. BRITISH EXPLORERS SCORE BYRD CRITIC Shackleton Aide Says Moun- tains Have Been Named and Measured. By Radio to The Star and the New York Times. LONDON, December 4.—Two British explorers yesterday came to Comdr. Byrd's_defense against the criticisms of Maj. Tryggve Gran, the Norwegian explorer, regarding the flight over the South Pole. Capt. R. G. England, who commanded the Nimrod on Sir Ernest Shackleton's first Antaretic_exp-dition in 1907 and who was on the relief ship Morning's voyage to Discovery Inlet in 1902-04. described Maj. Gran's statements as “shocking.” “I cannot understand his stat-ments,” Capt. England declared. “It is all the more extraordinary because Maj. Gran was one of Capt. Scott’s men. It would b2 nothing short of a miracle if Capt. Scott’'s men did not see mountains near the South Pole. Says Peaks Are There. “On the eastward ther> is the Queen | Alexander Range, 15,000 feet in height, and on the westward is the Queen Maud Range, about the same height. B-tween the ranges there is the King Edward Plateau, which is the only plain near. Maj. Gran can have no reason to throw doubt upon the existence of the ranges. “As Comdr. Byrd said, the mountains must be -terrible, especially to an air- man who has to fly over th-m. The trip certainly could not be made by motor cycle, .as Maj. Gran suggests. Those mountains actuaily have been surveyed, named and measured.” Further Facts on the Mountains. Capt. William Colbeck, a member of the Scuthern Cross expedition in 1898- 99, said that though Maj. Gran jumped tn conclusions before he was able to obtain full facts, it was a “well known fact that there are mountains near the South Pole.” “I saw them from the Morning in 1903, he continued. “Comdr. Byrd rould probably see them from a hundred miles away, because of his height in an eirplane. His flight was magnificent. “Nothing is more possible than that Ecott’s and Amundsen’s cairns are still &0 well preserved as to be visible from the air against the snow-white plain. “Comdr. Byrd is doing great work | end avoiding mistakes which were in- | its evitable on the pioneer expeditions.” (As pointed out in yesterday's issue of The Star, quoting the New York ‘Times, Comdr. Byrd has not reported s‘ghting the camps of Scott and Amund- gen and has reported mountains as far south as between 86 and 87 degrees, be- yond which he characterized the terrain as an “almost limitless plateau.” Maj. Gran was, therefore, correct in assum- inz that there were no mountains south ©of 88 degrees.) GERMAN PRESS IS NEUTRAL. Berlin Papers Try to Be Just to Byrd and Maj. Gran. - By Radio to The Star and New York Times. BERLIN, December 4.—The criticisms made by Maj. Tryggve Gran, the Nor- wegian explorer, of Comdr. Byrd's flight over the South Pole, based upon the major's impressions of reports reaching him, have provoked wide comment in the German press. v ‘The newspapers here, however, are very cautious in their expressions today and are trying to be just to both Comdr. ize Maj, Gran’s careful we are regarding his exclama- tions. It is certainly quite possible that Comdr. Byrd did not fly across the Pole. The difficulty of fixing exact spots from an airpiane is known, and a final decision can be made only after Cemdr. Byrd's logbook and instruments have been examined. Byrd's Reliability Is Cited. “On the other hand, oné knows that Comdr. Byrd is a reliable, serious character who in all of his prewous expeditions has abstained from sensa- tional effects. Comdr. Byrd's flight over the North Pole, too, was at first ques- tioned, but proved later correct. Comdr. Byrd intentionally zigzagged around the Pole in view of the difficulty of deter- mining exact spots.” (Maj. Gran told the New York Times correspondent in Copenhagen that the doubt of Comdr. Byrd's flying over the South Pole, credited to him in an earlier interview, was due to a mis- understanding, and added: “In my opinion there is not the slightest doubt that Comdr. Byrd flew over the Pole.”) Cook-Peary Fight Is Recalled. The Boersen Courier says: “Few things are as humiliating as an alleged accomplishment of the ex- ploring spirit and of daring courage turning out te be false. In the attacks directed against Comdr. Byrd every one must remember the ugly fight between Cook and Peary. But Maj. Gran's criticism provokes — SPECIAL_ NOTICE. WANTED SPACE IN TRUCK FOR PIANO from Wilmington. Del., to Washington.

EXCEPT CHRISTMAS. ¥ FURNITURB i | {Describes Final Dash —_(Continued From First Page.) Limitless Plateau Ahead. All was well again. We looked around. Ahead was an apparently limitless plateau, glistening white in the sun- shine. The great Polar plateau at last. ‘It was good to see it after the months | we had wondered about it and the { hundreds of times we had asked our- | selves if we would ever be lucky enough | to reach it. To the left were great mountain | masses looming high above our level. |I would hesitate to estimate their | altitude, but they are very high since lat this place the plateau itself was | about 10,000 feet above sea level. Mac's photographs must tell the story. Be- yond this mass were separated peaks of many different shapes running to the south—eastward. ‘But could one say | that they ran that way? For though they might continue in the sarse gen- eral line, so topsy-turvy is direction here that in 150 miles they could be running north of east. That is what happens near the Pole, Great Peak Like Porcelain Bowl. There was one great isolated peak completely snow covered and looking like a great inverted white porcelain bowl. Back of us, running east and west along the rim of the plateau were enormous peaks lifting their heads high into the air. I looked over to the rignt and got one of those kicks that pulls a man away from civilization, which repays him for his efforts. There was a new mountain range in the distance, running north and south —a new bit of land to add to the map of the world. Mac would shoot it with his camera. We felt that it was worth while bringing him for that alone. It occurred to me as I looked around at the mountains that they must fringe the whole plateau—nature’s great dam holding the ice, and snow there until in geological ages, would lift itself from Antarticia until the vast amount of snow melts and runs through outlets to the ocean, that which lies below will not be revealed. Only Guess at What Is Below. At present we can only guess W is beneath that great ice cap and what depth. It is one of the world's mysteries, That imaginary point—the South Pole—is in the center of an up- lifted plajn hundreds of miles in di- ameter, a magnificent edifice seemingly built to make more inviolable the tiny spot which we were seeking. The plateau seems to range from 7,000 to 11,000 feet in altitude. Beyond the new mountain mass we saw a small peak, sticking up through the eat :5- panse of snow—a very lonely little biack speck. It was hard to realize that it was the top probably of a mountain about 9,000 feet above sea level. On we went flying at the rate of 100 miles through the air toward our goal. Our drift indicator showed a wind from the left. We had to head the Floyd Bennett a_dozen degrees to the left in order to fly sraight south. Tmpossible to Tell Altitude. 1t was impossible to tell our exact altitude above the plateau and thereé fore not easy to get our actual groun speed as it wouldlhl\;e been over water or_ice near sea level. a way. With a stop- . But there was . “mwg"u' asse, sastrugi, or smoke bom! - g‘:&h to run lgz length of a 12-inch wire in the bottm of the plane. And turning north we took the time over the same object in the same manner. Thex& with simple mathematics, the spee could be calculated. To do this we had to open a two-foot trap door. The strong wind coming up through it quickly numbed the face of the ob- server. It was 10 degrees below Zzero and getting colder as we approached m:fl‘:o;gund the wind to be against us. Instead of flying 100 miles an hour over the plateau, we were making only 84 or 85 miles an hour. This was a dis- appoiatment. It would take us longer to reach the pole than we had calcu- lated. but we would came back faster. We took a look back at the mountains and when we saw their great hflgh!, realized that we must be very carzful to allow for the wind. Drift Then to Settle Fate. 5 Unless we reached our pass or the Axel Heiberg glacier to fly through down to the barrier, we might be trap- ped by mountains we could not scal There were many very important re sons then why the wind-drift indicator and the sun compass should be used with the greatest care and why Bernt and Harold should steer carefully. Sup- pose the clouds should close in around the mountains before our return. That would indeed trap us. But it was one of the chances we had to take. The character of the plateau surface varied greatly from time to time. We saw to the left the foot of a magnificent _—_————————————— jtion. Comdr. Byrd is mnot just ggmdy: ‘as conqueror of the Atlantic and the North Pole he accomplished | unforgettable deeds and as a man of 40 he never gave any reason to regard him as a man with a lack of r!llsbi},ity | or with with too much imagination. The Boersen Courier then quotes a dispatch that Comdr. Byrd never said he found mountains near the South Pole and continues: 1 | Jealousy Is Suggested. | “Some of Maj. Gran's remarks show that besides nationalistic jealousy there is also the jealousy of the old type of | polar explorer of the modern flying ex- plorer. Only an examination of Comdr. Byrd's own reports will decide the issue. “Until then let us hope that the world will be saved from an especially bitter disappointment.” The Radical Welt Am Abend refrains from entering the controversy, but pays highest tribute to Comdr. Byrd, saying: “It is remarkable how a man of 40 years is alert enough to undertake such strenuous and nerve-wrecking endur- ance flights under the most difficult weather conditions.” Maj. Gran will broadcast his point of view regarding Norway's claim to the South Pole from a Berlin radio station tomorrow night. Deutsche Aligemeine Zeitung: “There can be no question that Byrd's flight expedition did not take place as Byrd described it. Gran’s doubts are not sufficient to accuse of untruthfulness a man hitherto accepted as a serious explorer.” SPECIA PINK A Printing Service —offering exceptional for a discriminating 1210-1212 D ST_N.W.

This may have been the “Devil's Ball Room,” that dangerous area which Amundsen traversed. We passed over groups of haycocks, those small, rounded domes of snow which cover bottomless pits. Polar Snow Looks Softer. There were wind-formed sastrugi, ‘ar- row shaped, which appeared hard with knife edges and glistening more in the sun than in other snow surfaces. That area must havs been one of violent winds. Landing there would have been like landing among rocks. It was in great contrast to the surface we reach~d later, which was smooth and had the appearance of soft snow in an area of light winds. ‘While the mountains were still Joom- ing large on the left, we attempted a shot of the sun with the sextant to get its altitude and so give us a sun line that would cut our line of flight and at the point of intersection tell us what the sun had to s+ about our progress. But the air was »5t smooth enough and the 525-horsepower engine in the nose of the plane exerting its great force to keep two miles high scemed to add to | the weaving motion of the plane. Distance Too Short to Miss. It was impossible at this time to ! keep the sun and bubble in the sextant together long enough to get a de- pendable sizht. We hoped that things would be favorable later on. But this didn't worry us, for our distance was s0 short that we could hardly miss the objective. Qur altimeter showed us to be keep- ing about the same atmospheric pres- sure and we therefore were not chang- ing our altitude very much. The snow beneath us seemed to be getting farther away so we judged that the plateau was sloping down with a gentle incline. Back in the tail of the plane was a meteorgraph, recording change in tem- perature pressure and humidity, which after the flight would tell the whole story. We would know the exact mo- ment of taking off, the time of every subsequent change of altitude and the moment of landing at the mountain base in Little America. Amundsen Trail Is Beneath. Beneath us somewhere was the trail that Roald Amundsen, my friend, had blazed to the South Pole, a trail now buried far beneath the snow. My ad- miration for that great explorer in- creased tremendously when I saw with what he had to contend. In his honor and in honor of Bernt and other Nor- wegians at Little America, and the whalers who with such a great gen- erosity have helped us, we carried with us_the Norwegian flag. ‘We carried with us the French flag. We have not forgotten the extraor- dinary hospitality France showed the transatlantic flyers, nor the friendship demonstrated for the Americans in the face of the loss of their gallant fiyers who had set out on a more difficult feat. A half hour past midnight we again ‘tried to get an altitude of the sun. The sight was better this time and showed us to be close to our dead reckoning position. That was good. But there was still enough movement of the plane to prevent our being cer- tain of that sight., There was probably error in it and just how much we couldn’t tell. We felt confidence in our sun compass and drift indicator and luckily our sight did not change our calculations. Temperature Falls. The temperature seemed to be Yalling as we neared the pole. The mountains abaft the beam were fading now and clouds which may have covered unseen mountains showed on the horizon off the port bow. Harold was piloting and Bernt came aft to tell me that it wasn't quite so clear ahead and that we might find mist near the Pole. Once or twice 4ve thought we saw snow drift- ing beneath. An Antarctic storm seemed to be closing in on us, but we thought we could get back to the mountains ahead of it. It was a great plane with great en- gines. With reasonable luck we should beat the storm. My thoughts turned to Dubier, Roth and Demas back there at Little America who had conditioned them; to my friend, Edsel Ford, who had bullt the Floyd Bennett and who was the first man five years ago to en- courage and support my expeditions into the Polar regions. But the story would stop if I mentioned all those I thought of at that moment. Scott's Trail in Range.

In his memory and that of his gallant comrades and in honor of our cousin and friend, the British Empire, we car- ried with us the British flag. For a moment there flashed through my mind the fact that some had at- tempted to start a mild controversy covering territorial rights of the British Empire and the United States as a re- sult of our discoveries, ‘What a pity there could be_such a controversy! This is & peaceful and scientific mission trying to extend the boundaries of land and knowledge made gy those heroes who gave their lives ere. If the spirit of the expedition to- ward those gallant men and the na- tion that they represented could be { known and felt. it would add its «mite t toward furthering good fellowship, a | feligwship so vitally important now that our country has joined with other na- tions in a sincere effort to secure peace and harmony of the world. Big Moment Arrives. Barrier edge was now about four hours back. No -wonder the boys thought I was flying beyond the Pole, which was only a little more than 300 miles from the Barrier's edge. The wind had caused us to take longer than we had expected, but at last the big moment had come, That imagthary point—the ver:* bot- tom of the world—was, according o my reckoning, somewhere beneath and within our view. I handed Harold the following message to radio to our com- rades at Little America: “My calcula- tions indicate we have reached the vi- cinity of the South Pole. Flying high for survey. Soon turn north.” Bernt turned the nose of the plane to she right while I attempted to get the altiude of the sun with the sextant, but there was now far too much move- ment of the plane for results. We knew exactly what the altitude of the sun should be since the altitude of the sun’s center at any moment at the Pole is equal to the declination of the sun, which at that time was 21 degrees and 27 minutes. The sun circles that point without any noticeable change in alti- tude. We flew on to the right for five or six miles then circled and flew left for an equal distance and followed our original line of flight five or six miles farther. Wanted to Go 50 Miles Beyond. * I had wanted to go 50 miles beyond the Pole instead of a half dozen, but we had been a long time in reaching it. I saw Harold’s and Bernt's anxious eyes on the gasoline gauges. It wouldn't be fair to these fellows to go any farther. We turned the nose of the plane back toward Little America. When we reached the place at which we had turned right, we opened the trap door and dropped the American flag, weighted with a stone from Ben- nett's grave. We stood and saluted the spirit of our gallant comrade and our country’s flag. That little silk flag and that small stone lie together at the bot- tom of the world. ‘We were about 2,500 feet above the Pole and the .temperature had dropped to 15 degrees below zero. Visibility was good in most directions. But what was direction? All directions are north from the Pole. When we passed over the Pole we had l:hlngcd our time a whole day. Now we had changed it ck again. Must Hit Pass or Fail. We still had a job to do. The winds were gathering force. In a short time we could see more patches of drifting snow beneath us. | ‘We watched the sun compass and drift | indicator like hawks. We must hit| the mountain pass. On and on we| went. Time that seemed long before | crawled now. The first mountains to | the right, which had been clear on the | outward journey, were half covered with clouds. Mac photographed them. | Apparently the storm had just reached | through. * Bernt had increased the | motor revolution and the great Cyclone | engine was doing its stuff, ‘ We aimed our course a few degrees to the right so as to reach the Barrier more to the eastward than we had left it to get a better view of Carmen Land and to obtain survey photographs geo- graphically of great importance. Bernt Sights Entrance Pass. Suddenly Bernt gave a shout of joy. A little to our left was the pass we ha come through only partly cloud covered. and what we took for Axel Heiberg glacier was almost dead ahead.
