ACoust and Geodetic

The Coast and Geodetic
Survey is gleefully busting the
skeletons in its far-fiung
closets.
A century and a half have
interviewed. come Sunday, be-
tween the gaudy carriage
Ferdinand Hassler, the Sur
vey's first director, used to
carry his surveying instru-
ments, and Admiral H. Arnold
Karo's bursting-at- the-seams
agency of today in the Com
merce Building.
In any outfit $50 years old
there are bound to be a lot of
skeletons. All are being shown
proudly to the public as part
of the Surveys sesquicenten-
NAL celebration.
Among those which rattle
the loudest are the agency's
lone mutiny at sea, its tiff
with the Russians, how the
first director told off the Presi-
dent of the United States, and
its firing of the artist James
McNeill Whistler.
Even Charles Laughton
would have a rough time try
ing to pull a full length movie
out of the nlutiny, but there
it was, back in l849, and gold
fever was the cause.
The Surveys steamer Ewing
was charting the San Fran
cisco harbor to help accom-
modate the heavy increase in
shipping brought on by the
gold rush Crewmen from all
sorts of Whips in the harbor
were deserting to head for the
gold fields.
FIVE seanien from the Ew-
ing, headed FOR shore in a gig,
raped the boats officer on
the head with an oar and set
of after gold. When they were
caught, one was hanged from
a yardarm, another put to
death aboard ship" and the
others clapped in the brig.

says, deprecatingly.

THE TIFF with the Rus
slams is a comparatively. new
skeleton. In 1921, a survey
team was making magnetic
observations near the Arctic.
A part of the procedure in
volved setting markers at the
spots the observations were
made.
Two places they touched
were Emma Harbor and
Whalen, in Siberia. At the
former, they set the marker
where 1t would be hidden from
prying eyes. At Whalen, they
got permission from the local
commiSsar to make the OBJ
servation and set the marker.
The Russians did not con-
slider this a violation of their
territorial rights. What made
them hopping mad was the
standard bronze plate which
the Survey attaches to all its
markers - pointing out that
anybody caught monkeying
with the marker would be
fined $3.50.
The man to whom the Sur
vey still points with pride was
the first director, Hassler, a
headstrong, proud scientist
who got little help from Con-
gress. HaSsler asked his boss,
President Andrew Jackson,
for a raise to $4,000 a year.
Jackson said that would make
his salary equal to that of

Senator Knowland. a member

Foreign Minister. presented a

U. s. Policy Defined
The Republican minority
leader declared bluntly that
United States policy is based on
the everlasting hope that the
captive peoples" of Eastern
Europe will be permitted to "en-
JOY those fundamental rights and
freedoms recognized in the
United Nations Charter.
Senator Knowland declared
that by bringing charges against
the United States the Soviet
Union lis merely trying to divert
world attention from its own
year-in and year-out program of
using foreign Communist parties
to subvert and undermine the
governments of free countries all
over the world"
"Perfidy" in Hungary Cited
He blasted the Soviet charges
fof United States intervention in
Eastern Europe as a myth" de-
signed to hide an act OF classic
perfidy" in Hungary. He said
the Kremlin's repressive actions
stemmed from a "psycopathic
concern" for security.
His charges against the Rus
slams in Eastern Europe included
suppression of Legitimate de-
mands" for national independ-
ence, the imposition of puppet
governments supported by Soviet
armed might. and the plundering
OF their economies for the bene-
mt OF the Soviet state"
Senator Knowland asserted
the Russians had denied the
basic human rights to the peo-
plies Of Eastern Europe, cut them
on from contact with the out
side world and filled their news
papers and books with hate
America" slogans.
