To a question about the future of Little America, Byrd said: "I think this will be a perman ent thing from now on. I think this is the beginning of permanent bases, permanent little villages down there. I don't think Little America will be such a lonely place from now on." f He estimated that about 500 per sons might man tne permanent system of villages, mostly civil ians who would remain for two or three years, then be replaced by others. The rest, about 10 per cent, would be military personnel. Strategic Value He was asked, in connection with the permanent bases, if he thought Little America had stra tegic value. His answer was: "If the Panama Canal should be destroyed, our ships on the way to the Pacific would have to go around South America. (The edge of the Antarctic area is only about 300 miles away.) iWe would have control of that area." . Byrd will leave here Friday morning for San Francisco and New Zealand by commercial air line. Qvil Rights Union to Fight For Burlesque NEW YORK (AP) The New York Civil Liberties Union, cit ing the 1st and 14th Amend ments to the Constitution, came to the aid of burlesque Thursday. The CLU said it would join the side of Tom J. Phillips, an old-time vaudevillian, in his fight to have burlesque restored in Brooklyn. City License Commissioner Ed- ward T. McCaffrey refused Phil lips a burlesque license last No vember, saying burlesque meant bumps and grinds and stripping, and they were bad for the com munity. A state Supreme Court later overruled McCaffrey, but the commissioner appealed. The ap peal comes up Friday. McCaffrey, said the CLU in en- tering the case, seized "arbitrary and capricious power," in refus ing Phillips a license. The CLU added that "not only does the commissioner lack au thority to act as a censor, but any attempt to give him such author ity would necessarily be uncon stitutional." Burlesque ' has been banned throughout New York City for more than a decade. GIANT PLANES GROUNDED 'SEOUL Cf!

Harsh Sentences Indicate Discontent in Red Armenia By STANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW (l Experienced Western observers said Thursday unusually harsh prison sentences handed alleged instigators of .a iiot at a football game in Armenia in dicated a smoldering discontent in that Soviet republic. The Armenian Supreme Court; recently sentenced 12 persons to jail terms ranging up to 25 years. They were charged with fomenting a riot over a disputed referee's decision in a game at Yerevan, the republic's capital There is nothing unusual in dis turbances following a sporting event in the Soviet Union, but experienced observers in Mos cow 'doubted that any such sen tences would have been imposed if there had not been political moti vation in the action at the football field. ' ' A story reporting the riot and court action appeared in the Yere van newspaper Kommunist reach ing Moscow Thursday. Under the 105th Year Foreign Student Eats Turkey Not Traditional Rabbit S -- :.

The weather made family gather ing strictly indoor affairs. The elements put an estimated 35 phones temporarily out of busi ness in an area along Auburn road- as damage was done to a cable, according to a Pacific Telephone Co. spokesman. Numerous storm sewers on city streets clogged and overflowed by Thursday night. Despite holiday traffic on area highways, no serious accidents had been reported to city and state police early this morning. Weathermen at McNary Field said .69 of an inch of rain was measured during the day. Gusts of wind at times hit 36 miles per hour. Winds toppled several trees in Portland and brought power fail ures to a number of Rose City families just when they were cook ing Thanksgiving turkeys, the As sociated Press reported. Suburban areas southwest of Portland were particularly hard hit by breaks in power lines. The Salem area forecast calls for showers today through Sunday.

Statesman School Correspondent North Salem exchange student Sigrid Bruehl settled for turkey Thursday instead of the traditional Thanksgiving rabbit of her German homeland, and she found the American festive bird to her taste. Sigrid, a senior at North Salem High through the sponsorship cf the American Field Service and the Salem Downtown Lions .Club took her holiday fare with the Arnold Roethlin family of Salem. Among those around- her table were the Lee Ohmarts with whom she. is living during her year's stay here. Celebrate Harvest In my part of Germany we celebrate the gathering of crops with a festival much like your Thanksgiving Day," says Sigrid. Usually a Sunday late in October is designated for the celebration. On their "Turkey Day" the farmers bring some samples of their best produce such as pota toes, wheat, grapes and flowers to church where they serve as decoration. In the evening the families of the various villages get together for a feast and folk dancing. The age-old custom varies according to the section of Germany, and has become less celebrated in recent years. Home Near France Sigrid's own family owns a 700 morgen (about 1,400-acre) farm in the southwestern section of Germany, not far from France. Until this year she has attended boarding school in Heidelberg, where she was required to study 14 different subjects. She has taken six years of English, four years of Latin and two years of French. When she goes back to Germany next year she will have another two years of high school to attend. Contrasts in foods are the greatest between Germany ' and the U.S., Sigrid reports. In her country, for instance, sweet, sour and salty foods would never-be served on the same plate. And the rabbit would grace the festive table instead of the turkey, Other differences Doted by Sigrid are clothing fashions and the fact that high school students seldom have their own cars in Germany. Bicycles provide stu dent transportation instead.

The dinner in troduced -to this area a new smok ed sausage recipe which Father Neugebauer brought here from Verboort, a community famous for similar dinners. Car Tracing Complicated For Officers Job oi learning the owner of a car abandoned for several weeks on a city street has entailed some unexpectedly deep research on the part of police. They're still not sure the quest is ended. The 1936 Chevrolet sedan was registered to Ivan Merchant. 1115 Morningside Dr., , but Merchant told officers he sold the "vehicle two months ago to C.N. Ediger, 551 Rosemont Ave. Ediger in turn said he traded the car to a Salem motor firm about a month ago. Then it was learned, said officer, that still another motor firm sold the nomadic vehicle on Oct. 10 to Dan Dorman, Ritzville, Wash. Whether Dorman still owns the car well that will require even further research on the part of police. ' The opinion was voiced that if the vehicle uses up gas as quickly as it does owners it would be pretty expensive to run.

God is the basis . for all our gratitude, the minister declared. Traffic Claims 20 Victims in Michigan Area DETROIT, Mich UPi Death struck with darkness on Michigan highways this Thanksgiving Day.
