(Copyright, 1926, by The Decatur Herald.) WASHINGTON, July 16. Commander Byrd has definitely made up his mind to lead an airplane expedition to the south pole. Feeling that since the American flag has never ben anywhere near the south pole, the Intrepid naval commander who recently conducted a successful flight over the north pole, has begun already the making of plans for the venture into the Antarctic. Will Explore Region, The new expedition will be more of an exploration" and more of a scientific effort than was the flight last May Into the Arctic. The southern polar area, which has been successfully Invaded by Amundsen, the No-wegian and Scott, the British explorer, has in it many hundreds of thousands of square miles of land.

The south pole itself is 10.000 feet above sea level. Although there have been various expeditions on foot in the last century, Commander Byrd feels that man has never actually seen much of the south polar zone. He feels that with an airplane the eye can see, for many miles at a time and that photographs can be made which will add valuable data to the archives of the American navy and to scientists generally. The plan which Commander Byrd has in mind is to sail for the great ice barrier in the Antarctic and there abandon his ship and build winter quarters. He will take with him this time some tractors to drag the airplanes around when starting at the base for trial flights, something whtch he says he should have had along last May in the journey north.

There will be government meteor ologists In his expedition and other scientific men Interested in polar currents and geological studies. Will He Unofficial. Commander Byrd thinks it will take nearly a year to complete plans for the expedition and that inasmuch a It will be necessary to spend" the winter In the Antarctic the whole journey may take several months. The new expedition will be unofficial, just as the last one was, but it will have the sympathetic co-operation of the government. Commander Byrd recently conferred with Captain Amundsen in New York about some of the problems that will be encountered in the Antarctic and he expects to consult the Norwegian explorer before completing plans for the trip.

The two men are friends and never participated In the atmosphere of rivalry wnicn of their respective expeainons vcloped at Spitzbergen. do- LORD OF, THE FIVE AND TENS WANTS TO DIVORE WIFE (By Associated Press) DETROIT.
