Los Angeles St. ANAHEIM (Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles on the State of California’s $50,000 rainmaking research program) BY WILLIAM H. ALLEN SACRAMENTO UP—The big map of California in a state office here is liberally sprinkled with green patches showing where rainmakers are at work. The men who seed clouds to try to make more rain fall are more active than ever before, especially in the southern end of the state. Are they doing any good? Offhand you might think this winter’s big rain and snow falls are answer enough. But the state wants more scientific evidence on rain. It has embarked on a $50,000 research program. The engineers in charge hope to have some solid answers by the end of a year and a half. It’s not going to be an easy job. If there’s any effect of cloudseeding on rainfall, it’s probably pretty small. That means much of the work will be a purely statistical search for the slight upward slant of a graph that would show an area where rainmakers operated received more rain than it should normally have expected. Perhaps there won’t be any such deviations. All impartial evaluations of rainmaking so far published have reported no significant effects. But California corporations, public agencies and groups of farmers are paying good money for cloudseeding in the hope and belief results are being accomplished. And the California Research Program has a couple of advantages over previous ones. R. R. Reynolds, the Water Resources division engineer who is the supervisor, explains: 1. California is a coastal state, so the storms that hit here, moving in from the Pacific, presumably haven’t been affected by any cloudseeding activity elsewhere. Rainmaking Program in Good Shade program passed a law requiring all would-be rainmakers to obtain licenses and to give public information of their intended operations. Nolds and his small staff know what the rainmakers are to and where. In addition, Reynolds points that the state is getting good operation from agencies like U. S. Weather Bureau and the rainmakers themselves. It is expected the state work will be done by the University of California under a contract which is being executed now. Reynolds’ crew at present rounding up all available information on past and present raining activities and looking for best way to find out what means. “We’ll go down any that looks promising,” as he said. The evaluation could run some such line as this: Take two areas close enough gether that their rainfall re have some relationship to one other. Say the records show area “A” gets on the average half inch more rain per hour than area “B.” That won’t be true of a storm, of course, but a graph be made to show the average over area “A” and if the producing any results, the line the graph should move a little. The same kind of thing can be done for the runoff of rivers. There are more than 28 miles of telephone wire in United States.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDITION RIVER FREEWAY RD TO ARTESIA AVENUE Highways was proposed some 14 years ago by the city of Long Beach. From the Los Angeles civic center to Olympic bivol, the freeway would follow the Santa Ana freeway route, then would branch to the south to connect up with Pacific Coast Hwy. Premier States Japan Has No Plan Of Signing Red China Trade Treaty TOKYO (UP)—Premier Shigeru Yoshida said today Japan has no intention of signing a peace and trade treaty with red China. But, he added, Japan is ready to sign a treaty with Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist government in Formosa as soon as legally possible.

But, he added, Japan is ready to sign a treaty with Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist government in Formosa as soon as legally possible. Yoshida declared his government's China policy in a letter to U.S. State Department Adviser John Foster Dulles. The letter, dated Dec. 24, was released today. "There are many reasons to believe," Yoshida wrote, "that the communist regime in China is backing the Japanese communist party in its program of seeking violently to overthrow the constitutional system and the present government of Japan." Furthermore, he said, the Sino-Soviet mutual assistance treaty concluded in Moscow in 1950 is "virtually a military alliance aimed against Japan." "In view of these considerations, I can assure you that the Japanese government has no intention to conclude a bilateral treaty with the communist regime of China." Russia lately has sought to win Japan’s favor with trade overtures. Yoshida recalled that Japan already has established an overseas agency in Formosa, "reflecting the importance which my government attaches to relations with the National government of China." He added: Mrs. Byrd Canty Dies in Fullerton Mrs. Byrd Van Beber Canty died after an extended illness yesterday at the Byer Rest Home in Fullerton.

Losing Battle With House Fly WASHINGTON (UP) — Man is still waging a losing battle in his efforts to rid himself of the common house fly, the Agriculture Department reported today. During World War II, government scientists came up with DDT, an insecticide they hoped eventually would doom the fly and the mosquito. But after some time, it was discovered the fly as well as the mosquito was developing a resistance to DDT. In a research report issued today, the department said laboratory strains of house flies have been bred that spend their entire adult lives and lay eggs while confined in cages thoroughly coated with DDT. The department said its scientists now are studying possibilities of using baits along with rigid sanitation as a method of controlling flies. In Lisbon Feb. 2 LONDON (UP) — The North Atlantic Council today was called to meet in Lisbon on Feb. 10. Announcement of the new date—the original meeting scheduled for Feb. 2 in Lisbon was postponed—was made by Lester Pearson, Canadian secretary of state for external affairs and chairman of the council. France had asked the postponement to gain time for more discussion of the projected European army, proposed as a nucleus for the 12-nation North Atlantic Treaty Organization's military force to defend the west against Soviet expansion. Meanwhile the French government has fallen and France is still without a cabinet which can reach decisions on the army plan. Dies Early Today Louis F.
