Postal officials said yesterday that
no decision had as yet been. reach
ed regarding the establishment of
a United States post Office at the
South Pole when the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition returns there next year.
They indicated, however, that they
did not look with favor on the
proposal, an important factor being
the lack of time to permit collec-
tors the opportunity to prepare and
forward covers. as the expedition
is slated to leave Boston early next
month.
Also, the department remembers
the protests of collectors because of
the mishandling of covers when
Admiral Richard E. Byrd went to
the South Pole six years ago. On
that trip l20960 covers were
serviced by the Byrd Cover Bureau
at a cost to collectors of $50 ,480 or so
cents per cover over the face value
of the special Scent Little America
postage stamp affixed. These covers
were supposed to have been can
celed with the date, January, 80,
1884, the day Admiral Byrd flew
across the South Pole. but the CAN
collation. machine operator, not a
stamp collector, stamped them jan
uary 81. Then the covers were de-
layed a whole year because of diff
culties in transportation at Little
America"
To further arouse the wrath of
collectors, the Post Office Depart
ment's philatelic agency removed
from sale the special Byrd stamp
on December l. 1884, at which time
only 5,735 ,944 stamps had been sold
out of a printing of 12896,950 copies
The number of stamps destroyed was
greater than the total sold, and when
the Byrd Cover Bureau then offered
both covers and mint stamps for
sale at premium prices, collectors
voiced their disapproval in no uncer-
tain terms.
Local collectors have registered
their opposition to another such pro-
cedure. At meeting Of the Wash
ington Air Mail Society last Mon
day, resolution was adopted con-
demning the establishment of post
Office or the issuance of a special
stamp for the projected expedition.

 Resent Action
CBy Associated Press)

Queen Wilhelmina of The Meth erlands CHolland) and King Leo pold of Belgium, announced today they would send joint messages to Germany, France and Great Brit ain offering their good offices for peace.
 AS the announcement was made, Berlin newspapers unanimously and in identical words criticized the meeting of the two neutral rulers as paper protests and lame reso- lutions" against England's block ade practices.
 Substance of Message
 The message Queen Wilhelmina and King Leopold sends to the na- tions now at war will say that the "belligerents declared some time ago they are not standing ob- stinately against examination of reasonable and a fixed basis of a reasonable peace.
 We consider, in the actual face of the circumstances, it is diff cult for the belligerents to seek contact with one another, and as sovereigns of two neutral states which have good relations with all of our neighbors, we are willing to offer our good offices.
 For Friendly Understanding
 "In case they are accepted, we are willing to use all means the belligerents will give us and we possess, to find in the spirit of a friendly understanding, factors to facilitate an agreement"
 The statement was announced shortly after King Leopold left Amsterdam for Brussels after a surprise conference last night and today.

Spread of Communism Is Urged by Speakers,
 Soviet Celebration GREAT ANNIVERSARY
 OBSERVED FOR } DAYS
Nations Paying Close A. fenfion fo Doings Tak-
 ina Place in Russia
(By Associated Pressl

Russias Revolutionary anniver- sary celebration is marked by par ading of troops, firing of guns and planes maneuvering in the air.
 The celebration took on added importance this year because of there being three major powers of Europe locked in war, a stalemat- ed conflict between Germany and the Allies, Great Britain and France.
 Russia is now given greater weight in swinging the balance of European Power, consequently other nations paid close attention to the words spoken at the start of the Russian three-day celebration by Soviet War Commissar Marshal Voroshiloff, who in reviewing his forces on the Red Square, said Russia must prepare, through the neutral Communist Internationale organized in Moscow, to spread Communism throughout the world,
 The Communist Internationale issued manifesto urging the workers of Great Britain and France to halt the war.
 On top of this is the keynote address by Premier and Foreign Minister Molotoff who predicted the overthrow of capitalism and in vited the masses in foreign coun- tries to work toward that end.
 The celebration in Russia nas halted the Finnish Russian nego- tiations on Soviet territorial de- mands.
 The Films today imposed mail, telephone and telegraph censorship while waiting for resumption of the Moscow talks.

 To Polls in

tBy Associated Press)

Voters from coast to coast went to the polls today in elections where economies and public nor ality were hotter issues than can didates.
 In California the vote centers about the Ham and Egg plan to pay $50 in state warrants every week to jobless citizens over 50 years of age. In New York. church organiza- tions are fighting bitterly to de- feat a proposal to legalize pari- mutual betting on horse races.
 President Roosevelt has gone to his Hyde Park home to cast his vote.
 New Jersey votes on a $21, ,000, ,00C bond issue for relief.
 Pennsylvania Republicans have made a hard fight on the theory that the 1889 elections are a pre- view of 1940. Republicans in Phila- delphia have attacked the Admin istration's spending policy. Phila- delphia will elect a mayor and council.
 In Virginia the election will test the relative strength of the Byrd and Price factions of the Demo- cratic party
 Mississippi will ratify Democrat 1 ic nominees for state offices and vote on two constitutional amend ments.
 Democrats in Kentucky expect to sweep the state.
 In California
 California wound up it's election campaign last night and marched to the polls en mass this morning as more than three and a half million citizens prepared to vote yes or no for the ham and egg pension.
 Today's vote on the ham and egg pension plan focused national att tention on what gave every indi- cation of being one of the closest California electoral battles in many years.
 Despite the feverish campaigning of last night, odds shifted so that this morning offers of five and six to one, that the old age pen sion scheme would be defeated were frequently heard. Odds this morning also saw May or Angelo Rossi installed as two to one favorite to retain his post | against a field of five candidates led by Congressman Frank Haven ner.
