BILB0 REPORTED
NOW IMPROVING
Surgeons Perform Opera
ton To Remove Blood
Clot From Lung

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10. Up
Sixty-nine-year-old Senator
Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi, a
veteran of political wars, was wag-
ing a hard fight for his life today
at Foundation hospital.
And a late bulletin from the
hospital, which described his con-
dition as being very good" indi-
Gated he had gained some ground.
The hospital reported that the
surgeons had performed a minor
operation to remove a blood clot
on the lungs. This consisted of tie
ing off a vein where the clot, known
as pulmonary embolism, had oc-
CURED, thus blocking it off from
the heart.
The hospital authorities said the
vein was tied off tn prevent a re-
currence OF the embolism.
Since this operation the Sena-
tor has rallied and his condition is
considered as being very good
read the bulletin.
The Senator came to New Or
leans ten days ago, tired and worn
and afflisted with a feaver. He is
awaiting another IN a series of
operations for removal of a can
cerous growth from his mouth and
restoration of a portion of the
lower jawbone.
When the blood clot appeared
yesterday the Senator's condition
was listed as serious, but during
the day an improvement was noted
and the patient sat up in bed a
while and took nourishment.
Among relatives who visited him
today was his son, Col. Theodore
Jr., who is an instructor in
the command and staff college at
Fort LeavenWorth. Kansas.
At the time Bilbo was stricken
he announced his intention of e
turning to Washington when his
health permits and fighting to re-
gain his seat.
The Senator was denied his seat
temporarily in the 80th Congress
IN senatorial charges that he sought
to keep Negroes from voting in
the 1916 Democratic primary, and
accepted favors from war con-
tractors.

Committee To Tour Europe
To Determine Future Aid

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is - R
Chairman Bridges GRIND of the
Senate Appropriations committee
announced tonight that Is mem
bers are going to Europe to size up
results of Americas foreign aid
expenditures and determine the
need for the continued large out
lay"
Nine Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis will sail October l to tour
all occupied areas, Greece, Tur-
key, Italy, the Balkan countries,
France, England and The Meth
erlands.
1.-THE purpose of the trip"
Bridges said in a statement, sis
to review the results of expendl-
lures made to date and to deter
mine the need for the continued
large outlay Of United States tax
payers funds for the sterilization
of Europe"
Bridges listed these specific sub
jects to be studied:
Problems of economic recon-
struction, agriculture and indus
trial recovery, and the Marshall
plan for solving them.
United States aid to Greece and
Turkey.
Duties and morale of U. S. SOL
diers and civilians in occupied
zones.
The problem Of displaced per-
sons and the general immigration
situation.
State department offices and ac-
tilities with particular reference
to Voice of America broadcasts."
Activities of the office of for.
eign liquidation with first hand
inspection of unliquidated surplus
material stockpiles."
The Middle East Oil situation.
The use of special currency in
occupied areas.
Regarding the latter Bridges said
eve are particularly interested in
ascertaining that the condition no
longer exists whereby foreign pow
ers may profit at American ex-
pense from uncontrolled printing
press procedures"
This obviously was a reference
to issuance of engraving plate for
Z. S. occupation currency to tle
Russians. The committee found
that much of this currency put into
circulation by the Russians had
to be redeemed by the United
States.
Besides Bridges these senators
will make the trip:
Brooks R-IID; Reed R-Kanso,
Ferguson (R-Mich), Wherry (R-
Neb), Gordon R-Ore), Young (R-
ND, Knowland (R-Calif), Dwor-
shak (R-Idaho), Mcclellan Cd
TENN, Elmer Thomas (D-Okla).
Russell D-Ga), McCarran Cd
New, O'MaAoney D-Wyo) and
Green ORD.
The announcement said the
wives of several senator's may ac-
company the group, but that thes
will not be permitted to enter &C.
cupied zones and will be required
to pay their own expenses.
A committee aide said the trip
is being made under general au-
t%horization OF the congressional re-
organization act, and not on the
basis of any specific resolution. =

Death Toll Now Presumed
To Be 10; Three Pas

HONOLULU, Aug. 18.-W.H-
Military authorities tonight vir-
tually abandoned hopes OF finding
the bidies of George c. Atcneson'
Jr., political adviser in the Jap
anese occupation, and four CO.
passengers and creWmen OF an
Army BIZ that crashed in shark
infested waters killing five others.
The toll of the crash AZ IL miles
from tn island of Oahu was thus
10 dead or missing and presumed
dead. Three of the Is passengers
and crewmen aboard the converted
Flying Fortress survived.
A dozen Army, Navy and Marine
search and rescue planes joined
a flotilla of seven destroyers. a
Navy oiler and a Coast Guard
cutter in criss-crossing an area
IS miles wide and So miles long.
They worked over the boxed-otf
area west of Oahu on the theory
that the bodies may have drifted
many miles since the four-engined
P1olAC boll WV VI 6dS ain WIN
down Is minutes flying time from
land
Navy headquarters said there
was only an ''eXtremely remote
possibility that Atcheson OF any
of the missing could still be alive
But it announced that IL planes
will be kept in the air until dark
ness and that the surface search
will be continued until all posi-
bility of finding the bodies was
exhausted.
The plane was flying the Kwaja-
lein to Honolulu leg of a Tokyo TO
Washington hop carrying Atcheson
and four high-ranking Army and
Navy officers of the supreme COM
mand to the capital for consluta-
ton.
Atcheson, 5O-year-old career d.

FRANKFURT, Germany, April IL.
Adolf Hitler had a terrible fear
OF the American B-29 Super Fortress
bomber In the last months of the
war and an amazing lack OF faith
in his own V-Weapons, charred rec
ords of his secret staff, conferences
showed today.
The partly burned stenographic
transcripts of his wartime confer
ences, captured by the United States
Army and released here, disclosed
Hitler told Hermann Goening and
members Of the army general staff
January 10, 1915:
Things are such that the Ameri-
can B-29 now is in action. The
japanese Gee them already. I feel
a great danger, and one cannot
weigh this danger too lightly. The
B-29 bomber can be Germany's de-
struction. These deadly machines
will make their appearance here"
The B-29 never appeared in Eu-
rope during the war, but Hitler's
repeated references to them showed
he feared them perhaps even more
than the approaching armies Of the
Allies.
Even now" he told Luftwaffe
Chief Goering, blasting the field
marshal for fiddling around with
the construction OF out-of-date
fighter planes" the enemy planes
come like parade, and when the
big ones come, German planes will
literally enter a hailstorm Of fire"
He said German planes would be

moved down ruthlessly. Hitler feii
America could win the World WaI
with the B-29, saying:
''The Americans can produce b
2s's in great masses. What else does
he need, the American? He can
crush everything with them. No
body can come and tell me they
won't attack us. Now they are at
tacking Japan with 10 to 100 planes.
But these will soon increase to 200,
then 500, then 1000 and then 1000.
AS for the vi and W. weaons,
which Dr. Joseph Goebbels promised
the German people would turn the
tide of the war for them, Hitler had
different ideas when he spoke Sc
cretly to his generals.
On the same day he was SO wor-
ried about the appearance OF the
BIG, he said:
81 am sorry to say that the v
weapons cannot decide the war"
The same month, January, 1945,
when the Allies were in Antwerp,
an extract from a burned situation
report quoted Hitler as saying:
Yesterday / gave out orders that
so Messerschmitt 262's should be re-
fitted to carry 500 kilogram bombs. I
simply must be able to drop them on

BRAZZAVILLE, French Equa-
torial Africa, April Monsieur
Sadoul, governor of Moyen Congo,
French Equatorial Africa, is tough
character to get a gorilla from. He
turns bland unappreciative eye on
scientific expeditions searching for
monkeys and chimps and his usual
reaction to forays into these parts is
distinctly inhospitable. The governor
and the French government even
have gone so far as to ban the ex-
port of baby monkeys, chimps and
gorillas.
However, since my job was to try
to get a baby gorilla for Gargantua
and his mate Toto, ! went to the
governor and told him by story. He
was tremendously interested in these

wanted to acquire q baby for Gar
gantua and Toto, and the governor
seemed eager to help me. So eager,
in fact. that we now have a sextet
of baby gorillas three little males
and three little females.
The governor gave us letter
authorizing their capture. and we
found them in the interior of the
country, exactly on the equator.
They were in an area 50 dense with
native foliage-on which gorillas
feed-that they had to be carried
out by native bearers holding cages
on poles between their shoulders. No
paths or trails existed in this area.
Governor Sadoul asked that these
six babies be considered an express
sion of friendship between France
and the United States and suggested
that perhaps the American public
would like to name them. I assured
him that many Americans would
like the chance to suggest names
and we agreed that the French min
lister of colonies should be the judge.
Americans who are interested In
the contest should write the names
for three baby male gorillas, and
three baby female gorillas and send
them to M. Marius Moutet, Minister
Of Colonies, Paris, Francs. After his
selection of six symbolic names, win
ners will receive season passes to
Ringing Brothers and Barnunl &

be airmailed, must be postmarked
no later than April 20.

1NANA).-Of the 20 men and women
on this. expedition, only four ever.
had visited the Antarctic before.
since few people In the United
states ever have been here, 1t seemed
of interest to give the impressions
of some Of these Antarctic green
horns.
ROBERT L. NICHOLS,
GEOLOGIST.
After a day Of geoligizing, I sat
down on an outcrop looking east
ward and saw magnificent pano-
rama-perhaps the most beautiful
scene of my life. A lingering Antrac-
tic sunset tinged the snowfields
pink; turreted blue icebergs filed
the bay; great glaciers pushed icy
green tongues to the sea; and brown
and black rocks marked the steep
sided mountains pushing their sum-
nits thousands of feet above sea
level.
I asked myself as on previous oc-
casions when viewing new scenery
how does this compare with what
many say is the greatest example
Of erosion and the most awesome
and sublime spectacle on the planet
the Grand Canyon. The answer
was immediate. No comparison can
be made. Each is majestic, unique
and inspirational in It's own way.
Viewing the scene as a geologist, I
was impressed by the fact that prob
ably at no other time during the
millions of years of the geological
history of this area was the scenery
so grand. Breath taking! For this I
was thankful.
ROBERT DODSON, SURVEYOR.
was impressed most of all by the
warmth, serenity and color of the
scene as We arrived at the base on
calm, sunny afternoon In the late
Antarctic summer. There was color
in the steep rock faces, in the ice
hergs and the glacier ice; colors that
had never expected to see. which
cannot be reproduced faithfully In
photographs.
The peaks around us made the
ship seem very small at its anchor
age in the ford.
Only the lack of vegetation, the
great thickness of the glaciers and
the ever-present icebergs reminded
me that this was the Antarctic and
not lake In a Rocky Mountain
Valley.
jHARRIES-C -CLICHY PETERSON
On my arrival in Marguerite Bay,
I experienced an awe-inspiring
change from my accustomed urban
life. Glaciers cracked with sharp
resounding shots; flow ice bonn
barded the shore with every move;
avalanches of ice were continuously
roaring downward. All these
sounds made me more respectful of
the forces of nature than ever did

have never witnessed such a
scene of wild beauty-the great
white wilderness broken by noun
tain peaks rising steeply from sea
level gave me feeling of adventure
and inspiration. Then the unsur-
passed Antartic sunset closes the
day and the whistling of the winds
and the bowling of husky teams fill
the air-and I know I shall find no
rest In Antarctica, and none again
without it. .....-..
CLARENCE o. FISKE,
CLIMATOLOGIST.
Exploring in the Antarctic has
long been a little back of the mind"
thought to me.
My first impression and view Of
Antarctica was how extraordinarily
like James Hilton's Lost Horizon"
this was. The pass behind the camp
Evening star., 1947-04-13

Is q perfect original from the movie
set. The snow and the mountains
were much like the areas In China
or Japan had flown over during
the war.
My final thrill before ! settled
down to Antarctic life was the glori-
GUS feeling I felt when Comdr.
Finn Ronne permitted me to raise
the American Flag over the camp
for the first time since 1t came down
in 1s41. I shall always remember
that feeling
JAMES LASSITER, SECOND
PILOT.
My first view Of the Antarctic
was a very pleasant surprise be-
cause OF the erroneous impression
that this continent was a fiat waste
land covered solidly with ice and
snow. Quite the contrary, this area
Is In my opinion one of the most
scenic and spectacular sections of
the world.
The towering icebergs that dot
the bay and move like big grumbl-
ing animals through the smaller
foes and growlers; the blue, white
and green glaciers that crack and
rumble almost continuously; the
mountains with rock slides reflect
ing a thousand hues and colors--
all make spectacular setting that
only poets and artists can visualize.
The penguins. seals and thous-
ands of birds void any idea of desc
lation and furnish a field for ZOO
logists and ornothologists that
probably Is not equalled elsewhere.
Each new day brings so many
new things to see and there is so
much of interest that I believe
the coming year here will pass all
too quickly for the members Of
our expedition.
