LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica,
April 37. (Delayed) (AP) Although

out In which he la spending a lone
ly winter conducting meteorological
observations, Commander Rlohard
E. Byrd atlll la directing tha actlvl
tlea of his field camp 123 miles away.
Ha la doing It by radio.
Tha veteran polar eiplorar, com
pleting his first month ot aelf-lm-posed
solitary confinement, radioed
that ha was digging a third emer
gency tunnel exit from hla under
surfaco shack, In which are housed
his aclentlflc lnstrumenta and aup
plles. At Little America, the men are
putting tha alrplanea Into cold ator
age for safe keeping. The big Con
dor plane, with Ita wlngspread of
82 feet, now la being burled In the
snow and Ice, ,
Drifts had arisen around the land
ing atruta of the plana until the
lowor wing waa levol with tha enow.
Two deep passages wide enough to
accommodate the wings were cut un
der the lower wing aectlona and tbe
enow blocka which were bewn out
were used In building a alx foot
wall around the plane.
Tha flooring of tha passages will
be driven deeper and tha plane will
be lowered alowly by excavating un
der tha aklla. When tha shelter la
completed, the akls will be eleven
feet under the surface.
Tho finished hangar will follow
roughly an oversize pattern of the
plnno. There will be room enough
for the aviation unit to work on
tha engines and plane during the
winter as tha shelter will be roofed
over with a tarpaulin aa soon aa the
Condor la burled.
Two other planea will be aimliarly
accommodated. Connecting passages
between tha hangars will be con
structed. Diminished daylight proved tha
greatest obstacle and the men were
forced to start shovelling and digging
by tha light of a gasoline lantern.
The few houra of daylight were over
cast and bleak.
The weather has moderated after
aeven daya of snow, the temperature
atandlng at a mere S3 degreea be

NEW DTHHANCER
CELLS IF
NEW YORK. (UP) -Phloxine, a
lye closely related to ordinary mer
curochrome, which when Irradiated
with actual, or artificial, sunlight,
can destroy cancer celta and leave
certain types of normal cells un
harmed, recently haa been announced
by John P. Menke, an embroyloglst
of Carnegie Institute. To date how
ever, the principle .has been applied
only to cultures of cancerous cells
outside the body.
When a small amount of the un
irradiated dye was added to the blood
which formed food for the cells In
culture, the cancer cells were unaf
fected until after having been sub
jected to sunllR.'it, or other strong
light, Menko report that when liv
ing cancer cells In the culture media
which contained the dye were sub
jected to light for five minutes they
died. Colncklentally, the healthy
normal cells forming the structure of
the cancer tissue were unhsrmed
and remained alive.
This dye absorbs the light and
becomes activated," Menke explained.
'In this activated condition the dye
produces chemical changes in the
protoplasm of the cancer cells, which
cause the cells to die." Why the Ir
radiated dye Js Total to cancer cells
and non-Injurious to certain of the
normal cells is not known.

Experiment Started by
Physicians Two Years Ago
NEW YORK, May 1 (AP) Lab
oratory bablea, In a broad aenaa of
the word, have become a fact, It
became known today upon the birth
of twlna to a couple living In Long
Island.
Dr. Prances Seymour, woman ob
stetrician, confirmed tha mother's
claim to her "test tube" bablea and
aald there had been eight success
ful detlTerles In New York City
since experimentation in thla line
of scientific endeavor waa atarted
two yeara ago by herself and Dr.

Somewhat astonished that word ot
the birth leaked out, Dr. Seymour
said she presumed the parents were
happy enough over birth of the
children to be unable to contain
themselves.
Hesitant to talk at flrat, ahe
later apoke fr.nkly to avoid public
misunderstanding, she aald.
Thirteen auccessful artificial in
seminations have been .made, ahe
said, eight of them deliveries bo far.
Eleven, ahe said, were actually the
offsprings of the husband and wife
concerned and different only in that
impregnation waa scientific. .
"The other two mothers are both
prominent business women." she
stated. "They wanted bablea but
wero unmarried. They felt they had
a right to have children. One now
haa a baby nine months old. The
other will give birth any day now."
In the first Instance, the physic
ian pointed out definitely, tho babies
are actually of the paronts' own
flesh and blood. In tha second, the
father Is anonymoua aava to 1 the
physician.
In the case of eugenic babies. Dr.
Seymour said, the fathers are care
fully picked and tested.
