British Deny Asking
New Zealand 10 Race
Byrd Party 10 Pole
By H. J. J. Soreint
North American Newspaper Alliance


LONDON, Dec. 14.-Some sur
prise was caused here yesterday by
dispatch in the Daily Mail from
wellington, New Zealand, stating
that the British government had
urged New Zealand to send an ex-
pedition to the Antarctic to reach
the uninhabited Ross Sea depend
ency in advance of the American
expedition under Admiral Byrd.
The dependency is an area of u.s.
600 square miles lying about 1000
miles south of New Zealand and
was claimed for Great Britain in
1923.
The major consideration behind
the race" of expeditions into the
Antarctic is believed to be recent
developments in the field of cosmic
rays which might enable expedi-
tionS arriving there to establish big
atom smashing observatories in the
Antarctic. So far, New Zealand is
about the only country with in.
terestS close to the South Pole
which has not sent or planned to
SSAANt GA SAktNSA4b1Oll W tllC 0OQtl4
Polar areas this season.
Inquiries in official circles here
relative to the dispatch from We'll
lington produced negative results.
The Dominions Office, the depart
ment that deals with matters re-
lating to self governing parts of the
British commonwealth, indicated
that the Ross Sea dependency be-
longs to New Zealand, so it did not
see why the British government
should urge New Zealand to mind
its own business--part of which is
to guard the Ross Sea- The signifi-
canoe of this statement should not
be overlooked.
New Zealanders Comment.
The Dominions Office added that
1t was for the New Zealand govern
ment to express an opinion The
New Zealand government itself had
made no declaration at this writing,
but New Zealanders themselves have
said plenty.
The Auckland Herald talks of
David and Goliath race which may
soon develop between New Zealand
and the United States to be the first
to reach the Antarctic and particu-
larly the Ross Sea dependency,
which strategic considerations and
sensational possibilities of atomic
observations make vital to New
Zealand"
The Herald adds: "Ticklish in
ternational complications make the
subject one which is avoided deli
cately around parliament buildings,
so great is its secrecy"
Developments Are Expected.
There has been much similar
speculation in New Zealand for more
than a week and scientists in We'll
lington are convinced that, within
the next II months, there will be
developments concerning cosmic
rays which, in the words of DR.. |
Ernest Marsden, director of the De-
partment of Scientific and Indus
trial Research in New Zealand,
may have some surprising reac-
tions."
1t appears that, through cosmic4
rays, nature is providing in the Ross
Sea area it's own cyclotron for bonn
harding the atom on scale which |
should enable scientists to conduct |
observations of world wide impor-
tance. 1t is reported that DR.. Mars
den has urged the New Zealand
government to send an expedition
of scientists to the Ross Sea with
out delay.

great dependence upon Fanny Dix
well Holmes, the droll, intelligent,
understanding Cambridge girl who
shared his life for 81 perfect years.
The play has but a moment for their
common sense Of tragedy In their
inability to have children, but that
is all it needs to make the point of
its influence OF that upon their lives.
X + n
The seven episodes of the Holmes
life in Washington are perhaps as
wisely chosen as could be from the
wealth of those available to the
author of 1.-THE Magnificent YAM
kee"
Those in the first act show the
Holmes hesitant approach to
washington in the stormy atmos-
phere of Theodore Roosevelt, also
referred to throughout the play as
that man in the White House" and
the rupture in relations after the
justice has diSsented in the Great
Northern case. The justice also was
liberal and a believer in social
progress, but he had a Yankee alb
horrence of Roosevelt's ego and
fear of the latter's disdain for the
law. Here, Mr.. Lavery has chosen
adroitly from Holmes own words
to disclose his hero's character and
faith. They are good words, but
merely words which permit of little
animation on the stage.
The Justices trouble with a 50th
anniversary speech to his class at
Harvard, his concern over the con-
firmation of Louis Brandeis and his
Both birthday anniversary constitute
the concerns of the second act
They are interesting episodes, warm
and alive and mostly treated with
humor, but they serve merely to
move the play along In time, not
in dramatic climb.
Fanny's illness, the judges harass-
ment over the Rozika Schwimer
case, his loneliness after Fann's
death and the visit of the newly
elected Franklin D. Roosevelt are
treated in the third act.
Good selections for an album thew
make and pleasantly posed in
Woodman Thompsons library set
ting, but they always fall short of
the iiveliness Of the remembered
man. The man who, at SO, could
be filled with yearning to be $50
again" when his eye fell upon an
attractive woman.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-01-01

life of the Justice. In three acts Of
seven scenes it undertakes to COM
press 81 of the SO years the Great
Dissenter spent in Washington.
The seven scenes, inescapably, but
not to the advantage of liveliness,
are laid in the Holmes library. It
was the perfect setting for the legal
philosopher, the wife he adored, the
parade Of secretary "sons" from
Harvard and the few friends he cared
to see. But, for dramatic purposes, It
could only emphasize that he loved
humanity from distance and that
he had to be a recluse to prove that
the law was a living thing.
The articulate justice, as lively as
any man could be in the limited or
bit Of the play, left a vast reservoir
OF pungent speech and recorded
opinion for the author of 1.-THE Mag
nificent Yankee" to draw upon. Mr..
Lavery has done an admirable and
discriminating job of selection in
this respect. In the Justices own
words, and Mr.. Calhern's nicely inai-
tative infections and expressions, he
has revealed his character as witty,
fiery, hkeably irascible, passionately
patriotic and incorrigibly romantic.
He has revealed also the Justices
