Byrd Was Man in Love With the
Unknown, Reporter Friend Says
Editor's note: Doc Quicr was with
Admiral Richard E. 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

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.
