ment ambulances from outlying
police precincts instead of from the

day. Harriet Winslow, 16, of Is
East Lenox street, Chevy Chase,
Md, was killed and her companion,
Charles l.. Goodrich, 49,, of 4344
Forest lane NV, was seriously in
jured when their car collided with
a bus.
Although ambulances were i'm
mediately called, more than 20
minutes passed before one arrived
from Emergency Hospital and an
other from the Health Department.
Young Goodrich was reported i'm
proving last night. He Is suffering
from cuts and bruises, blow on

idea of decentralization was good
in theory, the question of getting

clear skies.
Goal 20 Flights Over Pole.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
radioed early Saturday that thu
long-range aerial Photographic as
sault on the unknown continent
is going full blast" adding that
additional flights are standing-by
to continue essential missions as
rapidly as maintenance can be
handled.
The weather mans promise of
favoring skies gave new hope that
Admiral Byrd's small but well-knit
air operations force yet can meet
the requirement of % flights over
the pole, laid down by Washington
before the tentative evacuation
deadline of March /.
So far, six missions have been
completed, the last two planes re-
turning to the base just after mid
night.
Both the Eastern and Western
task groups were held to their sea-
plane operations bases by adverse
weather.
At Little America, meantime, the
mercury dropped to seven below
which is the lowest temperature
recorded at the historic base on this
trip. The sudden cold snap, how
ever, kept the skies clear and winds,
which create binding snow f1urries,
were at minimum.
Tractors Continue Drive.
Some SIS miles due east of Little
America, Capt. Vernon Boyd's color
full mechanical trail caravan re-
ported "all's we'll and tractors con-
tinued their drive toward the goal
which still was some 345 miles
away.
Capt. Boyd's force is providing a
constant weather check by radio
for Admirars Byrd's operations.
With the ice-breaker North
wind" in the McMurdo Sound area,
Capt. Boyd probing into the conti-
nent, and both the Eastern and
Western forces radioing hourly re-
ports-supplemented by japanese
advices-Admiral Byrd Is operating
with weather intelligence unprece-
dented in the history of either pole
The value of this intelligence is
reflected in the scope of the opera
tions.

WITH THE BYRD EXPEDITION
ABOARD U. S. S. MT. OLYMPUS,
Feb. Is P).-Capt. George Dufek
today took his second swim" in
as many weeks in the frigid Ant
arctic waters.
Capt. Dufek-from Rockford, ILL.,,
and commander of the Eastern Air
Wing group of the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition - was transferring his
command to the destroyer Brown
son when the mishap occurred.
The veteran polar aviator was in
breeches- buoy. strung between
the warship and his flagsnip-sea-
plane tender, when a heavy roll in
the rough seas snapped the line.
Capt. Dufek plunged into the icy
waters where, by quick thinking,
he managed to extricate himself
from the bulky breeches-buoy and
inflated his Mae West" life jacket.
Prompt action on the part of the
destroyer crew, which lowered a
whaleboat in record time, undoubt-
edly saved the naval leaders life.
In Helicopter Crash.
AS it was the captain was in the
water for eight minutes. Previously,
personnel exposed to icy polar
waters have been known to perish
after 10 minutes exposure.
Only a couple of weeks ago,
Capt. Dufek had his initial Antarc-
tic swim when a helicopter in
which he was flying nosed into
the water.
In both instances, he suffered
only minor injuries and exposure,
which was cured by long hot
showers.
Capt. Dufek, however, does not
recommend the Antarctic as the
locale for polar bear club" swims
