Adm. Richard E. Byrd
Plans Another Expedition
To Antarctic Continent
CLEVELAND, UP—Adm. Rich
ard E. Byrd, 65, said today he “is
planning to return to the Antarctic
as soon as I can get together an
expedition.”
He told the Poultry and Egg
National Board at a breakfast
meeting that further exploration
of the south polar regions is im
portant from both the military
and economic standpoint.
“If the Panama Canal were
knocked out by an A-bomb, we
would have to get our ships from
the Atlantic into the Pacific
through the Strait of Magellan or
between Antarctica and South
.America,” Byrd said.
From the economic standpoint,
the retired U.S. Navy officer said,
“in the foreseeable future we will
be greatly in need of these re
sources (coal, uranium, oil, and
other minerals) that lie untouched
at the bottom of the world.”
Byrd, the first American to ex
plore the South Pole, first flew
there Nov. 29, 1929, and made
other trips there in 1933 and 1947.
SIN FORGIVEN
COLUMBIA, S.C., UP)—David
Joyner’s unusual plea on a drunk
enness charge paid off in city
court here Monday. He admitted
he was drunk but said he was on
his way to church.
“At least,” said the judge, “you
were headed in the right direction.
So drunk or sober, I’m going to
suspend your sentence.”

Roy Cohn Quits
McCarthy Group
WASHINGTON, UP)—Sen. Mc
Carthy Tuesday announced the
resignation of Hoy M. Cohn, chief
counsel of his Senate Investiga
tions Subcommittee and No. 1
target of members demanding a
staff shakeup.
McCarthy made the annoxtnce
ment in a statement just two
hours before a scheduled closed
door meeting at which committee
members seeking the scalps of
Cohn and others were set to seek
a showdown vote.
“The resignation of Roy Cohn
must bring great satisfaction to
the Communists and fellow trav
elers,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy made public a letter
in which Cohn said he was re
signing because “there appears to
be a lack of unanimity among the
members of the investigations
subcommittee upon the question
of continuing my services as chief
counsel.”
Actually, the committee was re
ported to be lined up 4-3 in favor
of firing Cohn.
The Chicago Tribune quoted
Cohn as saying: “I feel that my
helpfulness to the subcommittee
has been brought to the vanishing
point. In any future investigation
in which I appeared as chief
counsel, all the slanders voiced
against me would be repeated to
minimize the evidence presented.”
FIRE INTERUPTS BATHERS
PHILADELPHIA, UP)—A dozen
bathers were forced to leave the
swimming pool at the Meadow
lands Country Club in suburban
Ambler Monday—because of Are.
The blaze, a minor one, was in
a building adjoining the pool and
firemen needed the water.

Stevenson and Circus
Bring Record Crowds
To Fairbanks Streets
FAIRBANKS, U#—Adlai Stev
enson and Fairbanks’ first circus
brought out the city’s largest
crowd Monday and gave the city
street department a problem.
Hundreds jammed the streets to
get a glimpse of the 1952 Demo
cratic presidential candidate, who
rode in the circus parade, as well
as the clowns and elephants, and
the city ran out of traffic signs.
And with the temperature
nudging 80 degrees, Fairbanks
residents read and obeyed traffic
signs reading: “No Parking After
10 A.M.—Snow Removal.”
Later, at a reception given by
local Democrats for Stevenson and
E. L. (Bob' Bartlett, Alaska dele
gate to Congress, the former Illi
nois governor commented on the
parade, noting that his group had
preceded the elephants.
“The elephant,” he said,” is not
one of my favorite animals,” add
ing, “Bob and I are always willing
to lead the way.”
Stevenson told the group he had
found everything in Alaska a sur
prise from rain at Ketchikan to
summer heat here.
“A visit to Alaska is the fulfill
ment of an old ambition,” he said.
Stevenson said he was tremen
dously impressed with the enor
mous potential of Alaska in tim
ber and water power and the re
sourcefulness of people of the
territory.
