Duck Hunter
Seriously Hurt by
Low-Flying Plane
NORFOLK, Va. UV-While duck

torney was injured seriously by
the wing tip of a low-flying plane.
The attorney, Edward R. Baird,
suffered a skull fracture and a
mutilated left hand. With him in
the duck blind, but not injured,
was his son, Edward Baird Jr.
Police gave this account:
The elder Baird’s nephew, Ed
ward B. Sggar, 22, pilot of the
small plane, said he was trying to
land a note, enclosed in a cup,
into the duck blind. The contents
of the note, or whether it actually
dropped, was not determined.
Segar also was quoted as saying
he thought his plane had been
shot at but found the wing tip
dented when he landed. He said
he didn’t actually know what had
happened until he reached home.
Baird apparently had been try
ing to wave the plane away.
The attorney was taken to a
hospital by his son and two near
by hunters. Following surgery his
condition was termed “satisfac
tory.”
Demo Official Says West
Should Not Be Treated
Like an Eastern Province
LOS ANGELES, ti'Pt—'The W=st
should no longer be treated like
“a province of the East,” says
Paul Ziffren, California Demo
cratic national committeeman.
Ziffren said in an interview
Friday that he hopes to focus the j
attention of party leaders on the
West at a meeting of the execu
tive committee today.
“I am going to ask the commit
tee to set up some kind of a west
ern regional conference,” he said.
Ziffren cited freight rate differ
entials between East and West
and differentials in interest rates
as examples of what he called the
provincial status of the West.
The Beverly Hills attorney has
previously said he believes *he
nation is entering an “age of the
Pacific,” during which America’s
interests will shift from east to
west.

Air Force Tech Sergeant
Needed at South Pole
To Help Build Airfield
By DON GUY
McMURDO SOUND, Antarctica
—The U.S. artarctic expedition
rnay have to ask a St. Louis tech
nical sergeant in the Air Force to
parachute to the South Pole and
help in the construction of a sci
entific outpost.
Bad weather has delayed plane
landings at the bottom of the
world to supply the little task
force there trying to build a scien
tific station.
T. Sgt. Richard J. Patton of St.
Louis and Donaldson A F B in
South Carolina may be asked to
parachute to the two-mile-high
polar plateau. He would help
clear a landing place for the huge
Globemaster planes carrying per
sonnel and material for building
the scientific station.
Dr. Paul A. Siple of North Ar
lington. Va., deputy to Rear Adm.
Richard E. Byrd in the U.S. ant
arctic program, has been trying
to land at the pole with 16 con
struction crewmen in some Dako
ta planes. The weather has foiled
the plans so far.
Siple will head the U.S. Inter
national Geophysical Year station
at the South Pole. He is not
scheduled to return until a year
from next February.
• ♦ *
This polar colony swelled to 19
men today with the arrival of two
planeloads of construction work
ers.
The new ariivals joined eight
men who had been living in tents
on the below-zero plateau since
Tuesday and Sgt. Patton. Patton
had volunteered to jump in to
direct Globemasters which will
parachute 450 tons of supplies.
Two ski-equipped Navy Dako
tas landed the 10 construction
workers, taking off again for the
main Operation Deepfreeze base
at McMurdo Sound after 30 min
utes on the polar snow.
