Operation Deep
Freeze Running
Out of Gasoline
BY DON GUY
McMURDO SOUND, Antarc- I
tica, UP—Operation Deep Freeze
is running out of gas, and 75
U. S. Air Force crewmen are
grinning about it.
Instead of a white Christmas
in Antarctica, they will fly to
sunny New Zealand to fill the
tanks of their mammoth 90-ton
C-124 Globemasters. There won’t
be many Christmas trees, but—
with summer just starting in that
country — they can bask on the
beach for a day or two.
The steady depletion of the big
tanks at McMurdo Sound will not
seriously hamper the job of
building scientific stations for
study of this icebound continent
during the International Geo
physical Year.
A tanker carrying 600,000 gal
lons is enroute here from New
Zealand, following the U.S. Ice
breaker Glacier through the Ant
arctic ice pack.
Meanwhile, the Air Force has
decided to service its five Globe
masters at Christchurch, N. Z.
That will give the crews a brfef
respite from the Antarctic’s per
petual snow and cold.
The Globemasters have been
shuttling to the South Pole, 000
miles from here, to airdrop
building material for a U.S. base.
Each trip consumes 6,000 gallons
of gasoline.

ALBANY, Ore., 141 — A Grey

gers swerved off the highway
and landed on its side in a ditch
early Tuesday.
Twenty were injured but none
critically.

Other passengers included Dale
Brouillard, Petersburg.
The accident happened on
Highway 99 at Tangent, eight
| miles south of Albany. Walter
Metzger, Portland, driver of the
southbound bus, said the acci
dent occurred after a vehicle in
front of him stopped suddenly to
make a left turn and a wheel of
the bus' apparently locked as he
braived.
