# 0TI * BYRD'S GEOLOGITS PUSHTOWARD CAMP Mystery Develops at Base as Meteorologist’s Kites Vanish in Wind. BY RUSSELL OWEN. (By Radio to The Star and the New York LITTLE A, Antarotica, Jan- uary 6—Dr. Lawrence Gould and the other members of the Byrd geological party have reached 82 .degrees 16 minutes on their trip- north ¢ the | 7Y camp, apparently making very good time. +(This point is near Depot No. 4, which i half way along the 400-mile | Jjourney to Little America from the foot of the Queen Maid Mountains, where Dr. Gould began the return trek about & week ago.) “Although Dr. Gould's message of this morning to Admiral Byrd reports soft snow during the past few days, .the dogs are holding out well.

Two of them, the most important two, have gone southward on.their own and are some- where between here and the Pole.

When Bill started sending them up nnd Iaboriously hauling them down, he ‘!'m going to be like Tom Sawyer vllnun: the fence. You fellows are going to think that's 8o much fun you'll all be fighting to fly Kites.” Heavy Work for Data Aleft. But it did not work out that way and kite flying has been the hardest form of labor yet found in the Ant- arctic. It even beat shoveling snow. Just the same, 35 kite flights have been made and some interesting data collect- ed, and in addition six records have been mnde on llrpllne flights. The kites carry a meteorograph which TS ll'.ltud!, temperature and shows the mm in the of great value logist. why Bill and Harry, as ir kites are reel they may cherish a secret thank- fulness. Nobody dares ask them. Kites Soar Far in Icy Wind. Harrison had bullt a snow hut well away from the radio towers, where the big box kites were assembled and the reel and wire were fastened to a foundation to hold firmly.

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Herbert Hoover have sponsored the “little house” here, a laboratory in which Girl Scouts may learn how homes should appear, and the idea has spread far and wide in that organization, Among those who set aside time to- day to go through “better homes in America” reports and participate in the annual election of directors were Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Children's Bureau; Mrs. William Brown Melady of New York, founder of the movement; James 8.

C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1930, : BLEASE DROPS WAR ON CAPITAL CRIME Senator Says He Will Make No More Efforts to Improve Conditions Here. After launching one more broadside in support of his claim that crime is widespread in Washington, Senator Cole Blease, Democrat of South Caro- lina, informed the Senate late yester- day afternoon that he will make no further efforts either on the floor of the Senate or elsewhere to improve conditions here. Senator Blease called attention to a book, which he described as “the dirtiest thing I have ever read,” and which he said was circulated in Wash- ington where it might be read by chil- dren.

Senator Blease referred to the fact that he recently declined to go before the grand jury, explaining tmt he de- clined because he knew nothing per- sonally and “only received such infor- mation as I had from officers and others who were familiar with condi- tions in this ecity; consequently, had I gone there, any evidence which I might hute offered would have been incompe- The Senator said the data he turned over to the Senate District commi ttee , meum uo represented all the infor- he had to give to the public. He ulfl he presumed this information would be used by the committee in its investigation. In conclusion, Senator Blease said he had received no encouragement in his efforts, but that “certain so-called citi- zens’ associations held meetings and eriticized what was being said in refer- ence to law enforcement in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” He insisted that he had no de to injure the city of ashington or the United States Gov- A thly valued heirloom of the United States Senate is the solid ivory v:l which has been in use since the unding of the Government.
