1HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1930. NEW HONORS WA BYRD IN VRGN Leaves for Richmond After| Presentation of Medal by President Hoover. From First Page.) (Continue started out with me has returned— that we left not a single man on the ice—and that every one is here tonight.” “Such a_thing ratisfies the heart." | he asserted. as the auditorium broke into a storm of applause. Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of | the National Geographic Society, who presided, explained that the special | medal was necessitated by the fact that Byrd already possesses the society's Hubbard gold medal. which has been | awarded to only eight men. The Hub- | bard medal was given Byrd for his serial conquest of the North Pole. Respects Paid Entire Crew. | Dr. Grosvenor paid his respects to the entire command of 80 bronzed men who composed the expedition. The husky veterans of the Antarctic were seated on the platform during the cere- monies, and they squirmed “uncom- fortably as all eves were directed upon them and all hands clapped acclaim. In introducing President Hoover, Dr. Grosvenor evoked applause by referring to the President as an “experienced world traveler” himself, whose visits to the far ends of the earth have in- cluded virtually every point but the two Ppoles. “If there had been starving children or unhappy human beings to relieve in those bleak places, however,” Dr. Gros- venor remarked, “it is probable that Herbert Hoover would have managed to get there somehow.” Dr. Grosvenor expressed regret that Mrs. Hoover was unable to be present, and told of her active interest in the society as a member for 28 years. The audience obtained an_ astound- ingly impressive idea of the hardships involved in Antarctic exploration from the remarkable motion picture film of the expedition, which had its first showing last night. It was the first time, too, that Byrd and the members of his party had seen the reels, for they were rushed to America ahead of the main party and developed in New ‘York. The pictures are synchronized with studio sound effects that add materially to the effectiveness of the film, and the final dash over the pole by airplane is | described by the vcice of Floyd Gib- bons, veteran correspondent. Spectacular Shots Taken. Made by professional movie men, the | Im is replete with spectacular shots rom beginning to end. Blizzards which howled over the fragile planes and huts of the settlement in Little America were faithfully reproduced on the screen. The collapse of an ice wall and the subse- quent rescue of a member of the party who was precipitated into the icy polar sea is depicted. Amusing shots of curi- osity-filled penguins, frolicking whales and seals were interspersed. There wi pathos, too, in the execution of “Spy. lead-dog of one of the sledge teams, who broke a foot on the ice, but struggled onward until felled by exhaustion. The climax of the show, of course, was the film record of the epochal flight to the Pole and return. The battle of Balchen to clear the forbid- ding mountain fastnesses of the polar plateau was shown by the camera car- ried on the flight, and the great mo- ment when the tri-motored ship arrived over the Pole, followed by the drop- ping of a weighted American flag in memory of Floyd Bennett, Byrd’s North Pole pilot, was a gripping feature. In his report to the society last night Admiral Byrd described Antarctica as “the last uninhabited frontier of the world.” whose “vast extent” has been scarcely touched. “After all,” he said, “there is little in the experiences of those of us who live in temperate climes to enable us to envisage the true aspects of Ant- arctica. Much of it has never been seen, much less explored. Its bound- aries to a large extent are theoretical and its area is an estimate. This, and its remoteness from the world centers, have contrived to give it a suggestion of unreality. { | Population Is Transient. “No life exists there except sojourn- ing penguins, gulls, seals, certain forms of microscopic life and the whales ‘which have found in adjoining waters a last retreat. The only population that this immense continent has known is the transitory communities of exploring parties, and the whalers and sealers, ‘Wwho have landed briefly on its coasts. “In Winter it is perhaps the dreariest of places. Our base, Little America, lay in a bowl of ice, near the edge of the Ross Ice Barrier. The temperature fell as low as 72 degrees below zero. One could actually hear one'’s breath freeze. “Yet we did not suffer unduly. Not nearly as much, that is, as other ex- ploring parties have suffered. Because this was an expedition directed toward scientific fact-finding, we took ad- vantage of the experiences of our pred- ecessors and the comforts provided by modern ingenuity. And we proved it is possible for human beings to live in polar regions without extraordinary hardship.” Admiral Byrd answered the ques- tion “Why did you go there?” with the observation that “As long as any part of the world remains obscure, the curi- osity of man must draw him there, as SPECIAL NOTICE RETURN LOAD RATES TO AND FROM any part of the country.

Surveyed 100,000 Square Miles. Byrd told the society's guests that 7.100 miles were flown over during the long stay on the ice, that 2.100 miles were covered by dog team and that the total area surveyed and investigated covers approximately 100,000 square miles. “New land and new mountain ranges were discovered and large portions of the Ross Ice Barrier explored,” h> said. “‘Marie Byrd Land lies east of the 150th claimed by Great Britain. It was first observed on a flight December 18, 1928, and claimed in the name of the United States. “Then, on December 5, 1929, after five unsuccessful attempts, we succeeded in flying over the theretofore impene- trable area on the eastern coast of the Ross Sca. Here, beyond the ice islands and the shelf ice that have turned back all explorers since Sir James Clark Ress, we discovered, first, a mag- nificent range of mountains and, nex* an extensive coast contiguous with and providing access to the plateau of which Marie Byrd Land is a southern boundary. This area also lies outside the Ross dependency. Land Claimed for America. “Finally, the geological party, under Prof. Gould, penetrated Marie Byrd Land and claimed it for the United States.” dispelled *“certain erroneous concep- tions"—for example, that “Carmen Land,” reported by Amundsen, exists, at least to the extent shown in maps. This and other contrary findings, he emphasized, must not be considered as reflecting on Amundsen, whose range of vision was limited to what he could see from the ground. ‘The admiral said the complete find- ings of the expedition would be in- corporated in four volumes. He has instructed his companions to begin at once on their portions of the narrative. Byrd will contribute a chapter on geographical phases. On the platform last night, in addi- tion to President Hoover, Dr. Grosve- nor, and members of the expedition, were the President’s younger son, Allan Hoover, Dr. John Oliver LaGorce, vice president of the National Geographic Society, and a number of the White House staff, including Secretary George Akerson. Grouped in boxes at the side were Vice President Curtis and his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann; Secretary Mellon, Attorney General Mitchell, Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, and a number of other officials with their wives. When the film was shown those on the platform took reserved seats in front of the stage. Ceremonies Broadcast. national network of the National Broad- casting Co. Yesterday afternoon, at Arlington, Byrd placed memorial wreaths on the tombs of Admiral Peary, Bennett, Admiral Wilkes and Col. Lester Jones, late chief of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Peary was first to discover the North Pole, Bennett was to have been Byrd's pilot to the South Pole and Wilkes was America’s pioneer explorer. Earller in the afternoon he was given a rousing ovation at the Capitol, which he and his men visited at the special invitation of Vice President Curtis and Speaker Longworth. Not long after Byrd's visit to the Capitol the House passed a bill appro- priating $6,560 for Congressional Medals of Honor to be awarded members of the party. The medals will be of gold, silver and bronze. Byrd will be con- sulted regarding their design. Col. and Mrs. Lindburgh could not attend the ceremonies in the Audito- rium, but sent the following message to Dr. Grosvenor: “‘Mrs. Lindbergh and I deeply appre- ciate your invitation to attend the Na- tional Geographic Society’s reception e to Admiral Byrd. We regret very much that it is not possible for us to be pres: ent and take part in honoring Admiral 0 Byrd for his latest great achievement. The platform last night was deco- rated with the American flag and the official flags of the National Geographic Soclety and the Byrd Antarctic Expe- dition. The Byrd flag bears a globe, around the equator of which is in- scribed the name of the expedition and across the upper half of which is a plane In flight. This is the official in- signia of the party. VIRGINIA PREPARES WELCOME. Fellow Citizens From Far Corners of State Gather for Homecoming.

They searched him and the apartment without find- ing the gun. A later search of the lawn beneath the window of the apartment, | however, resulted in the recovery of a heavy-caliber revolver.
