Part of Dispatch Received.
The seaplane was one Of three sent
out on a scouting flight over the
Roosevelt and Bellinshausen Seas
by the Eastern group Of the expedi-
tion. A dispatch three days age
from Alton L. Blakeslee, Associated
Press staff writer with the expedi-
ton, had identiied 1t. Leblanc as
the pilot and 1t. Kearns as co-pilot
A dispatch was received today by
the Navy from Mr.. Blakeslee, but
the first part of it was missing,
because of poor communications. In
this dispatch, apparently filed yes
terday, Mr.. BlakeSlee says:
"The missing plane was probably
400 miles from the Pine Island when
| it sent its last message. The planes
were operating in the area of the
Roosevelt and Bellinshausen Seas
/ with instructions specifically to pho
tograph the coastline which is large
ly uncharted and then to work in
land. CThere was no immediate ex-
PLANTATION of the variances in the
distances from the Pine Island as
supplied by the Navy and by Mr..
BlakeSlee.)
Rescue operations will depend
on where the plane is found. The
icepack is a 300-mile wide belt oil
jumbled ice, but with some opened
stretches of water. Extricating men
from there would probably be diff
cult.
"If the men are down inland,
mariners can drop supplies permit
ting them to build a camp and
stay alive for months. Any over
land rescue would be delayed weeks
until the Olympus group (the flo
tilla led by the Mount Olympusl
gets to Little America and builds
an airstrip to receive six twin-en-
CINE Douglas transports being
brought aboard the carrier Philip
pine Seas, due late in January.
Have Emergency Equipment.
'Land-based planes with skis
could fly to the scene or carry dog
sled teams to q point near the
plane. The possibility Of any over
land dog sled trip without planes
going ahead and dropping supplies
! periodically would be extremely
slim.
Emergency equipment carried or
the missing plane also includes Il
life jackets, 2 life RATS, 6 two-man-
size tents, 4 stoves, toboggan sleds
shovels, blankets, first aid kits
kitchen utensils and a 30-day supply
of K rations and especially prepared
foods.
THE area where the plane Il
down is probably 200 miles south
west of Cape Horn, tip Of South
America.
i (Here Mr.. Blakeslee referred to
Ellsworth Land, named by Lin
coin Ellsworth, who few over the
area In 1885. It has mountains
ranging to a height Of Il, 500 feet,

lures, which will open up new ave-
nues for employment as well as ex-
|panded markets for raw materials.
Probably to Come Up In Month.
Mr.. Knutson said the Ways and
Means Committee will take up the
tax cutting bill "as soon as the. .legis-
lative budget with its ceiling on ap-
preparations is approved later this
month"
It was emphasized that persons in
the highest brackets would get the
straight 20 per cent reduction on
the first $500, 900 of their income,
but the reduction In income above
$500, 900 would be los per cent.
The revision failed to soften the
opposition OF Democrats and some
Republicans.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia told reporters this revision
removes none of my objections" and
declared:
Before we reduce taxes we must
reduce Government expenditures,
eliminating many thousands of Fed
feral employees, remove duplicating
Federal activities and make other
economies. We must balance the
budget and pay something on the
debt. Then, when he can, cut taxes"
Fight Looms ON Excise Taxes.
At the same time, there were re-
ports that President Truman is
considering a request to Congress
to head of some of the luxury tax
cuts due to go into effect July l.
A fight over the scheduled 50 to Sc
gallon drop in liquor taxes already
is in prospect.
Democratic ranks appeared to be
closing swiftly In opposition to Mr..
Knutson's proposal. And although
some Republicans have joined with
the Democrats in calling for first
emphasis en- debt retirement, Mr..
Knutson claims heavy COP backing.
Truman Concern Reported.
Word that Mr.. Truman is dis
turhed over the effect the excise
tax cuts will have on the Federal
budget came from administration
officials who are fully acquainted
with tax matters.
They noted that the lower levies
on such items as whisky, beer, furs,
jewelry, cosmetics and night club
bills will take effect automatically
at midyear under terms of the
Presidents hostilities-end procla-
nation unless Congress acts in the
meantime.
The saving to taxpayers over a
full year has been estimated at
81, SOC, ,000, 900.
At the same time, the Govern
ment would lose an equal sum which
1t wants for budget balancing and
debt reduction.
These officials, who asked not to
be identified by name, said Mr..
Truman feels that If the Govern
ment is to give up revenue. it should
do so in some form other than by
tightening the tax burden on luxu-
ries.
Representative Rees, Republican,
of Kansas has announced he will
offer q bilf holding the liquor tax
at 50.
Liquor Is luxury and there Is
no one who needs to buy it," Mr..
Rees told reporters. There is no
good reason why there should be
any reduction in liquor taxes"
Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas indicated he is ready to
take up this battle when the tax
bill reaches the Senate.

doubtful the Mariner had gone
and great distance inland.'o
Mr.. Blakeslee continued:
Rear Admiral Robert Cruzen
(task force commander) said the
search would be conducted until all
possibilities Of finding the missing
plane are exhausted. Fayoring fac
tors for safety, he said, are an ex-
perienced crew and the high alti-
tude at which planes usually fly for

ABOARD THE ICEBREAKEH
NORTHWIND, Jan. 3.-We art
alone in timeless infinity Of white
ness. The Coast Guard icebreakel
Northwind is running southwark
at about 10 knots through com.
pletely unbroken ice. Other ships
Of the South Pole armada were left
behind in a large lake of oper
water, which the Northwind cleared
for them.
The ice is covered with woolly
snow. It extends absolutely smooth
to the horizon on all sides. A rough
surface with the appearance Of a
bombed city was left behind last
night
Ice Feet Thick.
The sky above is almost snow
white. The air is white. In every
direction possible, one looks into
a blank wall Of soft, unstained
whiteness. This phenomenon is un-
known elsewhere in the world, and
rarely here. The nearest compari-
son one can make is to the directly
opposite blackness Of a foggy Lon
don winter night during a blackout
The Northwind sails through ice
about feet thick and cuts like q
sharp knife through ice cream. This
is serious obstacle to the other
ships, even with a channel broken
Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen

wall is again encountered. Then
he will make reconnaissance flights
to determine if entering the Bay OF
Whales is now feasible.
Snow Petrels Seen. !?
lee mere is mostly thick and rotten,
but less broken up than ever re-
ported in the Antarctic in midsum-
mer. Only movement in the white
air is the almost invisible wing
Tapping of hundreds of pure white
little birds, which fly about the
masts. They are snow petrels.
Rare blotches of black can also
be seen on the ice itself. They are
solitary, motionless seals, which
raise their heads as the ship roars
near, take a curious look, then go
to sleep again.
Passage of the Northwind is now
smoother than a first class train on
goor tracks. This ice, explains
Admiral Cruzen, is only the frozen
surface of the sea, but is inter-
spersed with great ribs of ice, more
than Is feet thick. These are
broken off of an area of Antarctic
continent ice, which has drifted
slowly north in previous summers
The Nort1wind will continue until
1t bumps into one of these ribs.
