the "LoS Angeles had been flown
about 1900 miles in the United
States. 1t was shipped to Alaska
and pounded around the ice fields
that had been leveled for its use.
Great Durability
The story of the airplane'S dura-
bility under these conditions may
be told briefly. Captain wilkins
flew this plane from Point Barrow
almost to Spitzbergen, across the
top Of the world. and was forced
down by a blizzard when nearly in
sight of the radio towers of his
destination. The storm lasted five
days, and when it was over, the
snow was cleared away from the
plane, the engine warmed up, and
the trip completed-the plane hav-
ing flown about 5000 miles under
the worst imaginary conditions.
Later the same plane flew an ad-
ditional 10000 miles in the United
States.
Two months ago. returning to its
Antarctic ice fields from a short
trip. the plane was TAXED into some
soft ice and buried its nose in the
water. The propeller was bent out
Of shape, a wing was punctured,
and the motor remained under wa
ter two hours before the plane was
righted. Yet three days later it
was flying as well as if it had just
been wheeled out Of the factory.
In January Captain wilkins
stored his two planes and Access
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-14

series in some iron sheds on De-
ception island, and prepared to de-
part for the United States. The
shortening season and unusual con-
ditions fastened this schedule.
Before wilkins left the Antarctic
regions, he had made n import
ant nine-hour flight, and covered
1000 miles of territory. His most
important discovery was the Ora
ham Land, formerly thought to be
a solid stretch of ground, really
consists of a number of large
islands.
Extreme Hardships
Only those who live near the
poles can appreciate the hardships
that the men and equipment of
these expeditions undergo.
Few level stretches of smooth ice
can be found. If a flyer puts pom
toons on a plane and takes off from
the water, he cannot be Sure that
when he returns the water will not
be covered with jagged blocks OF
ice.
Compasses go 'haywire' because
of navigating SO close to the mag
netic pole.
Despite these Inconvenience"
to phrase it mildly, wilkins has
ventured as far as 600 miles off
his base, and soon Commander
Byrd will do likewise.
Few greater heroes than these
can be found.

He and his brave creW-EielSOn,
CrosSan and Portcr-have accom-
plished what no one yet has sue
ceeded in doing.
In a single nine-hour flight Cap

the worlds conception Of Antarctic
geography. He also demonstrated
conclusively that the airplane is a
most important means of scientific
research in the polar regions.
Distinct Feat
Captain Wilkins and Eielson are
the only two men in history yet to
have reached the ends Of the
earth" Commander Byrd will have
been the third.
Captain wilkins showed before
he went south that the airplane is
a revolutionizing factor in polar
travel. Despite poor fields, ex-
ceedingly strong winds and adverse
conditions generally, American air
planes to date have a perfect rec
ord in the Arctic and Antarctic.
In his north pole flight Captain
Wilkins used a single monoplane,
called the Los Angeles" Less

Income Tax Filling
u. S. Golfers Above
Treasury Estimate

WASHINGTON, March 14.-(P-
Income taxes pouring into the
treasury vaults from all sections of
the country are exceeding esti-
mates made by treasury officials.
Secretary Mellon said today he
felt there not only would be no
deficit Cor the fiscal year 1929, but
there would be a comfortable sur
plus.
First payments of the income tax
on March Is of last year totaled
~S15,137,752 and officials have ex-
pected that this amount would be
exceeded this year. The corporation
taxes this year are one and one-half
per cent lower than they were in
1927 when that tax was Is IL per
cent. 1t Is expected, however. that
the lower rate would bring in a
greater return. Total income taxes
collected in the calendar year of
1928 were So, 1859 AIT, 231.
Secretary Mellon said that the in
creaS over what had been expected
on Wednesday amounted to $4,000
600 more than had been estimated.
