VIRGINIA Will
SHOUT TRIBUTE
TO BYRD TODAY
Hoover Leads Washington
Thousands in HonorS
to Explorers.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd prepared
today for his third civic reception in
as many days-thiS time in the
capital Of Virginia, Richmond, where
his family was famous long before
his birth.
President Hoover led distinguished
thousands Friday night in honoring
the admiral and his men. Mr.
Hoover congratulated Byrd on the
success of his polar expedition and
handed him the gold medal OF the
National Geographic Society in
recognition of his achievements. The
members of the expedition departed
for New York Friday night, after
they all had enjoyed the interesting
experience of seeing themselves
enact many of the historic scenes
on the ice pack where they hoisted
the American flag and created Little
America as base of polar explor-
alton.
Thrilling Accident Shown
1t was the expeditions first OPP
portunity to see the moving picture
film of their exploits.
From the day in August 1928
when they sailed from New York
harbor southwark, until the faith
full Captain Melville and his ship
touched ice again in the Bay Of
Whales to take them home after
fourteen months of isolation, the
story was unfolded.
The camera caught that almost
fatal accident when the icelip caved
and sent a man sprawling into the
sea between the bobbing ice cakes.
The shouts of whales, three or four
at time, poked into the cameras
range. There we're baby seals and
pupa and penguins in the picture.
Tells of Expeditions work
From start to finish, the film
records the story of the flight to the
south pole and the moment when
Byrd dropped there small Amer
lean flag weighted with stone
from the grave of his friend, Floyd
Bennett.
Byrd spoke of the expeditions
work after President Hoover had
introduced him to a large audience.
His complete report will come later
in four fat volumes. He touched
only the high spots Friday night,
and one low when he said his party
had found a new depth in the
ocean between New Zealand and
the Ross Seas, 900 feet.
