The rumor, thrown out by t- ative Simmons, was neither directly confirmed nor denied, but it brought from Maj. Donald A.

By the Assoclated Press. DUNEDIN, New Zealand, March 18. —The three-fold vlllle of ndln to the Annrcuc expedition Rear Admiral hard E. Byrd was ducrlbed today lfl leut Malcolm Hanson, radio engineer attached to the aircraft radio section of the naval research laboratory at Ana- costia, D. C. In an interview, he said that radio had provided a highly important chain of safety by making possible communi- cation between flying and dog parties and the base. In the second place, it had made for efficlency in the handling of the expe- dition’s affairs getween the base at Little America, the ships, and Dunedin and New York. Every day Admiral Byrd had dictated letters as though in an office in New York, and business with the United States could be com- pleted at a moment’s notice. Keeps Up Morale. The third value of radio was in: con- nection with the morale of the men. Lieut. Hanson said in general, radio made an exceedingly vn.l\uble contribu- tion to keeping up their spirits.. They were able to keep in continuous touch with their families and friends, and at the same time the families were saved from anxiety by reading daily in the newspapers nbou;pt,:del t-‘ctivmes and the rogress of the e jon. % Lieut. Hanson thought that perhaps the greatest advance from the point of view of radio as a sclence was shown not only in the ease with which the expedition was able to reach stations in any part of the world on short-wave lengths, but in the experimenting done to determine the wave length necessary for a particular season and time of day. The wave lengths used varied between 15 and 68 meters, most of the communications being handled on 27 and 34 meters. Direction Finders Valuable. Radio direction finders had proved to be very valuable and were extensive- 1y used in navigating ships through the ice to Little America. Owing to the e uncertainty of the m.mum func- the Antarctic radio had a tion to fulfill in this respect. Communication with the base of Sir George Hubert Wilkins on Deception Island had been attem] successful, owing to ditions. Attempts the expedition of Sir Douglas Mawson also were unsuccessful. Measurement taken at the it ice barrier revealed the interesting fact that signals from the United States and South America often were louder than those from a set 10 miles from the base on certain wave lengths. — SHORTRIDGE JOINS LAW FRATERNITY |Is Taken Into Georgetown U.
