RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil, May 19 -(U.P)-Meteorologists today predicted scattered clouds across the path of a total eclipse of the sun at 9 a.m. tomorrow, which will threaten months of preparation by scientists of 11 nations waiting to make observations during the four minutes of total darkness. Whether or not the clouds would blot out the phenomenon at the critical point of total eclipse was the question haunting the scientists as they waited at their observation points tonight. Pan-American Airways weather forecasters said clouds were indicated for the Bocayuva area on the 2,172-foot high Matto Grosso Plateau 400 airline miles Northwest of here, where 70 United States scientists are waiting with 75 tons of equipment. The U. S. expedition, largest of the 11 nations represented is sponsored by the U. S. Army Air forces, the National Geographic society and the Bureau of standards. It is headed by Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, chairman of the Geographic society's research committee. (Continued on Page Two; Col. 9)
