HOUSTON ACT
Creager Files New
Plea And Motion
Is Seconded

HOUSTON, Nov. 30-lF)- The
first phase OF the 81 100000 libel
suit filed against p. y. Collier and
Son company by r. B- Creager,
Republican National committeeman
for Texas. was won today by the
company. Federal Judge J. G. Hut
cheson sustained q defense motion
To quash a writ OF citation asser-
tedly served on the Texas agent
OF the company.
The motion to quash embodied
two points. both OF which were
sustained. They were: "(A) the writ
was served out OF the territorial
limits OF the southern district or
Texas" and "CB) upon one not an
agent Of the defendant, and the
motion prayed that the citation be
vacated and held for naught."
Judge HutchesOn's decision read,
defendant offered the writ. show
ing issuance to and service in the
northern district OF Texas and af-
fidavits denying the agency Of
Smalley." Smalley Is the man whom
the plaintiff contends Is Golfers
agent In Texas.
Two Companies Involved
There are two Golfers companies.
One Is the p. r. Golfers Publish
ing company and the other the r.
f. Golfers distributing company.
The defendants hold that the dis
tributing company Is the only Tex
as concern and that the publishing
company itself does no business In
this state. The judge sustained
their contention that 5malley nc
Dallas, upon whom the citation was
served, Is not the agent OF the
publishing concern.
AS the citation was Quashed on
the grounds that was served in the
northern district. counsel for Greag-
CT has now had a second citation
served. this time In the southern
district. The defense has entered
motions to quash this citation also.
Scene Shifts
This preliminary legal skirmish
Is expected to be heard here Tues
day or Wednesday. The federal
district court will open Monday.
1t has not been definitely decid-
ed as to who will be on the bench
during the Creager trial. Judge
Hutcheson, an old claSsmate OF
Creager's at the University or Tex
as, has indicated that he does not
wish 70 be on the bench.

COMMANDER Richard E. Byrd,
safely back at his base, Little
America. from q flight TO the
South Pole, today holds the unique
distinction Of being the only man
to fly over both poles Of the earth.
BY bending to the use Of his
courage and skill the tools supplied
by modern mechanical and scientific
progress, he achieved within three
and one-half years what no other
Polar explorer has accomplished In
a life time, visits to the top and
bottom OF the globe. In flying to
the South Pole he did in less than
q day what It had previously taken
more than three months to accom-
.plish.
Flew 1900 Miles
The Antarctic flight was beset
with difficulties far greater than
those encountered In Byrd's trip 70
the North Pole made May 8. 1926.
The distance of each flight was
about the same, 1900 miles.
On the flight to the North Pole
and back. made in IS hours, 80
minutes, there was no stop.
Commander Byrd navigated his
plane to and from the South Pole
over a Jagged mountain chain with
sentinel-like peaks that rise any
where from 10000 TO $4,000 feet.
The Antarctic Is mostly barren Of
plant life and without human in
habitants and even animals, due to
its severe climate, even in summer.
which Is at hand there now. There
are no inhabitants. In the Arctic
there are Eskimos and summer vege-
tation.
Flew Over North Pole
Byrd flew from Spitzbergen to the
North Pole over floating ice fields
rising only few feet above sea
level, with here and there open
leads Of water. From the edge OF
the southern ice barrier ne flew 400
miles over an accumulation OF ice
1islng $50 feet or more above the
4 - and solid as land and then
soared over mountains to the Polar
plateau and back again.
Byrd's flight TO the South Pole
4 a striking demonstration OF the
conquest OF modern methods OF
travel and communication OF dis
tance and other physical obstacles
encountered in Polar exploration
when compared with similar feats
accomplished by older methods.
Commander Byrd flew from his
base on the Bay Of Whales TO the
Pole and back in less than a day.
~ In Party
Captain Roald Amundsen, first
explorer to reach the South Pole,
using dog sledges and starting from
a base near Little America, re-
uuired 81 days 10 reach the Pole.
The trip there and back, total Of
1855 miles, was made in 148 days.
He left his base October 20, 1911,
reached the Pole December IA, av-
craging about Is miles a day.
