Thus, we will control the weather to the extent that the state of the art allows us." for delivery last night to the National Conference on Weather Modification at Santa Barbara, Calif. He noted that the effects of changing the weather will be felt in wide areas, possibly internationally, imposing a heavy moral burden on the scientists and engineers who make the changes. Beyond that, he said, are human and social considerations.

"Farmers and picnickers may often be at odds on the desirable weather for Saturday; cities with snow removal problems and nearby ski resorts will also have conflicting desires. Political prob Despite growing capacity to keep track of the weather and Its changes through computers, Tribus said, "all this equipment is technological window dressing at best, and is Instrumentation for havoc at worst, without the conscious realization of the possible consequence and without a conscious moral commitment to make the environment more livable than before we started." Tribus said tests have shown that, because of changes In clouds as they go over mountains, they can be seeded with small particles around which snow flakes lems abound and will multiply as the frequency and scope of weather modification develops," ha said. Tribus, who Is assistant secretary for science and technology and former dean of engineering at Dartmouth College, thus appeared to take sides with the scientific group which contends that poses a great danger. "We have reached the point where the scientific fraternity and the public, in particular those portions of the public most affected, must talk together and decide what to do with this new ability we have created," he said. "Meteorology is too important to be left Associated WASHINGTON Limited weather control Is now possible but should not be pursued without careful consideration of the environmental changes It will bring, a key government scientist said yesterday.

In a paper to be published tomorrow In Science magazine, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Myron Tribus concluded that man can increase or decrease snowfall on mountalns-and possibly near the Great Lakes-and increase rainfall In some tropical regions without catastrophic results If proper controls are used. He summarized the paper form, and snowfall can be Increased or reduced. The same principle, he said, applies to snowfall at the southern edge of the Great Lakes because the land has much the same effect on clouds coming off the warmer water. In addition to these changes, he suggested five other areas that seem ready for a concentrated study and might be designated as national projects. They are hailstorms, cumulus clouds in temperate zones, storms near lakes and coastal areas, hurricanes and lightning.
