And the national government has banned construction of hotels until the housing shortage is met. Temperance groups in Victoria sre concerned over the effect the games may have on the state's liquor regualtions, which now limit public-house operations to the afternoon hours between 2 and 6 pm. Prohibition groups attacked the Olympics bitterly when it was hinted that these hours might be lengthened during the games. But plans have gone ahead for the $8,100,000 project to provide a suitable Olympic site. The Aus- tralian Olympic Federation formed an organizing company at its spring meeting to supervise neces- sary construction and administer the games.

Major Problem Here Jet Streams May Be Clue |In Forecasts Toronto (CP) -- A study of the | two jet streams that swirl around | may hold the key to suctessful long-range weather forecasting. That's what Dr. D. P. Mcln- tyre, Toronto meteorologist, says in an article in the current issue of Physics in Canada. He writes that jet streams have long waves and short waves. "The basis for lenger range forecasting lies in the forecasting of the position of the long waves, While we co not know where the short waves which roll along the polar front will be at any time within the next day or two, we know the general path they must follow and, therefore, the general pattern of the weather." THE Air Defenc At $1 Billion New York (CP) -- The New York Times says today the de- tails of an elaborate new network of military airfields for Western Europe's defence have been dis- closed in London.
