Seven Antarctic Bases
Costly to U. S. in Preparing
For IGY Survey Program
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zeal
and, LP) — Rear Adm. George Du
dek said Monday night the United
States has spent more than 50 mil
lion dollars to build seven Antarc
tic bases, man them and supply
them with fuel, food and other
stores in preparation for the
opening of the International Geo
physical Year on July 1.
Dufek, commander of U. S.
Task Force 43 in Operation Deep
Freeze, arrived in Christchurch
aboard the last aircraft to leave
Antarctic ice this season.
He said although the 12 nations
involved in the Antarctic section
of IGY have already accomplished
a tremendous task in building
bases and photographing the con
tinent, less than two-tenths of 1
per cent of the six million square
mile area has been geologically
surveyed.
City Council
Takes Stand on
Alaska Legislation
The Nome City Council met
Monday evening and studied sev
eral bills now before the Legisla
ture which have been referred to
them by legislators from this Di-1
'vision.
The Council took action oppos
ing the $1,300,000 recommended
appropriation for student trans
portation in the other three divi
sions, urging that this amount be
cut down and the difference be
added to teacdier salaries.
No action was taken on the
Territorial Sales Tax. as it was
not clear how this conflicted with
the city sales tax.
The Council advised the legis
lators they favored the passage of
the fire protection bills, including
the important arson bill and in
surance protection for fighting
fires outside of city limits.
Plans were discussed for the
tearing down of the old A N S
school, which is an eye-sore and
a fire hazard.

ing would be required, corres

Western Legation
Visitors Detained
By Hungary Reds
BUDAPEST, UR — Western dip
lomats consulted today on what
to do about detention by Commu
nist police of Hungarian visitors
to their offices.
The detentions, begun Monday,
continued at short distances from
the United States, British, French
and Austrian Legations. Hundreds
of Hungarians obviously have
been stopped for questioning.
Foreigners generally were not
molested.
This correspondent, however,
was halted by a plainclothes po
liceman less than five minutes
after leaving the U. S. Legation
Tuesday morning. As soon as the
plainclothesmam saw the green
cover of an American passport, he
smiled and waved me on.
Hungarian police normally sta
tioned at the Legation doors ap
parently signal to plainclothes
men outside as the visitors
emerge. A block away or around
the corner the Hungarians are
halted, questioned briefly and—
in most cases—loaded into wait
ing trucks. Some are not detained.

Three Fires Ravage
Oh;o City in 12 Hours
CLEVELAND, Iff) — A residen
tial fire killed a baby, a huge in
dustrial fire caused heavy proper
ty losses, and a third blaze early
Tuesday wrecked a seafood res
taurant on a Cleveland pier.
The three major fires struck in
less than 12 hours, beginning Feb.
25 night with Plant No. 1 of the
Glidden Co. of the West Side. The
property loss in this blaze was
nearly 2Vz million dollars. Fifty
employes at the plant followed
their safety rules and got out of j
the structure before flames and
explosions erupted through the
building. It was the biggest blaze
in the city during the last decade.
Bodies of U.S. Servicemen
Found Beneath Wreckage
Of Crashed Globemaster
SEOUL, Iff)—Salvage crews yes
terday spotted three to five bodies
of American servicemen beneath
the ice-covered wreckage of a
US. Air Force Globemaster that
crashed on a sand bar in the Han
River Friday night.
Nine bodies already have been
recovered. Twenty-eight of the
137 survivors still are hospital
ized. The plane was enroute to
Japan with 159 Americans aboard.
Investigators said it was diffi
cult to say definitely how many
bodies remained beneath the
plane because of ice lumps block
ing their view. The bodies could
not be recovered yesterday be
cause a giant tide from the Yellow
Sea pushed up the Han River and
submerged the wreckage.
London Reporter
Says Stalin Was
‘On Verge of War’
LONDON, W — The Daily Tele
graph said yesterday Joseph Sta
lin was on the verge of plunging
the Soviet Union into war with
the West when his death inter
vened in March, 1953.
David Floyd, a telegraph re
porter recently in Moscow, said
he was told this by a high Com
munist source “who had occupied
for many years positions of re
sponsibility in the. Soviet regime.”
The source declared the brain
hemorrhage which ended Stalin’s
lief was caused by rage at sign
ing of the Balkan treaty between
Greece, Turkey and Yugoslavia
by the independent-minded Com
munist, Marshal Tito.
“In 1950 Stalin deliberately
provoked the Korean War with
the intention of engaging the
Americans in the Far East while
he proceeded with his conquests
in Europe,” Floyd said he was
informed.
A British explorer, Captain
James Cook, was first to sight
the ice mass surrounding Antarc
tica, during a circumnavigating
trip in 1770.
