General Reports
On South Pole
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zea
land, 144—A month ago, Maj. Gen.
Chester E. McCarty, commander
of the U.S. 18th Air Force, was
flying over the North Pole.
About 7 p.m. last Thursday, he
left Christchurch in a Globemas
ter plane for the antarctic.
About 7 p.m. Friday, he was
flying over the South Pole.
About 7 p.m. Saturday he was
finishing dinner here after enjoy
ing a round of golf on a Christ
church course.
About 7 p.m. today he was back
from a fishing expedition at Han
mer springs, 80 miles form here.
In the 43 hours the Globemaster
was away from Christchurch, all
but 10 hours were spent in the
air. McCarty, of Greenville, S.C.,
had flown 16,000 nautical miles.
McCarty spent 67 minutes fly
ing back and forth over the pole.
He fixed its elevation at 10,350
feet—400 feet higher than Capt.
Robert F. Scott’s estimate of 1912.
His plane also dropped five
tons of fuel oil for a party to win
ter at the pole.
McCarty, who flew at 1,500 feet
in clear weather over the pole,
said the snow was packed so hard
he doubted it would be safe for
a parachute jump. Ridges formed
by the wind definitely precluded
wheeled aircraft, he said, but ski
equipped Dakotas should be able
to land.

Stevenson Says
GOP Asks People
To ‘Just Trust Ike’
By Ida AxociotMf Pr«i
Adlai Stevenson, in a speech
prepared for one of his West Coast
appearances, said Republicans
“know they can’t persuade the
people to trust the Republican
Party and so they say, ‘Just trust
Ike’.”
He said the GOP is “afraid” to
ask the people to trust the destiny
of the country to Vice President
Nixon, “the heir apparent.”
The Republicans say “just trust
Ike, and don't ask questions,”
Stevenson said, and added, “who
are we supposed to trust when
Eisenhower isn’t there?”
In a speech prepared for a
rally at Hagerstown, Md., Sen.
Kefauver said: “President Eisen
hower’s claims to the contrary,
your take home pay is simply not
keeping up with are galloping
prices you must pay for household
and living expenses.”
Stevenson’s California appear
ances followed speeches in New
Mexico and- Illinois Friday in
which he described administra
tion policies on the H-bomb as
“madness” and spoke of what he
called “spectacular larceny” in
Illinois GOP circles.
References to what he called
“spectacular larceny” in Illinois—
the theft of $lVfe million in state
funds for which Illinois State
Auditor Orville E. Hodge was
convicted—drew loud cheers in
Stevenson’s Rock Island speech.
Stevenson said Hodge “made
heavy contributions—(I wonder
whose money it was)—to the Re
publican Party war chest.” He
added he understood “that Presi
dent Eisenhower wrote Mr. Hodge
a personal thankyou note for his
I services to the party.”
