BIRDS ADD MENACE
TO WILKINS FLYERS
Australian Explorer, Return.
ing to New York, Tells of
Feathered Danger.

TALCAHUANO, Chile, February IS
Sir Hubert wilkins, who reached here
yesterday on his return fro his Ant
arctic air exploration from O base at
Deception Island, said that he had en-
countered wholly unexpected menace
aside from the anticipated cold and
rough terrain, in the lower southern
ATTITUDES.
THE plane on numerous occasions. y
he said, was hampered by immense
blocks OF birds which few into the
path OF the machine in such numbers
that hundreds were killed by the pro-
peller. Luckily. however, the plane was
not damaged" 49,.
The Australian explorer, who has
added to the laurels Of his northern
by mapping hitherto almost unknown
islands In the Antarctic, said he was re-
turning to New York to arrange for
another exploration trip with the same
companions who shared his dangers
on that just concluded.
wilkins described the results of his
flights over the frozen South, the first
ever made In that section of the globe
II succeeded in establishing the exist
ence Of more than 1000 miles of coast
line in the region situated to the west
OF Weddel Sea-" he related. Il named
1t Bowman Coast In honor Of the dis
tinguished>. director Of the American
Geographic Society Of New York (Isaiah
Bowman).
Struggling against a thousand nat
ural obstacles, I could hardly arrange
with my companion a single place to
land during one Of the aerial trips
of more than 5000 miles, when ]
might have made interesting discoveries
which would perhaps have an enormous
influence in connection with the geog-
raphy of these places.
For example, Graham Land, which
figures on all maps as part of the
Antarctic Continent Is only a series
of islands separated by canals and by
q strait, which I named 'Stefansson
Strait In honor of Stefansson, one Of
the first explorers in enterprises of this
character"
Sir. Hubert praised the work Of his
chief assistants, Lieut.. Carl Ben Eiel-
son and Joseph Crossar, pilots. and
Orville Porter, mechanic.

For England warmer weather was pre-

city was without electricity.
All schools at Berlin have been closed

veloped. These have given rise to con-
siderable price-raising and speculation

TWO IMMIGRATION
MEASURESPASSED
One Adopted by House Gov
erns Entry of Aliens Into
u. S. to Work.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two immigration measures. one to
make more stringent the regulations
governing the admission OF aliens to the
United States to work, were passed yes
terday by the House and sent to the
Senate.
TIE whole day was given over to the
consideration of immigration legislation,
and when the House adjourned 1t was
deep in the consideration of bill to
provide for the deportation of undesir-
able aliens, to which it already had
attached an amendment directed at
alien gunner. The measure will be
taken up again today.
The second bill passed was one which
would grant a preference within the
quota to immigrants skilled in certain
arts, sciences and crafts to such O de-
gree that persons, without employment,
could not be found in the United
States to fill their places.
The first measure, the box bill to
prohibit the admission as visitors C
persons coming into the United States
to seek or to take jobs, is designed to
remedy situation which grew cut Of
a Circuit Court decision affecting the
crossing of the Canadian border by
aliens who work In the United States.
The measure would not affect in any
way the entry Of aliens classified in the
1924 act as immigrants, nor would IL ex-
clude those coming temporarily into the
country for business.
Although the deportation measure,
which still awaits final action, encoun-
tered little opposition, there were many
suggested changes.
The resolution Of Senator Nye, Re
publican. North Dakota, to postpone for
one year the effective date Of the ma
tional origins clause of the immigration
act, which was disapproved by the
Senate immigration committee, was re-
introduced today and read to the
Senate.
Senator Reed. Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, attempted to send the resolution
again to committee, but upon request Of
Senator Nye 1t was ordered to lie on the
table. Under this procedure 1t may be
called up for discussion by its author
whenever he can muster a majority
vote of the Senate to do so.
