 CRASHES IN
 ANTARCTIC
New HeIilopfer in Accident on Takeoff-AII Aboard
 Rescued, Uninjured

ABOARD U.S.S. MT. OLYMPUS, LITTLE AMERICA, Jan. 22.-(De- layed) A new helicopter of the Antarctic expedition crashed into the Pacific Ocean today on take off from the carrier Philippine Sea but all aboard were rescued unin- jured, Admiral Cruzen announced.
 (NameS or number of the res cued men were not reported, but it is presumed the helicopter was of the usual two-seater type used for survey flightsD
 The helicopter was the third plane lost by this expedition. The first was a PBM Mariner which crashed with three fatalities Dec. 30. The second was wheeled helicopter from the Pine Island of the Eastern group, which was lost Sunday because it's rotors become iced. Its two occupants were res cued.
 The wheeled helicopter lost today was starting a reconnaissance flight in good weather when it suddenly went overside from the carrier. Admiral Cruzen said he had no oe- tails. Cruzen, in a busy news con- ference, also announced it was con- sidered too hazardous to try to re- cover the bodies of the three men killed in the PBM crash on Icy James Ellsworth coast. He said one or two families had requested the bodies be returned for burial.
 Six men. injured, survived that crash.
 Cruzen also said he had been in touch with Admiral Byrd aboard the Philippine Sea, still TOO miles away, and that it might be neces- sary for the Central group to leave Little America much earlier than planned.

WASHINGTON = At the exact moment President Truman's tight rope walking Secretary of War Bob Patterson was refusing to help be- leagured Gov. Ellis Arnall of GeOr- gia, President Truman himself was blasting Arnall's chief foe, the Ku Klux Klan.
 Truman's blast took place at the first meeting of his Committee on Civil Rights, organized to combat bigotry and race prejudice. The President talked straight-from-the- shoulder and the churchmen, busi- ressmen and educators who com prise his committee were greatly impressed.
 LiveSt member of the new com mittee turned out to be Charles Luckman, head of the giant Lever Brothers Soap Company. Dullest was Charles E Wilson, pontifical head of General Electric Appointed Chairman of the civil rights group because he knew Truman back in the days of the old Truman Com mittee, Wilson seemed more en- grossed in details than in big ob- Ectives
 New York attorney Morris Ernst, author of ''The Four Freedoms, caused a buzz of discussion at the closed door meeting when he pro- posed:
 Why not invite the Ku Klux Klan, the Columbians and Gerald L. K. Smith to give us their views on racial prejudice also. There is no reason why we should shut our ears and hear only one side. Our

SCARE IS THROWN BY DEMOCRATS lh RANKS OF G0pERS
Republican Plan 0nIyWins Out by Two Votes on
 Senate Vote

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Senate Democrats who came within two votes of upsetting Republican plans in the 80th Congress first test, posted notice today that they will have their big artillery ready for future COP proposals.
 Senator Lucas of Illinois, the minority whip, said yesterdays AT to 45 vote by which the Repub licans beat off an attempt to scuttle the Brewster war investigat- ing committee is merely sample of a new sort of Democratic unity.
 We lost, but We showed the Re- puhlicans they have to watch their step on what they propose" Lucas told a reporter
 GOPers Not Worried But Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the majority whip retorted that the Republicans aren't particular ly worried. He noted the final tally was 49 to 43 to keep the Brewster committee in operation, after the previous closer vote had defeated an attempt to turn over all war fraud inquiries to the ex- penditures committee.
 T think the Democrats have reached their peak and l doubt that they'll ever again be able to line up as many of their own members or get as much Republican sup port" Wherry said.
 The chief job of the two whips Lucas and Wherry-is to try to keep their party lines intact on major issues.
 Wider Victory F0recast
 Wherry forecast a much wider victory margin for resolution now before the Senate to authorize an eight months investigation of small business by special com mittee which the Nebraskan will head
 A vote on this issue is set for late Friday and Democrats concede they probably will lcse again even though Senator Tobey CR-N), also is seeking to kill off the special group. Tobey favors turning it's chores over to the banking com mittee which he heads.
 Chairman Taft tOhio) of the COP steering committee agreed with Waerry that the sailing looks smooth for the small business group, but he told a newsman that there is rough water ahead for any other special committee that may be proposed.
 Plans of House
 Across the capitol, House Speaker Martin tR-Mass) told a reporter that as much as possible inyesti- gaticns in his chamber will be made by regular committees and that the general policy will be to discourage special groups.
 The Republican organization leaked at some of it's seams in yes terday's Senate vote. It lost the support of Senator Aiken of Yer mont, Cooper of Tennessee, Morse of Oregon and Tobey on the AT to 45 test
 Senator Reed tR-KanD, who was present. didn't vote because he had made an advance agreement with Senator Wagner (D-NY), under which neither votes when the other is absent.
 As it was, the Democrats, out numbered 5l to A, lost only Sen ator O'Daniel of Texas from the of tba;r ,,artv members pres

FORMER CONGRESSMAN MAY INDICTED
Right BafiIe Cry for
 Areiit Soldiers, What He Wears, Is Now Told
By CLARK BEACH

WITH TASK FORCE F'RIGID. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 23 - "What'll I wear2 seems to be the right battle cry for the Arctic sol- dier.
 Putting on and taking off cloth ing, choosing the right things to wear and keeping your clothes dry by never perspiring this all takes up a large fraction of your Arctic day.
 You get up at T am, an hour and a half before sunrise. Before you go to the shack next door to wash up. you must get fully dressed, because it's a dash across ice and snow through air that's 30 to 40 degrees below zero.
 Here's Wardrobe
 Here's your wardrobe aftel you've slid into the long woolen un- dies, you pile on four layers of sock. and two trousers. light wool socks heavy ski socks, thick felt socks wool trousers and cotton outer trousers.
 Over these you pull your muk- luks, with two felt inner soles These white canvas combination shoes and leggings are laced up tc the knees.
 Now you're ready for a wooler shirt or two, depending on thf weather. Then a sweater. Then g thick pile parka. On top of that ai outer cloth parka, both with dozens of buttons.
 Aboard Cavalcade
 Yesterday we boarded a caval- cade Of weasels and jeeps Weascls are kind of track laying jeer which runs fine on ice but pitch and toss over the rifts and ruts like small boat.
 We went to the Panama River which has ice four feet thick. The heaviest vehicles can run on it al- most anywhere, but to strengthen it and preserve the ice in the spring, the Army engineers have made an ice bridge of laminated logs locked together with ice from water pumped from the river.
 Buddy System"
 Then ran 40 ton tanks across the bridge and tried out signal flares. We stood around and watched one another's faces for signs of freez- ing. The Army tells you to use a buddy system up here. Look after one another. Never venture away from camp alone.
 It was relatively warm today, up to 20 degrees below zero. Yet eye brows and mustaches froze before the day was over.
 The cavalcade next went to an encampment where small arms and machine guns were tested It was curios to see the hammer of the 45 automatic pistol so slowed down by ice that it wouldn't explode the cap.
 After that We travelled through forests of snow laden evergreens, with ice fog from the exhausts so thick you could hardly see the weasel ahead, to another part of the river where anti-aircraft guns were fired. The snow bounced and vihrated with the shock.

St. Louis Catholics Get
Petition On Race Issue

st. Louisa petition will be Cir
culated to determine how many
St. Louis Catholics oppose the
admission of Negroes to white
Catholic schools, Chairman John
p. Barrett of the Catholic Par
ents' Association said last week
He said the group passed a reso-
luton calling for the petition, to
be offered to all Catholics for
their signatures, in an effort to
learn how much opposition exists
to recent order by Archbishop
Joseph f. Ritter,
The Archbishop, who ordered
that Negroes be admitted to white
schools if their own schools were
overcrowded, has warned the
group that it faces excommunica-
ton if it resorts to civil action
His warning was read in all
churches September 81 after re-
ports circulated that the Parents
group might seek an Injunction.
After the pastoral letter was read,
the group sent a letter to the
Apostle delegate in Washington
asking him to intercedc for an
audience with the Archbishop and
for an opinion on whether their
actions subjected them TO excom-
munication.
In the letter to Washington,
Barrett set forth that he had made
repeated efforts to see the Arch
bishop or "a designated authority"
but was unsuccessful. Barrett
wrote, "The calculated indiffer-
ence of the Archbishop caused
feeling to run high" and "incensed
the parents,
Barrett asked for intercession
for an audience with the Arch
bishop since we feel that this is
sue may be handled locally,

TEXAS UNIVERSITY UNDER F|R[
FOR REFUSAL TO ADMIT NEGRO
Appeal Filed In Case
Against Tex. Law School

On October |, NAACP attorneys
for Heman Marion Sweat filed
their brief on appeal in the case
against the University of Texas;
in which Sweat is seeking en-
trance to the law school.
The brief for Sweat in the
Court of Civil Appeals is based
on three main points; Cd there is
no rational basis for racial CLASH
fication for school purposes; CD
public schools, separate but e.
quail in theory are in fact and in
practical administration eonsis-
tently unequal and discriminatory;
80 it is impossible to have the
equality required by the Four
teenth Amendment in a public
school system which rAegates citi-
zens Of disadvantage racial
minority group to separate
schools.
The brief contains not only le-
gal authorities but a carefully as
sembled group of recognized au-
thorities as recorded in scientific
journals, both legal. sociological
and economic, and it concludes
that:
"Appe liant has conclusively
proved that the right to equal
protection guaranteed him under
the Fourteenth Amendment can
only be secured by his admission
forthwith to the University of
Texas school of law. 1t has been
clearly established herein both by
appellant and appeilees that the
equal but separate doctrine on
which the constitutional and sta.
