Argentine Assistance
In European Relief
Praised by Pope
By the As,oeiated Press

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 13.-Pope
Plus yesterday praised Argentina's S
contributions for relief in Europe
and her disposition to admit Euro
pean en1igrants.
He expressed also a hope for a
"dignified and truly lasting peace" "
in remarks to the new Argentine
Ambassador, Conrado Traverse, who
presented his credentials.
To-day the nations which enjoyed
the happiness of escaping the storms
which brought the most tragic of
all wars are, perhaps, the ones which
are spiritually better prepared and
ready to understand objective and
to appreciate serenely the essential
elements which can serve as a basis
for a digniied and truly lasting
peace" the Pope said.
"To them, therefore, is reserved
the singularly hard and important
task of pacifying and defeating those
trends toward hatred and reprisals,
which even if understandable in
themselves, are no less dangerous.
The pontiff expressed confidence
that Argentina would understand
perfectly the circumstances of the
moment and what they demand and
would not miss the opportunity to
collaborate as intensely as possible,
in the noble objective" of lasting
peace.
The Pope gave customary bless
ing to the Argentine President,
Juan Peron; the government and
the people. He expressed hope that
Argentine relief to Europe would
continue and praised the Argentine
governments action in, sending a
mission to Italy to supervise emil
grafton as a step to "save many
unhappy ones from spiritual and
material misery"
Referring to the obstacles and
impediments" to peace, he said the
task ahead imposed upon national
rulers IAN uncommon degree OF
foresight and prudence"
Mr.. Traverse formerly was con-
sui general in New York and coun-
sellor to the Argentine Embassy in
Washington.

Antarctic Survivors
Tell How Suffering
Delayed Call for Aid

ABOARD u. S. s. MOUNT
OLYMPUS, Jan. 13.-Six survi-
vors of the wrecked Byrd Expe-
dition seaplane told today how
they slowly emerged from the
shock of their plane crash in
the white hell of Antarctica,
withstood terrific hardships and
tenderly buried their three dead
comrades in graves of snow.
william G. H. War;, an aviation
rnachinists' mate of Reading Pa,
and Radioman James Haskins Rob-
bins of San Diego, Calf, were called
mainstays in helping pull the sur
vivors through.
Others said Capt. Henry H. Cald-
well, commander of the seaplane
tender from which the Photographic
fight began, seemed made of iron
and kept the mems courage up until
rescue came, nearly two weeks after
the explosion and crash.
Confident Of Rescue.
When Capt. Caldwell went aboard
his tender, the Pine Island, yester-
day and shook hands with Capt.
George Dufek, the task group COM
mander, his first words to Capt.
Dufek were: There wasn't the
slightest doubt you'd get u.s.
Their rescue, touched off wild
celebrations aboard ships of the
Navy task force.
1t was on the seventh day of their
long vigil that they buried the three
dead under the southern edge of
their crashed planes wing, with an
American flag flying. Capt. Cald-
well conducted burial services.
There was no word yet as to
whether attempts will be made to
recover the bodies from the graves
on a snow-capped hill.
All the survivors said the first
three days were the toughest. None
ate for the first day and half. |
They were suffering varying degrees
of shock.
But then they began digging into
the snow and in the wreckage OF
the plane for food and other sup
plies and set up camp.
Fire Attracts Rescuers.
The mems own fire drew the dis
covery plane to them. Chief pho
tographer's mate Owen McCarty of
Sonoma, Calf, first sighted the
plane and lighted a fire of paper

A presupper class will be held at

rising 800 feet attracted the rescue
plane.
When the plane exploded after
bounding off an icy crest, these men
were killed:
Ensign Maxwell A. Lopez, of New
port, R. I.
Frederick Warren Williams, avia-
ion machinist mate first class, OF
huntington, Tenn.
Wendell K. Hendersin, aviation
radioman first class, of Wilton, Wis.
When the plane crashed Capt.
Caldwell, in the nose, was thrown
clear, as were Robbins and War;.
Chief McCarty, in the rear of the
plane, was knocked partly uncon-
scious but recovered and dragged
himself from the burning wreckage.
The pilot, 1t. q. g. Ralph Paul
LIE Blanc of Martinsville, La, was
strapped in his seat and unconscious
while flames licked through the
cockpit.
Robbins, War; and the co-pilot,
1t. q. g. William H. Kearns, jr,
of Boston, raced up and pulled him
clear.
Listless for Two Days.
Then came nearly two days of
living in numbed shosk while snow
storms whistled around the wreck
age, lost in the vast unexplored
continent.
During that period the men lived
in the rear section of the fuselage
and made no attempt even to leave
their sleeping bags until the third
day.
For the first five days the men
did little but rest and sleep and
searched for anything still usable
lying about. They ate canned
emergency rations.
On the seventh day they buried
their comrades.
They did not find any medical
supplies until the seventh day, when
they located some sulfadiazine
tablets and sulfa crystals in the
wreckage. 1t. Leblanc was given
tablets daily while Chief McCarty
and War; used the crystals for
lacerations.
The men reported they suffered
very little loss of blood.
Radio Contact Fails.
The radiomen rigged a make
shift antenna between the planes
tail and wing in the hope of max
ing radio contact. Capt, Caldwell
on several occasions cranked the
"Gibson Girl" emergency set fol
periods of a half hour, sending Out
S. o. S. calls, but the task force
never heard them.
Two radio receivers aboard the
plane were tried, but not enough
power was available to operate them
The men also laid out radar re-
hectors in generous quantities in
the hope that radar aboard search
planes would detect these pieces o1
metal, but it was mans early in
vention - fire - that played the
greatest role in their detection
and rescue.
