Rare Antarctic Seal Specimens
Collected for National Museum
By Thomas r. Henry
Star Sfoff Correspondent

NAVY ANTARCTIC EXPEDI-
TON, Feb. 2s.-Specimens of the
green-bellied seal, rarest of the seal
femily, have been collected in the
Bellinghausen Sea ice pack for the
National Museum by DR.. Raymond
w. Gilmore of the Fish and Wildlife
Service.
This animal, known as the Ross
seal, has been seen only few times
on the edge of the ice pack and has
not been seen for 20 years before the
last Byrd expedition in these wa
tiers. The seal has the ability to
withdraw it's head almost COM
pletely into its thick neck like a
turtle when attacked. The fur is
yellowish green on the underside
and brown on the back.
DR.. Gilmore, biologist attached
to the expeditions Eastern Group,
also reports he has collected two
other seal species and 20 rare birds
for the museum.
His special job on the trip was to
study the abundance of whales in
various areas of the worlds greatest
whaling seas, looking to restoration
of the industry. He reported count
ing 300 of the sea monsters, indi-
eating abundance, in the whale
sanctuary extending from Palmer
Land to near the international date
line.
This sanctuary agreement among
the nations expired in 1910, but res
toration plans are now underway,
with the details contingent on DR..
Gilmore's observations.

AT Hemisphere ParIey|
BY the Assoeioted Press

MONTEvIDEO, Aug. 13.-Dr.
Mateo Marques Castro, chief of the
Uruguayan delegation to the Rio
de Janeiro hemisphere defense
meeting, Is a career diplomat with
long experience in international
conferences.
He represented Uruguay at the
Chapultepec Conference and before
that at the Seventh Inter American
Conference in Montevideo in 1893,
the Pan-American Commercial
Conference in Buenos Aires in 1885,
the Inter-American Radio Com
munications Conference in Havana
in 1887 and the American
Topographic Conference in Mexico
in 1943.
AS Foreign Minister, DR.. Marques
Castro succeeds a long line of dis
tinguished predecessors. Uruguay
has always depended to a large
extent on the ability of its diplo-
macy In international affairs. DR..
Marques Castro's immediate prede-
cessor, DR.. Eduardo Rodriguez Lar
reta, won wide fame in hemisphere
circles. Before that Uruguay was

Of diplomatic circles in Montevideo
as well as the support of his fellow
countrymen. Likewise, most of
them applauded his defense in
congress of the present foreign
policy. Under questioning by Com
munist representatives he outlined
a four-point thesis which he said
would serve as the basis for Uru-
guay's action at the Rio meeting.
This thesis in brief was: Cd

BUTTER AT
 53 CEN ' S
 FOR JUNE
Com modify Exeh ange Brokers Make Compos-
 fife Guess al Prices

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The men who are among the best informed about food prices, the brokers on the country's commodity exchange mar kets, think prices will SC lower.
 Many New Year predictions have been made recently by banks, econ- omists and business men concern ing future prices. But the fore casts on exchanges are the com posite opinions of brokers dealing in the commodities.
 Butter prices are high, but you can buy some butter today on the Chicago Merchantile Exchange for delivery in June at about 5 cents pound. That's around g cents under present wholesale prices.
 For the average person who just wants some butter to spread on bread that wouldn't be practical you'd have to take l9,200 pounds
 Significance of that 53 cent price however, is that it is todays best guess of the butter and egg men on what the wholesale price will te this summer.
 In nearly all markets in which food is traded for future delivery a similar trend is shown. Eggs are a single exception.

BRITISH CABINET CONCLUDES TALK,
 PALESTINE ISSUE

LONDON. Jan. 9-A British Cab met session on Palestine was can celled today and sources close to Prime Minister Attlee said decisions already taken about the Holy Land would gradually become apparent.
 The Cabinet has had interna- tional issues, including Palestine, under review for two weeks and was reported to have decided that peace with Germany was the most important problem to be laced.
 The Cabinet was reported to have granted Gen. Sir Alan Cunning ham, High Commissioner for Pal estine, wider powers to deal with violence but there was no indica- ton of any decision on partition or appeal to the United Nations for settlement.
 There was speculation in Govern ment circles that rumors of a 60- day suspension of violence by un- derground groups in Palestine had allowed Attlee and his Labor Gov ernment colleagues to delay urgent decisions until after the Palestine conference which is to resume here on Jan. 2l.

SEATTLE, Jan. g - The third storm within a week struck the Western Alaska seacoast today, concentrating it's greatest fury on storm plagued Meme with Easterly gusts reaching 75 miles per hour.
 E. A. Amman, U. s. Weather Bureau forecaster here, said the storm could be expected to con- tinue at major intensity for the next six hours. After that, he said, the Territory can expect improved weather for at least the next few days.
 One storm has followed another cut .oi the Pacific, across the Aleu- tian Chain and up the Boring Sea. A blow which moved up the trough yesterday was followed closely by a second and the two joined to- day to produce the major storm
 The far Western Aleutians were spared much of the buffeting to- day, Amman said, but Dutch Har- bor caught winds of close to 50 miles per hour and similar winds hammered the coast of the Main land.
 The 18th Naval District here said it had no further reports on the activity of Akutan volcano, which was reported in eruption Sunday. A Navy tug was sent from Ko- diak to Akutan Island, about 40 miles East of Dutch Harbor, to determine whether the evacuation of Natives was advisable

 Rep. Taber (NY) is demanding that Army-Navy outlays be cut drastically while Senator Taft of Ohio, is counseling against such a course.
