I percent right, the next day 80, the third day 70 and so on. But if Dr. Kimball hadn't been paying any attention to the accuracy of his first few five day predictions, how did he know all that? "Oh, that? Why, we've been issuing long term forecasts for 20 years. For 20 years, every Saturday, we've issued a forecast for the week. The only difference now is that we've built up a better foundation: we make our predictions on a broader survey.

But it's essentially the same thing I don't know why there has been all this fuss. The really trouble. ome thing is that it has had much attention. It gets people to read into it what was not intended to be there. "I would like earnestly to caution people against using a five day forecast, covering a large section of the country, to tell them what the weather will be at some individual place on a specific date.

It is onlv valuable for someone who has a job to do for several days. He can make preliminary' plans, subject to adjustment. It's a blanket prediction and can only give you trends." People who expect to learn from the five day forecast whether it will rain or shine at the garden party of his Aunt Lulu in Louisville at, 2:30 p.m. next Thursday "read into it what was not intended" and so find "errors." The result is to make people lose faith in the Weather Bureau's forecasts, long term or short. Dr.

Kimball is against that. By I. KAVFMAN Dr. James H. Kimball, chief meteorologist of the New York Weather Bureau in other words, our Weather Man feels just a little hurt, he disclosed yesterday, about the way people have taken to his five day weather reports.

They have taken too enthusiastically to them, Dr. Kimball revealed, expecting from them what no five day forecast should be asked to produce. And he doesn't like it. It disturbs him. Dr.

Kimball gave the first sign of his disturbed state of mind while answering a query as to how accurate the new long term weather prophesying had turned out. to be the first forecast had been Issued ten days before and the second, of course, five days thereafter. Value Diminishes Oh. said the good doctor, they had turned out very good, he supposed, in a general way. but "we haven't paid much attention to that.

The inquirer, surprised, asked; "What! Aren't you interested?" Dr. Kimball waved the question aside. "A forecast." said he, "simply diminishes in value with the length of period. Each passing day it gets a little poorer until it gets down to where it has no better than a 50 percent chance of being right In a five day forecast that 50 percent limit, he went on. is reached just about on the last day.

In the first 24 hours after the forecast Is made, it is likely to be 90 descension with the natives and lii. iu.iuiod treely, in contrast with the usual, smug attitude of American tourists, according to the Queens clergyman. He concedes that conditions exist in Mexico that could be used by outside forces or native elements with foreign backing to' whip up the appearance of a revolution but maintains that It would not be the expression of the popular will. The American oil companies, whose land holdings were expropriated, would probably be responsible if wide spread violence should arise, he says. "The outbreak would be intensified by the presence of large numbers of Nazi agents and other fifth columnists," he added.

"They would operate on the theory that serious trouble in Mexico would immobilize a large part of our Army near the border. Hundreds of Ger man spies are smuggling into Mexico on Japanese boats. The Ges tapo headquarters was only a short distance down the street from my hotel. "The Mexicans aren't any more revolutionary than any other people. Practically all their revolutions have been fomented and encouraged by outside elements." The increasingly better understanding between this country and its Southern neighbor, he reported, has found concrete expression in the organization of the Ameriran Friends of the Mexican people, which con.iits of Americans residing below the Dorder.

The society sponsors fiestas, forums and other opportunities for the people of the two countries to mingle socially, He Can't Stomach Willkie But Son Can and Did San Francisco, Aug. 31 (U.Ri Philip Rambo, a life long Democrat, wa.s embarrassed today when physicians removed a Willkie for President button from the stomach of Philip Jr. Rabbi Abraham Dubin of Flush ing. student of Mexican internal and foreign affairs ever since he was stationed for three years in San Antonio, recently returned "a surprised man" from a month's visit in Mexico. After reading accounts in the American press on conditions "South of the border," he decided there were probably two Mexicos the one he visited and the one described in certain leading American papers.

'Things were peaceful the entire time I was there." he said. "No revolution was brewing. The people worship Cardenas and as long as he remains behind Gen. Ca macho there'll be no popular uprising, as far as I can see." During his sojourn, which began a week after the presidential elec tion, the Queens man visited peasant farms, colleges, prisons, silver mines and oil fields, as well as historic and artistic landmarks. This was his third visit since his transfer from San Antonio in 1935 to the Temple Gates of Prayer in Queens.

He finds that both her internal i affairs and foreign relations have altered materially in the past eight years. "Relations between this country and Mexico are much friendlier than they ever were," he said, "with a number of factors contributing to the better understanding. For one thing, the rise of Hitler and the invasion of the smaller countries turned Mexico from her former admiration for Germany to a kinder feeling towards America. The other main causes were Car denas' realization of the need for closer ties with this country and President Roosevelt's good neighbor policy." The cordial relations formerly existing between Mexico and Germany were largely based on the fact that immigrants from the latter country mingled without con MARS ACTS AS CUPID The war brought Mr. and Mrs.

Good (or 10 Years, Engineer Says Sees Independent Link, Planned to Be Razed, Built for Permanence The Independent Subway spur between Forest Hills and the World's Fair, due to be razed immediately on the close of the exposition, was constructed along permanent lines and is good for ten years, a leading engineer of the city maintains.

George J. Gross of Jackson Heights, civic leader and spokesman of the North Shore residents opposed to demolition of the subway, told the Brooklyn Eagle yesterday that his group had commissioned the engineer to inspect the spur personally and to study the plans on which it was built. Moses Opposes Retention Park Commissioner Moses and John H. Delaney, chairman of the Board of Transportation, are opposed to retention of the spur on the grounds that it was built on a temporary basis and would require large sums of money for conversion to a permanent status. Their stand is also based on the charge that the subway spur, for which an additional fare is collected at the Fair station, would not be self sustaining for a long time.

The civic leader disclosed that the engineer submitted a detailed report on his findings in which he compared the spur favorably with the Long Island Railroad trestle over Jamaica Bay and contended that the wood pilings of the subway would be safe for at least ten years and not two or three, as city officials contend. Sees Boom in Building "The engineer pointed out that the subway runs along the edge of the World's Fair site and would not interfere with Commissioner Moses' plan for a park on the site," Mr. Gross said. "He also called attention to the fact that Horace Harding Boulevard is undeveloped. If this subway remains, it won't take long before apartment houses and I multiple dwellings line the highway, "The city seems to forget that i razing of the spur would mean no rapid transit facilities to and from the World's Fair park.

People from Brooklyn and Manhattan and the Bronx would find it difficult to reach the park." The Jackson Heights man said that if the spur were retained, a bus route should be put into operation between the end of the line and Little Neck along Horace Harding Boulevard, giving rapid transit to an inacessible area.

Today is the day the Health Department's new ruling on the classification of pasteurized milk takes effect. Since the sanitary quality of the grade milk supply in the city has improved for the pa.t de i cade to the point where it is all safe and wholesome.

Health Commissioner John L. Rice pointed out. "there is no compelling public health reason for continuing to provide for two grades of milk in the sanitary rode," which has been amended to provide for one set of standards for all milk except certified milk. It was felt that many persons on limited budgeu bought the higher priced grade A milk in the belief that it was safer or better in quality than grade B. A Un day extension has been granted to a few distributors, it was aid, who were found to have a sur plus stock of bottle caps and paper containers which were printed for srade milk and cream.

Expert No Price Increase "The question ha.s been raised frequently as to whether or not the new requirements would not result In a higher price for milk to the users of the former grade the Health Department announced. "While the Department of Health has no control over the price charged for milk, it is definitely felt that the new requirements cannot be justifiably used as an excuse for increasing the price of milk to the consumer." For those who will want a richer milk than that being generally sold, the new regulations provide for the permissive sale of so called premium brands of milk which will have a higher butterfat content of at least 4.2 percent. The standard for approved milk ha.s been put at 3.3 percent butterfat, an increase 01 percent over me iormtr giaiie i requirement. Approved milk will have the same bacteria standard that grade A milk has had right along. Akron V.

Aug. 31 The outstanding rides and bone jarring whirligigs of the World's Fair midway may find a new home here next year in a model, stream lined amusement park along the ocean front. The United Taxpayers of Long Beach at a recent meeting, after discussing the proposals of a representative of the midway concessionaires for the establishment of the park, decided to ask the Mayor and City Council to appoint a six man civic committee. The committee would supervise boardwalk concessions and co operate with the council in maintaining a high quality in the type of exhibits, amusements and concessions.

The organization suggested that the committee should include representatives of the affected property owners, proposed park develOers, United Taxpavers, Board of Trade and similar groups. Requirements Outlined Cy Bond, representative of the concessionnaires outlined the follow ing requirements to the United Taxpayers for the establishment of the amusement park in 1941: leasing for a satisfactory period of years a large tract along the boardwalk, probability of the continued stable administration of Long Beach and the co operation of local civic and trade organizations to uphold a high standard in the park. The concessionaires plan to make the amusement area the finest one in the country, according to Mr. Bond, inasmuch as the World's Fair rides are largely owned by the manufacturers and they want to establish a model park for display to prospective park developers.
