Stormy Weather . . .
By TRX EASLEY
Washington—'-P'—Texans can
expect five days of tornadoes a
year, the U. S. Weather Bureau
advises. ' (
This and other information about
tornadoes was supplied by the
Weather Bureau and Federal Com
munications Commission to Rep.
Lindley Beckworth o? Gladewater.
Beckworth, prompted by the
storm of a few weeks ago which
did considerable damage in Upshur
County and nearby Louisiana, had
asked the agencies if the warn
ing service could be improved.
“I wasn’t criticizing them,”
Beckworth said. <4 I was wanting
to see what they are doing, and if
they couldn’t improve the warning
service.” ! \
He found that there Is close
cooperation between the weather
bureau and FCC in use of radio
communications to get warnings
to Isolated communities as wall
as the lerger towns, end with
the Red Groea In relief work.
Officials of the agencies ack
nowledged the warnings system
Isn’t perfect. Sometimes a storm
will originate in a remote area
and move Into populated sections
before anyone knows It’s coming.
The Weather Bureau’s storm ex~
pert, I. R. Tannehlll, says a tor
nado and a “twister” are the same
thing, and both come under the
general classification of cyclones,
“like \ a horse comes under the
