the business of recording the
words and music of the rites on a
tape recorder. He calls them “por

course, there are difficulties.
“Once,” he says, “I had the
mikes in place, the music started
and the bride came down the aisle.
It was a perfect ceremony until a
barking dog intrrupted the soloist.
Then an airplane buzzed the

Cook May Have
I Reached Pole
j Ahead Of Peary
MONTICELLO, 111. <£*) — The
Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, S. J.,
the ‘‘Glacier Priest,” says the late
Or. Frederick A. Cook may have
reached the pole after all.
Father Hubbard told a lecture
audience here that more than 300
trips made over the pole in the
last year or so by the U. S. air
force bear out Dr. Cook’s descrip
tion of the Polar area.
In- fact, Father Hubbard said
that what the airmen have seen is
closer to Cook’s description than
it is to that furnished by Adm.
Robert E. Peary, generally credit
ed with being the first to reach
the Pole.
Regarding the Peary-Cook con
troversy, Father Hubbard declar
ed, ‘‘the important thing to re
member is that anyone who ac
cepted the challenge of the Arctic
is worthy of the greatest consid
eration—whether he reached the
Pole or not.”
Cook made his trip in April
1908, and Peary in April, 1909.
: Most almanacs and encyclopedias
credit Peary with being the first
to reach the top of the world. But
this. Father Hubbard said, is
mainly because they get their in
formation from the National Geo
graphic Society, sponsor of the
Peary expedition.
The priest, whose most recent
assignment was with the 10th Air
Rescue Squadr#n in Alaska, said
Peary’s description of the area
around the North Pole was that it
was “smooth” and that the last
several hundred miles were “easy
going.”
In contrast, he continued, Cook
said the region was “broken up in
pressure ridges, ice blocks and
open water with rough terrain
over which it is hard going.”
Air force observations coincide
with Cook’s description, Father
Hubbard stated.
Dr. Cook died Aug. 5, 1940, at
the age of 77, still seeking recog
nition of his claim to discovery of
the pole. The discredit cast on his
VERA NELSON TO LEAVE FOR
HOLLYWOOD ON "TRUTH OR
CONSEQUENCES" PROGRAM
Due to atmospheric conditions the
“Truth or Consequences” program
scheduled to have been made from
the Bering Sea Club last Saturday
1 afternoon was unable to be broad
! cast. Instead of a disappointment
1 to the participants it has turned
out to be a lucky break because
former Queen of Nome, Vera Nel
son, known as Mollie White Bear
I on the program, has been invited
| to Hollywood to complete the pro
gram and get a screen test.
Vera Nelson is “thrilled beyond
words” and is busy getting ready
to leave tomorrow with her “date”
Morton Tahlor and David Tewkes
bury, who is making all arrange
ments.
story when he first made his
claims was deepened by his con
viction on Texas oil fraud charges
in 1925. He served five years of a
14-year term in Leavenworth pen
itentiary, was paroled in 1930. and
in 1940 was granted a full pardon
by President Roosevelt.
One of his last attempts to gain
recognition was embodied in a let
ter to the American Georgraphical
Society in 1936, seeking a “full
and impartial investigation" of
his story of discovery.
Congress retired Peary as an
admiral on the strength of his ex
pedition but a clause designating
him as a discoverer of the Pole
was deleted from the bill before
it passed.
Admiral peary’s widow, Mrs.
Josephine D. Peary, discounted
Father Hubbard’s reason for say
ing Dr. Cook might have discov
ered the Pole, rather than her
husband.
“In the Arctic, terrain is always
changing.” said Mrs. Peary, who
has been far north herself. “The
country never looks the same
from year to year.”
Mrs. Peary said results of her
husband’s 1909 trip were “as thor
oughly investigated at the time as
they could be.” She added that she
thought the Peary-Cook contro
versy subsided long ago.
Peary died in 1920 and Dr. Cook
died in 1940.
