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. For
every one problem the scien
tists explore, they make find
ings that pose 10 additional

problems. So we must go on
from 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."

said that the Antarctic, de-

spite its hostile climate, had
possibilities as a tourist at
traction "some day in the
future."
"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.

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

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

exploration, could be located
here for logistic reasons, but
forecast considerable use in
tracking missiles because of
the Antarctic's dust-free air,
permitting maximum visi
bility. 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. But times could
