'BYRD STARTS OFF FOR SOUTH POLE {Commander Leaves San Pedro On Exploration Trip San Pedro, Cal, Oct. 11 P— Down the trail that always has call- ed him, Commander Richard E. Byrd today was bound for the bot- tom ®f the earth in search of adveu- ture fused with scientific explora- tion. Away at least on his long-planr.ed expedition to tNe antarctic the com- mander and the remainder of his | hand-picked followers were aboard the Norwegian whaler C. A. Larsen, |bound for New Zealand, common | later this year will push on dowa {into the antarctic circle. Ross Sca Objective Ross sea was the immediate ob- jective of the commander, who later | hopes to cross the south pole by air ;in the same manner he and the late Floyd Bennett, reached the north {pole. More important in the an- nounced plans of the Byrd expedi- {tlon, however, was a long, intensive study of the antarctic that may keep the party exiled in the fcy wastes for two years or more. ‘Westward with the setting sun the glant whaler, last of the vessels to leave American waters, slipped | through harbor channel last night {amid a bedlam of farewells from whistling harbor craft and crowds that lined the piers. The shril whistle of street cars was even rals- ed in sending forth godspeed to the explorers. Frequently the 18,000 ton whaler gave back a booming answer. Poses for Pictures The last minutes of Byrd and members of his party on American soil had been given over to official farewells, to newspaper interviews, posing for pictures, for motion pic- ture and news cameras and even a few minutes for the talking movies. Modern communication methods made it possible for the command- er to have farewell talks with his mother, Mrs. R. E. Byrd, in Win- cheater, Va., and his brother, Gov- ernor Harry Byrd at Richmond, Va. The telephone company had brought a special line aboard ship to make this possible, As the boat threw off its lines, it elipped away from the dock with- out the commander. A moment pre- viously he had stepped ashore for another farewell word with his wife. She had accompanied him to tlg dock an hour before and waited in an automobile until he had boarded the ship. Bmilingly she refused to pose for the army of cameramen who had been striving to snap a plcture of the coupe together. The last leave taking was a simple handclasp, an exchange of steady |looks and a few words. Then each turned to their jobs—Byrd's two or even three years of “fillil blank spaces of the map, has made motoring history. It proved that a car could be beautiful, enduring, swift, powerful, economical and comfortable. It made possi- ble the purchase of all the desirable qualities of motor- ing in one car.

Uses Speed Beat A speed boat was preased into ser- vice by Commander Byrd to over- take the big whaler and he was hauled to the deck over the stern which hung low in the water with the boat’s’ 10,000 ton cargo. Searchlights of the battle fleet blinked théir good wishes and Com- mander Byrd watched them as they flashed code messages. Tugs and small boats and & coast guard cutter with a band followed the Larsen to the breakwater, a cou- pile of miles from the point where she had been docked. In the outer harbor the whaler stopped to pick upa couple sling loads of explosives which she had purked on a barge when she had entered the port. She then turned out to sea and was on her way. A part of the Larsen's cargo was made up of articles thrust upun Byrd in the last moments before sailing with instructions to drop them at the south pole, There were many flags, lodge emblems, frat>r- nity colors, bits of jewelry—every- thing, & member of the party laurh- ingly sald, except a sign post for the city limits of Los Angeles. Mother Died The final moments of the depar- ture brought sorrow for one member of Byrd's party. Charles Lofgren, Byrd's secretary, was notified that his mother, Mrs. Anna Lofgren, had died in Everett, Mass., yesterday morning. Members of Byrd's party included Harold 1. June, Bernt 8. Balchen and Dean Smith, airplane pilots; E. J. Demas, K. F. Bubier, Jeremiah De Cecca, airplane me- chanics: Martin Ronn, sailmaker; Richard J. Brophy, business man- ager; Ralph Shropshire, hydro- grapher; Captain Alton Parker, U. 8. M. C., aviator; Sergeant Benja- min Rother, mechanic; Ruasell Owen, New York newspaperman; ‘Willlam Vanderveer, photographer, and Lofgren. The Byrd expedition will establish a land base in the antarctie from which the four planes being carried south by the Larsen will opérete in mapping the icy wastes. A -flight probably will be made over the south pole. But Byrd has said this is only incidental to the chief pur- pose of the expedition. His last message before sailing was that the expedition is not a race for the pole. He said he would render all possible co-operation to Sir Hubert Wilkins, the Australian, who s planning on flying over the pole.

J., Oct. 11, —~(M— A picture of a future American gas industry producing both heat and cold at the same plant was drawn at the American Gas assoclation con. vention here today by Dr. Arthur D. Little, chemiat, of Cambridge, Mass. He sald that revolutionary de- veldping in chemistry of gas may make it possible to produce & harm- less form of flluminating gas which may be breathed in quantity without ddhger of discomfort. By-products from this non-asphyxiating gas would include solid carbon diexide, which is “dry ice,” ” “Solid carbon dioxide,” Dr. Lit- tle said,“is now selling at from five to 10 cents a pound. If the price could be reduced to two cents, an unlimited fleld for its use would be opened.” od He expressed the opinion that gas plants of the future would manufac- turo basic chemicals and probably motor fuels, At All Meals A deliclous cup of SALADA gives an added pleasure to all meals of , the day "SALADA® Cloud is a skillful blending of all that is best in mod® em engineering practice and modern design.
