termine how many may be eligible to

U. s. Has Never Sought Polar Lands But May Change Policy - Several Nations Seek Title to Area Down Under"

Washington. June 25 P- Whether the United States will put aside a century Of precedent and lay claim to part of the vast ant arctic region was learned today to be under consideration at the state department.
 Although the department is con- templating the claim of Rear Ad- mlral Richard E. Byrd to part Of the snow-hid southern most end of the world, over which he flew in his dash to the pole. 1t was said 8. de- cision probably would not be reach cd for some time.
 Much of the 150,o0O square miles over which Byrd flew-comprising an area roughly the size of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and West Virginia already is claimed by Great Britain as lying within the huge, pie-seg- ment of the Ross dependency. I'm medlately to the east, however, bor- dering along the 150th meridian west. lies Marie Byrd land, explored by Byrd and hitherto unclaimed. State department maps showed the area to border partly on the coast, thereby offering a point of ingress outside the British claim.
 Never in the past. however. has the United States declared soverign- ty over any part of Antarctica. itself a land bigger than all Australia and Grlrara
 Explored By Connecticut Man
 Tn 1921. Captain Nathaniel E. Palmer, on q sealing voyage from stonington, Connecticut, became one Of the original explorers of the an- arctic through finding a point Of land.
 Less than I score of years later Lieutenant Wilkes of the United States navy was dispatched there by the government with two sloops of war and four smaller vessels on q scientific and commercial explor1- ton. He skirted the antarctic shore for q long distance, q territory now bearing hIs name, although he dii not land and take possession Of it for the United States
 Discussing this land in 1924, Charles Evans Hughes said
 Tt is the opinion Of the depart ment Of state that discovery Of lands unknown to civilization. even when coupled with a formal taking of pos session, does not support vall1 claim of sovereignty unless the dis covery is followed by an actual set- tlenent Of the discovered country"
 Many Nations Have Claims
 Discoveries and, in some cases, claims have been made in the ter ritory by Russia, Norway, France, and Germany in addition to Great Britain. despite the fact that land today is inha oited only by pensuins and seals.
 The state department has received no notes from other governments relative to claims Of land in the antarctic since 1928, when the Brit ish ambassador offered aid 10 Byrd while he was in either the Falkland or Ross dependencies. The note was not acknowledged until a year later, and no comment was made upon the claims of land mentioned, which in cluded more than half a dozen sec tors.
