Rome 5 Expedition
Moves 10 Shore Base;
-Four Remain on Ship
BY comdr. Finn Rome

sTONINGTON ISLAND, Mar
guerite Bay. Antarctica, May
fNANA) Delayed. - Keeping q
ship In the Antarctic during an ex-
pedition here is much like operat-
ing two bases. Early in the transi-
ton period-transferring from ship
. base to shore base-we kept. only
two men ashore at our site on
Stonington Island. These men,
Chief Pilot Harry Darlington and
Aerial Photographer william La
tady, spent most OF their time TAX
ing care of the expeditions sled
dogs and keeping fires going in
the various buildings to dry them
out.
Parties from the port OF Beau
mont went ashore daily to ac-
complish the tasks involved In set
ting up base. They worked on
buildings and cleared the area. But
frequently-as often as three times
. week-strong winds or moving
brash Ice made 1t impossible for
the ship party to get to the beach.
During these periods communica-
ton between the two groups was
by scheduled walkie- -talkie trans
mission.
As larger work items were COM
pleted on shore. more and more
men were transferred from the ship.
And now that the ship is starting
to freeze in, we are moving ashore
the members of the crew who al
ways had to stand by because Of
the danger Of any sudden move
ment OF large iceberg toward US
or the dragging Of our anchor in
q high wind. This emergency crew
has several times been called on
to get the ship under way quickly.
OF our "a personnel, the shore
base now has II and six more are
going. During the freezein, we
will leave only four men aboard,
and these will come ashore as soon
as the ship is fast In the Ice.
One Of the most important Of
our shore installations Is rapidly
nearing completion. Under the di-
rection of our hard-working radio
operator, Lawrence Kelsey, erection
of rhombic antennas for the shore
radio station will be concluded In
a few days. All hands are looking
forward to this expanded radio link,
which will be our contact with the
outside world during the long
winter.

Health Officer, said yesterday that
many of the department, 50 regula-
tions were simply reaffirmed by the
Commissioners, but one other
change in regulations shortens the
quarantine period for persons hav-
ing scarlet fever.
The Health Department felt it
had sufficient authority to deal with
communicable diseases until about
a year ago when person who was
believed to have a communicable
disease resisted Health Department
efforts to examine him. In court
case the decision went against
health authorities and they asked
the Commissioners to strengthen

President Is Reported

ION Senate Labor Bill
HY tha Assoeiufed Press

A Democratic Congressional off,
|cial said yesterday President Tru-
man has told party legislative lieu
tenants he would veto the labor bill
as passed by the House but is leav-
ing the gate ajar for possible APP
proval of a milder version now be-
fore the Senate.
The Presidents reported view that
1t may be possible to work out legis-
1ation he could accept apparently
has spurred Senate Democratic
leaders in fighting amendments
which Mr.. Truman obviously regards
as too stringent.
In this effort. however, they were
said to have no advance commitment
that the President will take measure
even in the form In which the
Senate Labor Committee put it. That
form already has been toughenec
by the Senate,s so to % adoption
lot an amendment forbidding uhior
coercion of workers in their choice
|of bargaining representatives.
Compromise Efforts Awaited.
The President was described as
having said merely that while his
mind was made up against the
House bill, he could not pass in
advance on individual sections OF
the Senate bill and obviously could
make no final decision until he sees
what comes out of compromise
efforts between the House and
Senate.
A Republican-De Democratic group
bent on putting more teeth in the
labor bill mustered enough votes on
the coercion amendment to over
ride a veto but senators disagreed
on whether this lineup would hold.
Senator Taft, Republican of Ohio,
chief proponent of what he calls
strengthening amendments, told a
reporter the vote indicates to him
that the same two-thirds margin can
be rallied for passage.
He conceded that two other pend
ing proposals are likely to attract
less support. These would restrict
industry wide bargaining and pro-
hibit union controlled welfare funds.
But despite a possible 10-vote drop
in support for these two amend
ments from the peak Of go reached
on the coercion proposal, Senator
Taft said he believes the count will
climb back upward on final passage,
IT think we will get some of the
votes there of Senators who may
have opposed some of the amend
ments but who want to see some
labor legislation become law" he
said.
He acknowledged, however, that il
might be more difficult to get two
thirds to override veto in the face
of prospective Democratic appeals
to party members to uphold the
President.

In spite Of little splashes Of rain
that caused the audience to hurry
to shelter from time to time, the
National Symphony played its full
program at the Water Gate last
night. The threat Of bad weather
that hung in the sky all afternoon
undoubtedly kept many away, but
a fairly representative group came,
stayed to the end and thoroughly
enjoyed the performance. The un-
certainty Of just how a concert eve
ming Is going to turn out Is part
Of the fun Of going to the Water
Gate. Management, orchestra mem
bers and audience take the same
chance but with much more worry
and discomfort on the part of
those who follow the tradition, THE
show must 60 on"
With the exception Of cut in in
termission time to Ave minutes and
an announcement by the manager,
J. E. Mutch, that as much of the
program as possible would be played,
the concert did go on. In fact, 1t
seemed as If Mr.. Mutch's defiance
discouraged the storm imps for the
rain petered out, people came out
from their refuge under bridge and
overpass and all was serene again.
