BYRD LOCATES
NEW PLATEAU
Little America, Antarctica, Nov.
21 (Via Mackay Radio) (P) A vast
new plateau, "flat as the plains of
Kansas," was added today to tne
maps of the Byrd expedition.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byra
said he believed the area was the
long sought link between the An
des ranges of South America and
the mountains of West Antarctica.
The discovery was made by an
aerial survey crew under Harolo
June, chief pilot. Members of the
expedition said the flight broadens
American claims in tne area, easi
and south of the Edsel Ford range
and adioinine Marie Byrd land.
An airplane piloted by June trav
eled for some 270 miles over the
plateau two days ago, on an eight
hour hop from headquarters. He
did not lly completely across it.
Most of the glistening land was
at an elevation of 4,300 feet, spread
ing in all directions.
In Admiral Byrd's opinion the
discovery indicated the Andean
mountain system, which swings
eastward in the vicinity of Tierra
del Puego and runs in a sweeping
curve under the southern ocean to
Oraham Land, goes westward across
the rim of West Antarctica to Join
the Edsel Ford range. A theory Is

F. R. APPROVES
BENEFIT PARTY
Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 21 iff)
President Roosevelt announced to
day his willingness to have another
national birthday ball this year on
his 63rd birthday with the funds
collected to be used for combatting
and studying infantile paralysis.
Announcement of the acceptance
of the offer by Henry Ii. Doherty
of New York to supervise the na
tional birthday celebration was
made by Mr. Roosevelt today at his
regular press conference. Members
of the Warm Springs Foundation
established for treatment of Infan
tile paralysis victims were seated
with the president.
Last year more than a million
dollars was raised. None of the
funds to be raised at the next
birthday ball would go to this in
stitution.
The Warm Springs -trustees stip
ulated that 70 per cent of the next
collection go to local committees and
doctors seeking to provide care for
infantile paralysis victims in then-
own communities. The other 30
per cent would be expended for
research.
"Your generous offer of November
eighth," the president wrote yester
day to Doherty, "Is most gratifying
to me.
"The trustees of Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation have acted on
my request for their recommenda
tion In this matter and their sug
gestions which have my hearty ap
proval are transmitted to you here
with. "It gives me much happiness to
lend my next birthday, January 30,
1035, to the national committee for
the birthday ball for the president
for the purpose-in the hope that
this effort will bring us nearer to
the goal of forever ending the trag
ic consequences of infantile paral
ysis. ' "May I again express, through
you, my gratitude to all those who
are making my birthday the occa
sion for serving In this humanitar
ian cause."

Washington, Nov. 81 (IP) Recov

of the industrial truce proposed by
President Roosevelt before the elec

representing capital far apart, Mr.
Roosevelt seek a middle-of-the-road
course. He shortly must assure
labor that its interests will be safe

between the new deal and the U. S.

Both sides will be disappointed
when the assurance is given. Each
will find favorite policies scrapped.

Chicago. Nov. 21 (IP) The prose
cution of Samuel Insull and his 16

attempt to crucify character upon
the cross of prejudice."
Charles S. Lounsbury concluded
a dynamic plea to the jury hearing
mall fraud charges with this dra
matic appeal and the further sug
gestion that the prosecution was
undertaken "to appease public
clamor."
Whatever may nvae been the rea
son for the prosecution Lounsbury
continued. It failed utterly.
"Pleaae consider these factors," he
asked the Jury as he drew his case
to a close:
"The failure of the government
to prove their case.
"2 The high type of witnesses
who have appeared on behalf of
the defendants.
"3 -The loss of personal profits to
the defendants a loss which was
sustained only because of their
abiding faith in the future of their
enterprises.
"In the light of these facts I un

fendants in your hands."

4-L ASKS FOR
BOARD POSTS
Portland, Nov. 22 (IP) Member
ship on regional labor boards or any
commissions affecting the lumber
industry was a goal set for the
Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lum
bermen as directors left Portland to
day after their 32nd semi-annual
meeting.
The directors rapped recognition
by the federal government of the
American Federation of Labor as
the sole bargaining authority for
workers in the Industry.
The Seattle regional labor board
was taken to task for Issuing a
statement after a hearing in Long-
view, Wash., two months ago that
the Long-Bell Lumber Sales corpor
ation and the Weyerhaeuser Tim
ber company, both 4-L affiliates,
had discriminated against A. F. of
L. men In favor of 4-L workmen.
Four-L directors "denied and de
nounced" the board's statement.
Pledged to maintain a 45 cent per
hour minimum wage scale for com
mon labor in both fir and pine
areas, the 4-L directors rejected by
a 10 to 6 vote a proposal for a 50
cent minimum. All 13 employer
directors voted against the higher j
pay scale, and they were joined by
six employe representatives. Six
other employes cast the affirmative
ballots and one did not vote. The
45 cent scale is already the highest
in the United States, the NRA code
for the lumber industry providing
only 42 & cents.
RELIEF POLICY
NOT ABANDONED
Washington, Nov. 21 (P) Harry
L. Hopkins, the relief administrator,
evidenced no intention today to
abandon construction of low cost
homes and rural-industrial com
munities for the destitute unem
ployed. Use of relief money for such pur
poses was called Illegal yesterday
in an opinion by J. R. McCarl, the
comptroller-general, who blocked a
relief grant for a low cost housing
project In the District of Columbia.
Legality of the relief administra
tion's national program of provid
ing low cost homes for families on
relief rools was vigorously defended
in a letter sent recently to the
comptroller general by Hopkins.
Whether McCarl's decision re
garding the housing project in the
national capital will affect the na
tional program remained a matter
of speculation.
It probably will not be answered
definitely until the relief admin
istration goes to the treasury for
funds to meet December relief
grants to the states.
McCarl then may require a de
tailed statement showing if any of
tile funds withdrawn are to be used
for relief housing projects In auy
of the states. In the past he has
not required such detailed Information.
