Most of the IA employees working

Fire Marshal Roy Roberts said the

it is believed a spark from the ma

800 in Petition Back Antarctic Explorers
Of New Bank Survey He'll Holes
By Group at Bethesda 0f Glacial Winds

Petitions containing 1900 names,
asking the Organizing Committee
of the proposed new Merchants
Bank of Bethesda to proceed with
plans, were filed at a mass meeting
of business men and women in
Bethesda yesterday.
William L. Lebling, president of
the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
and chairman of the Organizing
Committee, explained the meeting
was called to sound out community
sentiment following announcement
by the Suburban National Bank of
Silver Spring that it intends to
establish a branch in Bethesda as
soon as a building can be obtained.
The committee had proved the
existence of a need for a second
bank, he said, had obtained sub
scriptions from ITS persons for
$375, 900, had negotiated for per-
sonnel, obtained an option on site
and was at the point of filing for a
charter with the State banking COM
missioner when the Suburban Ma
tional Banks announcement was
made.
Mr.. Lebling read 3 letter from T.
Howard Duckett, president Of the
Suburban National Bank, in which
the bank official expressed determi-
nation to 60 ahead with the branch
project in Bethesda.
Francis Hill, jr, another member
of the organizing committee, said
his committee had received mega
tive answer early last year when 1t
asked every bank In Montgomery
County whether branch was under
consideration.
Joseph Cantrel, who said he had
no connection with the organizing
committee and had subscribed to no
stock in the proposed new bank,
urged the committee to proceed with
its plan. He said the Bethesda
Chevy Chase post of the American
Legion, with membership of 500,
had voted unanimously to support
the committee ito the exclusion of a
Silver Spring institution"
The committee indicated its wil~
ingness to proceed If sufficient indi-
vidually signed petitions are turned
in within the next few days. The
bank can be opened for business
within two months If community
support is forthcoming, the COM
imittee said.

NAVY ANTARCTIC BASE, Feb.
1.-The region of the Antarctic's
"hell holes" is now being surveyed
by the Byrd expeditions eastern
group operating along the cost OF
the Bellinghausen Sea.
This name was applied by Admiral
Richard E. Byrd to phenomenon of
that region found nowhere else in
the world. Here great glaciers flow
through high mountain passes and
empty into bays cutting far into the
land.
Heavy, cold winds from the south
polar plateau falls from the stratos-
phere over the glaciers and mixes
with warmer air from the sea. The
result is constant winds Of so to
80 mile-an-h hour velocity which pour
through the bays as exhausts
through tunnels.
Navigation Impossible.
AS a result, the mouths of the bays
are almost impossible for navigation.
Twenty miles farther north there
may be dead calm.
Two of the most celebrated "hell
holes" are near Cape Colbeck at the
foot of the Rockefeller Mountains
and near Marguerite Bay on the
eastern edge of the Bellinghausen
Sea, but these exhaust valves Of tre-
mendous energies stored up over
the Antarctic Continent are scat
tered all along the coast.
Unbroken bowling of wind for
days sometimes has driven men
crazy. Admiral Byrd says.
Crevasses Bar Path.
Meanwhile, one of the first flights
of land-based planes from the Bay
of Whales will try to locate a path
through or around "all of he'll"
These terrible natural features lie
at 81 degrees south latitude at the
base of the Queen Maude Mountains
on the Ross ice shelf, which has
been the greatest handicap for all
expeditions attempting to make the
shortest overland route to the con-
tinent's interior and the South Pole.
South Of 81" is a familiar phrase
to all Antarctic explorers. This is
a region of indescribably weird ice
pressure ridges separated by wide
crevasses thousand feet deep, In
some of which a battleship would
disappear.
No way has ever been found
around this dire region many miles
broad. The crevasses are often hid
den by bridges formed by drifting
snow. They cam be crossed slowly
and at great peril by dog teams or
men on foot, but form an impossible
bar to any effort to penetrate the
interior with motor transport. The
lightest of snow tractors would break
a snow bridge and fall into the
depths of crevasSe.
