A Medford man, Donald L.j

most important and difficult sur
vey projects in the world," ac
cording to a United Press story
from Kampala, Uganda, Africa.
Higgins and Philip E. Hoff
man, Baltimore, are surveying

which will give the accurate
length of the African continent.
Higgins. who is 31, left in Jan

He is chief cartographic engineer
for the surveying party, accord
ing to his family. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Higgins,
60 North Peach street, and is
a 1938 graduate of the Medford
high school. During high school
years he was interested in ama
teur geology and prospecting,
they said.
Army Schooling Cited
. He feels bis army schooling
is directly responsible for the
surveying and engineering work,
according to a brother, He
spent seven years in the army's
corps of engineers as a technical
sergeant, serving in the Euro
pean theater during World War
II. He received a British decor
ation for his work in surveying
on the English channel, his fam
ily said. Higgins is a member
of the American Military Engi

After being discharged from
the Army in 1945, he joined the

Africa he was in the Kodiak
islands off Alaska, and at the
atomic bomb research site at Al
magordo, N.M. He is unmar

The United Press story from
Uganda said that figures result
ing from the Africa survey
which is to measure a 650-mile
"gap" running through moun
tains, bush and swamplands in
the heart of the Dark Continent's
big game area will enable all
areas to organize their land
measurement under a single sys
tem. It will also give new infor
mation on the size and shape of
the entire world, the story said.
The decision of the United
States government to undertake
the project was made at the meet

International Union of Geodesy

was asked because of the urgent
nature of the work and the great
difficulties to be' overcome.
Survey Delayed
Higgins and Hoffman are. now
reconnoitering the line of the
survey, which runs along the
30th meridian of longitude.
Their reconnaissance, for which
the United States has voted $75,
000, should be ended by mid
April, but the actual survey can
not start before September.
During the present season the
atmosphere over northern Ugan
da, where the survey will begin,
is hazy with the smoke of bush
fires, and no sighting is possible.
Later, the UP story said, the
rains will make movement in the
papyrus-covered swamplands vir
tually impossible.
