ULRICH T0 GO 10 SUPRENE COURT Will Garry Fight for Wile to Last Ditch Washington, Oct. 6 UP—Denied a writ of mandamus which would have forced the state department to issue & passport visa to his German wite, barred from the country on grounds of “moral turpitude,” John Munsell Ulrich of New Haven, Conn., through counsel turned to the United atates supreme court today in his fight to bring his wife to the United States. Joseph Koletsky, New Haven at- torney acting for Ulrich, had filed a petition for the writ in the supreme court of the District of Columbia, bringing the action against Secretary of Btates Frank B. Kellogg and Sec- ratary of Labor John J. Davis. As- soclate Justice Wendell P. Stafford denied the writ whereupon Koletsky filed bond for appeal to the United States supreme court. Convicted of Larceny Ulrich's wife was Anna Minna Venzke, daughter of a German offi- cer. Ulrich married her in Berlin in December. 1927, after he had filed notice with immigration officials of the United States that he intended to bring his bride to the United States. The passport visa had been authorized by Becretary Kellogg when Carelton Bailey Hurst, Ameri- can consul in Berlin, refused to is- sue it. He said that Miss Venske had been convicted of larceny of ar- ticles of clothing from a roommate several years before, and that this constituted violation of the *“moral turpitude” clause of the immigra- tion act. Ulrich, member of a wealthy New Haven family, is a grandson of Gail Borden, who headed a huge dairy corporation. Ulrich served in the World War and he said that wives of war veterans have unquestioned right to enter this country.

Has Little Dog With the little white dog that ac- companied Byrd and Floyd Bennett in their flight over the North Pole two years ago lying at his feet, the commander outlined for newspaper- men the plans and aspirations of the antarctic expedition. The undertaking, he pointed out at length, was not to be a “dash to the Bouth Pole” but would be a sclentific mapping and exploriag expedition that might last three years. Reaching the pole . alr would be only a hoped for dent of the work, he sald. “If 1 wanted to make a dagh, I could huve prepared in a moath or o, started much sooner than we in- tend to,” he said. “Instead we have been preparing for three years. When we get there, we thall stay and work. We can stay a year and a half easily; two years withowt difi- culty. 1T should like to stay for three vears. “Perhaps we shall. We might have to live on seals and penguins —but that's all right” The whaler Larsen is one of four ships of the expedition now CcOwl. verging on New Zealand, the others being the City of New York, wooden ice ship; the Eleanor Bok- ing and the Ross, carrying 100 sledge dogs. From New Zealand the expedi- tion will put out for the polar fce barrier and the bay of Whalew When the ships become ice block- ed the party will land and set up & base, using four portable houses w establish the permanent eolony.

By use of the photographs Byrd hopes to “fll in the blank spaces on the map” of the Antarctic. Dog teams also will be used in the explorations. An important part of the work, according to Byrd, will be meteor ology.
