ADMIRAL BYRD IN
SEAFORD SEPT. 22nd

The "Why" of Antarctic explora
ton will be thrillingly answered in
Seaford Monday afternoon, Sept.
22nd at the Layton Theatre when
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, great
est living polar explorer comes to
Western Sussex to tell the amazing
and far reaching discoveries of the
newly returned Byrd Antarctic expe-
dition. The lectures will be under the
auspices of the Seaford Lions Club.
"Endlessly the question is asked
about Polar exploration; "What is the
use of it?" Admiral Byrd recently
commented and continued "In a GER
tain sense science supplies the an
swer. Geographical discovery, the
brightest weapon in an explorers ar
mory, is only an elementary tool for
getting at something deeper. Explor-
alton reaches dignity only when pen
etrating past the superficial concerns
of latitude and longitude. It brings
the modern apparatus of science to
bear upon the unknown for a truer
understanding of the known and half
known. In the 22-point program of
this expedition, geographical discov-
cry was only single point.
Among the subjects studied by this
expedition during it's field operations
are astronomy, meterology, physical
occanology, biology, oceangraphy,
vertebrate and invertabrate zoology,
mammalogy, physiology, glaciology,
stratigraphy, palEontalogy tectonic
and economic geography, cartogra-
ply, physical and terrestrial magne-
tism, bacteriology and botany.
The expedition has had the distinc-
tion to carry cosmic ray research in
to the highest southern latitudes thus
far attained in the adventuresome
pursuit of the most fascinating of
newly discovered phenomena; to in
itiating the first meteor observation
program in Antartic, with spectacu-
lar results; of introducing up-to-date
technique in Polar meteorology, and
of gathering the first authentic data
as to the thickness of the Polar ice
cap, thanks to the seismic sounding
apparatus, the preliminary hints of
which may radically change our con-
ception of Antarctic.
Admiral Byrd will tell the great
story Of the recent expedition at the
Layton Theatre at two performances,
a matinee in the afternoon and eve
ming lecture. He will illustrate his
talk with new pictures of the forbid
den regions of the South Pole. The
Admiral has been a popular hero since
his historic flight across the North
Pole with Floyd Bennett in 1926. But
aside from the generally popular ac-
claim which has greeted his spectacu-
lar exploit and quite apart from it,
is devotion of small band of men
who have worked with him on all his
undertakings for the past nine years.
They are less than dozen in number,
aviators, scientists, technical experts,
but they have formed the nucleus of
each of his expeditions in the past
and it's safe to estimate that if Byrd
were to announce a new expedition
tomorrow they would each and every
one drop his present occupation and
troupe off to the ends of the earth
again with their leader.

Aid-to-Russia Policy
Stands, White House
Replies 10 Critics
Charges Help Is Logging
Answered by Statement
Intent Is Still the Some

Reports that American aid to
Russia has been tagging seriously
because of British prior demands
were countered today by an un-
qualified White House assertion
that policy of this government for
all-out assistance to the Soviets has
not been modified in any degree.
The President has said that sup-
plies would move to Russia" White
House Secretary Stephen T. Early
told press conference. The Mari
time Commission has made special
arrangements TO move them. The
President is determined to continue
fullest possible assistance.
Il know there is no change in
policy and that supplies will be
provided with the utmost speed
possible"
Mr.. Early said he made a check
on published reports of interruption
in aid to Russia and that his findings
were as reported above. He added,
however. that ne did not have de-
tailed information on the possibility
that priorities given for manufac-
ture of British equipment had in
terfered with production of material
for the Russian armies.
For the last several months it has
been known that considerable guam
titles of American materials have
been shipped through the South At
lantic with some going into the Red
Sea for British use in Libya and
other portions going into the Persian
Gulf, presumably for transshipment
northWard TO Russia. Other Amer
ican supplies are believed to have
been shipped into the Russian North
Pacific port of Vladivostok.

Admiral Refuses to
Identify Merchantmen
Involved in Incident

The Navy disclosed today in an
official report TO the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee. that number
of merchant ships were damaged
and some were sunk on the night of
October 1917 during the North At

marines in which the destroyer
Kearney was torpedoed.

questions propounded by Chairman
Walsh. Admiral Harold R. Stark.
Chief of Naval Operations. said that
while the number and natlonalities
Of merchant ships damaged and
sunk could not be given for military
reasons. no United States flag mer-
chant ship was sunk at that time.
Admiral Stark said that. in line
with the directions laid down by
President Roosevelt in his radio
address of September II, the Navy
was cooperating with other powers
in protecting merchant shipping in
American defense waters.
DO American naval vessels now
escort merchant ships TO their final
destinations" Senator Walsh asked
Since a categorical reply or a
discussion on this might jeopardize
the safety of a great many ships. no
answer can be given" was Admiral
Stark answer
The Chief of Naval Operations SAID
the Kearny, which limped safely
to port despite torpedo hit amid
ships which almost tore her apart
had dropped depth charges in an
engagement which lasted two hours
and So minutes before she was
struck.
WAS the submarine which tor
pedoed the Kearny fired upon? If
so, by whom and is it probable that
the submarine was sunk or dam
aged?" Senator Walsh asked.
In accordance with the an
nounced policy of the Navy Depart
ment," Admiral Stark replied, ''oues-
tions of this nature will not be an
SWered.'
