He was en-: 3aged in laying ground control for serial - mapping, which is large scale triangulation to assist aerfal photographers in mapping the zoast line and mountain ranges, He also did ‘some geological work, and :ollected a humber of geological pecimens for himself.

Irene Dunne was the expedition’s favorite actress. Radio reception was wonderful at the base, with the expedition being i¥le to hear all parts of the world |any time of the day or night. For this reason, Berlin says he thinks the |men of the Byrd expedition had a | better insight into the war than any ‘other group anywhere. | He enjoyed the experience a great deal he says. Asked if he’d go back on another, he thought about it quite awhfle and then xeplie‘l “not ught away.” Chief Cadastral Engineer George A, Parks is sending Berlin out later in the month on a field survey trip Lo Anchorage.
