Men on Polar Project Heading
For Home After GrueIinu Dutv

Weather station crewmen or
F1etcher's ice island-130 miles
from the North Pole-are be-
ginning to come home.
| A weather observer and radio
Operator from the nine-man crew
are back in the comparatively
tropical surroundings of Alaska
after almost four months of float
ing on a super-size ice cube at
the top of the world.
The Air Force identified them
las Technical Sergt. James K. Col
bert of Pennington, N. NJ, the
observer. and Staff Sergt. j. B.
Jones of Dawson Springs, KY,
radio operator. -Four of the five
remaining men will be flown out
soon. The fifth, Technical Sergt,
Fred T. Whiteside of Dallas, Tex,
has chosen to remain another
three months.
Purpose Of the project is to re-
port weather conditions from the
high polar latitudes which other
wise are covered by periodic flights
by B-29 weather reconnaissance
flights to the North Pole.
The polar night already is set
ting in at the ice island, with but
two or three hours of faint twilight
each day.
The summer" weather on the
ice island brought problems. The

sun, its rays penetrating into the
snow cover Of the ice, created
lakes and roaring creeks on the
surface.
A weasel "a tracked vehicle
for personnel transport) broke
through snow into one of the
lakes. A second weasel, sent to pull
the first one out. begged down in
another lake. The whole crew of
the ice island, with small bull
dozer. finally rescued both weasels.
Bad weather apparently exists
most of the time. "Whiteouts''
caused by frost. snow and fog re-
duce visibility to zero and makes
the landing of planes hazardous.
The ice island residents get
their food by parachute drops. AT
one point in July the fresh meat,
flour eggs and other staples ran
out and the crew lived for q time
on the filling, but monotonous, B.

|Mcke|din Challenges
Suit Against Him by
|CampDe Civilians
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Aug. is
Gov. McKeldin says a suit flee
several weeks ago by civilians liv.
ing at nearby camp Detrick would
result in the courts interfering
with the governing machinery OF
Maryland.
The civilians contend they are
victims of taxation without repre-
sentation because they live ON
Government property. They pay
State taxes but cannot vote in
Maryland elections. m
In a demurrer filed in equity
court yesterday, Gov. McKeldin
said the group made mistake in
naming him as defendent.
He said the suit could not
properly be filed against him as
Governor because he is the head
of sovereign State which has
never consented to being sued.
The demurrer said the suit
shows the group has not taken
advantage of special forms of
remedy provided by State law,
which makes the court action un-
necessary.
Similar statements also were
filed by Attorney General Hall
Hammond and an assistant,
Francis D. Murnaghan. jr., on be-
half of other state officials named
as defendants in the suit. They
included Comptroller -. Millard
Tawes, Thomas B. r. Mudd,
motor vehicles commissioner, and
Perry D. Radcliff, register of wills.
No date for a hearing on the
demurrers was set Immediately.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-Dr
H. c. Byrd, president of the Uni
versity of Maryland. said yes
terday the State ought to decide
right away what it is going to dc
about higher education for Ne
groeS.
1--WE want to see the question
settled now" he declared. III
some determination of policy and
objectives is not made soon, he
added, I'VE will take it to the
people,"
Maryland's policy in the past
has been separate schools and
colleges for Negroes. On the
higher education level it has sep
Iarate teachers colleges for Ne
'groeS, supports Morgan State Col
lege in Baltimore for Negroes, and
maintains a Negro branch of the
university on the Eastern Shore
at Princess Anne.
Court victories Cited.
In rectn years, however, Negroes
have won court fights and forced
their admission to the profess
slonal schools in Baltimore. In a
few instances, they even have OBJ
tanned entry into graduate divi-
sions of the university on the
main campus at College Park.
The State also maintains an ex-
pensive program of sending Negro
students to schools in other States
when the subjects they want to
study are not offered at Negro
schools in Maryland.
DR.. Byrd's call for a showdown
came as he placed a $17,946, 900
construction program for the uni
versity before the State Planning
Commission.

Dr.. Byrd Urges State to Act
On Negro Education Problem

how we can meet them best and
most economically"
Sets Need at $4.5 Million.
| If the State had carried out its
original plan for one land grant
college for Negroes. he maintained,
its higher education objectives
could have been met at about half
the present cost.
IF the State will give us $4.5
million to take care of Princess
Anne" he went on, "the university
will accept the responsibility for
Negroes and whites alike and ask
no more"
He said this would be the intel
ligent. wise and economical thing
to do.
A commission which studied
higher education in Maryland sew
eral years ago was against further
State development of Princess
Anne. Gov. McKeldin also has
taken stand against it.
The building program which
DR.. Byrd put before the planning
commission calls for spending
more than $12.5 million at COL
lege Park-$8,137,O00 for new
facilities, $750,000 to complete and
equip projects already started,
and $230,000 for renovation and
repairs and $35 million for self
liquidating housing projects.
Other items include $3,715,0O
for Princess Anne, and $1,583, 900
for the university schools in Bal4
timore.
The housing item for College
Park calls for 16 new dormitories
eight of them small ones to be
rented to fraternities and sorori-
ties.
He said the College Park CAM
puS also needs a 100000 inf1rm-
ary. The present one, acquired
in 1905, is manifestly inadequate
