Expeditions Under Way
Many of the 40 nations par
tlcIpating in I. G.. Y. already have
expeditions in the field. In the
Antarctic the U. S. Nays
Operation Deepfreeze" estab-
lished bases in the Ross Sea
area. From there the Navy sent
the first planeload of men ever
to land at the South Pole. and
set up other bases there, at
Marie Byrd Land, the Weddell
Sea and Knox Coast.
Together with the British and
others. the Americans began
testing the frozen country's at
mospheric. oceanic and glacial
conditions. The Australians
found a huge new glacier and
uncharted ice shelf gulf, 100
miles long.
Similar work is going ahead in
the north polar areas, with 10
nations operating 212 observa-
ton points. More than 100 ships
were needed to carry out one pro-
gram alone-the supplying of
bases operated by United States
and Canada between the Boring
Sea and Newfoundland.

conservation measure. The laws
effect was the opposite of the
aim of legislators, who viewed
the measure as an aid to fuller
use of Virginia's water supplies.
Mr.. Almond ruled yesterday
that farmers who impound the
waters of non-navigabIe streams
do not have to get a permit be-
fore constructing a pond. He
said a farmer who wants to build
a pond doesn't need a permit
at all.
Complex Procedure Set Up
The new law establishes a
complex system of licensing, un-
der which the pond builder ap-
plies to the circuit court of the
county. or the corporation court
OF the city, in which the pond
would be located Before the
court can act on the application
the State commissioner of water
resources and the State water
control board must certify the
planned construction has no OBJ
jectionable features.
If a landowner constructs a
pond without first obtaining a
permit. no action could be taken
against him by any State agen-
cy," Mr.. Almond ruled. How
ever, he would be subject to COM
plants by downstream riparian
owners in the same manner that
he was subject to these COM
plants before the enactment of
the law.
