ELLSWORTH PLANS NEW POLAR FLIGHT Arranges 1938 Expedition on Opposite Side of Antarctica. 6pecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 26 (N.AN.A).— Lincoln Ellsworth, who fulfilled the dream of a lifetime when he flew across the Antarctic continent from the Wedell Sea to the Bay of Whales in the Ross Sea in December, 1935, has set himself a new goal—a flight as long and perilous across the opposite side of Antarctica, where the last great unexplored area of the earth lies. Mr. Ellsworth said he began dream- ing of this new flight on the way back from his last expedition. He has been working on it ever since, and “though a thousand things remain to be set- tled between now and the end of the chapter, I have gone this far in my plans as of today: “Taking no unpredictables into ac- count, the expedition will approach the barrier at Enderby Land in No- vember, 1938, take off during the lull in the winds that blow almost cease- lessly there, Araw a bead on the Bay of Whales, 2,500 miles away, and shoot for it Except for the first mile of the flight and the last few, we will be over completely unknown areas and the land ought to be rich in geo- graphic, geologic and econounic sur- prises.” Personnel Undecided. Mr. Ellsworth’s planning has not included the personnel of the expedi- tion yet, but he has sent the Wyatt Earp, supply ship of his other expedi- tions, to its home port in Norway to be refitted and refurbished. It is in drydock there now and will return to New York to pick up the plane to be used on the expedition. Mr. Ellsworth donated the one he used on his previ- ous flight to the Smithsonian Insti- tution and will purchase a new one | here. From New York the Wyatt Earp will sail for Capetown, South Africa, where Mr. Ellsworth will join it. Then Enderby Land and the @inknown. Mr. Ellsworth pointed out that the continent of Antarctica was first touched at Enderby Land in 1831 by | Capt. John Biscoe, R. N. who was | sent to that region by the London whaling and sealing firm of Enderby Bros. . “Since that time,” he said, “the whole line has been explored, but no | one has ever been more than a mile fnland. There might be mountains there, a high plateau—well, anything at all. “It is a much worse region than the Wedell Sea, climatically, and therefore the present flight will be even more speculative than the last one. The pack ice there is denser, more tenacious, the winds more savage. But I think a flight can be made. I wouldn’t be thinking of it at all if | 1 didn’t think it could be done.” Will Fill in Blank. The practical accomplishments of the new expedition will not be as great as those of the last one, when Mr. Ellsworth added 350,000 square miles to United States territory. “All we will be doing now is filling in a | blank and theoretical space on the | map with facts. The land, though never explored, has been claimed by Australia by virtue of coastal dis- coveries.” Mr. Ellsworth was asked if he re- garded a blank space on the map as such a major irritant that it was worth risking his life to remove. “Now,” he replied, “you have opened up the whole subject of the ‘why’ of Antarctic exploration. Fundamental- | 1y, I suppose, I go down there because that's the way I am, the way I live and want to live, because that's my career. “But the Antarctic is land, and land, wherever it is, is valuable. People seem to think that, because! it’s ice-capped, it's worth nothing and besides there are troubles enough to occupy us on the habitable part of the globe. But isn’t that exactly the way people felt when the Western Hemisphere was being opened by ex- plorers? North America was tree- covered, an unknown, a wilderness, valueless, and Europe had troubles enough of its own. So the richest “Death Party” A new picture of Mrs. Helen who was found dead in the kit York as more than 100 “guests” THE EVENING a Coincidence Kim Mont, pretty actress-bride, chen of her apartment in New gathered in the lobby below to attend a “mystery cocktail party.” —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. Party Suicide Is Regarded as A Coincidence Death of Actress Not Linked With Chain- Letter Guests. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 26.—The simple label of “coincidence” was placed by police today upon the suicide of a 25- year-old actress and the gathering of about 100 party-bound “‘mystery | guests” in the lobby of her Park ave- | nue apartment house while she was inhaling gas. The actress was Mrs. Helen Kim | Mont, one-month bride of James Mont, | fashionable interior decorator. Police closed the case, which at first ap- peared to have elements of a mystery thriller, with assertion that the phan- ton party and the suicide were uncon- nected. The party guests assembled in the lobby as the result of a chain-letter hoax perpetrated by bored Park ave- nue funsters, police indicated. The invitations were sent out merely nam- ing the Park avenue address, and not Mrs. Mont's apartment, and no “guests” were found who knew Mrs. Mont. The actress herself was unaware of | the crowd in the lobby, police said, and it was only coincidence that she took her life as they gathered, won- dering when the festivities would be- gin. Police said Mrs. Mont left a suicide note, the contents of which they did not reveal. Fidelity (Continued From First Page.) stitute a first board of directors of the new association.

Land Worth Having. “I don't know that Antartica will ever become earth’s next ‘new world.” But I know that its land are worth having, rich land, and thus doubly worth having. Only pin-pricks have been made at its surface and already huge, thick coal deposits have been discovered, lead, tin, copper. Who knows what isn't there and who knows what the next 50 or 100 or 200 years will bring in the way of inventions to make Antarctica’s resource easily ac- cessible and in the way of a shortage of our own resources to make Ant- arctica’s desirable? “Once, and not so long ago as geologists reckon time, Antarctica was e tropical land, a sunlit storehouse of the earth’s treasure. I found fos- sils there of sequoia wood, pecked and holed by insect life, and fossils of crayfish, lobster, clams and oysters. Disaster came to it overnight—How 1 don’t know—but those animals I found had all died suddenly. They had been fat little beasts and they died fat and not of starvation. Maybe, by some coincidence, they all died of overeating. “But one thing is certain, and that is uncertainty. The blight that was laid upon Antarctica may remain for- ever, but the chances are just as good that it will not. Who cali. say that the day will not return when Ant- arctica will once more become tropi- cal and the continert—nearly as large as North America—will emerge as the hope of the world?” Mr. Ellsworth's discovery of the area known as James W. Ellsworth Land and Rear Admirel Richard E. Byrd’s discovery of the area known as Marie Byrd Land do not automatically give title to the United States. Con- gress must first file a formal claim, and it has not yet moved to do so. Copyright, 1937.) —_— LAMENTS LIGHT EATING Waiter Declares Senators Now Only Order Sandwiches. Paul Johnson, colored waiter in the Senate Restaurant for 38 years, la- mented today the disappearance of “real eating.” “These young Senators,” he said, “are so modernistic they just order & sandwich without even looking at the menu. It used to be they down and ate & full course dlnnea The new board will elect officers, qualify the new institution as a mem- ber of the Winston-Salem Federal Home Loan Bank, put up $20,000 as the first capital of the new association in order to qualify for insurance of accounts in the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp., and then pro- | pose to the controller of the currency, who is in charge of the closed Fidelity, purchase of Fidelity's assets. This pur- chase must go before the court before approval. In their letter of resignation, the four men reported they were “happy now to know definitely that our pro- posal to conserve the assets” of the Fidelity, “through reorganization,” has been accepted. They found the board, they said, “to be functioning determinedly and effectively in the public interest.” “Be assured,” they continued, “that our joining with eight others in filing the application for the incorporation of the proposed First Federal Savings & Loan Association and our recent substantial subscription to the $20,000 fund legally required for the purpose of insuring the depositors’ funds in this new institution are but additional tangible proof of our determination to give of the best that we have, in every way, to protect the interests of thousands of shareholders that have so manifestly depended on us.” The men expressed appreciation of the board’s “high commendations of our motives” and said that, since the reorganization proposal had been ac- cepted, “we request that our names be not considered as members of the new Board of Directors.” They pledged themselves to serve the new institution “faithfully in any way we may be called upon in the future” and appealed to “every loyal shareholder of the old Fidelity to give their unstinted support to the new First Federal.” SALVATION ARMY UNIT PRAISED BY SPEAKERS George P.
