Even Huskies Suffer
On Tough Trail Trip
OF Rome Biologists
By Comdr. Finn Rome
North Am.rieon Newspaper Alliance


RONNE BASE, Marguerite Bay,
Antartica, Dec. 81 Delayed On
December 26, DR.. Robert L. Nichols,
head of the geology department at
Tufts College, and Robert Dodson,
graduate of Harvard, returned to
this base from geological sledging
| trip to Alexander Island. They had
been 80 days in the field.
The geologists had Is malemutes
and Siberian huskies and two
| sledges on which there was more
than 1900 pounds of man food and
dog food, fuel and scientific equip
ment. Four man and dogfood
caches were laid on the way out, to
be utilized by the party on their
return journey.
Prancer, oldest of the IS hearty
dogs, pulled along with his COM
panions to his very last, but after
eight days Of strenuous work, he
died from the rigors Of the trail.
They hated to leave Prancer be-
hind and with deep regret built him
snow-beacon grave, marking it
with small wooden cross.
At this time the party was ex-
! periencing a week of the worst and
hardest conditions of the whole
trip. The temperature dropped to
35 degrees below zero. Travel was
painfully slow and relaying was
necessary because of deep, freshly
fallen snow, brash fields, and ice
berg masses.
The distance travelled in one
eight-hour day was pitifully short
because, under such bad surface
conditions, the. dogs would tire
easily with their heavy loads. AS
soon as they gave indications of
great weariness the geologists were
forced to stop and camp to give
the dogs rest until the next day.
One night last week, when the
geologists were holed up near the
penguin rookery on their return
journey, the dogs started barking.
Mr.. Dodson looked out of the tent
opening and noticed none of the
dogs was loose and, as the barking
had stopped, he crawled back into
his sleeping bag thanking his lucky
stars that he didn't have to get out
of the tent to put loose dog back
on the tethering line.
When they got out of the tent in
the morning there were a lot of
black and white feathers lying on
the snow, the dogs wore satisfied
expressions and the men surmised
that one and possibly two penguins
had gone to meet their maker.

Mr. Cannon told reporters he
wants first-hand reports from Con-

spending programs. He added that
he also wants to hear the views of
President Truman, Secretary of
State Marshall and our military
leaders.
One of the first requests likely to
confront the new Democratic-con-
trolled Congress will be to provide
$3.50 100000 to keep the Marshall

Congress also will be confronted
with proposals to refinance the Eu-

u. S. Fencer Could
Surprise Europeans
At Olympic Games
By ED CORRIGAN
AP NeWsfeatures

NE w ARK, N. J. - Europeans
who have held a monopoly on o.
lympic fencing hOnOrs down
through the ages, may be in for a
surprise at this years festiVal-all
because Gerald CentrulO arrived in
! the United States from Italy in
/ the 18th century.
The Centrulo family, whose name
has become synonymous with fenc-
ing in this country, will be repre-
sented in London by Dean, one of
Gerald's sons. He will shoot for ton
hOnOrs in both the foil and sabre
events. He % the national sabre
champion and runner-up in the
/ fOils competition.
/ Gerald, whose name means
1 "Wielder of the sword" became the
first United States professional
titlist in 1906.
7 He introduced the American sys-
tenn to the fencing world. The style
takes the best parts of the Italian
method, which is concerned with
the scientific principal of the blade,
and the French node, which deals
more with body LOV ement. All that
may sound pretty high f6lutin', but
fencing is a scientific sport.
Centrulo also brought about the
| development o. the American foil
mold, which, Without going inrO
technicalities is completely differ
ent from that used by the Europe
ans. 1t probably will be used by
members of the United States team.
OF CentrulO's four sons, all of
whom achieved prominence in the
fencing world, Dean, the youngest,
is best known. When he took run
ner-up hOnOrs in the fOils in the
nationals this year, he came within
a Whisker of winning the title. Had
he done so, he would have been the
first fenCer in history to win both
sabre and fOils.
Dean grabbed off the national in
terschOlastiC championship and
then became the youngest swords
man-and the first collegian-tO

While at Seton Hall College he won

swept to an effortless victory,
polishing off 21 adversaries without

dropped two matches to take sec

Lubell dropped only one match
to CentrulO by so.
Dean, who has been termed the
best fencer ever produced in the
United States" by GiOrgiO Santeili,
cO-cOach of the US Olympic Team,
won't make any predictions as to
the outcome of the games. He says

EEE0.
By Charles L. EgenrOad

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Dear AL
ben Senator Alben w. Barkley
that isl:
Washington Week heard your
stirring, if somewhat incomplete
Keynote address Monday night
Since you mentioned that time did
not permit you to elucidate all OF
the points of the New Deal, we feel
inclined to make this column avail
able for that purpose.
Naturally, you claimed the prais-
es for the New Deal and voiced the
criticisms of the Republicans. No
one expected otherwise.
However, it was probably the
lack of time, since you had Oniy
one hour and 13 minutes to speak,
which prompted your rapid survey
OF the international situation as a
mess being administered in a biz
partisan manner through the
efforts of the Republican Congress-.
What you did not have time TO
say was that the mess started at
Yalta, Cairo, Teheran, POtsdam and
a few other places where the New
Deal sat ALONE and wrote and
signed agreements which today are
the cause Of the International mess.
You hope to make this appear as a
bipartisan mess.
So partisan were the Allied
agreement conferences that it was
necessary to FORCE from Presi-
dent Truman by Senate Resolution
No. 213 report of the agreements
which he claimed Russia was viola
ting.
This report of the violations was
filed last June 2, and we not with
interest that Mr.. Truman. who sat
In the final conference at Potsdam
without advantage of bipartisan ali
Dl, does not accuse the Russians of
Violation of the rights to a corridor
into Berlin.
You see, Dear Alben, the whole
International scheme of the New
Deal only became a bipartisan pro-
position AFTER it became a mess.
Another item or two you did not
have time to clarity: that the New
Deal still had II million unemplOv-
ed after eight years of breathing
into the nOstrils of industry: that
the national debt was far from
wholly inherited from the war:
that a couple of the best recovery
ideas Of which you bOasted were
Republican ideas, and that it was
Truman who vetoed the tax-reduc-
ton and Taft-Hartley bills.
1t was obvious that your hour
and l3 minutes was all too insufic-
lent, Dear Alben, like you say. At
the finish, you had covered only
the records of the two Presidents
who last led us into hateful war.
plus the single casual mention bv
name Of the current President and
political isSue-a Mr.. Truman.
Why, bless you, Dear Alben. that
hour and 13 minutes was only an
Introduction, wasn't it?
Sincerely,

Jumping GIs

ETTAL, Germany - Bushy-
brOWed Father Paul of the world
famed Ettal Monastery says Ameri-
cans Jump about like canaries in

The 71-year-old Benedictine
monk ought to know. He has guild
ed more than $4,000 Americans

his slang well. He calls all Ameri-

When the first GIs came to our
monastery in 1945 they behaved
like childish, but well trained
colts" he says. ''They even jumped
over the rope we had in front of
our church altar.
Since their women have shown
up they've become more subdued.
No one jumps over the rope any
more"
The way the Benedictine monk
said it you got the feeling he was
almost sorry for the change. He
hnds the youthful Americans a well

slow moving German youngsters
who study at the monastery.

American guests they're in too
much of a hurry. He points to the
beautifully painted church dome
and the hand-carVed marble fig
ures. Il could spend two hours de-
scribing all this, but none of you
could waste so much time"
He likes American women "very
much" They have such serious
and piOus faces when sitting in nv

whatever they are. When they sit
