The following expert analysis of the South Polar situation is by a corres pondent who was with Byrd at Little America In the 1946-47 expedition. By H. D. QUIGG .United Press Correspondent New York (U.P.) All right, all right. I went on the last one and you ain't gonna get me to go on this one.- I don't say anything about your going on this one. I just said you would give an expert analysis. Ed. . What do you mean, expert analysis? You know I practically never got out of my sleeping bag down there. What do I know about the South Pole? . Well, just tell us the biggest problems you faced on the An arctic continent. Ed. There are two biggest prob lems, Beards and runny noses. Hmmm. Ed. , Everybody grows a beard when he first goes to the Antarc tic. You talk like going to the Antarctic is something people do every day. You know that fewer than 1000 persons have set foot on that continent in all history. Ed. Who's telling this story, me or you? Where was I? Growing a beard. Ed. V Oh, yes. It's very inadvisable to grow a beard when you go to the Antarctic because your breath freezes into it and pretty soon it's a solid cake of ice. This Nurse's Killer Sought by Police Brookline, Mass. U.R) Po lice today searched for a cunning killer in the flaming couch mur der of a pretty nurse. Six friends of Elizabeth M.

But the autopsy was ordered when it was established that the victim never smoked. Police believe the slayer was known to the victim. Dr. Thomas P. Kendrick, med ical examiner, said the autopsy revealed the pretty victim had been clubbed by an assailant who tried to cover his crime by setting the couch ablaze. Repeated blows caused a mas sive hemorrhage, but she appar ently died of suffocration, Ken drick said. The victim had three jagged wounds in her head. Police established the time of death somewhere between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday. They planned to" continue questioning today of all the men she was known to have dated in the past month.

Then, when you go inside your tent to eat, it thaws into your coffee- or soup.: Also, it drips up your sleeve , when you're eating. The best thing to have is about two or three days growth of stub ble on your; face. That seems to fend off some of the cold with out the inconvenienqe of a full blown beard. Now, as for the runny noses you were asking me about . I was asking you? Ed. You said you wanted the big gest problems. In that tempera ture, noses are always running. We had one guy, a driver of a tracked vehicle on a long trail party, who decided to smoke. He paused, with the cigarette half way to his mouth, to ask for a match. By the time he got the match, the cigarette was sus pended in mid-air, attached to his nose by an icicle a foot long. Didn't Admiral Byrd tell you anything about the Antarctic? Give you some inside dope? Ed. Dynamite Tossed Into Picnic; Three Juveniles Arrested Santa Rosa, Calif. (U.R) Three youths were held today on charges of possessing dynamite after one of them admitted toss ing a stick of explosive into a family picnic.

I just wanted to see what kind of a noise it would make." , The incident took place at Salt Point, a mile north of Fort Ross on the Sonoma county coast yesterday. . "They could have been blown to bists by the dynamite," Cook said. Sheppard Evidence Scheduled in Court Cleveland, O. 4J.PJ Dr. Sam uel H. Sheppard, the boy-faced osteopath convicted of murder ing his wife, goes to court again this week in an effort to prove his innocence. Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin, who conducted the marathon trial that ended in Dr. Sam's ' conviction of second-degree murder, granted defense attorneys a hearing for Wednes day to prove their claims that "newly- discovered evidence" points to someone else's guilt. The evidence was based on the findings of Dr.- Paul Kirk, a University of California profes sor who has turned his hobby of criminology into a $100 a day business. Dr. Sam expected to attend the hearing. My tent was right next to his tent. He told me some pretty good jokes. Seems that once 'two Arctic terns a male and a fe male met at the equator. Those are birds that fly from pole to pole. Well, the male didn't hear from her for several weeks after ward. Then he got a telegram from her saying, "Am with bird at the South Pole." And so. . . . ? Ed Yes. Well, that's one of the problems we explorers encoun ter. Telling jokes to people who think puns are for the Byrds. Russians Believed Ahead of America On Guided Missiles Washington (U.R) Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) says he is "certain" Russia is "far ahead" of the United States in development of the interconti nental ballistics missile although senators have been told other wise , He said yesterday that sen ators have been given "assur ances" that this country is far ther ahead than Russiaon what he called "the ultimate wea pon." Missiles Said Lacking But, Symington said he is cer tain the Russians are "far ahead" of this - country in de velopment of the destructive weapon which can be fired over oceans at an incredible speed and a high degree of accuracy. "We've got the program but we have no missiles," he said. 'They are years away. It should be handled on a 24-hour day, seven-day week basis." ;f Symington, a member of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee, was sharply critical of De fense Secretary Charles E. Wil son's new secrecy order. He also criticized what he called secur ity "leaks" by the administra tion and Republican party. Compered To Goebbels He compared Wilson's latest secrecy order to the writings of one-time Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. "I don't see any difference except the date," he said. Wilson's order forbids disclo sure of information unless it is in accordance with Pentagon policy, constructive, timely and "proper," Symington said. He added that a recent pam phlet on military matters put out by the GOP National Com mittee was reported to have 12 "security leaks." Small Plane Hunied In Alfuras Region Alturas, Calif. (U.R) A search was underway today for a small plane that burst into flames and crashed about 12 miles south west of Alturas. The- plane, believed to be a Piper Cub, was flown by Tony Lenard.

Some 15 men from the Alturas sheriff's office, rangers from the Tule Lake Ranger station and five planes of the Klamath Air Search and Rescue Unit began a search for the missing plane. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Pier An geli decided today she has two comforting thoughts from her re cent plane ac cident: She feels more "grown up" and thankful she has a hus band to croon to her while she lays in pain. The Italian Aline Mosby film actress is recuperating at home from the mishap that nearly cost her a baby and kept her in the hos pital for two months. The expectant mother can't reveal details of the accident because of possible lawsuits. But rough air while she was in the ladies' room of the plane jounced her so severely she suffered a broken pelvis, sprained ankle and a gash that left a small scar at the corner of her eye. Vic Wonderful "t feel more grown-up now," she said thoughtfully. "Any ex perience like that helps you ma ture. And Vic was the most wonderful person to me." Pier, her black hair cut short, sat on the pink bed in her bed room at her mother's home where she and bridegroom Vic Damone are living until they find their own house. She wore a blue and white maternity dress and her diamond wedding ring the size of a small headlight. She usually is breathless and girlish, but today she was sub dued. "I was terrified at the hos pital," she said. "I couldn't say a word. I was in a traction splint and couldn't read or write be cause of terrible headaches. The doctor did not want me to cry for fear of losing the baby. ' ' "Day by day for five weeks we didn't know if I would keep the baby. A week ago I finally felt the baby. It was the most wonderful thing in my life." Apparently young love can do anything. Damone, his bride beamed, "would do silly things to make me laugh and make the days pass, such, as banging his head on the door." ! "He would roll on the floor and somersault. He fed me and brought gifts every day," she said blissfully. This gift trend continues. Da mone interrupted our interview to rush in with a Pekingese pup for his dark-eyed bride. "He brought me his new roc ords. He sang to me," Pier con tinued. "Once he put on his nightclub act for me and three nurses. When I would scream from the pain in my legs he would massage them. "He kept telling me, 'Just think. God has been so good to us. We have the baby and you will keep it.' He made me re peat that after him." Thousands of letters poured In from around the country. One Los Angeles school sent a giant get-well card signed by hun dreds of pupils. , "People sent Rosaries, medals and books about the saints," Pier said. "I've never gotten so many letters. Even people in Holly wood I don't know, such as Jane Wyman, wrote me." -Pier now is learning to walk on crutches. She hopes to be back in movies after the baby arrives in August. De Gaulle Movement Defeated in France Paris U.R) French voters apparently doomed the postwar political movement of Gen. Charles de Gaulle, final returns from provincial elections showed today. Everyone, including the gov ernment coalition, and the left wing political parties, gained at the cost of the de Gaulle move ment.
