Succession

Senator Kenneth S. Wherry (R. Neb.) predicted that most senate Republicans would support his pres- | idential succession bill. The meas- | ure would make the house speaker heir apparent to the President when there is no Vice President.

Rep. Evan Howell (R. Ill.) called on congress in a Lincoln day speech today to heed the “wisdom and pHilosophy” of the Great Emancipator in dealing with the great national problems of today. Rep. Howell represents the same Illinois district which sent Abraham Lincoln to the house 100 years ago. | His speech of tribute was part of | a nationwide observance of the! 138th anniversary of Mr. Lincoln's birth. | As Rep.

The discovery was made by fliers of the expedition's western task force reconnoitering in PRM Marner “planes Monday, Capt. Robert 8. Quackenbush Jr. chief of the expeditionary staff, said. Discovery of the lakes and mounds, which resembled chocolate drops from the air, raised the question as to whether the area might be warm enough to support yearour human settlements comforta . Expeditionary leaders said they

~ |considered the discovery of great-

est significance from the standpoints of geology and geography. . Dispatches to this headquarters ship from Capt. Charles A. Bond, commanding the western wing, sald there was no smoke in the region.

iThe reference to smoke indicated

that the mounds resembled volcanic peaks, but no further explanation was given. The exact location of the area and the number. of lakes and mounds sighted was not specified. Capt. Bond's dispatches, however, said some of the lakes were big enough for a PBM to land on. . The lake region had a radius of about 20 miles, he said, with the

width of the area stretching about 40 miles. Photographers’ planes took colored motion pictures and still shots of the area.
