Adm. Byrd To Explore Again
By H. D. QUIGG
Once again, at 67, he's ready to shove off on an expedition bound for that misty region that explorers always call "the unknown." This will be Adm. Byrd's fifth expedition to the lost continent, Antarctica. If all goes well, they'll set up a base at the lonesomest, coldest (100 below) deadest, most inaccessible place on earth, the South Pole, where only Amundsen and Scott have stood before, with their parties.
Only Amundsen survived, Scott, the heroic Englishman, and his entire party died on the long walk back to the sea.
NEW YORK—(U.P.)—Once upon a time there lived, in a state called Virginia, three brothers named Tom, Dick, and Harry. But they were not just any Tom, Dick and Harry. There last name was Byrd.
To Explore At 67
The South Pole is 10,000 feet high in the middle of the world's largest and highest plateau, atop an icecap 500,000 years old and a mile and a half thick that shrouds a continent nearly as big as South America and bigger than Australia and the United States combined.
Tom grew up to be a farmer Harry became a U.S. Senator. Dick became, in time, the greatest American explorer of the earth.
Dick, who was named Richard Evelyn after his father, is a compact, pipe-puffing man with a pronounced Virginia accent. As Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd, he has been the type who gets things done. But when you know him, he turns out to be sort of a dreamer.
Because of its killing cold and desert aspect, the continent holds no life, not even a germ or virus of the common sniffles, except 'at its coastlines, where seals and penguins play.
little Known About It
Most of the continent has never been seen. We know less about it as one writer has said, "than we do about the sunlit side of the moon." On the admiral's last expedition, I was along as a correspondent at Little America. I watched him come in from exploratory flights, eyes alight with the wonder he had seen, vast new mountain ranges curving off over the horizon, tortured glaciers, and the dismal white wasteland beyond the pole. From his plane, he bouqueted the pole itself with the tossed flags of all the United Nations.
"The nations of the world may someday use this great refrigerator," he said. "When countries have a bumper crop, they can put the surplus down here for use in famine years. The world food supply will even out."
Between flights, he puffed his pipe and talked his dream—that someday Antarctica would become a big deep freezer for mankind, a place that would banish famine from the earth.
The Admiral loves that forsaken place. "I feel better down here," he used to say, squinting out over the soundless, antiseptic wastes. And when we left, he tacked up a little note in his hut: "This has been a peaceful place. It deserves better than to be vandalized. Otherwise—welcome."
There's no doubt that the perpetual cold beneath the icecap surface will keep food. We ate, in 1947, stock that Adm. Byrd has put in snow-tunnel caches 20 years before, on his first expedition.

Stung by foreigners' tendency to think of Bali as the only beautiful part of Indonesia, the republic encourages modern ways on the island, while retaining most of its picturesque aspects, says the National Geographic Society. However, a recent law decrees shirts for Balinese women.

Nobel Peace Prize Goes To UN Group
OSLQ, Norway—(U.P.)—The 1954 Nobel Peace Prize—held over from last year—was awarded today to an organization instead of a man. It went to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The 1955 Nobel Peace Prize was reserved for award next year.
Thus the Norwegian - Storting (parliament) which awards the coveted prize failed for the second straight year to agree on a man from a long list including such names as Sir Winston Churchill, Harry S. Truman, Pierre Mendes-France, Sir Anthony Eden and Jawaharlal Nehru.
Masqat, fortress capital of Oman, displays some distinctive marks of foreign visitors, says the National Geographic Society. Sailors have made it a custom to climb the Masqat cliffs and advertise their ships by painting big white letters on the rocks.
