MAUDHEIM, Antactica, June
12-(By Radio)-(NANA) The
winter night with its short unreal
twilight now reigns at our winter
base here. Days pass by in strange
deep-frozen pastel colors. The
nights are lighter. with clear
frosty moonlight and flaming red
Southern lights which make our
polar dogs howl.
We have had winter storms with
winds Of up to rs miles an hour.
The cold record so far has been
45.8 degrees below zero. but our
base is well protected. lying below
the level Of the big snowfield.
The houses are warm and COM
Portable. well heated and have
electric lights. Corridors connect
the houses with the workshops.
stores. ETC., dug in the snow.
The addition to this winter base
consists of a roomy hydrogen fac
tory from which daily we send up
radio weather balloons through a
hole in the roof. In storms, we use
a seven-yard mast Of iron tubes.
We also have special dog house,
house for the puppies and an oil
dump connected to the corridor
system.
80 Degrees Below Zero.
We register continually the
temperatures from points 35
yards below the surface of the
snow and to $4,000 yards above
the earth, where yesterday it was
l12 degrees CD below zero.
Our glaciologists have bored
successfully down to 10 yards un-
der the surface of the snow and
have taken out an unbroken pillar
from the glacier. They hope to
reach ITO yards in depth soon.
We have discovered that the
shelf ice is broken off from the
barrier about % miles south and
southeast Of this base. The crevice
moves with the tides and has been
marked for later measurements on
a weeks Sledge trip. The ocean
outside is covered with Ice, but
the current repeatedly opens mile
wide "leads" whose clear water is
reflected In the sky and produces
the "Sea smoke" seen on the north
and north-north-weStern horizons
We regard this seaway as giving
good possibilities Of early and long
lasting navigation, because Of the
hard current running southwest
il the pack-ice belt otuside can be
penetrated.
Sledge Trips Planned.
At Maudheim early sledge
trips in the direction of the

Senate Confirmation
|0f Anna Rosenberq
Expected Late Today
BY the Associated Press

The FBI has located "the other
Anna Rosenberg" who used to
attend left-wing meetings, and
so the Senate is ready to confirm
the nomination of Anna M. Rosen-
berg as Assistant Secretary of
Defense.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia told q reporter the vote may
come late this afternoon.
1t will give the Senate's final
answer to charges-explored in
one Of the most intensive investi-
cations ever made into a presi-
Dental appointment-that Mrs
Rosenberg ever was a Communist
or that she attended Communist
meetings in New York Is years
ago.
The Armed Services Commit
tee unanimously reported yester-
day that there is no evidence te
support the charges"
No Backing for Charges.
One witness, Ralph de Sola, a
New York City microf1lm techni-
clan and Se!f-styled former Com
munist, claimed to have seen Mrs
Rosenberg at meetings of the
John Reed Club in New York in
1895.
All witnesses de Sola claimed
could verify his testimony either
disputed it or denied any knowl-
edge.
Mrs. Rosenberg emphatically
denied all of de Sola's charges
and in a face-to-face encounter
said he had never seen him.
She attributed the complaint to
the fact that many Anna Rosen-
bergs lived in New York City then
and one of them had been active
in the Communist group.
Identity Question Settled.
Senator Byrd. an Armed Services
Committee member, told the SEN
ate yesterday that FBI agents
located an Anna Rosenberg who
was associated with the John Reed
Club in New York City in the
early 1930s."
He added:
This woman, whose maiden
name was Anna Rosenberg, ad-
mits to the FBI agents that she
was associated with the John Reed
Club in New York City from

Mr.. Rankin said he was "prob-
ably more responsible for Mr..

retary of State than any other
man alive"
He said it was his amendment
to the rules of the House which
created the House Un-American
Activities Committee that ex-
posed the treason" of Alger Hiss.
IF it had not been for that"
Mr.. Rankin said, Hiss probably
would be Secretary of State now
and Acheson would be his as

Full Equality Within
Atlantic Pact Army
BY the Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Dec. 20.-Highly
placed diplomatic officials said
last night Western Germany will
be given virtual "full equality
within the Atlantic Pact army
if she agrees to help defend
Western Europe against Com
munist aggression.
These informants said Western
Germany as a member of an
international army for peace under
Gen. Eisenhower would be invited
to develop her air, land and sea
forces once more.
There were restrictions. The
Germans would not be permitted
to set up a general staff them
selves, nor to develop such ma
tional agencies as war or defense
ministries. They would be allowed
seat on the Atlantic powers
general staff to give them a say
in the strategic planning OF
Western Defense. They would not
be permitted to have national
army outside of the international
force.
They would also be allowed to
recruit combat forces for service
on land, sea and in the air.
The informants gave these de-
tails Of the plan for using Germans
in the international army:
/. The army looks to the use
of Germans on minesweepers,
coastal patrol boats and other
small craft which would be COM
mitted to defense of Germany's
shores. The Germans would not
be allowed to build and operate
capital ships, destroyers or other
offensive craft.
2. The plan allows Germans
to build up a tactical air force
made up mainly of fighters and
fighter bombers which would
serve as close support for their
own troops.
3. The Germans would serve in
all kinds of land and combat
units, including heavy tanks,
Heavy artillery and other armored
formations.
The size of the German combat
units were limited to 5000 to
5000 men in the immediate fu-
ture, but enlargement can be con-
sidered if Gen. Eisenhower deems
it necessary.
The Germans would be asked to
defend only their soil. They would
not be deployed to other parts OF
Europe.

controls have been imposed on
prices.
In the group meeting with the
Ching board were representatives
of General Motors Corp, which
once more has been rebuffed by
the Government in its plea for a
softening of the car price freeze.
GIN, the country's leading pro-
ducer of cars, offered yesterday
to resume sale and delivery of
1851 models if the Economic
Sterilization Agency would modify
its rollback order which suspended
a recent S per cent price in
crease.
The Government rejected the
request. at least for the time being
But officials conceded there was
some chance that some auto
prices would be raised above the
December l level on application
of the new voluntary pricing
standards, just announced by
ESA. This formula would permit
adjustments if producers could
justify increases.
Ford Praised for Compliance.
AS for GINS latest price modi-
flcation request, one ESA spokes-
man commented to newsmen:
who is debating the price con-
troll Of our economy-GM or this
agency?"
On the other hand, the Govern
ment commended a GIN competi-
tor, the Ford Motor Co., for COM
plying with the car price rollback
order.
Economic Stabilizer Alan Valen-
tine telegraphed Ford:
1--WE wish to commend your ex-
ample in meeting your RESPONSE
bilities to the country in this time
OF emergency by prompt and pa
triotic compliance"
Ford, like GIN, was expected
however. to urge a modification
of the order. The motor firm sent
John Bugas, vice president in
charge OF industrial relations, and
other executives here to take part
in discussions that begin today
with the ESA.

Rail Talks Resumed;
Early Vote Sought
On Union Shop Bill

Representatives of rail manage
ment and the four warning train
brotherhoods resumed their White
House conferences today with
considerable progress" reported
in the effort to settle the long
standing wage dispute.
When a lengthy session ended
at 8 o'clock this morning, DR.. John
R. Steelman, presidential assistant,
told reporters the meeting would
be resumed at II o'clock.
He didn't know about prospects
for an early settlement.
Since a strike was threatened
last August, the Government has
been in nominal charge of the
carriers. Conductors, trainmen,
enginemen and f1remen are in
volved.
On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, rail
union leaders plugged today for a
House vote before Congress ad-
journs on a Senate-passed bill to
permit the union shop on rail-
roads.
Immediate Vote Sought.
Representative Beckworth,
Democrat, of Texas, acting chair
man of the House Commerce Com
mittee, said he will ask Speaker
Rayburn for special consideration
of the measure and an immediate
House vote.
Under a union shop all workers
within a unions jurisdiction must
become union members. Present
law bans such an arrangement.
The bill would permit carriers
to install the union shop if agree
ment with e union called for it.
This is the same arrangement
allowed other unions under the
Taft-Hartley law. However, Taft
Hartley requires a Sanctioning
vote among workers before a
union shop may be negotiated.
The pending bill would not re-
quire such an election among rail
workers.
Three Court Actions Delayed.
In Chicago yesterday Federal
Judge Michael L. Igoe put off
three Government court actions
against the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen.
The proceedings resulted from
last weeks three-day wildcat"
rail strike by more than 10000

After agreement by attorneys
for both sides Judge Igoe:
l. Postponed the expiration date
OF temporary restraining order
from December % to January 10.
While it is in effect, the order for
bids strike by the yardmen.
2. Postponed a preliminary in
junction hearing against the BRIT
from December 81 to January IL.
3. Changed the hearing date on
a Government petition that the
brotherhood be held in contempt
of court from December 81 to

says the brotherhood showed con-
tempt because its members disre-
garded back-to-work orders of
