Common errors which can cause suspension of pension are failure lo sign the card, or so mutilating or folding it that it cannot be processed by ma chine methods. Persons receiving VA com pensation for service connect ed death or disability arc not required to report income since it has no bearing on their legal entitlement, he added. for . f399 only mirror. 29 x 41 inches 399 only only Deep Freeze Operation Commander Retires By MURRAY M. MOLER McMurdo Station, Antarcti ca wpd Soft-speaking fast moving Rear Adm. David M. Tyrce steps down this week after commanding America' operation Deep Freeze for four years, convinced "there are many things we still need to know" about the frozen Antarctic continent. In a ceremony planned for mid-week at remote South Pole station, "weather permit ting," Tyree will be succeed ed by Rear Admiral James H. Reedy as Commander, U.S. Naval Support Forces Ant arctica. Tyrce. 58, with an imposing record of various assignments and commands since his grad uation from Annapolis in 1025, will retire from the Navy later this year or early in 1063 and "settle down somewhat" on his farm near Bcthcsda, Md. However, he will continue an active role in development of the South Polar regions as U.S. Antarc tic projects officer. In interviews with United Press International aboard planes flying over this cold est, highest and windiest of continents and at his McMur do station advanced headquar ters, Tyrce admitted he was not sure what future role Antarctic would play. Mostly Descriptive "So far, through pioneer explorations, the Internation al Geophysical Year work and the continuing Deep Freeze activities, our work has been mostly 'descriptive," finding out what's here," Tyrce said. "We've needed to know what further lines should be pur sued. "Actually, we still know little about Antarctica. But man has always been curious and this curiosity is what leads to advances here.

As an example, Tyree cited the mineral possibilities of the continent. "So far, more than 100 min erals have been discovered in outcroppings of the various Antarctic mountain ranges," he explained. "But we've ex plored only about one per cent of the land area. What's under the ice and snow, we don't know." Impractical He admitted the continent's remoteness would make ex ploitation of known coal de posits impractical "the re moteness plus the weather." But he said it was possible "we'll find some rare and exotic mineral that the world just must have . . . then Its mining and shipping would be necessary at virtually any cost."

"The camera bugs in parti cular would go wild over our scenery," he smiled. "It's nos sible a tour ship could fol low the supply ships through the channels cut in the 'ce pack each Antarctic spring. Tourists could live aboard ship, visiting the mountains and glaciers, even South Pole, by plane and helicopter." A question about Ant arctica being used as a re fueling stop by aircraft Uying a southern trans-polar route brought mixed reactions from the Admiral. "Certainly, flying through here would cut the air route distance between, say, Argen tina and Australia by one-half to two-thirds," he answered. "But with longer range jet craft and the huge cost of de veloping an all-weather, year round airport, I doubt it will come." Council for Aging Suggests Survey Salem -WPD- A committee of the Oregon Council for the Aging recommended Wednes day that the council seek a grant or other funds to con duct a survey of senior citi zens in the state. The survey, which the coun cil has favored, would deter mine the number of persons more than 65 years of age in Oregon. An estimate in 1961 put this figure at about 55,000. However, Dr. Wesley Nichol son, council chairman, said It was not much more than a guess. The proposed survey also would give a profile of hous ing, income and general needs of senior citizens in the state. EH El CD 13 He estimated cost of an air field, to be used even during the long, dark Antarctic night, at "several hundred millions of dollars" if the only, known practical site on rocky Marble Point, 40 miles north of McMurdo. were used Tyree said he felt the na tions that signed the 1959 Antarctic treaty, shelving at least temporarily the many conflicting territorial claims on this six-million square mile frozen continent, "in tend to respect this document, including exploitation here only for peaceful means."

Will women ever come to the continent to stay? "Well, now, that's a tough one," he answered. "Right now, It's ' strictly a man's world. Any many of the men here, despite their grousing about lack of women, actual ly want it to remain that way as a last male stronghold. The time's not here yet for women.
