</strong> the<br />
perforatrd card under brush contacts which complete olectrical circuits<br />
through the card at the position <strong>of</strong> the punchad hole. Tile closing <strong>of</strong><br />
these circuitn at definite times <strong>and</strong> from fixed positions on the card iH<br />
the basis upon which these machincv function.<br />
The punch cards used by the Weathrr I3urcm contain 80 coluinns<br />
correfponding to the colurrins on W13 Form 1109 arid W13 Form 1114.<br />
Each digit is amigned one colutnn on thc punch card. The punch card oper-<br />
ator punches the colurnns from l<strong>of</strong>t to right beginning at coluinn 1--each<br />
obeervation being plnced on a scparutc card, <strong>and</strong> it is absolutely npcefi-<br />
sary that the data be properly arranged <strong>and</strong> that each entry from sur-<br />
face to rriaxirrium altitude <strong>of</strong> the obnervation contain the number <strong>of</strong><br />
digib indieatcJd by the small nurnbrrs at tho hoad <strong>of</strong> the levcln PO that the<br />
operator need not stop to question the data. Freyucntly it is necessary<br />
for an obscrver to place a zero preceding a value in order to have the<br />
correct number <strong>of</strong> digits for R level. On some forms, thc same typo <strong>of</strong><br />
punch card is uaed for ttic lower <strong>and</strong> upper levels <strong>and</strong>, consequently,<br />
some levels provide for more digits than arc ever required. In such<br />
casea zeros are generally printed in thc appropriate columns.<br />
The following is cited<br />
an exarriple <strong>of</strong> the efficiency <strong>of</strong> tabulating<br />
machines. When the <strong>Weather</strong> 13urcau publishod the present WU Form<br />
1048 <strong>and</strong> WB Form 1043A, “Tables for Computing .Horizontal Distances<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pilot Balloonrr~’ several months were spant in conipiling axid chocking<br />
the data, typing <strong>and</strong> pro<strong>of</strong>reading the copy for thc printcr, arid printing<br />
the tables. Recently a request wan received for a set <strong>of</strong> horizontgl<br />
distahce tables based on an mcensional rate different from those reyu-<br />
Iarly used by the <strong>Bureau</strong>. With the aid <strong>of</strong> tabulating niachincs it was
possible to make <strong>and</strong> check all computations, tabulate the data, cmd<br />
have the finished printed copies available in a period <strong>of</strong> 6 days.<br />

DISCONTINUANCE OF PIBAL8 AT POINT SUR. CALIF.<br />

AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY REORGANIZATION<br />
<strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> members <strong>of</strong> the American Metcorological Society will<br />
be interested in knowing that the proposed reorgnnization <strong>of</strong> the Society<br />
waa discussed nt the recent mecting <strong>of</strong> Regional Directors <strong>of</strong> thc <strong>Bureau</strong><br />
in New York City. The rrorganization plan proposed by the Council<br />
<strong>of</strong> the/ Society was described by the Chief <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Bureau</strong>. The purpose<br />
<strong>of</strong> the plan is to enable the Society to exp<strong>and</strong> its activities <strong>and</strong> provide<br />
for recognition <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional membership. The plan will be voted on<br />
at the annual meeting <strong>of</strong> the Society in ICnnsns City in Jnnuary. It is<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the most important steps proposed by the Society since its organ-<br />
ization. There are many meteorologists who desire to promote <strong>and</strong><br />
support pr<strong>of</strong>essional meteorology in a more energetic manner <strong>and</strong> this<br />
reorganization would provide a channel for their support, both in a finnn-<br />
cia1 way <strong>and</strong> in form <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional papers <strong>and</strong> other activities. Pro-<br />
fessional meteorologists who so desire can join as pr<strong>of</strong>essional members;<br />
those who prefer to remain in their present Rtatus a8 general members,<br />
can do so without change. In this way the two groups can support <strong>and</strong><br />
supplemcnt each other in pulling together for the common good in mete,<br />
orology rather than having the pr<strong>of</strong>ession divided within itself <strong>and</strong> weak-<br />
cncd rn it would be if there were two or more independent Bocicties.<br />
All members are urged to give this important subject thoir careful attcn-<br />
tion <strong>and</strong> support.<br />
FAWS CONFERENCE HELD IN WASHINGTON OCTOBER 20 TO 28<br />
.A conference wrn held in Washington October 20 to 25 with Mr. Louis<br />
R. Jurwitz <strong>and</strong> Mr. Verne D. Steves <strong>and</strong> interested project leaders in the<br />
Central OfBca for the purpose <strong>of</strong> preparing st<strong>and</strong>ard instructions for the<br />
Flight Advisory <strong>Weather</strong> Service. Inasmuch m the FAWS hm been<br />
operating for nearly a year with only liniited coordinating instructions,<br />
it was considered appropriate that minimum st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>of</strong> operation bo<br />
agreed upon <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficially established. Iteprcsentatives <strong>of</strong> the CAA Air<br />
Trafiic Control <strong>and</strong> Communications Divisions, <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the AAF Flight<br />
Service attended certain sessions <strong>of</strong> the Conference during which traffic<br />
control procedures <strong>and</strong> their relation to FAWS operation were discussed.<br />
The conference produccd a FAWS operations nianual which is being<br />
presented in draft form to Regional Directors for discussion with FAWS<br />
supervisors <strong>and</strong> airway forecasters. The results <strong>of</strong> the coniments <strong>and</strong><br />
suggestions received will be incorporated into a provisional FAIVS oper-<br />
ations manual which will, for the present, be issued only to forecast cen-<br />
ters, Regional Oflires, <strong>and</strong> PAW3 units. Oeneral distribution in tho<br />
<strong>Bureau</strong> will be made <strong>of</strong> the final manual after trial <strong>of</strong> these provisional<br />
instructions. It is expected that the instructions contained in thiH mnn-<br />
ual will be put into eBcct abwt January 15, 1916.

Undoubtedly, many lives were saved during the September hurricane<br />
through emergency warnings distributed by the police, especially to<br />
those in isolated communities or traveling on the highways.<br />
It is coneidered highly desirable that we make whatever arrangements<br />
nncewary to utilize these channels <strong>and</strong> to obtain the cooperation<br />
<strong>of</strong> police <strong>and</strong> highway <strong>of</strong>ficials in every State in disseminating emergency<br />
warnings for the protection <strong>of</strong> life <strong>and</strong> property. This service should<br />
include warnings to motorists <strong>and</strong> school bus drivers <strong>of</strong> hazardow highway<br />
conditions as well as warnings <strong>of</strong> a more serious nature involving,<br />
as in the case <strong>of</strong> hurricanes <strong>and</strong> floods, the evacuation <strong>of</strong> exposed areas<br />
<strong>and</strong> other emergency measures.<br />
In order to place the systcni in operation, it is requested that contacts<br />
be made <strong>and</strong> appropriate arrangerncnts worked out for every State, These<br />
arrangements should be coordinated by the forecast centers <strong>and</strong> regional<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices to avoid overlapping distribution. Also, it should be noted that<br />
many local <strong>Weather</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> Ofices as well a8 forecast centers now havo<br />
arrangements for furnishing police nnd highway patrols with warnings<br />
<strong>and</strong> these Rhould bc incorporated.<br />
When plans are completed, charts showing the networks <strong>and</strong> diagraming<br />
communication layouts should be prepared <strong>and</strong> reproduced for<br />
the inforniation <strong>of</strong> forecast centers, the IEcgional 0 tfccs, the Central<br />
Ofice, <strong>and</strong> local <strong>of</strong>fices involved in the arrangements. Tho diagrams<br />

DELAYED SHIPMENT OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS<br />
Section 12 <strong>of</strong> Executive Order No. 8688, dated November 7, 1040,<br />
Eiven in the Fiscal Manual, Paragraph 2416, states that “All shipments<br />
allowable under these regulations shall begin within 0 months <strong>of</strong> the effective<br />
date <strong>of</strong> the transfer <strong>of</strong> the employee unless an extension is speeifically<br />
granted by the head <strong>of</strong> the department or cstablishment!’ Employees<br />
being permanently transferred <strong>and</strong> who have household goods to ship<br />
should notify the Central Ofice prior to the expiration <strong>of</strong> the 6-month<br />
Period, if it is desired to postpone the shipment, giving the remon therefor.<br />
Action will thcn be taken to obtain the Secrotary’s approval to<br />
extend tho time limit to not to exceed 2 years from the effective date <strong>of</strong> the<br />
transfor. A note on tho Form 118 that tho traveler wishes to delay the<br />
shipment <strong>of</strong> his goods is not sufficicnt. Reneons for postponing the shipment<br />
must be given. An article similar to this appeared in the April<br />
1943 issue <strong>of</strong> TOPICS<br />
AND PJCRRONNICL,<br />
pnge 172. The rritgpenrancc <strong>of</strong><br />
the article is due to tho fact that many rcquests for authority to postpone<br />
the shipment <strong>of</strong> goods are being received after the 6 month8 from the<br />
@ectiva dntn <strong>of</strong> transfer hne cxpircd.<br />
STOCK PORM 118, REQUEST FOR TRAVEL AUTHORITY<br />
Attention is called to thc article, benring the above titlc, in tho March<br />
1944 issuc <strong>of</strong> TOPICY AND PERSONNEL, pnge 280. Forms continue to be<br />
received not fully filled in-ono oiiiission being thc complete name <strong>of</strong><br />
the employee’s headquarters, thnt is, whether Regional Ofice, City OfIicc,<br />

!!<br />
Mrs!’ is <strong>of</strong>ten omitted (~9 well w whether tho employee will bo in chargn<br />
<strong>of</strong> or an assistant at tho station to which ho or sho is being nssignud,<br />
Thcsc are little things, but their inclusion on the Forms 118 would be<br />
helpful in tho proparation <strong>of</strong> Travel Orders. In the future Form 118<br />
should be forwarded to the Central Ofiice in duplicate.<br />
