Rome Party Leaves
For Advanced Base
In Coast Exploration
By Comdr. Finn Rome

ROME ANTARCTIC BASE,
Marguerite Bay. Nov. 4 Delayed i.
-Comdr Finn Rome and his party
left this bese by air today for ad-
vanced exploration base at Capt
Keeler on the Weddell Sea Coast
Depending on the weather. the
miniature city which has sprung
up there soon will be moved by
air still farther south on the east
side of the Palmer Peninsula,
whence exploratory flights will fan
out to map the hitherto unexplored
sections of the Weddell Sea Coast
last stretch still unmapped around
this vast continent.
The weather has seriously delayed
the entire operation. For weeks,
overcast had kept the planes
grounded at the main base. Today's
clear weather was only momentary
but was Immediately seized upon
to get the two heavily loaded planes,
the Ed Sweeney" and the Mana"
off the ground. The weasel had
packed the snow on the runway,
but the heavy loads and the absence
of wind made several taxing runs
necessary.
Eventually Capt. James Lassiter
and Comdr. Rome left in the
Beechcraft Ed Sweeney" with full
load of gasoline and field equipment
as well as the three trimetrogon
aerial mapping cameras and $50
pounds of film. 1t Charles Adams
and Photographer William Latady
left in the Mana" with more gaso-
line and field equipment. Both
pilots had hoped to return to the
main base today. as they had yes
terday, to take on additional fuel
and cargo and to pick up Mechanic
James Robertson, but the overcast
closed In again as soon as the planes
had left. making additional landings
here today impossible.
Capt. Lassiter and 1t. Adams each
made round trip to Cape Keeler
yesterday, leaving Comdr. Isaac
Schlossbach there. The base al
ready has taken on considerable life,
they reported on their return. Nu-
merous small tentS~and igloos dot
the white surface of the area.
Before the pilots left yesterday the
joint British american sledge party
pulled into camp after their long
overland haul, They plan to leave
at midnight tonight for Cape
Knowles and Mount Tricorn. Navi-
gator Walter Smith will replace
Physicist Andrew Thompson in the
sledge party, continuing south with
Boy Scout Arthur Owen and the
two Britons.

lated to the $22 100000 contract for
three photo reconnaissance planes.
Originally this was a 100000 con-
tract for 100 planes. The static
model was delivered, the second
plane crashed and seriously injured
Mr.. Hughes year ago, and the
third is about to be delivered to the
Government.
The recommendation of the evalu-
alton board caused a prolonged ar
gument at yesterdays hearing. Mr..
Peterman and Mr.. Schwartz dis
agreed with earlier witnesses who
testified that other Air Force off,
cials and technical experts objected
to the $1,90O,00O allowance to the
Hughes company for work done on
the model type for the photo re-
connaisSance plane.
The 81 100000 has not been paid
to Mr.. Hughes. Senator Ferguson,
supported by testimony by 1t. Col.
S. F. Wogan, Air Force liason Off
Ger, declared that under terms of the
contract Mr.. Hughes would eventu-
ally get that allowance, whether or
not the original contract were can
celled.

plete story" Senator Ferguson de-
manded:
rs it your opinion that all of the
evidence is not being admitted?"
Yes, sir?"
do you think you are getting a
fair chance to tell all you know"
the chairman persisted
Yes, sir" the witness replied.
Later Senator Ferguson remarked
that I'VE have the full record" of
the Hughes operations and the rec
ord of these hearings will show we
have conducted them fairly"
Hughes Preparing Statement.
Mr.. Hughes said last night he
planned to spend the week end put
ting the finishing touches on long
statement he hopes to read to the
committee This, he said, will go
thoroughly into all his dealings with
the Government and will answer
testimony of earlier witnesses. He
declared that he had not even got
started" at the hearings last sum-
mer.
He took an active and often
audible part in the questioning yes
terday afternoon, although the COM
mittee refused his request that he
be allowed to take the stand before
some of the other witnesses testified.
He was obliged by committee
rule to submit questions in writing,
but frequently he broke in to elab-
crate. on his queries after Senator
Ferguson read them to witnesses.
Earlier in the day Senator Pepper,
Democrat of Florida, a member of
the fun Senate War Investigating
Committee, asked that Mr.. Hughes
be allowed to ross-examine wit
nesses. He declared Mr.. Hughes "is
for all practical purposes on trial" p"
Senator Ferguson rejected this re-
quest as being contrary to long
standing committee procedure.
Pepper Defends Principle.
Explaining that he spoke ION,
matter of principle" the Florida
Senator predicted that unless COM
mittees changed their procedures,
Congress itself would reform the
methods by making them conform to
the "Anglo-Saxon system and philo-
sophy of law"
At the close Of the all-day session
of the public hearings, which were
resumed last Wednesday following
recess since their abrupt adjourn
ment last August II. Senator Fergu-
son announced Mr.. Hughes was Ger
tain to be called some time during
the day Monday"
Meanwhile, he said, the subcom-
Evening star., 1947-11-09

mittee will decide whether at this
time to continue questioning OF Maj.
Gen. Bennett E. Meyers, retired Air
Force procurement chief.
Gen. Meyers denied last Friday
that he tried to borrow $50,O00 from
Mr.. Hughes in 1914 while active in
negotiations on a Hughes reconnals-
sance plane contract. He admitted
he asked Mr.. Hughes for a 10000
loan about six months ago, after he
had left the Army. He declared Mr..
Hughes in 1914 offered him post
war job and told him he could write
his own ticket as to salary.
Recess Threatened.
Yesterdays session got off to an
exciting start when Senator Fergu-
son threatened to recess until to-
morrow because nine witnesses, re-
quested Friday by Mr.. Hughes, were
not present when their names were
called.
Mr.. Hughes strobe in short time
later and sat down behind the wit
ness chair. Six of the nine proSpec-
tive witnesse appeared at about the
same time but only four testified.
Mr.. Hughes informed the subcom-
mittee he did not want two of the
witnesses to testify unless he were
permitted to testify first. The two
who did not testify were Hughes
company employees, Glen Odekirk
and John Jerman.
Besides Mr.. Fabian, those who
testified were:
Edo A. Peterman, former Air
Force colonel, who headed an ex-
pert board which in 1914 recon-
naended the Hughes company be
given a $1,909OOO payment on a
$3,600,0O0 claim for development
costs of an experimental model for
the reconnaissance plane.
Edward A. Schwartz, a former
lieutenant colonel who tested the
reconnaissance plane and said 1t
was IAN exceptional case" because
it showed no major failures. Mr..
Schwartz also was a member Of the
eyaluation board with Mr.. Peter
man.
John B. Parkinson. an official Of
the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics, who tested the hull
of the 2O0-ton Hughes flying boat
and declared it one of the best he
had ever seen. He described the
hull as representing q distinct ad-
vance in designs for flying boats. y
Flying Boat Tested.
The flying boat, on which the
Government has spent $18,0O0,000
and Mr.. Hughes another S7,600,0O0,
was flown for the first time for
short distance last Sunday by Mr..
Hughes at tests in California.

ers of war in Russia is being Con-
Quoted through the Free Germany"
committee of German army leaders
headed by Field Marshal Won Paulus,
captured commander of the illfated
siege of Stalingrad, the committee
report said.
THE Soviet government lends its
support to the German generals and
leaders Of the Moscow committee in
order to ensure Russo-German col
laboration and the reconstruction OF
q powerful Germany" it added.
Under the direction of the Won
Paulus committee, it continued, cap
tured German officers and enlisted
men are being trained for "the in
struction and command of guerilla
formations" in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Albania and for the formation
of the ranks of future Wehrmacht
for Germany itself"
with this aim in view" the re-
port said, "these German officers
are admitted to the course of the
following Soviet military academies
The Lenin Academy for Political
Warfare, the Military Engineering
High School at Kuibyshev, the
Molotov Academy for Economics, the
Dzherzhinski Artillery School, the
Russian Naval Academy. where the
German Admirals Saalwachter and
Witzell have been among the teach
ers, and various high schools for
aviation.
Reports coming from Central Eu-
rope and Scandinavia indicate that
besides the ranks of officers and
noncommisSioned officers entire
German divisions, recruited from
among the German prisoners OF war
in Germany, have been formed and
are now being trained.
These reports indicate that sew
eral dozens of divisions have been
formed by the Russians and that
they are concentrated in the area
of Lake Ladoga near Leningrad, OF
Minsk and in the Crimea. These
combined forces are. said to be un-
der the command of Marshal Won
Paulus and Generals Won Seydlitz
and Wagner"
Declaring that at the end of the
war there were at least 2,500, 900
German prisoners in Russia, the re-
port said Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov's report of last spring that
Russia then held only 100000 Ger
man prisoners was obviously un-
true"
"It therefore still remains to be
known where the missing 10000
prisoners are and how they are en-
ployed,' the report added.
Asking what reasons could Rus
sia have for reconstituting the
Germans Wehrmacht on her own
soil?" The committee gave this an
swer: ..~. .... .
TT Is obvious that in peacetime
the presence of Russian troops in
Germany would be unpopular.
Expeced to Woo Germany.
"It would certainly be greatly in
the interest of the Soviet govern
ment that order on German terri
tory should be maintained and q
Communist government, If one
should be maintained and Com
munist government, If one should be
formed, protected by German forces
devoted to Russia.
I'm the case of war with the West
ern powers such an army could pro
tect the communication lines of the
Soviet army. In addition. 1t is GER
tain that the appearance or regi-
ments of a reconstructed Wehrmacht
would create great enthusiasm
among the Germans, who remain
nationalists, and would be source
of gratitude toward Russia"
The committee contended that
Russia will take a new line in COM
Evening star., 1947-11-09

ing international conferences to
WOO Germany with an appeal to
the nationalist feelings Of the Ger
man people"
It predicted this Soviet policy
would include advocacy of unified
Germany, establishment OF a highly
centralized government, elections for
one parliament, and withdrawal OF
all forces of occupation.
The report, which was sent to top
ranking statesmen of the "ex-Allied
countries" declared a strong central
government in Berlin "less than 100
kilometers $50 niles from the new
frontiers of Poland Russia would be
almost directly under the influence
of Russia.
Dangerous Procedure Seen.
The report said that the war
material tested and constructed
jointly" by highly placed German
and Russian army officers and tech
nicians includes heavy and medium
tanks, antitank guns, .antiaircraft
guns, fast armored vehicles, aircraft
and aircraft engines; jet-propelled
aircraft and missiles, naval supplies
including submarines faster than
those developed by the United
States and Britain, and various
other types of military equipment.
It listed specific localities where
it claimed this research and manu-
featuring is taking place, and it
pointed out that the United States,
Britain and Francois well as Rus
sia-have been recruiting German
technicians for research in arms.
This" the report added, zap
pears to be a dangerous procedure
owing to the fact that it will per-
init Germany-one day reconstruct
ed-to be informed of the military
secrets of the four powers in spite
of the control of the military COM
missions in Germany
1t found no reason for mystery
over the collaboration of German
military leaders such as Gen. Wal
ther Won Seydlitz and Marshal Won
Paulus with Russia since the war
time formation of the Free Ger
many Committee"
Arms-Testing Sites Named.
"The fact is," declared the re-
port, that the chief aim of these
officers, prisoners of war, was and
still is to save from defeat both
Germany's power and the German
Wehrmacht.
It said that 1t followed a pattern
similar to that after the First
World War.
The committee reported that
work on aircraft and aircraft en-
gines was going on, among other
places" in the Russian sector OF
Berlin and at Dessau; that research
on jet-propelled aircraft was car
ried on at Halle south of Magdeburg
and near Goerlitz.
The committee said that it is 'es-
sential that the democracies should
make the world aware of the fact
that they represent the interna-
tional force of liberty. Only II
the democracies remain closely
united will they succeed in ensuring
the victory of these principles in
side their countries and outside"

WINTER FEEDING AFFECTS SUMMER GAINS

Summer gains made by yearng steers grass vary with
the amount of gain made during the previous winter ac
cordng to new data reported by the Oklahoma Agrcu-
tural Experiment Station.
The experiments conducted by the Department of
Animal Husbandry there designed to find an answer
to this question, How much should calves gain during
the following summer"
Six lots OF choice calves used in the test They
were led TO gain at three different rateshgh 3 pounds
per head daiyj medium about pound per head daly)
and low about u to q of pound per head daily.
The report of the experiments indicates ~ that steer
calves which gained at the medium TO low rates made the
most economical of grass during the early part of the
grazing season. 2) that combined profits from winterng
ana eary-season grazing in favor of the lots win
tered st medium and low rates Of GAIN (3 that of four
lots OF steers which continued grass during late
summer and early fall the which had been fed al the

Social Security Asks
Extended COverage

The Social Security Administers
ton has recommended revision of
the law to provide protection fw'
all workers regardless of occupa-
ton. When farm or domestic
worker, or an employee of any
non-profit institution or self
employed person reaches age 65,
and wishes to retire, he or she is
faced with the fact that under the
present law no Old-Age Insurance
benefits can be expected. If one of
them should die there will be no in
surance payments from the Gov
eminent for his survivors. The So
cial Security Administration thinks
the law should be changed so that
everyone who works long enough
to Justify social insurance pay
ments, may claim benefits at the
appropriate time.
