Americans Back at Little America

to the edge Of the Ross shelf,
thence southeast to the great
Liv glacier, which probably
affords the shortest route to
the South Pole, and north
again to the starting point.
New Zealand and the
United States are occupying
a Joint station at Cape Hal
let, on the eastern side of the
Ross Sea. Cargo for this
station had been landed by
January 10 with eight scien-
tif1c and technical personnel.
Surface meteorological OBJ
servationS now are being
made every three hours, to-
gether with upper air obser-
vations twice a day. There
also will be extensive studies
of the aurora, geomagnetism,
and fluctuations in the iono-
sphere.
AS part of the weather
service an automatic station
has been set up by the French
on the coast Of Wilkes Land
several hundred miles from
the nearest occupied stations.
1t will broadcast hourly re-
ports over a range Of $50
miles for several months
without any maintenance.
These reports will be on
wind speed and direction,
barometric pressure and tenn
perature.
Heat Wave" Of 30 Above
While the wintering-over
party at the South Pole is
experiencing the lowest tenn
peratures ever recorded on
earth the Little America sta
ton has been suffering from
a heat wave" There has
been an all-time winter high
Of 80 above. The previous
record for the Antarctic was
Is above. Accompanying the
high temperatures there have
been record-b breaking winds
as high as rs miles an hour.
Strange as it seems, the
men at Little America are
wishing for cold weather.
Heat and high winds present
more problems than cold.
Since normal temperatures
are below freezing, building
roofs are not absolutely wa
terproof. The buildings were
designed for extreme cold and
for effective insulation. Snow
now melting on the roofs
creates many leaks. The high
winds have blown snow into
mountainous drifts. A partly
built new chapel has been
buried under five feet of
snow.
The station has expert
enced the worst wind storm
in history with winds of from
go to rs miles an hour con-
tinuous for six days. There
was some fear that the build
ings would collapse.

was constant forlorn,
derelict moan rising and fall
ing with the viciSsitudes of
the gale. During the peak
gusts it became q shreiking
monster clawing at the roofs
Of the buildings.
There was no surcease
from the penetration Of snow.
The smallest crack or hole
became the source of incred-
IDLY disproportionate drifts.
In unheated spaces such
drifts built into a pattern of
delicate. symmetrical forms
OF superb beauty. Drifting
snow will suffocate a chimney

plorers are established at the
best known spot in the Ant
arctic-Little America.
There on the edge Of the
Bay Of Whales, a small in
dentation in the edge Of the
great Ross ice shelf, will be
headquarters for all five
United States international
Geophysical Year camps and
a service center for every
body.
It is almost a second home
for some Of the men now
there. There the late Admiral
Richard E. Byrd set up four
camps on his various expedi-
lions. They now are buried
deep in the hungrily devour-
ing ice. Some of the build
ings. however, still can be
entered. They are weird, cold
chambers Of crystal as fash
lights shine upon their walls,
permeated with the cold Of
death-a kind of cold known
nowhere else on earth.
Expeditions of other ma
tons have had headquarters
nearby. 1t was from a site
very close to Little America
that Roald Amundsen started
his historic dash to the South
Pole in 1911.
Little America was reoc-
cupied in January by Is
scientific personnel, including
some Soviet and Argentine
meteorologistS, who will par
ticipate in the work of the
Weather Central program.
This program was well un-
der way early in February
with surface and upper air
observations.
Special programs also are
currently under way. Installa-
ton and preparation OF au-
rora, geomagnetiSm, glacio-
logical and ionospheric phys
les equipment now are com
pleted and the first data in
these significant fields are
being recorded.
Study Deep Ice
A weeks gravity measuring
expedition has been made
across the Ross shelf and
oceanographic studies of the
Ross Sea at the edge of the
great barrier shelf are under
way. Pit studies to determine
conditions deep in the ice
have been made on the site
of a former deep pit sunk
during Admiral Byrd's 1947
expedition.
The most significant in
stallation planned here, how
ever, is the ICY central
weather station for all Ant
arctica.
1t will serve all the nations
with setups in the far south,
Weather data are being COL
lected on a regular schedule
from all the Antarctic sta
tions. from nearby ships and
aircraft. and from various
overland parties. Thus, for
the first time. a co-ordinated
forecast study of weather
data from the south polar
region, which presumably has
q profound effect on weather
all over the world, will be
available to all nations.
Observations are being an
alyzed daily from three pres
sure attitudes above the ice.
Preparation of hourly sur
face charts are being COM
pleted for stations from
which data have been re-
ceived. 1t is expected that
full weather broadcaSting will
be well under way this sum-
mer.
Shortest Route to Pole
In addition to the weather
central, a traverse party will
operate out of Little America

"Barnyard Golf Tournament Is Planned Soon

Everyone can play clubs, lodges, wornet1's organizations, church groups, business houses, neighborhoods and individuals may enter the horseshoe tourna- ment "barnyard golf'' being or ganized here now.
 Set up a court in your neigh borhood now and practice up to enter the tournament-challenge another neighborhood, or indiv- idual.
 Courts will be constructed on or near Front Street where the final playoffs will be held.
 The only cost involved will be about $5, which is the price of a pair of regulation tournament shoes.
 A team consists of two players, however four can play with two cn each side.
 Registration books have been placed at Morgan & Son and at Nome Hardware and everyone in- terested is invited to register. A time and a place will be an nounced soon of a meeting to plan the rules end other details of the tournament.
 Information as to size of courts and rules of the game can be obtained by calling: Polaris Grill, Bering Sea Club, Morgan & Son, NC. Co. Hardware Dept, Nome Hardware, and the Polar Bar.

 "The State Department at the time protested protested Gen. Ei- senhower's recommendation but eventually bowed to the insistent views of the military.
 "Whether or not it was wise for the State Department to have so bowed, it would come in bad grace for the man who made the recommendation to imply such criticism"
 Newsmen then looked to the White House for comment. Press Secretary James C.. Hagerty said the two men were discussing two different matters.
 Hagerty added Wednesday,:
 "The starving and depicting of our armed forces was a political decision, not military one, over which the President-then Army Chief of Staff-had no control. As q matter of fact, he protested ire quently over gradual weakening of the armed forces"
 Hagerty said Acheson was re- ferring to decision to withdraw US. forces from Korea The Pres ident, Hagerty added, was talking about political" decision prior to 1850 which Eisenhower said led to depletion of military forces.

with Secretary of Commerce

been recommended in the past
but previous Commerce 'Secre-
taries have not promulgated
them.
All are Not Lawyers
Not all who engage in Patent
Once practice are lawyers.
Those who are lawyers may be
divided into two groups: Law
yers who are members Of bar
associations and those who are
not. The former group is pre-
vented by the canonS Of ethics

names included in approved
lists or in the classified tele-
phone, directory list. but not
In display type. There Is no
bar to advertising by the latter
group.
In addition, qualified per-
sons who are not lawyers are
admitted to Patent Office prac-
tice. If they were enrolled be-
fore the end of 1888 they may
be designated as patent attor-
neys." If they entered the prac-
tice after that date they are
designated as agents" There
is now no bar to advertising by
either patent attorneys or
agents.
Those observation-disclosures
and on-lawyers-who adver-
tise must clear their advertising
copy in advance with the Patent
ONCE. Some refer to this as
censorship; the Patent ONCE
carefully calls 1t q review.
There are about 6,700 per-
sons registered as Patent ONCE

1000 are not lawyers.
At the hearing the Ameri-
can Patent Law Association
presented a brief supporting
the proposed rule. The associ-
alton maintained that the
Commissioner, subject to the
approval of the Secretary of
Commerce. has full authority
to promulgate the proposed
rule. Opponents Of the rule
held the opposite view.

The associations brief argued
that the rule is in the public
