During the formative period of our
Nation, the bald eagle CHaliaetus leucoce-

symbol. Some Of the founders argued
against the eagle. saying that. far from
being noble bird, he Is cowardly and
cruel. Benjamin Franklin suggested the

Parachute Tests

(AP).-They've been parachut-

into the inland Salton Sea
near here, the Navy said yester-
day, and so far everything
works fine.
The 2,000-pound capsules, de-
signed to carry a man into
space and back, eventually will
be boosted aloft by large mis-
siles. In the tests here the
empty capsules were pushed
from a C-130, Hercules cargo
plane at attitudes up to 10000
feet.
The purpose Of the more thar
80 drops conducted so far was
to test parachutes which will

Rod, while others would not
specify any termination date.
The conference will work in
two committees on the various
articles proposed for the treaty.
It is believed that treaty drafts
already have been exchanged.
President Eisenhower outlined
the peaceful purposes OF the
proposed treaty and its general
provisions.
Freedom of scientific investi-
CATION throughout Antarctica
would be assured citizens, or
CARNATIONS and governments
of all countries"
Cooperation begun under
the International Geophysical
Year would be continued.
Rights Unchanged
No participating nation would
be required to renounce what
ever basic historic rights it may
have in Antarctica, or whatever
claims of sovereignty it may
have asserted" These would
remain unaffected" during the
duration of the treaty.
Joint administrative ar
rangements" would be provided
as necessary to insure "the sue
cessful accomplishment of the
agreed detectives" The United
States advocates both ground
and air inspection under this
provision.
The treaty would be deposited
with the United Nations, and
cooperation Of U. N. technical
agencies would be sought.
At present the frozen waste
lands of Antarctica are used
m ainly for meteorological
studies, space exploration and
oceanography. Marine life in
the area is said to be very high
in food value.
Antarctica is about the size
of the United States and Europe
combined, but most of it is
buried in thick ice. What ma
tural resources it might yield
for future exploitation is not
known.
There are no military bases
there now, nor is there any
known plan of any nation to
construct one.
