Byrd's Ship, Bear,
Awaits Wind 10 Sail
For Antafctica
Vessel at Boston,
Holds Jummed With
Food and Supplies
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Nov. 22.-The United
States Navy faced today its longest
cruise in a sailing ship since the
advent Of steam as the old barken-
tine Bear poised her trim, white
sails for a spanking wind to start
her on 12,00Q-mile voyage to the
Antarctic.
Sister craft to the departed North
Star in the Governments first Ant
arctic expedition in 100 years, the
Bear last sailed for the Navy In
1884, when called upon to claw
through Arctic ice packs to help
rescue survivors Of the luckless ex-
pedition Of 1t. A. w. Greely near
Cape Sabine.
In 1888 Rear Admiral Richard e.
Byrd bought her a modern Diesel
engine replaced her auxiliary steam
power, and new sails were provided.
Now her holds are jammed with
supplies for the two bases which
the expedition will set up on the
Antarctic Continent. Besides her
bluejacket crew OF IS she bears IS
members of the expeditions force
OF 81 men who will remain about
l3 months on the ice.
Bound for Panama, the Bear then
will turn southwark for the Bay
OF Whales in the Ross Sea, where
around New Year Day she intends
to rendezvous with the North Star.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
was In Washington today making
last-minute arrangements for the
Governments Antarctic Expedition,
while the old barkentine Bear
awaited favorable wind in Boston
Harbor to follow the North Star
South.
Admiral Byrd plans to leave to-
morrow, his wife said, and expects
to join one of the ships in Norfolk
or Panama.
The names of 48 officers and men
OF the Navy and four of the Marine
Corps who will accompany Admiral
Byrd as members of the ice party or
ships crew of the Bear of Oakland
were announced today by the Navy
Department.
The list includes only one

The guests, most of them doctors,

their wives, filled the hearing room
where inquests will be held into the

Capt. John L. Persons, represent

presented the key of the building to
DR.. Macdonald, adding, II hope
none of us here ever uses any of its

DR.. Macdonald, seated behind the
desk he will occupy when witnesses,
relatives, law enforcement agents
and the press fill the hearing room,
told the history of the new building.
I'VE conferred with architects all
during last winter to build build
ing that would take the horror away
from those who have to come to the
Morgue," he said.
I'VE wanted to create the impress
sion of an administrative building

He pointed to charts on the wall
behind him showing how deaths
handled by the coroner's ofice
have increased from 507 In 1868,
the earliest records, to 2,557 in the
past year.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, termed the build
ing a monument to Dr. Macdonald
and his deputy coroners and ex-
pressed wish that the Police De-
partment might have a building
equally in keeping with its needs.
He also suggested that the name
of the Morgue be changed to one
more appropriate to its new home.
"Morgue," he said, "is a gruesome
name 1t casts gloomy feeling"
Hugh Klegg, assistant director OF
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
spoke of the coroner's office as the
dynamo which generates electricity
to stimulate the work Of law-en-

Europe,s War DAY by Day
Recent Developments Indicate Seq Warfare

than is Germany. Her safety lies in
absolute control of the seas.
Hence British Premier Chamber
lain's grim announcement of what
amounts to- an unrestricted blockade
Of Germany by the allied fleet.
This extreme measure, which means
seizure of Na1 exports as we'll as
imports, is in retaliation for many
violations of international law and
the ruthless brutality of German
methods"
These latest sensational events
strengthen the likelihood that the
outcome of this war will be deter
mined by the struggle on the sea-
by strangulation which will crack
civilian morale somewhere.
Many observers and economic ex-
perts say that, barring some unex-
pected development, the allies will
win because of their admitted su-
perior resources. These prophets
have been joined by DR.. C. K. Leith,
chairman of the Minerals and
Metals Advisory Committee to the
United States Assistant Secretary of
War. DR.. Leith has summed the
matter up thus:
Unless there is a social or po-
litical break in the allied front which
will impair the blockade, the ulti-
mate defeat Of Germany by the in
exorable pressure of raw material
sanctions seems inevitable. It is a
question of sheer weight of metal"
Balkan Position Altered.
Germany's altered position in the
fruitful Balkans must make the
Nazis mighty sorry for themselves.
Prior to the outbreak of the war
Herr Hitler dominated these states
upon which the Reich depended so
much for foodstuffs and other sup
plies. This control was due to the
fact that Germany had a monopoly
on some so per cent of their trade,
for which they had no alternative
markets. Naturally, this economic
control gave him great political
power as well.
Now, however, both Italy and the
allies have jumped in and are taking
trade which the Balkans are only
too glad to give them in order to
get from under the German thumb.
Herr Hitler, being short of ready
cash and lacking manufactured
goods for barter trade, cannot COM
pete.

Time is long past when our career
diplomats could be rated as mere
cookie pushers." During the past
six or seven troublous international
years the foreign service profess
sionals in Europe, Asia and Latin
America have rendered uniformly
adequate accounts of themselves,
with minor exceptions which proved
the rule. Some of them, like poor
Ted Mariner in Syria, gave their
lives in the service. In Ethiopia,
China and Spain the cookie push
ers" came under the fire of war
and everywhere kept the Stars and

fectiveness. Secretary Hull, him.

ever was one, would be the first to
testify, this observer believes, that,
with the world in turmoil as it is to-

States in foreign parts could not
be in more capable hands than
those of the once reviled and ridi-
culed "white-spat boys" From the

anti-New Dealers alike agree that
the departments record is one of
the shining spots-perhaps the
brightest-in the Roosevelt admin
istration.
There's little secret about the why
and wherefore Of Dan Roper's con-
tinued high favor at the White
House. He is one Of the three men
-Cordell Hull and Homer Cum

with Jim Farley, were mainly re-
sponsible for Franklin D. Roose-

was to do advance gumshoe work
throughout the country, under Far

1t signifies a cynical return to the
discredited policy Of giving diplo-
matte plums to deserving" Demo-
Gratis or deserving" Republicans, in
violation of the merit system, in a
branch of the Federal service as i'm
portant as the Army or Navy. Such
appointments, moreover, discourage
and demoralize the career" idea,
which is inducing an increasing
number Of capable young Americans
to adopt diplomacy as a calling in
the hope that creditable service will
assure them a future worth striving
for, with the best that's in them.
Mr.. Roper plans to surrender the
Canadian post shortly after King
George and Queen Elizabeth have
been welcomed to Canada, as his
chief function is to serve as Uncle
Sans official greeter on that occa-
sion. The suave former Secretary Of
Commerce, as one Of our elder
statesmen, Is admirably qualified to
perform that ceremonial Office. But,
should his first taste of diplomatic
blood and of the social fleshpots that
go with it tempt Uncle Dan" to
prolong his sojourn at Ottawa, his
appointment will be open to criti-
cism, unless the country is content
to see the Foreign Service revert to
its old status as happy hunting
ground for patronage spoilsmen or
patriots with useful checkbooks in
presidential years. The Roosevelt
administration has followed worthily
in the footsteps Of its Republican
predecessor in retaining at, or ap-
pointing to, important foreign capi-
tails career diplomats who attained
ambassadorial or ministerial rank
after years of good work in various
parts of the world.
Fat embassy plums, like the am
bassadorships to Great Britain,
France and one or two other coun-
tries, have always gone, by appar-
emily unbreakable tradition, to what
the State Department calls "politi-
cal appointees." President Roose-
velt has adhered to that practice
in a good many cases-Joe Kennedy
at London, Bill Bullitt at Paris, Joe
Davies at Brussels, Josephus Dan
iels at Mexico City, Claude Bowers
in Spain, Laurence Steinhardt ut
Moscow, Daisy Hartman at Oslo,
Tony Biddle at Warsaw. Alvin OWs-
