Senator Claims
Campaign Fund
Donation Is Okay

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Gold
water R-AriD says he accepted a
campaign contribution from a
member of the family that con-
trolls the Superior Oil Co. of Cali
fornia. Goldwater added, in an
ABC-TV interview Sunday that
he doesn't think this should affect
his membership on a special Sen
ate committee planning a broad
investigation of lobbying and
campaign contributions.
He said he could name -four or
five Democrats who received con-
tributionS" from the same source.
The special investigating COM
mittee and another, smaller Sen
ate group were set up after Sen.
Francis Case R-SD) disclosed he
rejected a $4,000 campaign fund
offer during the recent Senate de-
bate on the controversial natural
gas bill.
Goldwater was among those
voting for the bill to exempt ma
tural gas producers from direct
federal regulation when the Sen
ate passed it 1898.
The money offered Case was
traced by the smaller special COM
mittee to personal funds of How
ard B. Keck, president of Super
ior Oil. John M. Neff, an oil COM
pany 1awyer-lobbyist who made
the offer, testified there were mo
strings attached"
In his TV appearance, Gold
water was asked about a report
that he had received a contribu-
ton from Keck.
THAT is correct" Goldwater
said. He added:
eff Mr.. Keck likes the way l
vote he has a perfect right to give
money to me-"

US. Antarctic Expedition Discovers
Where Worlds Worst Weather Starts

NEW ohIA hF-1 llS 1NCW 1OIk
Times said today the current us.
Antarctic expedition has discov-
cred a vast trough of ice, thou
sands of miles in extent, lin
which the vilest weather in the
world is spawned"
A Washington dispatch to the
newspaper said hurricane gusts
up to 200 miles an hour have beer.
clicked in the chute between Vic
toria Land and Wilkes Land. It
added the everlasting glacial ice
also slides thru the trough into
the Indian Ocean.
The Times, calling the expedi-
TONS geographic discovery one of
the most important this season.
said word of it has been brought
to Washington by DR.. Paul A. ST.
pie, geographer and deputy to
Read Adm. Richard E. Byrd.
The dispatch also reported:
Siple, a veteran of all the Byrd
Antarctic expeditions, said recent
observations supported his belief
the Antarctic continental icecap
is divided into two gigantic domes
of ice, with perhaps some smaller
satellite domes scattered around
in the still UNEMPLOYED regions.
The smaller of the two domes
covers Marie Byrd Land, the east
ern Pacific sector of Antarctica,
and has an altitude of about 10000
feet. The larger dome lies in the
vast region between Wilkes Land
and Queen Maude Land, the Aus
tralian-I Indian Ocean sector, where
the altitude is estimated at 10000
feet.
The domes might be described
as separate icecaps. And one OBJ
jective of future chronological
tests is to determine whether they
are merely gargantuan plateaus
of ice or primeval mountains bur
led under the glacial blanket.
The trough noted by Siple-
apart from its importance as a
geographic feature-is significant
for a number of reasons.
1t will provide data on the ORR
gin of winds that may effect the
weather in other parts of the
world. The trough has a violent
effect on weather of Antarctica.
And new expeditions for the
International Geophysical Year
will now know enough to stay out
of the place and avoid hardships
suffered by the Australian Nav
son expedition of 1911-14 and the
French expedition of 195053.

BEAT EN- TO THE DRAW

Town commissioners are to be COM
mended for their move to collect de-
linquent taxes.
It's difficult enough to operate a
growing town when taxes are paid
promptly. It's virtually impossible to
plan beyond your nose when finances
are inadequate.
To some, the idea of legal pro-
ceedings to collect taxes may be STEP
ping too far.
