ABOARD U. S. S. MOUNT
OLYMPUS, Dec. 31.-Six ships OF
this South Pole armada are plowlng
fairyland seas to meet the New
Year in a new world.
East and west, a few miles away,
is a broken skyline of steepled ice
bergs in fantastic shades of white,
blue and green. 1t is like sailing on
a broad river through an inter-
minable city of cathedrals.
The icebergs stand about $50 feet
out of the water. Vast, domed
caverns of cobalt blue, through
which a small ship might sail,
lead into their mysterious interiors.
Along the horizon ahead is a
broad band of yellowish white,
broken by gaps of black. This is the
lice blink" an optical phenomenon
which occurs when great masses OF
ice are in contact with warmer
water. Seldom seen outside the
Antarctic, it serves warning OF the
great Ice pack circling the continent
just ahead.
The black gaps mean breaks of
open water, and Rear Admiral Rich
ard H. Cruzen directs the ships to-
ward them.
For a few moments today, watch
ers on the bridge thought they saw
through their binoculars the white
edge of the ice pack itself. 1t turned
out to be only another iceberg, 200
feet high and about 500 square miles
in area-8 times the size OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
This is the largest iceberg we have
met so far, but it is actually small
compared to many that have been
seen in these seas. The largest,
recorded in 1921, was 10000 square
miles in area-bigger than Massa-
chusettS.
Whales play all around. and
tossing hocks of sea birds with black
heads and snowwhite wings sur
round the ship.
Our rendezvous point today was
near two black rocks, incongruous
among the icebergs. They consti-
tute Scott Island, which stands
like a lone sentry at the gate OF
fairyland-the only land in 100 1000
square miles of sea. Today they
are probably the most photographed
chunks of rock on earth.
No human being has even set foot
on Scott Island, although specimens
have been taken from rocks off the
shore. Landing is prohibited by
steep, black cliffs, washed by the
angry sea.

preparations today for entrering

Macarthur Cautionsl
japanese 10 UtiIizesd
/ Freedom, Democracy
BY the Associotsd Press

TOKYO, Dec. 31.-Gen. Macarthur
cautioned the Japanese people to-
night that unless they take full ad-
vantage of democracy and freedom
there can be but superficial and
temporary change from that which
brought only tragedy In Japans
past"
The occupation chief, in New
Year message, said the success OF
many reforms that have come since
the surrender depended on tho
manner in which the people dis
charged their new political respon-
sibilities, the leaders they chose and
the faithfulness of those leaders in
preserving the peoples rights.
"On the people alone rests the
solution to many OF the pressing
problems which harass Japan's pres
ent and will shape Japan's future"
Gen. Macarthur said.
In the year just past, he declared,
none will fail to concede major
advances" toward a social system
that seeks equality of opportunity,
maximum human freedom and ele-
vation of the dignity, well-being and
happiness of the individual.
In the year ahead, he pointed
out, the new constitution will 60
into effect, placing sovereign power
in the hands of the people; agrar-
ian reforms will be implemented so
the farmer may keep the gains OF
his toll, and the people will have
the opportunity to select their own
leaders.
In conclusion, Gen. Macarthur
said, "it is my prayer, indeed. my
firm anticipation, that the japanese
people will understand and grasp
this opportunity and rise resolutely
to meet its challenge. Therein lies
Japan's salvation-therein lies the
opportunity for future peace and
happiness for the Japanese people
and therein lies the hope Of all the
peoples of the East for better civi-
| lization.

Portal Pay Suits Near
"A Billion and a HALF;
Tax on Them Discussed
BY the Associofsd Press

The total of retroactive portal-to-
portal pay and damage suits on file
today climbed toward the billion
and-a- half dollar mark, exclusive of
unspecifled claims.
The total of specified amounts
sought by workers was 81 ,374 ,456, 900.
There was talk in congressional
circles, however, that new legislation
imposing "windfal tax" might give
the Federal Treasury virtually all of
any back pay awards won by workers
in the courts.
1904, 4,456, 900 Claimed in Day.
In Chicago, wartime industrial
Arms were advised by some tax ex-
perts that they would be unable to
recover from the Government,
through renegotiation of closed war
contracts, any retroactive portal
wages which courts may order paid
by the firms.
The total of back portal pay claims
filed yesterday was 1904, ,450 900.
Some of the suits, like others filed
during recent weeks, asked no spe-
cific amount, but left it up to the
court to determine. Employe at
torneys say the unstated amounts
sought total many millions of dollars
Representative Knutson, Repub-
lican, CT Minnesota, new chairman
of the writing Ways and Means
Committee, said yesterday that the
portal pay suits PROBABLY would total
more than five billion dollars and
that a windfall tax was being con-
sidered.
See No Aid for Employers.
Such tax, it was reported, would
put the workers back pay gains
eventually in the Treasury by spe-
cial taxes on the workers. Corpora
tions might pay the back wage
judgments, then claim for refunds
of war-paid excess profits taxes to
cover the added costs. Congress
then might recover these claims fol
the Treasury by taxing the workers
who received the retroactive wages
In Chicago, however, some indus
trial tax experts said the Wal
Profits Renegotiation Act provides
little or no aid to employers ad-
judged liable for back portal pay.
These experts said in most cases
the Renegotiation Act is lone way
street" in that war contractors can
not 60 back to the Government ano

They said the act permits reopen

British War Losses Listed.
Sir David Smith, for many years
head of the largest building and
loan association in England, re-
viewed British building industry
war losses at a luncheon of the
District Building and Loan League
in his honor at the Carlton Hotel
yesterday.
One house in every four was dam
aged or destroyed. In all 3l2 mil
lion properties suffered war devasta-
ton, including 1899 hospitals. Great
numbers of homes and shops in
London were wiped out.
During the war private enterprise
was static. The outlook Is now
brighter. There> is a revulsion of
feeling in England against govern
ment construction which is spread
ing rapidly. Controls were neces-
sary during the war but the public
now demands an easing up of rules
no longer needed, the speaker said.
Sir David answered many ques-
tionS at the conclusion of his talk.
He was introduced by Rudolph w.
