Plane Rescues 70 Byrd Aides
Cut Off From Arctic Base

Twenty-siX members of the Byrd
Antarctic expedition, cut off from
the ship which had come to evacu-
ate them and facing the arrival of
winter, have been flown out of their
base in Little America.
The spectacular evacuation was
effected last Saturday. according to
word received in Washington. 1t
was necessary for the men to aban-
don most of their equipment and
their dogs
The 26 men composed the per-
sonnel of one of the two bases
maintained by the Antarctic eXpe-
dition The 80 men who were at
the other base were evacuated some
weeks ago without difficulty. But
when the Bear, one of the eXpedi-
tion's two ships, approached the en-
trance to Marguerite Bay, where the
east base was established, it found
passage blocked by ice.

Shipping Adequate, Probe
Of SUGAR Prices Reveals

Rv the Associated Press.
Agriculture Department sugar Of
ficials checked on advancing sugar
prices today. but refused to say
whether they would take action un-
der control legislation to halt the
rise.
C. M. Nicholson, acting chief of
the Sugar Division, said that the
price advances appeared to reflect
apprehension in trade circles as to
the adequacy of shipping facilities
to bring sugar to this country from
the Philippine and Hawaiian Is
lands.
Our Investigations show he said.
that there appears to be no serious
threat of shipping shortage and
that consequently the off-shore su-
gar-producing areas should be able
to supply their full quotas"
Department officials indicated
they thought there was little justi-
flcation for the rise in prices. They
pointed out supplies of sugar in
areas supplying the American mar
kets were more than ample to meet
any possible needs.
Evening star., 1941-03-25

For several weeks the Bear stood
by, hoping favorable winds would
clear the ice-choked bay. But the
weather did not change, and with
winter closing in on the Antarctic,
the evacuation ship found itself
separated by so miles from the base.
Then it was decided to use the
plane which had been operating
from the east base. The plane flew
one load of men from the base to
point near where the Bear was
waiting. then returned again and
again for more passengers.
Full details of the operations have
not yet reached Washington. The
office of naval operations received
only the most meager information
about the evacuation Members OF
the families of the men rescued were
informed that the Bear is now en-
route to the United States, with
stops planned in South America.
