Byrd Penguin Response
Delays Expedition a Day
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 7.-Now that the
tumult and the shouting over PEN
gums at $3.50 a throw has died to
whisper, Admiral Richard E. Byrd
can go ahead with arrangements
for his forthcoming Antarctic ex-
petition.
The admiral estimated last night
that the expeditions departure had
been delayed about a day because
OF the heavy response to his an
nouncement that he wished to place
his 20 penguins in good homes"
before he left.
He forgot to mention the $3.50
price tag in his first announcement
and so many telephone calls, tele-
grams and personal visitors poured
in on Admiral Byrd and his staff
yesterday that little could be done
all day but turn the applicants
away.
The popularity OF the fightless
birds from the icy wastes of the
south probably never would have
been guessed but for this incident.
Applications poured in from all over
New England, from North and
South Carolina, from the Winfield
(Kanso fire department, from
Texas, from Pennsylvania. Only
two applicants indicated a desire to
