Editor:
In answer to Senator Lundeen:
/ don't quite understand Senator
Lundeen, does he mean that he will
carry on a fight for minority
groups regardless of the circum-
stances? If he does / don't agree
with him.
Does the Senator know that by
his cloture vote he helped the

a right and wrong regardless of
minority or majority.

airplane flights over the area named
crocker leland.
There simply isn't any Crocker
Land" was the verdict of the Brad

acted as navigator and pilot on the
expedition.
Peary couldn't have seen Crocker
Land, he said. because there is no
Crocker Land. I few over there to
clean it up and think I did"
Capt. Clifford j. MacGregor who
headed the expedition said Northland
mirages were very frequent.
He told of seeing a glacier that
looked exactly like an island and said
"Peary may have made the same
error. We all suffered these optical
illusions and he doubtless experienced
the same thing"
Capt. MacGregor said one of the
expeditions main accomplishments
was the determination that the Aurora
Borealis had definite effect on radio
reception.
He said also that weather over a
