Richard Z. Byrd, famed polar explorer, died of a heart attack at his home here today. , It was barely three weeks ago that Byrd, the first person ever to fly over North aqd South poles, received the last of his many decorations. He was pre sented the presidential medal of eedom, accompanied by a per ioral note from President Eisen- (hereafing Said lielp To Cancer S'Mrbre", Calif.

It did (ot. tut nice Weaned by their own pothers developed breast tu mo. Cancer frequently in these groups was 62 per cent for fat mice, against 25 per cent for Bormal-weighi mice. Waxier said health statistics gathered by life insurance groups have indicated a greater percentage of cancer among overweight people, too. hower, in recognition of his dis tinguished scientific contribu tion to the nation. Declining Health Lt. Richard E. Byrd, his son. said the admiral "worked up till along the end"' on the United States' Antarctic programs which he supervised. Still the defiant work-horse and com mander, the gradually declining health he. never admitted pre vented him from personally tak ing part in "Operation Deep freeze," his fifth and final "trip" to Antarctica. He called the ex pedition the "fulfillment of my life's ambition." From all quarters, by ham radio from the men of "Opera tion Deepfreeze," and from Navy brass, came messages of grief and condolence. "We all feel a deep personal loss over the death of the ad miral who was responsible for the great work that has gone on here," said his "Deepfreeze" comrades still probing his be loved South Pole for interna tional geophysical year informa tion." Forced to "retire" from active duty because of a leg injury at 27 shortly after graduation from Annapolis, Byrd went on to cover more square miles of Antarctica than all other ex plorers combined. In the inter val, he became one of the pio neers of naval aviation, served in both world wars, and became the Navy's youngest rear admi ral, at the age of 41. Byrd also supervised the first systematic survey of the Arctic by air and he made the first non stop flight across the Atlantic in a multi-engine plane. Those ac complishments, as well as the encompassing earlier four polar expeditions, marked Byrd as the world's foremost air explorer. By mid-1957 the total popula tion of Australia has been esti mated at 9,450.000.
