Rickey Byrd's Antarctic Dog,
Is Buried With Military Honors

hours on patrol missions and even
took an impromptu trip on sub
marine.
When Hickey died in Comdr. Dus-
tins apartment at 1885 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV. May 13, the off,
Ger, who was in Paris at the time
advising members of a projected
French Polar expedition, received a
cablegram from his wife. Soon aft
erwards, telephone Gals. letters and
kilograms from as far away as Ha-
waii began coming in from people
who had met the dog in his travels.
hickey was born in Little America
in 1884 during the second Antarctic
expedition of Admiral Byrd when
the temperature outside the shelter
stood at Is degrees below zero. The
first trees and grass he saw were
in New Zealand, where the expedi-
ton stopped on the return trip nine
months later.
Comdr. Dustin, who served as Ad-
miral Byrds aide, became Rickey's
dACCA tAAC PdAGy AOdSAACo eAAS
United States, and accompanied him
on two subsequent return trips to
the Antarctic in 1899 and 1947.
On the Anarctic trips, Hickey be-
came the invaluable ally of Wash
ington Ornithologist Malcolm Davis,
rounding up penguins with all the
finesse of a veteran sheepdog. Mr..
Davis recalled that Hickey, unlike
other dogs, never bit a penguin dur
ing these operations. ...
In fact, according to Comdr.
Dustin, Rickey's lifelong behavior
made a fallacy of the belief that
husky's are a vicious breed Of dog.
When he was attacked by smaller
dogs, Hickey, who weighed 80 pounds
and was 80 per cent wolf, used to
frighten them away by sneezing at
them, his master recalled.
When he left for the Paris con-
ference last month, Comdr. Dustin
told Hickey to take his orders from
Mrs. Dustin. The dog seemed to
be in perfect health, he said. One
night, however, Hickey walked into
the living room of the apartment,
lay down at his mistress feet and
died. 1t was learned later that he
had an incurable kidney ailment.

him Friday that only % had filed
for committeeman and hence there
would be no contest. Mr.. Hildreth
told The Star, however, that "over
80" had filed. Each must post $25
with his application for place on
the ballot.
In the formal notification Of the
coming primary election, the Central
Committee, in newspaper advertise
ments, pointed out that the only
persons who may vote are Bona
fide residents of the District Of
Columbia of at least two years past,
who do not vote elsewhere, who
are Democrats in belief and prin-
ciple, and who agree to support the
nominees of the National Conven-
ticn.' Polling places, five in number,
will be announced in other adver-
tisements on Friday, Mr.. Hildreth
said

House 10 Vote
On ST. EIizabeths
Bill Tomorrow
Measure Would ALLOW
Mental Patients to
Bypass Gollineer

The bill to authorize admission of
mental patients direct to st. Eliza
beths Hospital, by-passing Gallinger
Hospital, will come up for vote to-
morrow in the House.
Approved by the House District
Committee, the measure has been
widely recommended here to relieve
congested facilities at Gallinger, and
to benefit patients.
The House District Committee in
its report to the House pointed out
that the measure would eliminate
the necessity of having mental pa
tients admitted to and examined in,
two hospitals, as required by pres
ent law"
Procedure Outlined.
Patients now are committed tenn
porarily to Gallinger, for observa-
ton, the report points out. and If
they need extended treatment they
are transferred to st. Elizabeths
Hospital. where they are examined
again.
This duplication of admission and
subsequent examination in two hos
pitals-which the medical authori-
ties state is very disturbing to the
patients" the committee report says,
would be eliminated by having the
patient admitted in the first in
stance to st. Elizabeths Hospital"
There, the report says "the same
steps are taken to determine sanity
preliminary to permanent commit
ment or discharge, as the case may
be, as would have been taken at
Gallinger."
This measure is one of many
bills on the House calendar to be
taken up for action soon after the
House meets at noon. House lead
erS have designated tomorrow Dis
trict Day" for consideration of
legislation affecting this city.
Committee to Meet.
To prepare more bills for action
the House District Committee plans
to meet at 10 am. tomorrow to act
on three bills. One would ban cut
rate price wars among liquor stores.
and give the ABC Board control
over prices. This was reported to
the House Committee by its Judici-
airy Subcommittee without recon-
The other two bills before the
committee tomorrow morning would
permit a chain store corporation
holding a beer license to sell the
beverage at any or all of its outlets
which could qualify, instead of only
one as at present; and authorize
the District Commissioners to lease
city property for SO years to pri-
vate enterprise to erect parking
garages.
Among the bills on the House
calendar ready for action are
which would raise the pay
of police and firemen $500 year;
increase pensions OF widows and
orphans of police and firemen;
broaden the field of investments
for life insurance companies here;
set up claims against the Distri~
for property owners for damages
due to the widening Of Eastern ave-
nue., and increase the fees for bar
berS licenses.

AAA AssaiIs Plan
To Use Unmarked
Police Cars Here

The American Automobile Asso-
citation last night condemned the
suggestion that plain clothesmen in
unmarked police cars be employed
to catch traffic violators.
William H. Haight, director Of
services and travel Of the AAA's
District Division, said such a sug-
gestion was both bad timing" and
"shockingly bad taste" He pointed
out that the District Commissioners
are about to receive from the AAA
the grand award in the annual pc
destrian protection contest.
"The suggestion recently attrib-
uted to a judge of the Municipal
Court of Appeals in Washington
that the time is here for the use
of unmarked and undesignated cars
by policemen in civilian attire is
not only repugnant to motorists but
to police officers who have every
reason to be proud Of the record
the Nations Capital has made in
the field of pedestrian safety" Mr..
Haight said.
The suggestion for use of plain
clothesmen was made by Judge Brice
Clagett at the District Traffic Court
Conference last week. The judge
said such step should be resorted
to only with great reluctance.
Mr.. Hught said that in Maryland
state trooper are patroling Mary
lands highways in unmarked,
standard model automobiles. The
usual procedure calls for the use
of two cars. One is a marked
police car occupied by two uniformed
officers. Several miles behind this
lead car will be an unmarked car
occupied by plain clothes officers.
Those in the marked car observe
violations, communicate by radio
to the police car in the lead which
makes the arrest. Let's not have
this in WASHINGTON"

D. {. Weights Chief
Seeks Law 10 Cover
Frozen Food Sales

j. Thomas Kennedy, superintend-
ent OF weights. measures and mark
cts, will request the Commissioners
to ask Congress to revise the District
weights and measures law at the
next session of Congress, he said
yesterday.
The principal revision will be
asked in the method of retailing
frozen foods which were not in the
big business class when the present
weights and measures law was en-
acted. Mr.. Kennedy said he be-
lieves the customers are buying some
water when they buy frozen foods.
He said he has not been able to
determine how much but he says
some water must be added to freeze
some of the foods.
Frozen oysters, he said, are be-
coming increasingly popular and he
is investigating to see what per-
centage of water. If any, is added in
the freezing process. Present law
requires oysters to be sold by the
quart or count.
Another common practice here that
is not now covered by law, accord
ing to Mr.. Kennedy, Is laundry serv-
ice by the pound. Mr.. Kennedy
maintains that laundries perform
only a service and that there is
nothing in the present law covering
the selling of service by weight.
He said he also is going to follow
the campaign he has been waging
for several years to have ice cream
sold by weight and that If he can
not get this enacted into law. he
will try to have Congress include
both weight and liquid measure in
this proposed revision of current
laws.
Mr.. Kennedy, who will attend the
Southern Weights and Measures
southern conference in
Dallas, Tex, late this month, said
he will canvass other delegates for
ideas which he may want to in
corporate into the law here.

Animal Military Burials Rare.
Military officials in the Washing

was one of the very few times an
animal has been accorded military
honors. The only other instance
that could be recalled by George j.
Young, operator of the cemetery,
was the burial of Rags.
Most famous of Admiral Byrd's S
sled-dogs, Hickey became known as
the flying husky" to thousands in
this country through appearances in
