BYRD FINDS WATER
UNDER ICE BARRIER
Location Of Land Thus Indi-
Gated Would Explain Bay
of Whales Existence.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

wireless to Star and New York Times.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, April
27.-Comdr. Byrd went to the bottom
of the crevass north Of camp yesterday
and found sea water about IS feet down,
or rather Slush ice in a crack, which
was salt. ~
We have long believed that there was
water under the barrier on which our
base Is located and also that there must
be land somewhere near here to hold it
for 50 many years in It's peculiar forms-
ton. The location Of that land is the
secret which would explain the existence
Of the Bay Of Whales.
II we did not believe in the land,
we might be somewhat uneasy as to the
permanence of our Winter quarters.
The crack has interested US for some
time, because it has become wider In
the last few weeks. Whether this is
due to contraction In cold weather or
TO barrier movement, or to tendency
on the part Of section Of the barrier
to carve of, no one knows.
Contraction Theory Finds support.
The majority opinion tends to the con-
traction theory, and the commanders
inspection OF it seems to support
that opinion more strongly than any
other. But so little is known about the
movement Of the barrier here, the loca-
ton of land, the strains to which our
portion of the barrier is subjected and
the action Of currents and tide on the
great ice mass, that any opinion Is
hardly more than an intelligent guess
at present.
II possible, the commander intends
to know something more definite about
1t by Spring by making soundings.
1t was about noon when he and a
small group Of men went up to the
crevass, which lies on the side of a
barrier slope few hundred yards
northeast of the camp, near what
might have been the edge Of the old
inlet from the bay in the barrier before
the part on which we are located filled
in many years ago.

DEBENTURE HOPES
RAISED IN SENATE
Advocates Expect New Votes
by Move to Cut Rates
in 0verproduction.
By the Associated Press.

Advocates Of the export debenture
plan of farm relief had high hopes to-
day for increasing their strength in the
Senate before the issue comes to vote
next week.
They planned to center their efforts
during the week end recess of Congress
on the amendment offered late yester-
day by Senator Norris, Republican, Me-
braska, which would add to the de-
benture clause in the Senate farm bill
provision for decreasing the deben-
ture rates whenever oyerproduction de-
veloped in crop on which they would
be applied.
That proposal was described as an
effort to answer the criticism that the
debenture plan. vigorously opposed or
10 counts by President Hoover, would
have tendency to bring about over
production Of crops affected. It was
frankly hailed as a means of drawing
support to the provision, and Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, was counted
as one of the recruits it probably had
gained for the debenture supporters.
Over Production Decreased.
Senator Norris argued that there
isn't anything in the bill without the
plan that will restrain overproduction, "
but held 1t was quite evident" that
without some such restraint as he pro-
posed 1t would operate to increase pro-
duction.
Administration supporters In the deb
| enture controversy are making no effort
| to block vote on the question, and
observers expect to see the contest de-
cided Tuesday. While Republican lead
ers expect the vote to be close, they
are confident that the debenture pro-
vision will be eliminated from the bill
and that It's passage will follow quickly
The debenture proponents, meanwhile
are preparing to continue their efforts

AIRPORT MEASURE
STUDIED BY BOARD
Selection of Sites May Be
Left to Commission Aft
er Funds Are Ready

The joint airport commission is con-
sidering the advisability of recommend.
ing general legislation authorizing ade-
quate air termina, facilities for Wash
ington, but leaving the location to be
selected either by some existing COM
mission or by new commission after
the funds have been appropriated, il
was indicated at the Capitol today.
While the commission has not COM
pleted its study of the subject, Chair
man Bingham suggested that some
thought is being given to plan of not
specifying a definite site in the legis-
lation. One suggestion that has beer
advanced is that the enabling act might
provide for a commission to be ap.
pointed by the President to determine
the site.
Two Fields Proposed.
If this course should be followed the
commission to select the site probably
would be left to settle also the question
of whether all flying activities should
be centralized at one airport, or whether
there should be two.
One of the proposals put forward by
expert witnesses at the hearing was
that there be a centrally located land
ing field for letting off passengers and
mail and another field for storage of
planes in hangers, repair shops, student
flying and similar activities.
Several Sites Considered.
The District Commissioners and some
of the Federal officials recommended
Gravelly Point, on the Potomac, as the
airport site, and the commission also
has before 1t large number of other
suggested sites in nearby Maryland and
Virginia.
the commission will decide upon its
recommendations or whether a report
will be made at this session.
