BYRD ADVANCES CLAIM TO HUGE ANTARCTIC AREA

U. S. to Postpone Action Until Expedition Returns From South. By Bcimrr Service WASHINGTON. Dec. 14— Admiral Byrd has cut a sizable chunk off the Antarctic pie lor the United States. An area the size of Texas, says his report, has been flown over and for the first time seen by man. If the United States Government follows up the admiral’s notice of discover}’, this part of the Antarctic may become American territory. The State Department does not; expect to take any action for the' present. Time enough to consider the matter when the admiral comes home and presents a report. Meanwhile, however, the huge | Antarctic pie has been brought again before the eyes of hungry nations that hope to get their share, j Some have already pointed determinedly to the same pieces. Britain, for example, has claimed a huge part of the land down there, | in some cases figuring expansively that a discovery’ along the coast entitles her to the whole wedge narrowing in toward the pole. An international arbitration commission is generally expected, eventually, to be given the task of apportioning out the frozen South. How valuable are the prizes hidden under the icy crust, none of the nations knows surely, but they can see that the Antarctic has possibilities. They know from scientific investigations that there is coal out- ! cropping in Antarctic mountains, a relic of the days when the weather ; was milder down there than it is I today. It has already been demon- ! strated by Norway that there is good hunting for whales in the waters around the Antarctic. Then there is the importance of the Antarcitic as a weather-breed-ing ground to be considered, and scientists of various countries have stressed the value of establishing meteorological stations there. Antarctic weather influences are still far from being understood, but it Is believed that forecasts of i storms and currents starting in I South Polar regions would be of I value financially to countries far j north of the Antarctic. , Besides these possibilities, the ArfarcUc offers a short cut for fliers between the two sides of the world. The freedom of the air in the Antarctic is not likely to be interfered with, but far southern air routes would call for supply bases and landing points and would presumably be national property. Whether the United States presses its claims to sections of this land remains to be seen. But one thing is certain, the nations of the world are not going to leave the Antarctic to the penguins.
