(Editor'i note: Thii is the last in a seriei of installment!
on Harb Gray'i account of his trip to Antarctica during

Rio de Janeiro, Braiil, and the trip to the United Stales.)
By HERB GREY
Mail Tribune Advertising Manager
The evening the Glacier arrived, Dr. Earl Campbell,
formerly of Medford and brother of Mrs. Mark Goldy of
this city, visited our ship with his wife, Loraine and daugh
ter, Pamela.
Earl had retired a year ago after a distinguished career
as an educator at San Jose State college in California, then
was asked to go to Brazil as a member of the ICA organiza
tion (International Cooperation administration set up under
the four-point program for underdeveloped nations).
After visiting the ship the next day and luncheon with
us at the Commodore's mess, the Campbells practically turn
ed their attractive apartment over to us as a headquarters,
and graciously became our guides.
Artist Beaumont, Capt. John Cadwalader, Comdr. Joe
Morgan and I drove with them through the beautiful hotel
and apartment-lined Copacabana beach area, then up a
narrow winding road to lofty Corcovado (Hunchback moun
tain), a jagged peak rising 2,300 feet in the clouds above
the sapphire waters of the harbor below.
Here is the famous statute of Christ the Redeemer, and
here Adlai Stevenson and his party, on their Latin American
trip, arrived at the same time to view the fabulous parorama
below.
At close hand we saw groups of small shanties clinging
to the sleep hillsides in the very heart of this great and
prosperous city. These were "favelas," which in Portuguese
means "little villages," which housed the poor. In a heavy
rainstorm, not infrequent in this semi-tropical country, the
shacks often tumble down the slopes leaving the squatters
homeless.
Television in Rio de Janeiro I
compares with TV in the Uni
ted States several years ago.
The three channels in the city
use old U.S. films freely, and
the experience of seeing Rin
Tin Tin with a Portuguese
sound track is astonishing.
Here again we found South
American motorists in a fran
tic hurry, and pedestrians are
urged to beware. In Rio de
Janerio if you are hit by a car
you are the one who is sued.
As in Buenos Aires, drivers
dash here and there with prac
tically no lights on after dark.
No where could we find out
why.
The usual Brazilian in Rio,
armed with umbrella, de
pends upon an old-fashioned
"bonge" or "lotacao" (street
car or bus) to get around the
town.
Little Cable Car
After visiting . Corcovado
and enjoying cocktails and
dinner at the Campbells', we
rode the little cable car to the
top of famous Sugar Loaf late
in the evening. The beautiful
city and bay lay below in the
soft moonlight and a million
twinkling lights. The trip to
Sugar Loaf is an adventure
that can never be forgotten!
The next day Arthur Beau
mont, Lt. Comdr. Bill Kann
heiser, Lt. John Savage and I
joined the Campbells in a
tour of the zoo and visit to
the palace of Don Pedro II,
last king of Argentina.
The effort of many nations
to capture markets and friend
ship in South America is ap
parent in many places.
Throughout downtown R i o
are billboards and signs ad
vertising the "Moscow Cir
cus," so we drove out past
the great race track and, in
an auditorium adjoining, we
could hear the crowds ap
plauding the Soviet entertain
ers. The "Moscow Circus," in
which clowns perform with
out conventional make-up, is
a fine show, we understand,
and playing to capacity
crowds.
Just around the corner
from the "Moscow Circus"
was a Japanese trade fair go
ing full blast.

new state of Guanabara. We
watched some smartly uni
formed Brazilian soldiers be
gin their long march to Bra
silia as part of the dedication
ceremonies.
Driving along Rio de Jan
eiro's beautiful waterfront,
we saw where the big U.S.
Navy DC-6 crashed into the
waters near Sugar Loaf in
February. Our first knowl
edge of tha tragedy came by
wireless message of condol
ence from the Argentine ice
breaker, General San Martin,
while we were rushing to her
assistance.
After touring along Avenida
Atlantica on Copa cabana
Leme, and other interesting
sights in this remarkably
beautiful city, we dined at a
new restaurant overlooking
the waterfront, the climax of
a delightful day.
Temperature seldom reach
es a high point on the ther
mometer in Brazil, but hu
midity plays an important
role in the climate. It is high,
particularly along the coast -78
per cent here in Rio de
Janeiro and not to comfort
able for the Glacier's crew,
fresh from the Antarctic ice
packs.
Relief Mission
So, when word came that
our ship was ordered on a
relief mission off the equator
where a severe Brazilian flood
had taken a heavy toll, those
of us who were not attached
to. the Glacier were anxious
to secure transportation on a
military plane heading for
"The States" on March 28.
Tempting as a visit to San
Juan, Puerto Rico, was, we
knew the trip would be a long
one and arrival time at Boston
highly uncertain.
Captain McDonald and the
Task Force 43 staff would
take this plane home. Bob
Miller, Robin Leech, Grant

Chostn Repreientativo
Since 1922 the U.S. Naval
Mission to Brazil had been sn
effective advisory agency.
Able Rear Admiral John
Quinn, chief of the Mission,
is a well-chosen representa
tive for the U.S. in this high
ly important post. Right now
Argentina is seeking to re
cover the economic and politi
cal influence which it lost
during the 10-year dictator
ship of Juan Peron.
Brazil is seeking to retain
the leadership it took from
Argentina and the contest is
getting hot. In December,
Brazil negotiated a trade
agreement with Russia. This
nation's stake in the Latin
American drama is apparent.
At an informal gathering
at the Admiral's office in the
big U.S. Naval Mission build
ing. Admiral Quinn empha
sized the fact that North
America's staunchest friend
in South America is Brazil.
Later he was a delightful host
at a cocktail and luncheon
gathering at Rio de Janeiro's
plush Mesbla - Sky Terrace.
Bird Cage
A corner section of this
lofty and beautiful restaurant
was the bar in a cage-like
enclosure called the "gaiola"
(bird cage). Lt. Carter Ma
thies, one of the gracious
Navy group, informed me
aside that here young Brazil
ians with enough cruzerios in
their pockets entertained their
mistresses, an old Latin cus
tom, no doubt.
Later in the day, Loraine
Campbell, Pam, Lieut. Comdr.
Bill Kannheiser and I visited
H. Stern's fabulous gem store
at Avenida Rio Branco, then
grove ' furiously with the
Campbell's chauffeur at the
wheel, to the suburbs of Rio
where a famous little Portu
guese wood - carver had his
shop.
The following morning. jtist
one-half hour before the Gla
cier sailed on her flood relief
mission, word came that our
flight home on a Military Air
Transport had been-approved
through the energetic efforts
and influence of Admiral
Quinn.
Suffers Knee Injury
Regretfully we left Arthur
Beaumont on the ship. He had
suffered a knee injury, and
the Glacier's doctor, Lt. John
Dalco, kept him on board for
treatment.
At 3 p.m. that afternoon,
the big Super Constellation
swept down the runway,
circled the beautiful city, and
headed for Trinidad. We were
glad to be on board!
After refueling that night
at the little island off the
coast of Venezuela, and a few
Planters Punches at the tiny
Bel Aire hotel, we resumed
our flight to the big Naval
Air Base at Charleston, S.C.
After Grant Power and I re
ceived first aid in the Swamp
Fox Room of Jack Tar's Fran
cis Marion hotel in Charles
ton, I enjoyed the luxury of a
full size bed for the first time
since I visited the Warner
hotel at Christchurch, New
Zealand.
There was just time, before
my plane left for the Pacific
coast the next day, to take a
Gray Line yacht, flying the
Confederate flag, to historic
old Ft. Sumpter.
How different the calm
waters of Charleston Haibor
seemed after the heavy seas
off Antarctica. Here pirate
ships once found haven and
British men-of-war were driv
en back in America's colorful
past. Here, at this old fort,
the first shot was fired in the
War Between the States!
Arrive In San Francisco
That day, through the
magic of a great DC-B jet
plane, I arrived at my favor-
! ite city - San Francisco - Just
before midnight and hurried
across the bay and through
the Oakland tunnel on a sen
timental journey to Walnut
Creek and a brief family re
union. Then came the pleas
ant drive up "99" to the sun
shine and pear blossoms of
the Rogue River valley.
Like a kaleidoscope, the
places I had visited during
the past few weeks on a trip
longer than around the world
passed in my mind as I drove
homeward. Thgre were ro

Coal Officials Ask
Lower Quotas
For Residual Oil
Washington - (UPI) - Officials
of the national coal policy
conference have called on the
Interior department to reduce
import quotas for residual oil.
They said a recent increase
in the import levels was based
on figures "subject to manipu
lation to suit the immediate
interests of the oil companies."
The views of the coal in
dustry were presented to
Capt. M. V. Carson, oil import
administrator, in a letter sign
ed bv George H. Lowe, con
ference chairman, and Joseph
E. Moody, president.
They said the oil import
program could be made "more

endure.
Looking back, it had, In
deed, been a fabulous trip.
We had completed an his

locked Bellingshausen sea, the
least known sea in the world.
We had landed and planted
the American flag upon the

and Thurston Island, areas
never before seen by man
except from the air!

effective" if quotas were
granted on a three month
period - rather than the pres

called for a "complete re

of surveying existing stocks

The conference officials
said the operation of the pro

"is not adequate to protect
the vital interests of domestic
oil and coal, or guard the
national security."

Nixon Would
Welcome 'Rocky'
As Running Mate
Washington - WNI - Vice

Nixon. It was stated reliably
Tuesday, thinks the next vice
president should be a willing
teammate prepared to assume
even larger duties than those
filled now by Nixon.
In short, he would not want
a reluctant running mate,
In any event, Nixon intends
to wait and see what the situ
ation is at nomination time
at the GOP National Conven
tion in Chicago starting July
25.
Rockefeller fits the qualifi
cations Nixon thinks a vice
president should possess - but
so do other Republicans, he
believes.
Nixon, recognizing the va
garies of politics, knows much
could happen between now
and the convention to alter
the vice presidential outlook.
Rockefeller last December
announced he would not seek
the GOP presidential nomina
tion and said he would not
accept the vice presidential
nomination. But he has since
senlial step in tightening the
administration of the pro
gram." They quoted an interior de
partment news release which
said "irregular marketing pal
terns of a few major import
ers" had been the major fac
tor in the latest increase in
import levels.
"Translated, that simply
means that several of the
large companies engagou-l in
importation of residual oil
recklessly and irresponsibly
proceeded to dispose of prac
tically their entire allotment
in the first two or three
months of the six months' al
location period," the officials
declared. ,
This created a situation,
they said, in which adminis

to bow to the demands for a
