Ross Sea and the Ross Ice Shelf| have been expanded greatly during the second expedition. The Virginia admiral has claimed | definitely a large area known as: Marie Byrd Land for the United| States. The United States govern- ment, although retaining full rights to advance its claims at a future; date, never has made a formal claim of the ice-bound territories. | Believed To Have Claim r The United States has, officials believe, a valid claim on a number| of snow-swept areas, land and wa-| ter, if it cares to assert them and indulge An a dlplommc conbroversy[ sion of Adelie Land. his | O MIGHT CLAIM ) of various nations in Antorctica. area.

Territories which might be claimed under the American flag include what are designated on the maps of Antartica as Marie Byrd Lend, Wilkes Land, and a hazily-| tlined area between the southern- most tip of South America and; Hearst Land. “Little America,” Byrd's base, and | |the Bolling advance base, where Lhc admiral spent a lonely winter making scientific observations, are on the Ross Ice Shelf claimed by (Great Britain. Byrd never has of-| { ficially claimed them, although he flew the American flag over his | snowbound encampments.

These changes were re- vealed by preliminary estimates just released by the Bureau of For- eign and Domestic Commerce, based on rural chain store and mail order sales. Da verage sales for March in- creased about 10 per cent from Feb- ruary, or considerably more than the mated seasonal amount. March was 97% per cent of the 1926-31 monthly average compared with 90'¢ in February. Total sales for the first three mont of 1935 were 15 per cent than for the same perlod of 1934. The figures are all computed on a daily average basis which makes allcwance not only for the vary- ing number of business days from /menth to month but also for the | varying sales importance of the dif- ferent days of the week. In addi- |tion, the seasonally adjusted index makes allowance for usual seasonal changes from month to month as observed during the past several years.
