Ships on Antarctic Lake Move
North While Sailing South
By Thomas R. Henry
Stax Skn& Tnrrssnondant

this simple statement of simple
fact please consult Prof. Albert
Einstein of Princeton University,
who probably can figure it out
in less than month";
This is what happened. The ice
which formed the lake shores was
blown northward by the wind over
the area of as much as 1000 square
miles. All the time the shores were
being compressed inward. The ships
went with the open water, but with
out any awareness of motion.
Meanwhile, another area of open
water was being raised behind the
pressure which increased as the first
area diminished, eventually produc-
ing an almost duplicate lake, even
with a few ice islands floating in
about the same positions. So il
happened that the flotilla moved
when it stood still and moved back
ward while moving forward.
All this involves little more than
simple mathematics but to many in
the crews it seemed like enchant-
ment-particularly as large coal.
black birds were flying around the
ships for the first time. They were
skuas, vultures of the Antarctic, de-
scribed as one of the most blood
thirsty creatures living.

PiIoting Big Planes Held
Safer Than Bartending
By tho Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. IL. - A Trans
World Airline official testified today
that the airline pilot profession is
considered by insurance companies
to be less hazardous than bartend-
ing or baggage handling.
E., Lee Talman of Kansas City
TWAS vice president administra-
tor. made the assertion before a
three-man arbitration board hear
ing on the AFL Airline Pilots AS
sociation demand for higher wages
for two pilots flying new high-speed
Constellation and Skymastel
planes.
Mr.. Talman said airline pilots pay
ian extra insurance premium that
is only half that paid by the bag.
gage handler, and quarter OF the
rate paid by bartenders."
He added tha5 the airline pilots
premium of $50 extra for each ST.
600 of life insurance in 1881 has
been reduced consistently until it is
now only $3.50 per $1,000" Mr.. Tai
man said the baggage handler ano
bartender pay an extra premium o.
IS and $40, respectively.
Comparing the fatality rate oi
airline pilots with that of railroad
engineers, Mr. Talman said the rate
for airline pilots in 1945 was 2.6 pei

Draper Sees Trade Balance
In Reich Occupied Zones

BY the recent economic merger
of United States and British zones
in Germany, it is hoped to balance
the foreign trade of the combined
zones within three years. according
to Brig. Gen. William H. Draper,
jr., economic director for the United
States Military Government there.
The two governments are $3.50
partners in the merger, but the Brit
ish zone has one-third more pop,,-
lation than the United States zone
and less per capita food production,
he explained at press conference
here yesterday.
This means greater food imports
for the British zone" he said. ut
also means that one-half of the
combined food requirements will in
crease our financial food liability
by approximately $130,000,000 the
first year. However, we also will
share in the greater export assets of
the Ruhr, particularly coal, with
out which the American zone would
never become self-suflcient."
Gen. Draper said a supplemental
appropriation of about $3.50, 900, 900
would be necessary to meet our
f1rst-year commitments.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. IL Gov.
Lane tonight reiterated his support
Of the report by the Sherbow Com
mission on Redistribution of State
Revenues, adding that he and Judge
Joseph Sherbcw. commission chair
man, were in practically complete
agreement on the desirability OF
putting the reports recommends
tions into effect.
In formal statement. Gov. Lane
said: "at my request, Judge Sher-
bow came to Annapolis today and
we spent several hours canvassing
the situation and exchanging views.
I'VE find ourselves in practically
complete agreement, not only as to
the desirability Of action by the
General Assembly to put the recon-
| mendations into effect, but also
as to the steps which ought to be
taken to put the State in financial
position to make the recommended
distributions to the localities.
Recalls Past Support of Report.
There ought to be no misunder-
standings as to the effoSs being
made by the present administration
to carry out the recommendations.
IT indorsed the report during the
campaign; since my election, and in
my inaugural address, always point
ing out that it would be necessary
to provide additional revenues for
the purpose and to balance the
State budget. The plans to produce
these revenues will be submitted to
the General Assembly as soon as
they can be formulated"
| Several bills embodying recon-
mendations in the Sherbow report
were introduced during the first
10 days of the General Assembly
session, which started January ]
Annual Session Provided For.
They included measures to set up
a uniform accounting syste m
throughout the State, provide for an
annual legislative session so that
the budget can be placed on a
yearly, instead of biennial, basis;
provide that the counties and other
subdivisions of Maryland be given
a limited first call on the State in
come taxes collected from their in
dividual residents, and that fees
from certain licenses and documents
be turned over to the subdivisions
in which they were collected.
A modified version of the Sherbow
report recommendations dealing with
racing revenues was passed at the
recent special session of the Legis-
lature.
1t is estimated that the States
various subdivisions would collect
more than $12,000,0O0 in additional
revenues If the provisions of the
Sherbow report were enacted into
law.
The legislature is set to get down
to committee work when it con-
venes Monday. The last of the COM
mittees were appointed yesterday
and logjam Of more than 200
bills awaiting consideration will be

WITH NAVY ANARCTIC Ex-
Petition, January 10 Delayed
This is the story of Aladdin's
Lake. a
Three days ago, four ships OF this
expedition became marooned in a
50-square-m open-water lake IN
the middle of the Ross Sea ice pack.
Air observation showed the nearest
open water was another large lake
100 miles southwark.
Last night, the first lake was only
2 square miles in area and the ships,
which had remained motionlesS for
three days, were IS miles north OF
the point on the map where they
had stopped.
This morning, the lake had COM
pletely disappeared. The ships were
surrounded by thin mushy ice and
the lake itself was located, as large
as it had been in the beginning,
about miles southwark. After a
hard fve-mile run through fog
covered ice and the deepest white
darkness" of the summer, the f1otilla
again was safe in the lake.
It had made 13 miles reverse
progress northward in three days
while moving miles southwark.

"RACKETEER'S PARADISE"

Senator Allen ]. Ellender pro-
poses broad revision of Federal
election laws and told the Senate
existing statutes had turned the
campaign contribution system into
"a racketeer's paradise"
He introduced bipartisan legisla-
tiOn to fix new ceilings Of $4,000 on
campaign spending by Senate cam
didates and $4,000 on House aspi-
rants. Existing ceilings are $4,000
and $4,000, respectively.
The plan also would abolish the
present three-million dollar limita-
tiOn on annual spending by the
Democratic and Republican Nat
ional Committees, as well as COM
mittees representing any other
party.
1t would prohibit expenditures
in national elections by corpora
tions, banks or labor organizations
instead of banning only 'contribu-
tions." Ellender said this change
would strike at groups which have
evaded the existing statutes by
spending money directly" on vari
Gus candidates. He said Federal eff
forts to regulate political spending
have utterly failed"
Under the Republican supported
proposal, Senate and House candi
dates would have the choice of:
1. Limiting expenditures to $25,
600 for Senate races and $6,500 TO
House contests. or
2. Spending up to an amount de
termined by multiplying by cent
the number of votes cast in the las
general or primary election for tn
post which the candidate seeks, o
the total number of votes cast with
i'll the State or district for all can
didates for any office at the las
election in which a Governor wa
chosen. In neither event could thi
amount exceed $4,000 for a Senat
candidate or $4,000 for a HOus
candidate.
