Antarctic Summer

North American Newspaper AiIionee.


RONNE ANTARCTIC RESEARCH
EXPEDITION, Main Base, Stoning-
ION Island. Feb. 3 (By Wireless) De-
layed).-The height of summer is
passing here in Antarctica-and
though the. sun is only below the
horizon for few hours day, there
has been a gradual but noticeable
increase in the hours of twilight be-
tween II pm. and l am. our time.
Our long daylight period is slowly
decreasing.
The increased solar radiation and
higher temperatures during the sum-
mer months produced much melt
ing of the winters snow. The high
est temperature we experienced was
Al degrees on January II. The tenn
perature of the sea water has risen
to So degrees at the surface and to
80 some four feet beneath the sur
face. AS this is above the freezing
point OF sea water, which is 28.6
degrees, the ice in Marguerite Bay
and that which surrounds our ship
in the small cove near our base has
been gradually melting and rotting
away the last six weeks.
On the glacier in back of our
camp, the melting ice has widened
the numerous huge crevasses and
has broken many of the snow bridges
across these crevasses which the
winter SHOWS had built up.
As soon as the bay ice became un-
safe as a takeof and landing field
for our planes land as the only
alternative was the crevassed glacier
which investigation also proved un-
safe), the aircraft were dismantled
and towed by the weasel over the
bay ice to the side of the ship.
We were fortunate that the ex-
petitions aviation program had
been completed-after 334 hours in
the air for a conservative total of
IS, 900 air miles.
With this program finished, the
bay ice, while weakening rapidly,
was still strong enough to hold the
planes. The ships crew, with the
aid of the ships winch and boom,
loaded them on deck and stored
them and their parts for the long
return voyage to the United States.
From the time the ship is afoat
clear of the ice-probably after our
next strong winds-until our de-
parture, the vessel will be manned
by a skeleton crew. Further load
ing will be done by the ships motor
boats. The small LIS plane will
then be equipped with pontoons for
the reconnaissance flying.

Carrie Denies
 Spy Connection

WASHINGTON, R)-Lauchlin Carrie, former assistant to Presi- dent Roosevelt, denied today that he was connected in any way with a communist spy ring.
 The 48-year-old New Yorker told the House un-American ac- tivities committee that Elizabeth T. Bentley's story linking him to a spy ring was ''hearsay three times removed"
 Miss Bentley, who says she was a courier for the communists, had testified that she was told Currie once informed a member of the ring that the United States was about to decipher Russian code.
 While no one ever accused him of being a communist, the soft spoken Currie testified: q am not and never have been com munist, a member of the com munist party, believer in the tenets or doctrines of commun- ism"
 "I have never been affiliated with any organization or group sympathetic with the doctrines of communism or engaged in fur thering that cause. I have never had any reason to believe that

Two COal-Carriers
 Crash In Berlin

BERLIN, (P) Two United States r-engined flying coal man" planes spanning the Soviet blockade of Berlin crashed while landing during a heavy rainstorm at Tempelhof airdrome today.
 One smashed through fence and burned but the crew of three escaped through an emergency hatch without serious injuries.
 The other plane, coming down through clouds, landed on half completed runway and was heav- fly damaged. The crew was un- hurt.
 It was first reported that the C-54 which crashed and burned was carrying food and that the crew was trapped. Later it was learned that the plane carried coal.
 This plane careened through a fence a few yards short of one of Berlin's busiest streets. One wing and part of the fuselage and car go burned before firemen put out the blaze.
 It was a near miracle that the crew was not killed. Bystanders who usually crowd the end of the field where the plane crashed, narrowly escaped injury.
 A few minutes earlier another C-54 coming out of the clouds on

COP Asks What
 Truman Covers Up In Spy Hearings

| WASHINGTON, (R R-Republi- cans gave every indication today of accepting President Truman's challenge to make political is sue of the Congressional hunt for communists in the government. MT. Truman's second declara- ton that the Senate and House in- vestigations are nothing but a red herring-with the added phrase: of the strongest type you can smell-brought burst of answer ing fire from COP ranks.
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's cam paign manager declared at AL bany that the people are shock ed' at what he called the Presi- dents attitude "in seeming to cover up" information bearing on communist activities.
 Herbert Brownell, Jr., the cam paign chief for the Republican nominee, added to reporters that nothing else that has happened in Washington in the last three weeks could match the intense" interest shown in the spy investi- gationS.
 Rep. Mundt R.-S. D., who has been acting chairman for many of the hearings before the House un-American activities commit tee, shaped his acceptance in the form of a counter-dare.
 "I challenge the President" Mundt said, ito authorize the FBI and other government agencies to make available the evidence sub stantiating or disproving the ex- istence of these espionage activi- ties"
 MT. Truman indicated by his second jab at the Congressional hearings he expects the Republi- cans to dwell on testimony that some government officials gave away secrets to Moscow agents.
 His vigorous assertion that these inquiries are nothing but a red herring left little doubt he will contend in rebuttal that the hearings were stage-managed to take the public mind off his cost of living battle with Congress.
