1t was easy to talk about
"the coolest place on earth"
within the warm and coy
confines Of a Washington
embassy last night.

they were talking about.

Antarctica now in session

The comment on Antarc-
tica being the coolest place
came from Soviet explorer
Mikhail M. Sornov of Lenin-
grad. chief of the Soviet An
tarctic Complex Expedition,
who's a member of the Soviet
delegation to the conference.
Prof. Somov. who led the first
Soviet expedition to the An
tarctic in 1856, came UP with

The acting head Of the
Soviet delegation, Prof. Gre

international law from Mos

he thought the conference

Capt. Rome Attends
Two well known American
explorers-Finn Rome and
Carl Eklind, who made the
famous trek with Rome
along the Palmer Peninsula
in Antarctica, were also at
the party. With Capt. and
Mrs, Rome were Baron Gas
ton de Gerlache, who led the
first Belgian expedition to
Antarctica in 1857 and his
beauteous blond wife, Baron

Capt. Rome pointed out
that both he and Baron de
Gerlache share the distinc-
ton of being sons of Antarc-
tic explorers. The baron's
father, Baron Adrian de Ger
lache, was the first explorer
to spend a full winter in the
Antarctic in 1897. The Nor

Soviet Women Go
In foreign Antarctic bases,
notably in the Soviet areas,
some women scientists and
journalists have been allowed.
In part, the exclusion of
women from United States
bases is due to the fact that
the Navy bears full respon-
sibility for the delivery,
maintenance and support of
all personnel and material to
these areas.
And, traditionally, all Navy
operations, including its
Operation Deepfreeze," are
on an all-male basis.
In the Navy, women wait
for the ships; they don't sail
on them.
Scientists, however, have

ordered that one be made.
If women eventually are
admitted to Antarctica by
the United States Navy,
American women scientists

in history as the trail-blazers
for their sex.
Admission will depend on
whether the physical set-up

men only, can be adapted to
provide adequately for wom-

For example, although fro

a drop is fit to drink until it

Even with the aid of bull

The exhibition is divided
