ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION
 THREATENED
May Return Home Earlier Then Expected on Ae-
 count of Freeze

ABOARD USS MT. OLYMPUS LITTLE AMERICA, Jan. 23--tDe- layed) --The threat of a sudden heavy freeze may force the Navy's Antarctice expedition to return home weeks earlier than originally planned.
 At present, ships in the expedi- tion's central group are anchored ir the open water of the Bay ol Whales at the edge of the South Polar ice cap.
 But to the north is the menac- ing Ross Ice Pack, bigger thar ever this year
 In the event of a sudden freeze extending the ice pack into the bay, the thin hulls of the Mt. Olym- us, and the cargo ships Yancey and Merrick might be crushed.
 Admiral Richard Cruzen, task force commander, already has ex- pressed concern about such a pos sibility. He told reporters witE the expedition that he and Admir- al Richard Byrd. expedition leader aboard the carrier Philippine Sea north of the ice pack, have been considering an early start home Original plans called for a stay here until early March.

SEATTLE, Jan. 24-Foster Mo- Govern of the National Bank of Commerce was elected chairman of the Alaska Committee of the Washington State Advisory Com- mission at a meeting yesterday.

SANAT0RIUM AT
 SkAGWAY TO BE
 MOVED TO SITkA
Change Is for Eeonomitd| Purposes as We'll as
 Many Other Reasons

In reply to the Skagway Cham Der of Commerce protest regarding the evacuation of the Tuberculosis Sanatorium and tranferral of al patients to the former wartime Army hospital at Alice Island, Sit ka. ANS Superintendent Don Fost- CT revealed today that the Super intendent of the Skagway Tuber- culosis Sanatorium was advised oi the plans on the same day that ap- proval from the Chicago ANS off ice and Bureau of the Budget reached the local office. It was necessary to receive a clearance from these sources before any an nouncement of the proposed trans fer could be made.
 Foster stated that the high cost of maintenance and operation IT the outmoded buildings of the san- atorium, coupled with the heating problems and inadequate transpor- tation facilities made continued functioning of the institution ln- advisable. Also adding to the many other disadvantages that were con tributing factors in the abandon ment of the Skagway Sanatoriun were undesirable climatic condition. and the flood danger which was constant threat because of the hos pitals' unprotected location on river bed.
 Economy Forces Move
 One of the prime considerations in the move is economy. F'ostel said. The consolidation of Skag' ways 89 hospital patients and 6' members of the personnel will re. alize an annual budget saving ol approximately $35,000.
 While the present Skagway fac ilities will not accommodate over l0' patients, Alice Island is equipped to handle 150 bed patients. Con- struction of necessary additiona quarters for personnel at Skag' way would cost around $40,00O ol s50,O0O, Foster said. Because sucf expenditure plus the cost of ln- stalling a complete new heating sys- tenn would exceed current budge' plans. Foster recommended the transferring of patients and per sonnel to the Bureau of Indian

WITH TASK FORGE FRIGID FAIRBANKS, Alaska. Jan. 23. - tDelayedl- American Arctic got it's baptism of fire today.
 The primordial silence of the frozen tundra was split by the thunder of artillery fire. Tanks rumbled across the ice and snow creating an unexpected ice fog which yelled the advance.
 Soldiers of the Army ground fore es charged heavily across the white, bitter wasteland, their rifles crack ling and huming in the stiffness. Pyrotechnics flashed garishly in the blue gray twilight.
 It was a mock battle fought by Task Force Frigid, the first such maneuvers ever held in northern Alaska winter, according to staff officers, they said it showed how Alaska could be defended if at tackled
 The party of touring newsmen and photographers set out in Wea sels and Jeeps before dawn to wit ness this unique test of military equipment and tactics, It was Al degrees below zero A dismal ice fog made it impossible to see more than 100 yards at sunrise. The dim headlights of the caravan and the thick steam of our breaths were about all We could see.
 Road Over Tundra
 We drove for 20 miles across the first road ever built in this section of the tundra, crushed by tanks and bulldozers through the spruce and birch, across the congealed tangle of moss and roots, which thaws in the summer for only few feet. Below that the ice never melts.
 We crossed the ice bridge over the Panama River, wound south between the snow drifts and low forest growth to the artillery em- placement. Howitzers of 75 and l05 millimeter blasted the imaginary enemy, whose ssAvance on Fair banks we were opposing.
 The projectiles made strange prolonged whizzing sound caused by the metal blowing through mass es of ice particles in the air, These

PLANE (RA5HES; PILOT KILLED; 7
 PARACHUTE OUT

SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-The pilot was killed and two crewmen para chuted to safety when an Army CAT transport ran out of gas and crashed in the suburban Lynwood district on the outskirts of Seattle last night.
 The crash followed a dramatic effort by airport control towers to guide the troubled plane to a safe landing after it had reported it's radio fading out and gas running low.
 A moment after the Sand Point Naval Air Base had brought the plane on it's radar beam, the gas- less motors went dead and it plum meted to earth less than two miles from the landing strip. The plane did not burn but wreckage was strewn over radius of 100 yards near watertower atop a thickly-wooded hill. The pi- lots body was found pinned in the wreckage.
 It was believed the pilot, whose name was not divulged, went to his death rather than risk the chance of leaving the plane to plunge into one of the lakeside homes which dot the area.
 It. Morris E. Smith, 26, Clinton, Ky, co-pilot, and It. H. B. Kini- son 26, Charleston, w. Va, navigator, were taken to the Sand Point Naval Hospital for observa- tion after searching parties found them wandering through brush a few hundred yards from Lake Washington.
 The plane, enroute from Great Falls, Mont, to McChord Field about 35 miles south of here, had bucked heavy winds and adverse weather over the Cascade Noun tains.

NEW PLANS 5. 5. LINES
 COMING UP
Three Companies to Sub. mil Proposals for 0per-
 afing After March 1

WASHINGTON, Jan 24.-Three Alaskan steamship companies which lave threatened to discontinue ser- vice unless they have higher rates when the government returns the lines March l are expected to pre- sent an interim plan to Congress- men here Tuesday.
 Rep. Jackson (D-Wash) member of House Merchant Marine Sub committee, said today company re- presentatives would confer with his group on next Tuesday.
 "We understand the companies are going to present plan for continuing the service to Alaska, D Jackson said. We will give Alas kans chance to hear the proposal and hope it will be one that will be acceptable to all concerned.
 The service to Alaska will stop on March unless some plan is evolved to continue it. The govern ment has ordered the steamship lines returned to their owners on that day and there are no govern ment funds available for keepinog the service going
 Jackson said that bills introduced in Congress to authorize the Mari time Commission to continue its present handling of the steamship lines cannot be enacted and an ap- propriation made in time to meet the situation
 Any plan presented by the ship ping companies, Jackson said, would have to be approved by the Mari time Commission. He said that the Alaskan Development Board would be represented at the Tuesday con- ference.
 On Monday, Jackson added members of technical commission appointed to investigate the feasi- bility of a long range plan for handling the Alaskan steamship transportation problem will report
 The steamship companies to be represented at the conference with the committee and Maritime Com mission are the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northland Transpor- tation Company and the Alaska Transportation Company.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It was carefully hushed up at the time, but the pol itical mess in Georgia might have been avoided if the Justice De- partment had gone ahead with a secret probe it conducted of the Talnadge election.
 Last fall, the Justice Department had FBI men making thorough check of Talmadge intimidation and racial discrimination at the polls. This, under recent Supreme Court rulings, now is the direct concern of the Federal government and can be prosecuted as criminal offense.
 The FBI investigation showed that Talmadge had sent instruc- tions to the Georgia primary polls aimed at preventing negroes from voting. Although the evidence was conclusive, the Justice Department finally got cold feet. The case was dropped.
 One obstacle the Justice Depart ment ran up against was the fact that Eugene Talmadge was sick and they couldn't get to him for interrogation. Also son Herman Talmadge outbluffed the Justice boys and refused to answer ques- tions unless a stenographer was present.
 Final factor, however, was the fear that Federal Government in teryention in Georgia would boom erang, hurting the very same lib- eral forces the Justice Department wanted to help.

ice particles make it necessary to set the range at 77o0 yards to hit a target only 6.800 yards away.
 Force Of Explosion
 That's one of the things the or dinance men have learned up here They've learned too how much to allow for the difference in the force of the explosion when the gunpow der is frigid, compared to warm powder They've learned that the temperature is g degrees warmer three thousand feet above the earth than at ground level, and this ne cessitates another change in range calculation.
 The party moved to butte overlooking the flat. bleak battle field, where two artillery observers have been encamped in tent fol month reporting on the effect ol artillery fire. The two enlisted youngsters seemed very glad tC nave company.
 The sun was a ghastly white flare, curving in a low arc across the southern sky, setting at 3 pm We who were on the butte learned of the ferociousness of Arctic cold how it claws at exposed flesh,
 Photographers Stumped
 Photographers could not operate their cameras in thick gloves. Ii their hands were barred even fol few minutes they were frost bit- ten Their lenses iced, their shut ters froze.
 Reporters who tried to take notes with bare hands felt in five min utes as if they had been fishing for something they had lost ir slushy ice water. Mufflers of hand kerchiefs had to be kept over tht face to warm the breath and keel the skin from freezing.
 A CAT plane streaked in close to the hilltop, dropped one enc of telephone line by parachute then sped away at 120 miles pei hour to lay six miles of line in 6 few minutes. The wire gave tele- phone communication between the observation station and the com mand post.
 Small Maneuver
 More artillery fire from 75. 90 and 70 millimeter guns. Blasts from GO and 8l millimeter mortars. A column of tanks plowed across the valley and the foot soldiers moved in.
 It was a small maneuyer, involv- ing only a company of infantry battery of field artillery and com pany of tanks. But it was sufficient to test equipment and men, which is the Task Forces purpose. Alto gether 800 men participated.
 As the firing ceases, half track and a Weasel rolled down into the valley and radioed the position of wounded men. Then helicopter dipped to earth and evacuated them before the deadly cold brought death.
 With late afternoon darkness there was lull in the mock strug- gles.
 Those who saw it hoped they would never have to witness such battle fought in earnest.

MARsHALL's WAR LEAK

One of the most significant things to watch regarding the State De- partment under General Marshall will be whether he continues Jim- mic Byrnes' policy of open diplo- macy.
 No Secretary of State since Charles Evans Hughes has been as frank with the press as Byrnes. Hughes handled all press confer ences himself, was a master at
