AUVA Phone 2-4922 Baseball-Minded Penguin Joins Game in Antarctic Washington Flights beyond the South Pole, fireworks on a summer New Year's Eve, and a penguin that umpired a ball game such were among high lights of Operation Deepfreeze, 1956. They are reported by two re porters who sailed to Antarctica with Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and who now are home again from the bottom of the world. Writer Andrew H. Brown of Wood Acres, Md., and photog rapher John E. Fletcher of Ar lington, Va., both are veteran high-latitude travelers. Scientific Bases for IGY The two reporters accompa nied the United States Antarctic expedition aboard the icebreak ers U.S.S. Glacier and U.S.S. Edisto. They saw and took part in the establishment of support and scientific bases for the forth coming International Geophysi cal Year of 1957-58. For Admiral Byrd, it was the fifth visit to the 6,000,000-square-mile Antarctic continent, less than half of which has been ex plored or even seen. From Mc Murdo Sound to Kainan Bay, where Little America V was set up, the ships of Operation Deep freeze plied back and forth along the Ross 'Ice Shelf and beyond, surveying new coastlines and probing for possible landing points. On one of Deepfreeze's air sur veys across the high central pla teau, Fletcher reached well be yond the South Pole into the area of the "pole of inaccessibil ity," the unmapped heartland of Antarctica. There his party dis covered higher levels than ever before found a vast plain of snow and ice as much as 14,500 feet above the sea. Brown was aboard the Glacier as it crashed through 12-foot sea. ice to open a channel, in McMur do Sound. By snow tractor and helicopter he visited Little Amer ical, and the airfield laid out at Hut Point, so named for the camp built there almost half a century before by South Pole ex plorer Robert F. Scott. Skyrockets in Midnight Sun On New Year's eve, thousands of miles from home, the men of Deepfreeze celebrated with an impromptu fireworks display above the ice of Kainan Bay, even though at midnight the sum mer sun was still up. Naval pyro technics furnished smoke-trailing skyrockets. As base-building went on, the expedition became fast friends with the penguins the real resident-owners of Antarctica. "One particularly friendly and inquisitive fellow," Brown re lates, "decided one day to join a softball game on the smooth ice alongside the Glacier. "He soon found the most ad vantageous spot possible to watch the game immediately behind the pitcher. There he stood, wav ing his flippers and craning his neck, acting exactly as if he were calling balls and strikes in a big-league game. "Finally one batter hit a skid ding ground ball across the in field and dashed for first base. Whereupon our white - shirted 'umpire' waddled just as fast to see what the play would be at the bag." Tempo of Life Has No Effect on Years Chicago (U.R) The tempo at which we live probably has no effect on how long we live, two physiologists said here. They said age has little effect on the response to stress, and chronological age is practically meaningless. The physiologists, Dr. Steven Horvath of the University ' of Iowa and Dr. Dwight Ingle of the University of Chicago, ad dressed a meeting of the Ameri can Pharmaceutical Manufactur ers' association. "Aging is not caused by endo crine failures," Dr. Ingle said. "Aging is a perfectly natural process and the speed at which we live has no effect on the speed of aging." Dr. Horvath said there is an "unknown factor" involved in the speed or slowness at which we age. "A person of 80 may have the body of 40, and vice versa," he said. "Heredity and the ability to adapt to stress and strain are in volved in this process." He said how long a person lives depends on where in the body the aging takes place. He pointed out that life expectancy' Jockey Wins Top $64,000 Prize New York (U.R) A 35-year-old jockey with a passion for art won the top prize of 64,000 on a television program last night. Bill Pearson, Pasadena, Calif., breezed into the big money by identifying six great paintings, the artists who painted them and one teacher with whom each of the artists studied. The program was the CBS-TV show, "The $64,000 Question." Mrs. Ida Mae Sherburne, 76, Nicholasville, Ky., who last week answered the $16,000 ques tion on her chosen subject of horse racing, chose last night to take the $16,000 she has won. She had the option of taking the money or trying for the $32,000 question. ' Pearson brought along an ex pert to help him with the top question. In the isolation booth with him was Millard Sheets, noted American artist, director of the Los Angeles County Art Society and professor of art at Scripps College, Claremont, Calif. The jockey, who has been rid ing horses at Long Island's Ja maica track the past two weeks, does not paint himself, but has a noted collection of primitive art and is a member of the Los Angeles Museum Association. He said he would use the $64,000 to purchase more art. 19 Words Said Enough On Kelly Wedding . Rome (U.R) The English language Rome Daily American carried only 19 words in today's edition of the Prince Rainier Grace Kelly wedding, executive editor Ed Hill said.
