ANTARCTIC PER|LS
PREVENT ANY LIFE
Some of Difficulties Byrd Con-
quered Are Outlined by
Geographic Society.

Some of the difficulties encountered
by Comdr. Richard E. Byrd and his
companions in their flight to the South
Pole and back to their base are dis
cussed in bulletin issued yesterday by
the National Geographic Society.
The bulletin describes the terrain
traversed in the epoch-making fight
and contrasts polar weather conditions
in the North and in the South. The
Antarctic is the one extensive region in
the world, the bulletin says, where man
has been unable to support himself-a
barren waste void of food
Much of the information in regard
to North Polar conditions assembled
through several centuries of exploration
is useless in attacking the problems of
life, travel and observation in the Ant
arctic" says the bulletin. LAS soon as
the explorer penetrateS a few miles in
land from the edge of the ice, he finds
that the great southern continent is a
seemingly endless waste. Summer in
the North means the opening of water
leads, grass exposure of soil, the growth
of grass and flowers, the renewed activity
of animal life. Summer brings none of
these changes in the South It brings
only relatively slight rise in tempera-
ture-a mere Slackening of Winter. But
it is still bitter cold, snow and ice still
mask all of the earth except the peaks
OF the mountain ranges.
Conditions Are Reversed.
"The contrast between the polar
weather conditions in the North and in
the South results largely from the re-
verSal in land and water conditions
The North Polar region consists of a
sea surrounded by land masses-con-
tinents and large and small islands.
The South Polar region comprises a
great mass of land surrounded by seas
This southern land mass, with its &C
cumulated ice and snow of centuries, is
great reservoir of cold. Although the
exact area of the Antarctic continent is
not known, it is estimated to be in ex-
cess of 100000 square mileS-more
than one and a quarter times the size
of Europe.
The covering of ice makes it diff
cult to learn anything about the geologi-
cal makeup of the southern continent
except in few favored places. 1t is
not even known how thick the ice
sheet is. In general. the topography
of the land between Comdr. Byrd's
base and the Pole has been known
since the expeditions of Amundsen and
Scott. In reaching the Pole it was
necessary for the plane to rise over
tall mountains, and then to traverse
lofty pleateau, which, at the Pole, is
about 5000 feet above sea level.
An outstanding and depressing fact
in regard to the Antarctic is the COM
plete absence of all forms of life in
the interior. 1t is the one extensive
region in the world where man has
been unable to support himself. There
are no animals that he can kill for
food. No carniverouS animals exist
because there is no prey for them. No
herbiverous animals exist because moth

ing grows on which they might feed
The sea surrounding Antarctica SWarms
with life, and there large numbers of
girds congregate. But they venture only
few miles inland.
Maps to Be Valuable.
Data gathered by the Byrd expedi-
ton doubtless will fill in many blank
spots in regard to the southern con-
tinent. This will be most evident, per-
hapS, geographically. From the mosaic
maps made photographically from the
plane during the dash to the Pole it
will be possible to prepare maps in con-
siderable detail, definitely tying the
previously known areas of the Southern
Hemisphere to the South Pole.
To aeronauticS, the expedition al
ready has added much needed data
IN regard to the operation of airplanes
and the behavior of metals and lubri-
cants under conditions of extreme nat
ural cold. Additional data in this con-
nectlon were obtained on the final
dash to and from the Pole.
Careful meteorological observations
nave been carried on by the expedition
during its long stay at Little America,
us sled and supplemental flights and
on the Polar flight itself. Antarctica
has been looked upon as weather
breeder for South America, South
Africa, New Zealand and Australia and
IN sense for the entire Southern
Hemisphere.
The detailed meteorological data to
be brought back by the expedition may
make possible more accurate weather
torecaSting for the whole world.
Makes Radio History.
I'm the radio field Comdr. Byrd has
made history. He is the only man to
have sent radio messages from both the
North and the South Poles. Through
out the stay of the party at Little
America radio conditions have been
closely studied and it is probable that
the data collected may lead to the
solution of stubborn scientific prob
lens.
The problem of navigation during
the flight to and from the Pole was
probably the most important and diff
ficult one that faced Comdr. Byrd.
Finding the exact location of a NOV
ing plane is not simple even in the

Mckinley Follows
Pioneer Ancestors
BY Antarctic Feat

The glad tidings that Comdr.
Byrd had flown over the South
Pole brought particular Joy to
Mrs. Ashley Mckinley of 1882
Columbia road, for Capt. Ashley
c. Mckinley, the aerial photog-
rapher with the famous naval air
man is her grandson.
Capt. McKinley'S ancestors were
associated with the early history
of the National Capital, she said
last night. His great great-grand-
father, Justice John Mckinley,
was appointed to thee Supreme
Court by President Van Buren,,
and his maternal great great
grandmother was Mrs. John j.
Crittenden.
He is a namesake of Gen. Will
liam Ashley, who was the first
white man to discover Salt Lake,
Utah.
Accordingly, his family ex-
plains, the pioneer aerial camera
man of the Antarctic is following
the exploring proclivities of his
ancestors.

licked the Salt sand on the beach and
taken some of the sand into their
stomachs, causing death.
Mr.. Baldwin is glad that Comdr.
Byrd has succeeded, where his friend
Shackleton failed.
Il am always glad to know of the
success Of any of our American ex-
plorers, he said. Il hope to convince
the public and. If may add, our Gov
eminent, that there are other ex-
plorers. not including myself. who are
entitled to consideration in the wav Of
financial support. in a work which to
my mind should not be confined to the
purse strings of few individuals who
happen to be more fortunate, financially
speaking, than the most of u.s."

lively easy, although Byrd had to navi-
gate all the way. They went somewhat
to the east and when they came back
did not see the dog trail at all. They
first hit it at the crevaSses about 100
miles out, making a perfect landfall
there and then following the compass
course, for the trail was completely in
visible at this time, they came straight
on to camp. The commander flew part
of the way and Mac also took the con-
trolls on the latter part of the flight.
They did not see a Landmark until a few
miles from camp and then sighted the
radio towers dead ahead.
And didn't those radio towers look
good" they said.
The flight was over and none too
soon. for the sky began to cloud up a
short time after landing and in a few
hours there was high wind blowing so
much drift snow that the house win
dows were buried this morning.

PARTY COLORS
FLYATCAPITOL
Senator Robinson Gives No.
tice of Fight Against Up
ward Tariff Revision

WASHINGTON, April 13.-(P)-
Party colors were raised at the
capitol today as leaders marshaled
forces for the extra session of con-
gress called by President Hoover
to convene Monday to redeem the
republican campaign pledge for
farm relief.
Bolstered by majorities in both
the senate and house from the
November elections, republican
leaders are prepared to adhere to
the Hoover limitation on the legiS-
lative program.
Tariff revision, a farm marketing
bill, reappointment of the house,
and a census measure were on the
slate written tonight by Senator
Watson, Of Indiana, new republi-
can leader.
The program as framed appar-
emily bears the endorsement Of the
chief executive but the new presi-
dent, just settling himself in the
Whit House, has signaled q hands,
off policy towards congress. He Is
ready to cooperate but not to die
tate.
There has been little to indicate
other than a tranquil session. But
on the verge Of the session threat
of trouble has been injected from
democratic quarters.
Senator Joe T. Robinson of Ar
kansas, democratic leader, gave no
tice of a fight against the admin
istration's plan for upward revision
of the tariff and also its proposal
to limit the legislative scope Of the
session.
Senator Watson issued a state
ment in reply. He declared it was
both hoped and desired that but
few bills will be given considera-
tion in the senate aside from those
having reference to farm relief and
tariff revision"
''It may be considered desirable" :"
he said, "to pass a reapportion-
ment bill, also one providing for
the taking of the census of 1880,
but, following the wish of the
president, 1t will be the general
policy Of the majority party in the
senate to refrain from pressing
other measures for consideration"
