  • Two Ice Glaze Storms Over U. S. Interior Plains, January, 1949 GORDON B
    ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FOR 1963 316 Two Ice Glaze Storms Over U. S. Interior Plains, January, 1949 GORDON B. SCHILZ, Southeastern State College, Durant After driving, January 1st, 1948, from Detroit to St. Louis on Ice glazed highways from which more than 50 telephone and power line crews were clearing broken poles and tangled wires, it seemed worthwhile to ascertain the area, duration and damage cost of. such a storm. A year later first­ hand observation and experience during four days of January without water, light, telephone, or newspaper, caused by severe ice glaze damage in southeastern Oklahoma stimulated this study. Ice glaze storms may result from (1) a moist air mass Which is present over a region being uplifted by an inrushing polar continental air mass; or (2) from warm moist air over-running the cool dry mass; with temperature of surface air mass between 10°-33° F. while the upper moist air reaches a condensation point above 32°. During January 9-12, 1949, such conditions were charted by the Weather bureau (Map I, Frontal Action, 1st Ice Glaze Storm) as cPK pushed from Canada towards Texas and Kentucky. The trend of the cold front action (designated on the map by heavy black lines) was influenced (1) by a slow movement of the low over the Great Lakes on the 9th and 10th and (2) by "high" on the 11th and 12th over Alabama­ North Carolina. This ice glaze storm was characterized by the Des Moines meteorologist as "caused by a wide stream of warm moist air overrunning a shallow cold air-mass that covered the mid-west" (1).

  • John Latham in Owen Dixon's Eyes
    Chapter Six John Latham in Owen Dixon’s Eyes Professor Philip Ayres Sir John Latham’s achievements are substantial in a number of fields, and it is surprising that, despite the accessibility of the Latham Papers at the National Library, no-one has written a biography, though Stuart Macintyre, who did the Australian Dictionary of Biography entry, has told me that he had it in mind at one stage. Latham was born in 1877, nine years before Owen Dixon. As a student at the University of Melbourne, Latham held exhibitions and scholarships in logic, philosophy and law, and won the Supreme Court Judges’ Prize, being called to the Bar in 1904. He also found time to captain the Victorian lacrosse team. From 1917 he was head of Naval Intelligence (lieutenant-commander), and was on the Australian staff at the Versailles Peace Conference. Latham’s personality was rather aloof and cold. Philosophically he was a rationalist. From 1922-34 he was MHR for the Victorian seat of Kooyong (later held by R G Menzies and Andrew Peacock), and federal Attorney-General from 1925-29 in the Nationalist government, and again in 1931–34 in the Lyons United Australia Party government. In addition he was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for External Affairs from 1931-34. He resigned his seat and was subsequently appointed Chief Justice of the High Court (1935-52), taking leave in 1940-41 to go off to Tokyo as Australia’s first Minister to Japan. Latham was a connoisseur of Japanese culture. He fostered a Japan-Australia friendship society in the 1930s, and in 1934 he led an Australian diplomatic mission to Japan, arranging at that time for the visit to Australia of the Japanese training flotilla.
