European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 12, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 14 the stars and stripes sunday june 12, 1977 starting in sept. Nations Are joining forces in weather test Geneva not to test the intrinsic limits on weather forecasting and Lay the basis for an understanding of climate change one of the most extensive International scientific experiments in history is being organized. The tools will include american euro Pean japanese and soviet Earth satellites some so research ships hundreds of bal loons adrift in the High atmosphere and buoys adrift in Little frequented parts of the  Argus receivers Riding Ameri can satellites will collect data from the balloons and buoys determining their positions. Transoceanic airliners will carry Black boxes automatically recording weather data on the Way. Some May report their readings Over Earth satellite relay. The buildup of the operational network and testing of equipment will begin in sep tember in preparation for a year of full fledged observations starting in septem Ber 1978. During that year there will be two special observing periods in Jart uary february and May june. These will foe focus on the most problematic area of the world weather picture the tropics and will employ the More costly devices such As Dro Sondes that Are to Parachute Down from american Long Range aircraft. These will indicate wind speeds and directions at Many Levels Over tropical latitudes in the Pacific and Indian  every country in the world is expected to participate since ground based observations will be made by the thousands of National weather stations integrated into the global network known As the world weather watch. Only the role of China remains Uncertain. The project is being organized by the world meteorological organization Here of which China is a member Taiwan is not. The co sponsor however is the inter National Council of scientific unions to which Taiwan still belongs and which has therefore been shunned by peking. The program is known As the first Garp global Experiment. Garp is the acronym for the global atmospheric research pro Gram. Started a decade ago As a Long term Effort.

K7i global Experiment the entire Atmo sphere of the Earth and the sea surface will be observed in detail for the first  it is a successor to Gate the Garp at lactic tropical Experiment carried out in 1974, which studied intently the Region be tween Africa and Brazil. It is assumed that beyond a certain time period weather becomes intrinsically inde terminate. Some suspect it May be two weeks. The global Experiment seeks to find the answer by providing the huge weather enter computers with two classes of information they now  is a succession of reasonably com plete pictures of the state of the Atmo sphere at All Levels and in All parts of the world during one year. The other is to derive from such observations better formulations of the rules that govern the atmosphere s  of recent concern Over climate change an Effort will be made to investigate its causes within the limitation of a one year period of  the satellite observations will be made from four vehicles in North South orbits and five in geosynchronous orbits evenly spaced around the Equator. In a geosynchronous orbit the vehicle 22,000 Miles aloft is High enough so that its move ment matches the Earth s rotation and it remains above the same geographical to  american satellite already in orbit has been assigned a position above South America scanning Ocean areas on either Side of the americas. Another american vehicle is Over the Central  aug. 31 the mate sat of the european space Agency is to be launched to orbit Over Africa. A japanese vehicle will be placed Over new Guinea scanning the Western Pacific and in late 1978 the soviet Union plans to place a corns satellite Over the Indian  vehicles will transmit successive images of Cloud cover from which wind directions at three Levels of the atmosphere can be derived. This will be done two to four times  the satellites in Polar or North South orbits two will be of the american tiros Type and two of the soviet meteor system. Being Only a few Hundred Miles aloft they will provide More detailed information on Snow and Cloud cover As Well As temperatures at various Levels within the atmosphere and on sea  tiros satellites also will carry the. French balloon and buoy data collection and position determining system. Some 320 constant level balloons will be released to Drift through tropical skies at a height of about 47,000 feet. They will transmit temperature data and their Drift will reveal upper air  will be released from such Sites As Samoa and Canton Island in the Pacific and ascension Island in the Atlantic. The project is being organized by the National Center for atmospheric research in Boul Der colo., with launching to focus on the two special observing periods. It is also during those periods that the buoys Are to be deployed in the Region be tween 20 and 65 degrees South latitude. They Are designed to nil in the largest Gap of All the vast oceanic area surrounding Antarctica. Ships supplying bases on that continent will be among those launching the buoys 100 of which Are to be furnished by Canada plus 200 from other countries. Ships of participating nations at least twice daily will release balloons to ascend through the atmosphere reporting weather  tropics Are the focus of special efforts not Only because they Are poorly observed but also because Small scale Phenomena there seem to play an important role providing most of the Energy for atmospheric circulation. Letters to the editor real Issue is. Communism1 once again the forces of liberalism have come to  of the Ever growing communist threat. President Carter s two top henchmen Cyrus Vance and Andrew Young Are energetically undermining the anti communist governments of Rhodesia and South Africa and Are pushing for renewed relations with  has already made it perfectly Clear that Rhodesia will become a communist state by declaring that a communist Southern Africa is of no threat to the United  Vance has proclaimed regardless of circumstances Rhodesia can expect no Aid from the United  the real Issue is not the question of racism but a much bigger conflict that of communism is. Freedom. The liberals and communist african nations use racism As a Guise knowing it will get them what they want As it has in the past and As it always  typical policy of the United states government has always been not to inter Fere with the internal affairs of foreign governments i.e., if Rhodesia and South Africa prefer a conservative form of government that s their business not ours. However if Rhodesia needs Aid to thwart communism aggression then it s our duty to provide it As we did to Greece Korea Vietnam  the most classic example of Liberal policy was Angola. Here two pro West forces were battling one marxist army. The anti communist forces were lacking both men and material. However All they requested were supplies to help combat this red menace. Nevertheless our Liberal dominated Congress walked even at this which was enough of a gesture for Cuba to Send Over 10.000 regular troops to fight alongside the marxist rebels and for no one stopped recently i had occasion to accompany one of my paediatric patients who was suf Fering from a potentially life threatening illness on an ambulance ride from my dispensary to the 97th general Hospital in  in route we were involved in a non injury automobile Accident with a German citizen. The ambulance attendant went immediately to cat for another ambulance and the maps while the ambulance Driver stood Roadside and attempted to Flag Down passersby for help. After about 10 minutes an my Sedan arrived with two enlisted personnel who immediately began an Accident investigation after failing to show even the slightest con Cern for my patient. The German police arrived and did in quire into the diagnosis of my patient. After is minutes an army ambulance from the local dispensary where the Accident occurred Hanau arrived and took me Andy patient on to the Hospital. I should like to Point out that during the 15 minutes we spent waiting for an ambulance three . Army vehicles passed directly by and around our wrecked ambulance 1. A jeep with two occupants of unknown rank.2. A Sedan containing an enlisted Driver and a held Grade officer. 3. A Dodge pickup truck containing two enlisted men. While the occupants of All three vehicles looked none of them stopped to Render assistance. The sad thing about the incident is the fact that in my experience it is not isolated. The above is Only one of the Many Rea sons Why i won t be re enlisting when my tour is Over. Cap. Richard Crook Gellhausen Germany other communist nations to pour in end less supplies. Of course the inevitable occurred and Angola fell to the communists. Perhaps Zaire will be next. Rhodesia on the other hand in t a Congo or Vietnam it s Well organized within and steadfastly anti communist. It int subject to internal upheavals or Poulla Disu Sty typical of countries that fall into communist hands Rhodesia will not go Down without a fight. The surrounding red african nations realize this and that is Why they Are presently avoiding direct armed confrontation though they blatantly sup port numerous guerilla movements which operate again a Rodesia and South Africa. Instead they Are hoping to destroy rho Desia politically or through guerrilla War fare. All this will occur As the diplomats Haggle in Geneva and the liberals clamor Justice is done and War has been Avert  order to understand the present we must examine the past. World War ii was the first real test of America s ability to wage War. During this Era american Diplo Macy came from the bomb Bay of a b-17 and one must admit that a 500 Pound bomb is More convincing than any politician. The Only peace settlement America accepted then was unconditional surrender. Between 194s and 1950 americans began thinking More in terms of peace instead of War. We began adhering More to the policy of appeasement instead of armed intervention. Korea was the first prime example of this. Basically they had half and we had half. Being somewhat greedy though the communists wanted All of it. Only when the Republic of Korea was cornered did the United nations come to their Aid. What followed is history but Korea is significant because it was the first War we did t win and this provided the liberals with the foothold they needed. Now they Are Able to claim that War had t accomplished anything that peace talks and appeasement saved us. Vietnam As we All know never had our full support. At its Peak we had a Mere half million men there we used More in just the Battle of the bulge. There was no excuse for the collapse of South Vietnam. We had the men and the resources to Winthe War. As a matter of fact a wave of bombing brought the communist delegation to its senses when peace talks were stalled. Of course the liberals the Jane fondas and the Edward Kennedy got their Way and what happen to Vietnam is also history. We be seen what liberalism has done to Post Franco Spain. What excuse will Carter give when he has to run a Gauntlet of communist sniper fire on his drive fro the White House to Capitol Hill what excuse can Young give for his Bla Tant support of the marxist rebels operating out of Botswana Zambia and Mozambique rebels who for some reason that is beyond Normal grasp consid ering they Are liberating the Black majority in fascist Rhodesia have taken to murdering Blacks in far greater num Bers than Whites. Lastly How can the american people allow Vance and Young to speak for our nation through their own words Carter Vance and Young have shown themselves to be backers of kidnappers murderers and anarchists whose  of liberation is a Well placed Bullet in the Back of the head perhaps instead of interfering with the policies of our allies we should concern " sgt.
