found no break. This chain ap-
parently is a major link in a still
vaster range which may prove the
greatest in the world.
"It was like going to another world
in a rocket ship" said the flight
lieutenants.
The newly discovered range is be-
lieved to be the western extremity Of
the Andes, proving the Pacific Ocean
actually is a basin entirely surround
ed by a great mountain wall from
Alaska to Kamchatka. Beyond these
mountains lies mysterious Enderby
Land, supposedly a 3-mile high pla-
teau extending toward the South
Pole.
But this walled ice sea obviously
was the lair of the spirit of the Ant
arctic winter at its worst and it was
obvious that no other flights would
be possible this year. The Currituck
and attending ships turned, then, on
the first lap of the long voyage
home.
These new mountains were inter-

meeting of mountain and sea. At the

row land shelf in front of gigantic
lice precipices.
The region between the Eastern
and Western groups of the now
retiring expedition was Hitler's
dream of an Antarctic empire,
Schwabenland. This area, 100000
square miles dotted with glaciers,
mountains, lakes and islands, pre-
sumably have been named for Nazi
officials and their sweethearts.
The German claim was based on
one of the most efficient exploring
jobs ever done in the Antarctic, the
Schwabia Expedition in 1899, just be-
fore the outbreak of World War II.
One Of the last exploratory flights
to be made by expedition pilots was
over one of the most remarkable
Antarctic areas, Ingrid Christensen
Coast. This coastline is ice free for
65 miles, with numerous fresh
water green lakes. This area, a
practically unexplored region, is the
most habitable part of Antarctica,
but is now occupied only by many
thousands of seals and penguins.
Meanwhile, central group planes
based on the Bay of Whales, ended
their schedules with long flights over
an unexplored confusion of jagged,
snoW-covered peaks which stretch
westward from McMurdo Sound
toward the continents interior. Last
week, one plane flew for an hour at
an elevation of $4,000 feet over the
crest of a single mountain range for
300 miles.
These hitherto unknown noun
tainS sometimes raised their sum-
mits higher than the plane. Among
the planes discoveries was a frozen
super Niagara, a glacier which spills
over a mountain cliff and is sus-
pended straight downward for
nearly $500 feet.
The red color Of the mountains
indicated the presence of iron.

officials in the s170, 100000 United
Jewish Appeal campaign, headed by
former Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau conferred with Presi-
dent Truman today. The Nation
wide drive was set in motion here
yesterday.
The Jewish leaders discussed with
the President the needs and prob
.ems Of about 100000 Jews of Eu-
rope. Funds collected this year will
be used in the relief, rehabilitation
and resettlement of these people on
the continent.
Mr.. Morgenthau is general chair
man of the drive, which its sponsors
claim is the largest private fund
campaign ever launched in this
country. Others who met with Mr.
Truman were Herbert H. Lehman
former director general of UNRRA;
Rabbi Israel Goldstein, William
Rosenwald and Rabbi Jonah B
Wise of New York, national chair
man of the appeal.
The White House later issued a
brief statement saying that "the
President heard with interest the
statement of the leaders of the
United Jewish Appeal and expressed
high commendation on their work
for the relief of human suffering.
Eisenhower Opens Campaign.
Gen. Eisenhower addressed a
group of $50 Jewish leaders at the
Shoreham Hotel yesterday, marking
the formal opening of the campaign
The Army chief of staff said
the drive may help us realize there
can be no security for one unless
1t is enjoyed by all; that though
force can protect in emergency,
only justice, fairness, consideration
and cooperation can finally lead
men to the dawn of eternal peace.
One of the privileges of the United
States. he continued, "has been its
opportunities for us to share with
those less fortunate. And the bread
cast upon the waters has been re-
turned in blessings hundredfold. y
your success" he continued, will
add impetus to the moral regenera-
ton needed to Danish from the
world these evils that have dark
ened the way to peace among men.

day that number of large gifts
had been received during the first

Peoria, ILL.,, 100000, and Mark Su-
garman Coatesville, Pa. 100000.
Mr.. Lehman, who shared the plat
form with Gen. Eisenhower, urged
the admission this year of 100000
homeless European Jews to Pales-
tine and another 100000 to the
United States and Latin American
countries.
The former UNRRA chief said
these measures would be the only
solution of the problem of wide
spread homelessness in Europe.

Little White House
Treasures Are Moved
For Building Repair

WARM SPRINGS, Ga (W.D)-
All furnishings of the Little White
House here-including the easy
chair in which President Rose
welt was stricken and the ped In
which he died April II, 1915
have been moved to Atlanta
while the simple, white frame
cottage is being ova+ed.
The removal included every
thing in the building-Mr. Roose-
velt's famous revolving work
table," his ship models and
countless gifts from admirers
who knew of his love for all
things pertaining to the sea.
Each item of furnishings, all
valued at more than 100000,
was carefully marked and catal-
ogued before being moved to
Atlanta, where it has been stored
in private fireprcof room of a
storage company warehouse.
Mr.. Roosevelt's wishes for
simplicity at the Little White
House during his lifetime will be
carried out in the renovation.
Workmen will make the building
as completely fireproof as pos
sible, strengthen floors for mass
visitation when the house is
opened to the public early next
year, convert the heating system
from coal to oil and build a new,
wider oval driveway in front.
In addition. a new $22 900 ad-
ministr ration building will be
erected on the grounds, a small
frame affair with public comfort
facilities, showers for guards, a
reception room and a souvenir
stand. When the furnishings are
brought back from storage, each
item will be fastened down with
wire and steel rods to thwart
souvenir hunters.

Jacksonville Churches
Unite In Mass Meeting
For Thanksgiving Day

JACKSONVILLE Nov. o.
The protestant churches of jack
sonville this morning met in one
mass cation for a special
Thanksgiving Day service.
The meeting was at the Metho-
dist church.
Rev. L. Grady Burgess, pastor
of the Baptist church, delivered
the sermon. Rev. L. L. Parrish,
host minister, opened the serv-
ice and introduced the speaker.
Rev. Frank B. Craig, Presbyter-
ian pastor led in opening prayer.
Using the theme that we
should be thankful for all things,
large and small, Rev. Mr.. Bur-
giss for thirty-seven minutes
kept the congregation complete
ly enthralled.
He struck a direct note of
warning when he brought out
that four fifths of the people in
the world today are suffering
from hunger, while we live in
plenty and that we should be ex-
tremely careful that no one
ever takes from us all these
wonderful, natural and man
made gifts we have.
He said that Americans
should protect themselves and
their rights to heaven by giving
generously to the oppressed of
the world. Mrs. Howard Graham
rendered a vocal solo.

Hawkins Ball Toting
Holds Navy's Hopes
For Duke Victory
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 10.-Every
one in the Navy camp will be
happy if some other backs start
adding up the yardage, but most
followers of middle football still ex-
pect the offensive load to remain on
Bill Hawkins wide shoulders.
The 20-year-old Richmond (Va.)
fullback has been practically alone
in moving the ball around for Navy
in it's two, outings this season and
he'll be the man Duke gridders have
their eyes on at Baltimore stadium
when the two teams resume their
feud tomorrow.
Coach Tom Hamilton calls HaW-
kins top-notch ball carrier and
was pleased to note today that he's
just about the East's leading ground
gamer so far. In 81 trips with the
ball, Hawkins has advanced 204
yards, an average of 6.6 per effort.
His 55-yard Sally for Navy's lone
touchdown in losing to Columbia
last week was the most spectacular
exploit, but the 198-pound bruiser
has been a consistent gamer in
punches at the line.
He has rallied considerably from
a fumbling fever that plagued him
last year, and also has come around
nicely as a defensive back. For the
secondary chores, however, Hamilton
sends in Myron Gerber much of the
time at fullback to save Hawkins
for offense.
Hamilton and his coaching lieu
tenants have been stressing diver
sified game this week and running
the varsity against Duke formations.

Experts Rate Virginia,
Harvard Even With
High Score Seen
SpecioI pispoich 10 The Sior

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Oct. 10.
-Doped by experts as high-scor-
ing battle of explosive offenses.
Virginia and Harvard will enter to-
morrows game on virtual even
terms with break" liable to de-
eide the outcome.
The Crimson, making one Of its
rare appearances south of the Ma
son-Dixon Line, bowled over West
ern Maryland in its debut, $40, and
followed with 1914 decision over
fighting Boston U. eleven. Vir-
ginia romped through Virginia Tech,
All, and routed George Washing
ton, 1918. Thus the stage is set
for what shapes up as free-scoring
duel with plenty of excitement.
Harvard, accompanied by its 10o-
piece band, was due here today in
time for a workout at the stadium.
The Cambridge delegation was re-
portedjn good shape. Ken ODonnel,
a fleet, 1B0- pound quarterback; Jim
Kenary, l80-pound passing specialist;
Chip Cannon, a smart breakaway ball
carrier, and Capt. Vince Moravec,
200-pound fullback, probably will
bear the brunt of Harvard's offense.
Virginia's line will have slight
edge in weight, averaging over 200
pounds. The backfield is expected
to be unchanged from last week
when Joe McCary called signals.
Bruce Bailey and Bill Pennel held
down the halfback posts, and Grover
Jones played fullback.
A capacity crowd of $4,000 is ex-
pected for the game, starting at
3 pm. Two thousand general ADJ
mission tickets will be placed on sale
tomorrow but the rest of the stadium
is sold out.

how their pass defense is set up, or

It might be noted that a seat on
the players bench is about the
worst in a stadium to watch foot
ball game. Coaches often occupy
space in the press box and coach
their team via field phones to aides
on the bench.
The Don coach has another prob
