Byrd on the 1946- South Pole expedition. Outer re calls in the following dispatch 'some personal anecdotes about the famous explorer who died Monday night. Br DON QUIGG New York U.R) Richard E. Byrd was a man in love with the unknown. He loved it be cause it kept him at his fondest occupation discovery. To an ex plorer, the "unknown" is any portion of the Earth's surface upon which no man has set sight. Admiral Byrd kept ' hacking away at the last big swatch of unknown we have, the ice-potted underbelly of the world, called Antarctica. And he came to love that desolate continent for its very loneliness. "It's an ice age," he was fond of saying. And in truth it is. A vast sheet glacier covers the whole five million square miles of land and hangs over the land edges and calves off into Manhattan-size tabular bergs that roam crack ling through the thinner ice pack at the whim of deep ocean currents. "I feel better down here," Byrd would say, filling his lungs with the icy air of Little America, "it's so peaceful." Then, breathing deeply again of the wonderfully germless stuff: "I really do feel better." And he'd laugh a Virginia laugh, "Hyah, hyah, hyah." The admiral was deeply af fectionate toward his "old vet erans," the men like Bud Waite and Buck Boyd who had made multiple trips with him. Once, during the 1946-47 expedition which I accompanied as a United mmnidammmtxk .ail . . - ii r- Amim- THE KING FALLS Charles Van Doren, TVs biggest quiz show money winner, receives his winnings, a check for $129,000, from Mrs. Vivienne Nearing after he lost to the lady lawyer on the "Twenty-One" program from New York. Mrs. Nearing displaced the young col lege teacher to win $14,000 and become the show's new champ. Education Committee Sends Free Text Book Bill To Senate Floor Press reporter, the admiral ani I were standing together whe we saw a man approaching far away over the white expanse. "That's ol' Dusty," the admiral said. "I can tell by his walk." Sure enough it was. Another time, Dr. Paul Siple, whom Ad miral Byrd regarded as his clos est friend, made a sneak wire recording of another old veteran giving' out with some homely philosophy. When the admiral heard the recording, he doubled up laugh ing and rolled on the ice. He liked to tell the story of the two birds, male and female terns, that got together at the equator and then went separate ways. Some time later the male got a cable from the female: "Am with Byrd at the South Pole." He was able to laugh at his own misfortune. In the late 1920s, when several aviators were racing to see who would be first to fly the Atlantic west east, Byrd seemed ahead in pre parations. But in a practice hop his plane crashed. He was injured and Floyd Bennett was nearly killed. Finally he did make the flight. When I asked him about the race, he chuckled and said: "I cracked up, and Lindy beat me across." The admiral had one exclama tory phrase for all that startled him. "What? What's that you say? Great balls o' fire!" He had been through plenty. Once I came upon him on deck in the tropic, putting heavy oil on his nose. "It's been frozen more than 200 times, he ex plained. "The docs don't want it exposed to the sun." Though dignified,- the aVimiral was informal with those he knew. I have several communi cations from him signed simply "Dick Byrd" with no title at tached. He was one Of the most decorated men of our time. When the icebreaker came to take us home from Little America, the admiral left the flag up there. The sun was not setting at night, and he wanted the flag flying. He left a note in his hut: This has been a peaceful place . . ." Now he's dead, at 68, and exploring an other unknown. Salem (U.R) The Senate committee on education today brought Senate bill 162, to grant private and parochial schools the same privilege of free text books as public schools, to the floor of the Senate with a favor able recommendation. Under terms of the measure, which had opposition up to the last minute, free text books could not be withheld from any private or public school because the school had an excessive number of students per teacher. Right To Books Forfeited Sen. Monroe Sweetland of Mil- waukie, chairman of the com mittee, said that generally speak ing, many schools both public and parochial had not been able to keep the ratio of teachers to students within the limits set by the State Department of Educa tion. In the case of parochial schools this was meant that those schools forfeited their right to free text books, but public schools which likewise did not live up to the ratio standard, continued to re ceive free textbooks. Senate bill 162 would provide equal provisions for free text books to both public and private schools, on the theory of its ad vocates that the child should not be made to suffer because of such shortcoming. The commit tee on education voted 6 to 1 late yesterday to bring the meas ure out with the "do pass" rec ommendation, with Sen. Dan Dimick of Roseburg voting no. Key District Bill Argued The committee heard further arguments concerning Senate bill 64, the so-called key district ing bill. James King, superin tendent of Lebanon schools, and Marion B. Winslow, superintend ent of Coos Bay schools, spoke in favor of the measure, which would revise the system of dis tributing basic school support funds. A further hearing on the measure will be held Friday at 1 p.m. when the committee will hear representatives of the Port land school district speak in op position to the bill.
