Finn Ronne returned from a year in the Antarctic today and described as "nonsense" re ports that the expedition he headed there was beset by ani mosity and friction. "Every such expedition has its share of friction," the veteran po lar explorer said, "because of the unusual pressures the men are subjected to." But Ronne labeled "absolutely false" a story by Kansas City Star reporter Bill Moore about trouble between Ronne and the nine civilian scientists who shared Ellsworth Station with 30 servicemen. Moore reported Ronne had called the civilians insubordinate and a "bunch of sissies." The ci vilians countered, Moore said, by calling Ronne a self-centered martinet who sought only to en hance his own fame. "I stand on my record of 25 years in tnis new, Konne told a reporter on arriving at National Airport today.

Quill Sam mon. the measure passed the Senate 35-0. But when it was called up in the House. Rep, W. C. Parker moved to table it indefinitely. On a voice vote, the House shouted approval, with only a few "no" votes heard. As Parker made his motion, Rep. Jamex Mackay rushed to the microphone and said the bill was opposed by the Georgia Hos pital Assn., and individually by persons connected with Red Cross blood banks.

Langley has appealed the cir cuit conviction in the first major trial stemming from Portland's year-long vice investigation.

President Habib Bourguiba or dered the consulates closed 10 days ago but the French refused. The consuls of Kef and Souk el Arba were brought here after having been told to leave their ; posts within 14 hours. ' The remote village of Remada. where earlier French troops had held prisoner the deputy governor, one Tunisian national guardsman and a villager, was the scene of added friction. The Tunisian Ministry of Infor mation flew in reporters who found French troops posted M feet apart in a circle around the town of about 700 persons, next to the French base Tunisian charged French troops had broken eut of the barricaded base and kidnaped the trio. A Foreign Ministry note to the French called the incident aggres sion. Tunisia also complained to the U.N. about it HeM Overnight The French said the .three had been held overnight only for ques tioning about the blowing up of the French military truck by a mine planted on the base. Two French soldiers were wounded in the blast. The three prisoners were re leased on direct orders of the French commander in Tunisia. The deputy governor, C. Ahmed Deheche, told reporters, "It was impossible for anyone in our town to have placed the mine. The French guard the air strip all the time and don t let civilians or am mals cross it." Col. Maurice Mollot, commander at the base, ssid pnly one end of the strip was guarded and the mine had been placed at another end. Takes Seriewa View A Tunisian spokesman said the government took s serious view both of the arrests and of the cordon at the village. He said both show "the French think they still command here" in their former North African protectorate. Bourguiba canceled the weekly radio speech to his people, sched uled for today. He would have had to refer to the Remada incident if he had made the speech. He fired off a letter about the case to U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, but asked for no U.N. action. On their part, the French au thorities said Gen. Fernand Gam bles, commander of French, forces in Tunisia, personally issued or ders for the release of the three Tunisians.
