OCEAN DEPTHS
NEED FOR RESEARCH. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] PROVIDENCE (Rhode Island), December 11. Admiral Byrd, in the course of a lecture her© to-night, said: "The next step in the field of exploration should be ocean depths. We have solved the major probletns in the Arctic and Antarctic, and scientists are now exploring the stratosphere. The exploration of the ocean depths would be for the purpose of learning about the continents that have disappeared. This would necessitate scientific expeditions as elaborate as those with which we explored the mysteries of Arctic. While for the next two or three years he would personally be busy recording the information gathered in th© Antarctic, Admiral Byrd indicated that an ocean expedition in the future was a distinct possibility.
