BYRD’S NEXT TRIP TO ANTARCTIC
VAST COAL AREA ON OTHER SIDE OF POLE? (Received March 14, 11.10 p.m.) MIAMI (Florida), March 14. Rear-Admiral R. E. Byrd said today that his next trip to the Antarctic, the date of which is not yet set, will have far greater results than any venture since the settlement of America. “I am going to see what is on the other side of the Pole,” he said. “I expect to take possession of about 1,000,000 square miles. “What is more > significant for America is that I know there are mountains there with sufficient coal to take care of the needs of the world for some time. I looked into this area on my last trip.”
