VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Antorctic's Secrets Probed Anew
By THOMAS R. HENRI

MS is the both anniVerSa-
ry of the discovery of the
South Pole, the ultimate end
of the earth, by the Norwe-
gian explorer Road Amund-
sen.
Quite appropriately the
dawning 1861 Antarctic sum-
mer will mark the start of
the largest and most far
reaching season of scientific
research in the beautiful
white desolation. Despite the
intensive program of 80 ma
tons during the Internation-
al Geophysical Year and of
following expeditions during
the past four years, the polar
continent and the surround
ing ice oceans remain rela-
lively unknown. 1t is probab-
ly safe to say that no human
foot has trod in at least two
thirds of the vast lifelessness.
The United States will take
the lead in this years pro-
gram. Nearly 200 American
scientists from more than 25
universities, research institu-
tons and government agen-
cies will undertake research
projects. The National Sci
ence Foundation to date
has awarded SO grants and
contracts totaling $4,687, 1873
in support of Antarctic re-
search. Additional grants yet
to be made will bring the to-
tai program to about $780,
600. Russian, British, French,
Argentine and Chilean re-
search groups also will be in
the exploration field.
Varied Program
Scientific activities this
year and next will include the
fields of biology, geology, gla-
GEOLOGY, gravity, mapping,
meteorology and upper at
moSphere physics. The United
States program will be co-or-
dinated with those of other
nations by the polar research
committee of the National
Academy of Sciences. There
will be for the first time a
floating research laboratory,
the USNS Eltanin, operating
in Antarctic waters. This is
an ice-strengthened ship suit
ed for operations in polar
seas and outfitted for ocean
ographic research.
Biological studies to be car
ried out include: Study of the
marine animals in the Nc
Murdo Sound area by a team
from Leland Stanford Univer
Sity.
Study of the natural dis
perSal of insects by the Bish-
op Museum of Honolulu.
Study and collection of py-
nogonida. marine Spider-like
animals. by a team from the
University of the Pacific.
Biology of fresh water
ponds and lakes in Antarcti-
ca under the direction of the
University of California. Eff
forts will be made to deter
mine the sources of energy
used by the bacteria to re-
main alive and their methods
of interaction and reproduc-
ton.
Soil bacteria in Snow-free
areas will be studied by Ohio
State University scientists to
isolate microbes that may be
present in the waste material
of penguins and SkuaS.
About 300 miles from the
South Pole lies one of the
largest UNEMPLOYED mountain
chains on earth, the Sentinel
Mountains. A group from the
University of Minnesota will
undertake geological recon-
naiSSance of this range to de-
termine whether it is a con-
tinuation of the South Amer
lean Andes.
Studies of soil-making
processes are in their infan-
cy in most parts of the world.
A group from Rutgers Uni
Versity will try to determine
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-01

whether soil formation actu-
ally is in progress in Antarc-
tlca today. The Horlick
Mountains, about 300 miles
from the Pole, will be ex-
plored by two separate
parties from the United
States Geological Survey and
Ohio State University.
Mapping Job Important
Mapping will be an i'm
portant part of the years
work. The distance along the
coast of the Ross Sea is about
1900 miles. Accurate maps of
this coast require precise To-
cations to be used in commune
ton with the excellent air
photographs already availa-
BILE.
At a small sub-station
three men from the Arctic
Institute Of North America
will spend the coming winter
observing and measuring the
height of auroral displays.
Completely Self-sufficient for
five months, this group will
live in an under-snow build
ing capable of being lifted UP
ALPHABETICALLY as snow accum-
ulation gradually covers the
station.
University of Michigan gla-
biologists will begin measure
mentS to determine the ex-
tent of the contribution of
the Marie Byrd Land ice cap
to the worlds largest mass of
floating ice, the Ross Sea
Shelf. During two previous
seasons they have studied
the movement of the shelf
along its seward edge, and
how much the mountain gla-
cierS along its western mar
gin contribute to the mass Of
the shelf
Logistic support for all the
American operations will be
furnished by the Navy.

c. Stanley Lowell, in a let
ter, asserts that mo general
loan program for construc-
ton of church buildings or
church school buildings has
ever been passed by Con-
gress."
For Mr.. Lowell's informa-
ton, Title 4 of the Housing
Act of 1850 provides for Fed
eral loans for a period up
to so years, at an interest
rate of pa per cent or less,
to provide housing and
other educational facilities
for students and faculties"
at any public or nonprofit
private educational institu-
ton if it offers at least a
two-year baccalaureate de-
gree program. Under this act
Federal financial help was
given to build dormitorieS
and dining rooms at Catholic
University as well as at
Methodist American Univer-
sity and scores of other
church-affiliated institutions.
Although Mr.. Lowell may
have been unaware of this
Housing Act, he must know
the provisions of the Hill
Burton Act of 1916, having
written numerous articles OPP
posing it on church state
grounds. Under the Hill-Bur-
ton Act over SO million has
been granted mote grants,
not loans) to Catholic, Prot
eStant and Jewish hospitals
for construction and equip
ment.
Under provisions OF the Ma
tional Defense Education Act
of 1858, private and paro-
chial secondary schools have
borrowed $1,849,550 for the
equipment, remodeling and
expansion of science, mathe-
mates and foreign language
claSSrooms and laboratories.
In the current fiscal year
Sc, 100000 has been allocated
for this purpose. In the Dis
trict of Columbia loans have
been provided to Beth Jacob
School ($2,335), Hebrew
Academy ($5,OOO) and Acade-
my of Notre Dame ($3,000)
among others.
Although Mr.. Lowell al
leges these programs to be
in violation of the Consti-
tuition, it is significant that
Congress and the courts have
never doubted their constitu-
tionality. In each of these
programs Federal aid is CIV
en- to religious institutions on
a nonpreferential basis and
such aid has always been
constitutional despite Mr..
Lowell's assertions to the
contrary. James A. Miller.

kins Gallaudet, father Of Ed
ward Miner.
Only 20 years old when he
came to Washington Tin 1850
as superintendent of the
newly organized Columbia In
stitution for the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind, Ed
ward Miner Gallaudet full
filled a dream Of his father
when he turned the inStitu-
tion into a college e-the only
college for the deaf in the
world, the biographer ex-
planned.
Members of the Gallaudet
family were still living in
the Hartford area when the
Boatners moved there.
The Suggestion
Edward DeniSon Gallaudet,
a grandson of Edward Miner,
had his grandfather's papers
and, in 1949, suggested that
Mrs. Boatner write the biog-
raphy.
There was a great miscel-
lany of fascinating material
letters, diaries, pamphlets.
booklets, she says.
After sorting through them
for some months, Mrs. Boat
ner decided she needed a
better background in research
education. So she enrolled
at Yale University, where she
received her PhD. in higher
education in 1852.
Edward DeniSon Gallaudet
died before the work was
completed and the author
dedicated the volume to his
memory.
Amos Kendall's name re-
ours frequently in the story
of Gallaudet and its campus.
Kendall Green, is so called
because the Kendall estate
provided the site for the COL

Work for the Deaf
Led to Biography

DR.. Maxine full Boatner
took the long way around to
become an author.
She always liked to write
and over the years has pro-
duced a steady stream Of
book reviews, features and
articles.
But it was her career as a
teacher of the deaf, plus the
happenStance of having her
husband accept a position as
superintendent of the Ameri-
can School for the Deaf at
Hartford, Conn, that even
tually led to her first book
"Voice of the Deaf-a Biog-
raphy of Edward Miner CAL
laudet."
The story of the founder
of Gallaudet College here, it
was published in 1859.
Now Mrs. Boatner is work.
ing On another-this one to
do with Anes Kendall, one
time Postmaster General un-
der Andrew Jackson whose
interest in the deaf brought
Edward Miner Gallaudet to
Washington.
Interviewed at the Library
of Congress, where she was
doing research last week,
Mrs. Boatner explained that
her own interest in the deaf
developed while she was a
student at Millsaps College
in her home town of Jackson,
Miss.
First Step
A family friend, who headed
the Mississippi School for the
Deaf, talked her into apply
ing for a fellowship in the
graduate school at Gallaudet
College.
When she was accepted,
she had made her first step
toward her first book, though
she didn't know it at the
time.
On completion of her
training. she returned home
to teach for two years before
her marriage to Edmund
Burke Boatner.
He was a civil engineer.
But after three years, I got
him interested in work for
the deaf, too." she explained.
To make a long story short,
her husband enrolled at Gal
laudet for training, taught
for two years in New York
and then, in the mid-30s. ac-
cepted the position he still
holds as head of the Ameri-
can School for the Deaf
first of it's kind in the United
States.
