Few Brave Men Ready
To Set Up for Winter
On Ice of Antarctic
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press Correspondent "
;. Washington (U.R) A few
men, not more than 200 in all,
are getting ready to hole up for
the winter at the bottom of the
world. '
Tor nearly eight months they
will live like moles, isolated
from the world in lonely scat
tered camps on the Antarctic
ice.
In another month they will be
the only ones remaining of an
Antarctic population that hit an
all-time record peak of about
2500 during January.
Explorers To Leave , ..
Survey and base-building ex
peditions from eight of the 11
nations planning scientific work
in Antarctica during the 1957-58
International Geophysical Year
(I.G.Y.) are preparing to with
draw temporarily, leaving only
token forces behind. ;
They are pulling out because
the world's wickedest weather
is getting worse and won't im
prove for another 32 weeks or
so. Around April 1 the sun will
sink over the edge of the
6,000,000 square mile South
Polar continent and stay there
for nearly five black months.
Temperatures Fall
Before the sun rises again in
August, and before the start of
the Antarctic summer in Octo
ber, temperatures will fall to
60, 70, possibly 100 degrees be
low zero.
Blizzards borne on winds'
blasting at upwards of 100 miles
an hour will strive to obliterate
all of man's works at the bottom
of the world. 1 ,
i Nevertheless, human beings
will : brave out the Antarctic
winter. .There will be 76 Ameri
cans at Little America on the
Ross Ice Shelf about 700 miles
from the South Pole, 90 at Mc
Murdo Sound 400 miles to the
west of Little America, 17 Brit
ons across the continent on the
Weddel Sea Coast, and perhaps
small parties at scattered bases
of other nations elsewhere in
the earth's last great "empty
quarter."
Around Hollywood

United Pres. Correspondent
' Hollywood (U.R) Raymond
Massey this Saturday night will
glue on a beard and a false
nose, clap on a
wig, and once
; again play
ADranam j-.in-coin
a leg
end he has no
i n te n tion of
avoiding.
CBS-TV is
launching an
unusual "spec-
Aline Mosbr tacular" a
flO-minute color version of tjie
best-selling book, "The Day Lin
coln Was Shot."
Lillian Gish plays Mary Todd.
Comedian Jack Lemmon, in the
most off-beat casting of the year,
portrays John Wilkes Booth. :
Massey, of course,, is portray
ing Lincoln again, a role that has
haunted, him for 16 years; But
Massey not only doesn't mind,
he's happy about it.
'I Like' Lincoln'
"I like Lincoln, and please say
that," Massey told me before
rehearsals for the show.- "Re
cently I was misquoted as saying
my new TV spy series "would
get me away from Lincoln. , I
never said that."
The deep-voiced actor starred
in 'Abe Lincoln in' Illinois" in
New. York for two years and
also toured with the play. His
film version was released in
1939. . : "';
"Down the years I've received
letters about Lincoln," - he
mused. "It's funny, the - identi
fication : you get. . Nobody has
played Lincoln as much as I
have. Four years ago I did him
on "The Pulitzer Prize Theater',
on TV. And I've done a radio
version of the play, oh, four or
five times, on Lincoln's birth
: day." .
Actor Dons Beard
Massey wore a beard at
. tached with a rubber band
only . for the last - scene of the
play, But the TV story is about
an older Lincoln, so he will be
bearded. ",
; "And I'll play him different
ly," Massey added, "As he's had
four years of a""tremendous bur
den."
;' The stately actor claims being
attached to Lincoln never , has
hurt his career. He has played
Pygmalion on the stage, count
less villains in pictures and was
outstanding this year as the
father in "East of Eden."
"But there's one thing I do
been named David William, is
mind the corny cracks," he
sighed. "There's one that does,
'Massey won't be satisfied until
he's assassinated,' now, really!"
Cabinet Authority
On President Urged
Washington (U.R) Former

step in, if the President is de
clared incapacitated, and exer
cise "the executive power." It
would be up to the Cabinet to
say when the President had re
covered. . .
. Mr. Hoover told the House
Judiciary Committee these
changes should be made by Con
gress. He made his suggestions
in response to a committee ques
tionnaire sent him and dozens of
political and constitutional, ex
perts. The committee undertook a
study of the "power vacuum"
created by a President's, dis
ability after President Eisen
hower suffered his heart attack
